Bedroom Paint Thoughts please
Hi,
I'm trying to decide on paint colours for my bedroom which is north-facing with little natural light (only one small window). I actually like that as it means there is little light pollution when sleeping, but it's making it hard to choose colours because the light is so dingy and variable.
As you can see, the main colours are dark blue velvet, white and silver/grey. I'll be replacing the laminate flooring throughout the flat, including that room, with white oak hardwood.
I'm thinking of painting the adjacent (no natural light) hallway F&B Breakfast Room Green or Card Room Green. There is an en-suite which I intend to do mainly in white.
I quite like the idea of a blue/green/grey like this: https://www.interiorsbycolor.com/dulux-milky-spearmint-paint-color/ but it doesn't appear to be available in the UK.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Comments (18)Thanks Carolina..love the way you've used the photo..very impressive . So many ideas to look at and I think I have a mirror exactly like that somewhere. Lovely bedside tables too..thanks so much. Minnie great colours ..I like those patterns and fabrics a lot. Ive been thinking about a bed end stool..will keep an eye out for one. The shade is new and so much bigger than I thought it would be..should have measured. I kind of like the bohemian look of it to be honest ..thanks so much ....See MoreThoughts on a dark green bedroom.
Comments (60)Dark green bedrooms are wonderful! I have 3 of them here in different hues: grey-green (Squid Ink by Paper Library), blue-green (Inchyra Ball by F&B), and dark green (Symphony M439 by Tikkurila), which is not dissimilar to the Jotun colour you picked and available in the UK. Nb: I also painted the ceilings with the same colours. I find dark bedrooms so restful and appeasing. Unlike most posters, I am not always sold on contrasting light coloured wood with dark wall colours, I prefer either a natural rich wood colour (walnut, rosewood, mahogany or more exotic woods like sapele) or painting units exactly the same shade as the walls - but it’s a question of taste....See MoreVaulted/sloping bedroom ceiling paint advice please
Comments (7)I think you would actually be ok with taking the color over it all. It probably depends more on how you wanted the room to feel. The current lighter tone gives space to the room, but your selection Oval Room Blue, would probably give you a more intimate feel. With white items such as wardrobes etc, it could end up giving a coastal feel which you could build on as a theme with linen bedclothes, lampshades, blinds....See More

2 years agoI would stick to pale, warm warm colours personally as the ceiling isn’t overly high (and use something a few shades lighter on the ceiling). You could try mylands threadneedle or Little Greene Simplicity but there are a number of similar colours around.
i hope you dont mind me saying as you didn’t ask but i might try making the window look a little bigger by using roman blinds outside of the recess. Ignore what I used, was just trying to find a blind at the right camera angle! It just seems to balance out the tv and headboard height?
