What color should I paint my bedroom?

Q. I'd like it to be cozy, warm, and to give it a rustic feel. My room is sort of themed around nature, but like Maine or Canadian woods sort of nature. There is a large wood slab on the wall, and other walking sticks and natural things like that around, so I think a shade of brown might be best, but the color is not limited to brown. The only thing is that my room is smaller, and the color should not make the room appear drab or light sucking. Also if you have any ideas one or two other colors to compliment the palette would help, thanks.

Answer
I would go with a sage green and taupe for the trim. I like the colors of camouflage. Still, that depends on what color most of the other items in your decor will be, unless you're starting fresh with bedding and curtains. I think both of these colors would look great with either burnt orange or charcoal grey.

Q. I'm in the process of redoing my bedroom for spring.
The room is 10ft. by 9ft. with one small window?

Any ideas....Happy Spring

Answer
I would go with what your heart tells you. I bought a Co-op over a year ago, and have very primitve country taste, so I went taupe/tan on the walls and accented with reds and blues for the bedding. My furnature is wood stained black. A neutral shade such as a tan or gray always works well to blend with any other color you plan to use with bedding, etc. Benjamin Moore has a beautiful line of interior paints I used in my home called the historic colors collection. I used six different shades in my home. All are neutral, as I went with reds, blues, and black in my decor. It went very well.
I used a great color called Quincy Tan in living room with Monroe Bisque under my chair rail. It looks great.
Good luck.
Also, one other route, which I did in my powder room, is to do a soft blue. It is very peaceful and nice to spend time in a soft blue room. Bedding that comes in blues is quite lovely.

Sarah S

My boyfriend are finally getting the large sized master bedroom we want in our new apartment. We want to make it look grown up, so I'm looking for any tips. Keep in mind that since we do live in an apartment we can't really paint, and since we're colleged aged we're on a budget. I'm just looking for tips on colors, drapes (if any), what kind of paintings, decor, anything like that. Also, stuff we should try and keep outta there. Thanks guys!

Answer
Keep stuffed animals out.
Neutral colors on big items are always good, Taupe curtains and bedspread, you can bring color splashes in with a few (not too many) cusions. Blow up some pictues that you like from a magazine, You can either just tack them to the wall or put them in inexpensive frames. A shelf for books and some keepsake items interspersed. Candlestick lamp is always in style.

What color should I paint my walls if my furniture is black? Details inside.?

Dana M.

I bought new furniture, I don't have a picture of it yet, but it is from "wickes." It is black and has a glass table top on the dresser with 2 mirrors and the edges of the glass are green. I was thinking of a light green , but I feel that it is too juvinille, and maybe a darker color will suit me better. Please help! Pics would be great!

Answer
you didn't say what color your floors were, or what your style is, so that might change my decision, but -

You could go with a neutral color, like a light tan or or taupe color. You could do a faux finish like sponging or ragging over the colors to create a softer, muted finish in contrast to the bold furniture color.

Not sure if you are single or married, but if single (bcuz guys probably won't like this), you could paint them a ballet pink for Parisian decor or a soothing lilac color.

I personally would stay away from darker colors unless you wanted to do an accent wall, do the darker color (like a red) on the accent wall and make the rest more neutral and tie both colors in with your linens, flowers or pillows. This might work better in an Asian themed room.

I think the light green would be pretty, just pick a crisp green, not like a mint green color. I like honeydew from Sherman Williams.

I sent you a link to a couple of bedrooms off of HGTV designer portfolios that looked like they had black furniture and you can enter your style that you like, Modern, Traditional, Asian, whatever, and look at more that might suit your taste.

The other one is a Sherman Williams paint color finder that can also teach you how to do faux finishes. Good luck!
