But I'm wondering what colors I should paint my room? Or any websites that could help me coordinate colors? Thanks!

Answer 1

Lovely sheets. ^^ The obvious choices are probably a blue, brown, or creamy tone. I think I'd go with either blue or cream; there's so much brown in those sheets it's better to accent the blue on them, or use a neutral shade. There are many different cream tones, and if your furniture doesn't match entirely, you probably don't want to use a specific colour.

(If your whole room complements the sheets fairly well, you can probably bring in your pillowcase to a paint counter and ask for a match, or look for one. I don't consider myself qualified to give a match, as colours may look different over the Internet.)

Another good choice to put with the brown and blue is yellow. I repeat myself a lot in this regard. Yellow and cream tones are probably the safest choices out there (except for beige, but I personally am not fond of beige). You'd want a slightly dark cream tone, or a buttercup yellow. If you really want the visual stimulation you can go for a more golden tone of yellow.

However, bedrooms are supposed to be calming. If this is important for you, blue is a wonderful quiet and peaceful tone. If you'd rather have peace over a bright room, then choose blue.

I highly suggest choosing one blue, cream, and yellow paint to try, take the paint chips, and tape them on the wall. You might also buy a small bit of each paint colour and try them on your wall. Good luck!

try traveling the library or bookstores(my prominent) to check the domicile adorning books and magazines to get ideals. Or try examining the crucial hues on your needed or present day fixtures and adorning accents jointly with lamps, pictures, vases, bookshelves, and mattress covers. with a bit of luck you will come across a colour which will pass with all those products. If nonetheless caught, pass to Sherwin Williams, domicile Depot or Lowes or any paint broking that has a extensive style of paint pattern enjoying cards, and take each and every of the paint pattern enjoying cards that catch your fancy. Take turns taping them on your wall and notice the style you like those colorings in the process the day and night. as quickly as you narrowed down the suggestions, pass decrease back and notice in case you may get those pattern paints in the two or 3 oz..jars and paint a pattern board (white poster board or white cardboard container from food market) to work out a much bigger pattern that should assist you're making an extremely final determination. wish this enables....

If it were me, I would paint the walls the color of liquid make up. Not a deep mocha brown but a soft fleshtone color.

After several disasters picking colors, I have found that those little sample bottles of paint they sell in the paint stores now and posterboard are your best friends. Take a piece of the bedding with you and pick a couple of paint samples you like. Take them home and paint them onto the posterboard. One color to each piece of posterboard. Tape them up on your wall using painter's tape and look at them at different times during the day. The lighting changes in your room at different times of day so this will change the paint color. Move them around the room, too. Look at them in well lit areas and in the shadows. Also, look at them when you first wake up. Which color makes you happy? Put that one on your wall.

I know this takes a little time but it beats buying paint, putting it up and crying your eyes out because it doesn't look right. Been there. Done that. The sample bottles save me from that.

Answer 4

I would go with a pale blue. Was reading an article just the other day where blue is really the in thing right now. Check the paint store for blues that would match or go with this decor.

Answer 5

Since it's a bedroom I would go with a warmer tone like a mocha color. It will pick up the brown but also set the tone for sleeping.

Try www.shermanwilliams.com they have a lot of tools to help you pick paint colors.

Answer 6

Pick the color you like best in the print - aqua, pink, or white.
Bring a sham with you when you pick out the paint.
Buy some throw pillows and drapes that match the bedding, or get them in one of the aqua, pink, or white shades.
Then add other accessories like the lamps, reading chair,
vases/flowerpots, candles, ornaments in the brown, aqua, pink, or white.
