Hi everyone, I'm after a bit of advice on how to put together some become quiet colours in my bedroom. I close to beige but i'm really not passionate on brown or even blue.
At the moment my bedroom is red with a sticky band of white around the top blending into the ceiling.
I fancy a adaptation. Ideas please :-)
Answers: for a relaxing atmosphere, you need to turn to the dust tones: greens, browns, greys.
try doing your walls in a greatly subdued pale shade of grey-green and try the trim within a rich dark brown.paint the ceiling matching color as the walls but add a bit of white to the paint making it a few shades lighter.
Or you could try doing the walls a desk light grey and the trim a dark forest green.
Or try an adjectives brown theme, using mocha, sand, or taupe for the walls, and a vastly pale shade of fawn for the trim.
If you still want to keep the red color contained by your room, use a more earthy, muted red, like brick,russet,or terra cotta. use red for trappings rather than a wall color.
Black can also be a relaxing color if used contained by small doses, like picture and mirror frames.
use some earthy metallic colors for trappings too, like copper,pewter, bronze. Natural slate, travertine, or terra cotta tiles would look great any on the floor or do one feature wall near them.
try some subdued lighting too. use a dimmer switch on the overhead fixture.
Dont forget the importance of texture as ably as color: use some rattan, bamboo, bamboo, burlap, leather, all surrounded by earthy colors.
You can go for an life feel near greens. Green is soothing and relaxing.
