Vaulted/sloping bedroom ceiling paint advice please
We have a lovely but very awkward bedroom to decorate! It has zero flat ceiling, it’s entirely vaulted to a high point. We have one full height wall (of which half is given over to door and built-in wardrobe). The other walls go up about 3 feet before the slope starts, and there are also chimney breasts jutting in at a different height.
We’d planned to paint all the sloped parts soft white and the flat walls F&B Oval Room Blue, but doing the base coat has made it obvious that the walls and angles are very uneven and the colour break would not look great.
Some online research suggests it would be best to paint walls and slopes all the same colour. The room desperately needs some colour, but would doing it all in the Oval Room Blue be a bit much? Should I resign myself to a light neutral all over then add colour with furnishings? Is there an alternative solution? We have a wooden bed and otherwise white furniture (built-in wardrobes being painted white). Thank you for reading this far and for any advice! (Excuse the mess in the pic)

2 years agoI don't think so, you have the white and wood furniture, carpet etc to break it up. Sadly i dont have a colour that resembles oval room blue but painted the walls and doors (badly) so you could see what it looks like. Maybe add another colour for cushions or throw

2 years agoHow would you feel about changing the layout? If you put the bed facing the window with a 'false wall' storage unit as headboard (only about 2meters tall x 2.2 m wide). Then this could be a block of colour / pattern and lessen the impact of the slope.
If that not a runner, I'd consider the slopes as a canvas and blend shades in to each other, like today's sunset.

Comments (7)Pink carpet and grey walls and dropped ceiling , it looks like you will not be able to have long curtains because of the heat er under the window ,so you could have a blind or shutter installed and get 2 long panel to flank the side of the window . For the dropped section of the ceiling you can paint the ceiling and the wall all in 1 colour this will wrap everything together ....See MoreBungalow remodelling and vaulted ceiling - advice sought please!
Comments (2)Hi ! There's lots to take into account here - insulation - clearance heights for stairs - fire regs and bedroom escape routes to name but a few ...so although it's fun to get some ideas via a chat thread like this - in order to progress seriously - you really need to discuss ideas with an Architect or Architectural Technician instead, in order to develop ideas which are viable . Otherwise you might get keen on an idea, which in real life, won't actually be allowed . Try the 'find a pro' section to find someone near your location perhaps ?! Looks a fab space as a starting point !! Have fun !...See MoreIdeas for a small north facing bedroom with one slight t fall ceiling
Comments (6)Hi, Like your colour choice but possibly the palest of pinks may be worth a consideration. I've had peach for years and it really is a dated look (or am I just sick of the sight of it? Possibly) Lighting is what we do best, but I thought I'd chip in as I've recently been inspired by a lovely colour combination that's on my wish list. You'll find it in our lovely blog article. I'd say's it's worth a peep, it's fresh and bright and just perfect. You'll notice how crisp the colours look on a white back drop. Hope it gives you a nice hit of inspiration. Great Blog article to share with anyone doing a bedroom makeover. Best Regards The Lighting Company For Beautiful, Affordable Lighting....See Morehigh ceiling bedroom colour choices
Comments (1)Hello, Thats a beautiful space you have. I think we would need to know a little more information. A main bedroom needs to reflect you and should be a place that is tailored to your needs. This will make it as comfortable and pleasing as possible for you to live with on a daily basis. What colours do you like? Maybe you could show us a few pictures on styles or have a look at our imagebooks. What do you want the room to say? 'This is a place to sleep' 'This is a place to relax' 'It's morning, wake up' We take a lot into account when designing a bedroom for our clients to make sure it is right for you and you should do the same. It is an important place. These are the two main questions we would start with with our clients. If you would like to discuss it further feel free to get in touch. Gina...See More

2 years agoI recently painted my kitchen Oval Room Blue and it is a beautiful green-blue shade, bold but not too dark. The room is south facing so very bright. All my friends said it would be too dark but when they saw it they loved it. Bold is beautiful! Here’s a pic.
