Help! need a paint color for north facing room with slanted ceilings

3 years ago

I am painting my bonus room/tv room. I am slowing transitioning from a tan color scheme to a gray. This room is north facing with slanted ceilings and a built-ins. Main wall has a mounted tv with black console. Blue Couch and gray chair wont change anytime soon. But rest of furniture will go. Rooms surrounding are sea salt, comfort gray and agreeable gray. Husband wants a warm masculine color with a possible accent wall color.

paint color samples in the first picture are (L to R) Revere Pewter, accessible Beige, agreeable gray & mega greige. But I am not sure I like any of them

Maybe it needs a deeper grey or blue, jewel colours added in cushions etc, animal print, could look great

Thank you yes, it is the room! I bought a tester pot of the F&B Strong White, but when tested it looked cream. I also bought the F&B Anthrocite which was a bit darker. Will try the Bone White also. Love the cushions in the pic - navy with the piping. Would also maybe like to go a bit darker on the back wall as in the pic but wondered if this might be too cold in a north facing room. I know that when the colours dry they appear darker and also in a larger space than just a test area, so may well try something along the lines of the Anthrocite.

Help with paint colour. North facing

I have posted on here for help with bathroom. . Also have another dilemma. Trying to redecorate, refurbish a holiday apartment in seafront Victorian mansion flat. Can anyone suggest a paint colour to go in this north facing bedroom. We're not keen on the curtain colour, but would prefer not to change them to keep costs down. The Windows have a bad outlook so will be putting privacy film on Windows to hide bad view We tried F&B Cornforth White, but thought it may be a bit too dark. Thinking of a light grey, just need help with the actual shade unless anyone can suggest another colour for the room. All suggestions considered. Many thanks

You shouldn’t need to repost - you can edit it (on a pc webpage) and I’d add it to design dilemma as that’s where I think a lot of people follow We used dusk in the valley by valspar for this room, as with the glow from the lamp/copper on the inside of the light it gives a warm glow from the light as well... depends whether you use it more during the day or in the evening. It’s an east facing room but because of the dormer and being a small window it’s not the brightest

Hi Diane, What a lovely pretty room! Loving that Turquoise! I suggest that you go for a cream sofa in linen with a traditional feeling to it. Your flooring is quite dark so I just to have a light coloured sofa to brighten up the lower parts of the room. I found a couple which would work work well in a fairly smallish size: https://www.maisonsdumonde.com/UK/en/p/3-seater-tufted-cotton-and-linen-sofa-bed-in-beige-lise-183879.htm?LGWCODE=183879%3B154165%3B3071&gclsrc=aw.ds&gclid=Cj0KCQiA-4nuBRCnARIsAHwyuPp_YZrArZ8fmfUJDNXfaMOuSEUN5GCn_g046iYtj5sh6Tmkayoj8oIaAtZnEALw_wcB https://www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk/malvern-midi-sofa?material_code=material_varese_velvet_r3&material_item=Varese%20Dove&material_type=fabric&material_range=Varese%20Velvet%20R3&gclid=Cj0KCQiA-4nuBRCnARIsAHwyuPorRVz4vlDEgPMr-jyjZztiHeQIqhYntwlLEFixf4-adwaV5GlLXkAaAhbFEALw_wcB Let me know what you think?

I know it's counter-intuitive, but I'd go deep saturated Blue/green...or Teal. All over. It will unify all the odd planes and angles in this room. Keep all the woodwork a fresh white.

Use pops of jewel toned soft furnishings...to link the blue & taupe sofas...or... Use patterns in tribal/ ikat tones to keep it masculine.

Build up some open shelving for storage along dead-wallspace near the door entrance to this room.
