Bedroom colour help needed.
i was wondering would the wall with the windows or the wall with the bed against it be the best to paint as a feature colour?
i have ivory bed stands and bed frame in the same colour. Any suggestions for colour of walls would be appreciated. i was thinking of something like this but the room is north facing so not sure as i want a warm feel and not cold.

5 years agoI would have the bed wall as the feature wall. I'd look at warmer greys. Little greene limestone is a nice colour and you could use a darker colour in that colour family for the feature wall. Alternatively farrow and ball skimming stone, shown in the photo, could work

Comments (12)Hi, I agree with Nancy a white wooden bed would be great in your bedroom especially as you have painted your door white and your skirting is white also, or alternatively a darker grey fabric headboard would also be stunning with white bedding.. Wall colour is a very personal choice but i would recommend a light grey by The little Greene company No. 224 (INOX) i think it would work well with your existing patten and will not be to over powering in the room. See link: http://www.littlegreene.com/paint/colour/grey-paint-colours/inox-224 I would re-sintall the fireplace if you can as would bring back that classic look you are going for, keeping a white surround or shelf would also keep the room feeling light and airy. Pop some frames or artwork up on the walls behind the bed and maybe a mirror about the fireplace (if you re-install) and i think you will have a very stunning bedroom. I hope this is helpful, please email me if you would like to chat. Peach x...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 (2)I like the slate blue of the corded tie back, but it might be a little dark for a north facing room, however, all could be corrected with nice lamps and shades with warm white bulbs. If blue is not to your taste ( personally love a good blue ), then go neutral with the same buff / stone colour in the curtain....See More

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoHi MB,
When creating a feature wall for this room, I'd use the wall parallel to the windows for this / for the bed, or the wall next to them which I'm assuming is the wall you have chosen your Bed on? (Due to the wiring.) Making a feature of the window wall will make the windows look smaller, and potentially drown out any natural light, which of course you don't want when the room is North facing. Both Professionally and Personally, I wouldn't recommend painting the window wall. However, something that could work and potentially consider, is to paint one wall as a feature (darker) and the others in a much lighter shade of colour, if you really wanted to paint the window wall.
I think the general consensus is a warm tone, as it's easy to make the room quite cold with Greys, although they are so versatile and bright in some cases when coupled with the right accessories and furniture.
I've popped below a couple of paint colours from Farrow and Ball Neutrals Range. First, is 'Blackened' which has a sunny, warming look, and would work great with the furniture that you've described. And second is Skimming Stone, which is a Grey tone that I feel is light enough to pull of a north facing room, as long as you use warm lighting, and marry the accessories to the scheme.
Hope some of the above is useful to you and all makes sense, let us know how you get on!

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoWe think behind your bed would look good as a feature wall. Neutral or lighter or lighter shades accentuate a feeling of space and brightness, so are great for small rooms or those that are naturally bright, if you’re worried about it ‘feeling cold’ team the décor with lots of sumptuous throws and knits in varying neutral shades. We can’t tell from the picture, but if you’ve got a large bedroom, north-facing rooms suit bolder, darker shades that make the space appear more welcoming. We’ve attached some pics below to hopefully provide you with some inspiration! https://www.cormarcarpets.co.uk/inspiration-categories/bedroom-carpets/
