NEED HELP ON MATCHING BEDROOM FEATURE WALL WITH PAINT
User
11 years ago
Hi all
I am currently looking at purchasing the following wallpaper design for a feature wall in my bedroom. (just in case I haven't attached the picture properly, the wallpaper is black and bronze/gold which has a slight sheen to it).
I am really stuck as to what colour paint I should use on the walls. My bed and built in cupboards are made from mahogany wood, so fairly dark.
I have two windows in my bedroom which do provide some natural light however I am drawn to a darker room naturally but I am not keen on using black paint.
The room itself is around 18 feet by 12 feet and the height is roughly 2.5 metres.
I would really appreciate any design tips on possible colour schemes to make this work. I am not adverse to lighter shades of paint if you think that would work with the wallpaper.
Thank you so much in advance for your time!

Comments (8)Does it supply sufficient light for reading, if indeed you plan to use it for reading? I like the looks of it but please check out how much light it provides if you want to read in bed. Thanks for the explanation of a bed valance. In the US we usually refer to it as a duster or bed skirt....See MoreNeed help for my enlarged bedroom - Part One
Comments (25)Hi Denise I have just ordered shutters for my house for all the front windows which is costing around £1000 and roughly 8 or 9 square metres I'd estimate. However this is for DIY install shutters from the California Shutter company who have been recommended by a friend who uses them regularly, they aren't arriving until first week of December so I can't vouch how easy they are to fit yet!. They're prices start at £125 sqm in the sale at the moment. http://www.californiashutters.co.uk/ Take a look at Nina Campbell's Pagoda Garden fabric it's similar to your original accent fabric in the photo, although I don't have a sample to hand just now. It looks as though it has the stronger bluer tone you need to stand up to your walls. http://shop.ninacampbell.com/nina-campbell-fabric/autumn-2006/pagoda-garden.html I recommend a sample of a velvet or woven chenille for your footstool such as Osborne and Little's Peregrina F6350-07 or Canaletto F6142-10. These are contract fabrics suitable for upholstery which I can supply. Also Osborne and Little's domestic fabric Brehon Linens in F6520-20 is really gorgeous with lots of blue tones in which I feel would complement your scheme. Finally Sabi Addo F6272-08 is a really luxey light reflecting velvet and Rondelle Takarshi pictured here: http://www.osborneandlittle.com/products-and-collections/fabric/autumn2012/rondelle/tarkashi?id=2c149a3fd57045fd971eb480ac6a2b06 is a beautiful cut velvet for amazing cushions or throws if you are looking for that extra wow factor! If the blues become to silvery or yellowy you could always add in a neutral colour as I have done in my Coastal Scheme if you look on my profile. Just ask if you need to know any fabrics you see on the pictures. Hope this helps! PS I also supply Nina Campbell fabrics so if you need samples quickly please contact me rachel@spiniverdesign.com or 01637 621038 Best of luck I know how frustrating it can be!

Comments (19)Hi again. So this is what I have done so far. Still seems that something is missing?!?? With 2 pictures either side and mirrored side tables it looks better. Mazur, I really like your idea and that was my original plan but then I realised that with my wall space it is hard to achieve as the wall is much bigger then the bed and there is a lot of empty wall after the bed. So I either need to frame the mirrors in together with headboard or have the mirrors as 2 separate pieces ( sort of like my pictures but bigger??? If I frame the whole thing in then what do I do with the rest of the wall? Any thoughts? Advise? Many thanks to all!...See MorePaint to match bedroom feature walls?
Comments (7)Since discovering Valspar I wouldn't use anything else. It's great if you have a young family or painting and area of increased traffic such as a hallway. I've lost count how many marks I've scrubbed off with ease and without removing the paint in the process. Love your choice of paper too....See More
