Inserting some colour

We have just decorated our bedroom in a mix of Eau du Nil, French grey and white. It has a beautiful calming feel but I would like to add a splash of colour. I'm thinking about a chaise lounge but not sure what colour to go for. Any suggestions?

Comments (14)Greg think you have made a great start, just needs a few colourful statement pieces. Firstly the chest of drawers are fab, my suggestion if you like them would be to utilise them in the lounge either side of the radiator under the window, for storing what looks like cd's the other side of the fireplace in these. You could put the existing cubes either side of the two sofa's. I would ditch the rug in the lounge, and get something bold and bright such as cobalt blue with orange/yellow. In the bedroom, keep the IKEA drawers and paint them either black or dark blue and have them adjacent to each other on the back wall opposite the bed, with the TV on top as someone has already suggested. The art work is great, but would swap it over to where the mirror is and move that elsewhere. Again ditch the rug, maybe an animal skin would work well in here, keeping a masculine feel. Pick some of the colours from the artwork for a well chosen throw and cushions for the bed, and don't be afraid to use some other accessories such as vases, lamps and dare I say candles!...See MoreBackyard bench & gate - time to add some colour?
Comments (6)@Portcullis - sage green seems really popular at the moment which is why I think my contrariness is telling me to go for something different! It also doesn't help with giving colour during the winter months much but on the other hand there's a reason it's so popular! @Patience - thanks for the suggestions. I don't think of myself as a pastel person much but I can see how it would solve some problems like not noticeably fading like bolder colours would. Re. the boundary wall - I'm reluctant to paint it as it's going to have loads of plants in front when I get my pots - it's where the sun shines and I don't like the look of painted bricks much. Thanks for the suggestions - some food for thought!...See Moreneed some colour advice!
Comments (2)many colours could go. brilliant white, white/light gray with pink undertones, lime... what else is in the room, or will be added. if you've not decided on other things, eg. a rug, dresser etc. do so and then pick the paint, unless you choose a go-with-everything paint...See MoreNeed some colour/ design inspiration please!
