Paint Design Dilemma Bedrooms

Paint colour advice to match cream + mink + gold accessories

3 years ago

Hi, I am having wardrobes fitted and they will need painting. I am useless with design! I have light cream, mink, blush and matt gold accessories to match the wardrobes and walls to. Something neutral and 'sludgy' maybe? Nothing too dark. Any ideas/tips gratefully received! Thank you :)

I think a nice taupe would work, although a picture of the room so far would help. Something like F&B Elephants Breath or Dulux Perfectly taupe. However these shades can look grim in a room with low light levels. What aspect is the room?

First pic is Elephants Breath and 2nd is Perfectly Taupe.

I'd say a pale grey (flat like aluminum or warm greige like dove) for the walls and cream for the wardrobes and other woodwork.

Or seablue/teal/midnight blue walls?

Thank you. Yes had to use my powers to persuade my partner :D I'm kidding it was quite easy actually. I was looking at that FC rug actually but the size put me off. Looking at your picture I must say I quite like layered rugs. Need to put some masking tape down to see where they could be placed..I'm struggling to imagine it. Or anything else in fact :) We've decided the sofa will stay at the wall for now. It just feels better. I'll order some white hydrangeas..thanks for the tip I'll look at M&S or Bloom does 3 for 2 too. We have an ornate rectangular golden mirror which I want to test above the fire surround before I look for a new one. Not sure about a coffee table. I was going to wait for the armchair to be delivered to help me see if a coffee table is needed..? Will check out the art and cushions. I guess I do need to order a rug(s) or console so we can go from there..

Thank you both for your comments. Yes we are very lucky to have such a nice room which is why I want to get it looking right. I really like some of your suggestions Minnie 101. I wasn’t keen on the orange with the cushions I currently have on the sofas but the ones you have sent a picture of look much nicer. I also like the idea of a bigger rug which goes under the feet of the chairs. I haven’t yet picked any wallpaper no. Yes Carolina, I know what you mean about the tv but unfortunately there isn’t room on the left wall, it would have to cover half a window. Also the best view from this room is actually to the right of the tv. So it’s only really blocking the view of the drive. I’m not sure how else I could make it work really? Interesting about the mirror. I’ve never thought about it like that. This little area annoys me a little and I’ve always thought it was the lamp or the mess on the console. Maybe it the mirror. I really like some of the items both of you have shown. Is there a link at all that I’m missing to these items or is it just for ideas? Not fully sure how this all works. Thank you for coming back with your ideas. It’s a great help

Hello a bit late, perhaps your room is done? :) I would just say not to go with the blues and grays, our living room currently has oatmeal carpet, we recently moved in and put our chocolate brown couches and gold/cream/beige striped silk cushions in there. There was a blue feature wall and we had to paint it ! Looked awful. We are eventually changing the whole room for a black/gray/white scheme but as it is, blue and gray definitely don't match. Of all the paint options celerygirl posted I like the dark rich shades the best. Maybe just a feature wall if you're hesitant and the other 3 off-white. Not sure if this is any use!

HI, If your not keen on Dark colours then how about doing the panelling in a light grey which compliments your dining furniture and a Peachy Pink (don't be put off it looks fab with a grey colour). I am stockist for a designer paint. Please see the links to show you both Thor and Bea Atom Interior Styling Paint house Thor Atom Interior Styling Paint House Bea both colour also compliment White.

'Brave Ground' is this years Dulux colour of the year. It's a cross between grey and beige with a warmer look that will compliment your blush and gold tones. Good luck.
