Bed colour with outdated wardrobe?
Hi,
What bed color (upholstered) would go best with this wardrobe and floor? We can't change them or the wall color at the moment so thinking of adding a rug under the bed to break out all the 'wood', change the curtain pole and the curtains.
But I'm not sure what colors would go with all this. The wardrobe seems warm toned while the floor has a slight pink tone to it. Would a combination of cream for the bed and light green or light blue for the rug work?
Any thoughts, please?
Thank you!

What colour should I paint bedroom fireplace and wardrobes?
Comments (15)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...

Comments (3)That's a very striking piece to try to match, and a lot will depend on the layout of your room, and where the other furniture is in comparison to your bed. Cherry wood wardrobes available from basic elegance furnishings http://www.basicelegancefurnishings.co.uk/treviso-ornate-cherry-wood-corner-wardrobe-with-mirrors-p-12116.html. Also traditional. Perhaps they could send a small sample of the wood. A Glasgow firm https://www.robinsonsbeds.co.uk/item/DallAgnese-Sorrento-wardrobe_111_1_00.html do a nice traditional walnut one, or quirky modern ones like 'Shape' or 'Step' which may offer a contrast. All are Italian design and quite pricey. Feather and black Provence range, mahogany veneer, is nice but may not be the right shade. At least you might be able to see a sample in store. I love jprzym's mirrored wardrobes above, very classy. Good luck...See MoreFitted wardrobes - other furniture colour?
Comments (7)Modern interior design takes much more of a mix and match approach these days. Lots of our clients want to get away from interiors all in the same finish or colour. In your case your fitted wardrobes painted in one colour can work really well with the natural look of wood. In this example of one of our kitchen installations we have oak working happily alongside 2 different cabinet colours. Hope this helps and good luck with your project!!...See More- 3 years ago
Found a bed in a lovely navy/dark teal velvet - would it go with yellow/orangey curtains or should those be navy as well?
Also, what nightstands colour/material would go with a velvet bed? The Internet shows a lot ot white or mirrored/glass ones but they look too fancy for this bedroom. Is it OK to bring in yet another wood colour here?
For the rug - tried sticking to neutral but somehow I keep wondering to the colourful aisle, argh.. Sharing an example below.
