Need help with colour scheme for a bedroom
Comments (4)I agree with you, the blue they've got in the advert doesn't look so great. It's definitely not cozy either! Maple tends to have both gold and pink tones, and so goes wonderfully well with all shades of orange. How about a pale wood floor with apricot and ivory tones? You have some good ivory colours in your second picture. I would start with choosing a rug you liked, I've uploaded a picture of one I would choose which would go well as a starting point, but there are lots to choose from. That would make a very cozy room and fit beautifully with the furniture....See MoreColour schemes, wallpaper suggestions - bedroom
Comments (5)Love the colour of the bed. I think I'd build your colour scheme around it with the introduction of some pattern and textures. If wallpapering I would just do the one feature wall behind the bed and keep the other walls, bedding, window dressing and accessories in white or neutral colours. Love this wallpaper which I think will look good: http://www.designerwallpapers.co.uk/colours/aqua-blue-wallpaper/molokini.html#aqua-blue-wallpaper-tint-7 A few cushions on the bed in an one or two accent colours, in this case the green/yellow, or a dark navy will pull the look together. Coral and dusty pinks also work really well with teal....See MoreHelp! Bedroom colour scheme
Comments (3)I guess it depends how you want your room to feel but if you want an ice cream sundae vibe you could pair it with baby pink. For a vibrant contrast you could add coral and oranges. Or for a more relaxing contrast beige and creams. I hope this helps and if you are still not sure it might be worth looking for online inspiration. Good luck!...See MoreHelp with Bedroom colour scheme
Comments (10)The room is all mismatched, style wise, as you've noted! If you're planning to rent it, & be gone for a long period, do you really need to change the bed? If you are set on the industrial look, that type of bed works actually. So, maybe if it has to be bigger, just get the same style. The floor works, the wardrobe works, & the chosen lockers would too. The chandelier doesn't, so swap it for a cheap alternative. And some bedside lamps. If the bed is bigger, you'll need bigger bedlinen too, but if you're renting, they'll have their own. So, you only need a cover for staging the room for renters. Just buy a suitable duvet cover - the pretty floral doesn't work for industrial. Try something with mustard / yellow to add life to the grey. A throw & a couple of cushions, along with the bedside lamps, will help it to look more cosy. A long horizontal piece of art over the bed would make that wall less grim too. Or, you could try putting wallpaper behind & / or beside the bed - there are loads of types. Pick a stick on one that you can remove later. A white brick wall type of paper would work for industrial look, but be a lighter colour. Look at Wallpaper Direct for ideas. If no walls being touched, I know you've not much time, but could you even paint the ceiling white over the dressing table area? The room will look bigger and brighter. Right now, it seems to shrink to the size of the white ceiling area. However, the industrial loft look isn't universally appealing...! I agree that a renter might prefer a lighter, airier, relaxing fresh space. Try a linen type of headboard, not velvet. Velvet means plush etc, & your grey floorboards don't really complement that look. Linen can be crisp & clean & smart. If you're not moving from grey, pick a complementary colour - light grey, or a green - that you can match lighter bedlinen to. Or, again, a lovely wallpaper to tie in your grey banisters with new headboard colour. And paint the wardrobes to blend with the walls so they disappear. Pick lighter coloured lockers - a white table with drawer maybe. Or a floating shelf with drawer....See Morepeachypear
