Bedroom paint colour

5 years ago

I’m trying to recreate the look in this hotel room. I’ve got wallpaper similar to the headboard fabric - now looking for a paint colour similar to the colour on the panels. Ie Olive/grey tone. Any ideas please?
Thanks!

F&B Drop Cloth or Worsted? I'd go and get some paint charts and cards, the light in everyone's house makes it very difficult to suggest colours as they all look different in situ.

Neptune colour or F&B colours would probably be a good place to start - to me - this looks like Charlestone Grey from F&B . But the simplistic look here is down to the lack of wallpaper ! Not adding it ! So maybe use your wallpaper as a flourish for inside your wardrobe or as a mount for art work - but avoid putting it on the walls. Simple panelling like this is easy to recreate with the aid of MDF and a helpful member of staff (at B&Q) who will happily cut the MDF to size for you ! Just design it to scale to suit your room and work out the lengths you need from big sheets - or if you walls a good - just add the strips to create the look !

Hello Nicola E, How you treat the paint work entirely depends on what you want to stand out.. The fireplace or the wardrobes.. This too depends on what else is happening in the room... If just a bed then it's entirely possible to create a feature of said wardrobes by painting them a bolder colour or the chimney breast a darker colour.. Look at the room and consider what you'd like to have as a focal point and how big the room is.. Shades of cream and off whites are far nicer than white.. So if you decide to include a white scheme, definitely look at shades of off white and creams.. Little Greene has a lovely range of chalky colours.. such as Whitening, White Lead, Stock etc.. These can be chosen for wood and walls.... They give a warm, chalky and sophisticated look which can blend beautifully with colours such as Celestial blue or James just to talk of blue and these are warm not cold blues .. I also like Juniper Ash which is a slightly mauve colour but look for warm versions of a colour you like.. So if the fireplace is to stand out and the wardrobes are a pale creamy colour the accent and focus is the fireplace which will benefit if the room is smaller than you'd like.. If you have a large bed then this might be the best way to consider it. If the room is large and you want something to create a statement then consider the fireplace and wardrobes.. A shade or two darker for wardrobes than chimney breast will create a frame surrounding both the fireplace and for the bed if this is facing on the opposite wall.. Blend the bedding and cushions, should you choose them into the scheme to create a cohesive and stylish finish. Lastly if you want a pale room with painted wardrobes these will form a statement and frame if you have less in the room... : )) Blended.... Contrast... This one isn't a bedroom but you get the idea..

@Rozanne K, it's great your son doesn't bother, he trusts you. But ask him for the final word anyway. Colours influence our moods and feelings, it's a good read. For a 13, if you really love and want dark colour for his bedroom then we would recommend using the bold on/as a feature wall. Use a colour to influence his mood. Pick up the right wall though, so he sees the colour and that it has some light in. Paint other walls and ceiling in another complimentary colour, brighter than darker. No other than a mother knows his son, you know what he likes, his persona. Use this knowledge. Good luck, Paintforme

Love navy feature walls. I have Little Greene Woad in my kitchen. I think the pink will go nicely with it, but I agree with Minnie to use a pale grey for the rest of the walls. Dulux Polished Pebble is lovely and quite pale. Or how about a more dirty pink - something like F&B Setting Plaster or Dulux Blush Pink. Polished Pebble Little Greene Woad

Thank you debzip, that's a lovely colour and I think it will work nicely if it looks on the walls how it does in the photos. The other thought I had was to go for something like Dulux Timeless, and then liven the walls with some vibrant framed prints, maybe pop art style. I'm not sure if that would make it feel too cold but might be more appealing to my son.
