Wall color for a modern bedroom...?
Hey guys, I need your help with painting my boyfriend's bedroom. He's 25, his taste is definetely modern, and right now his bedroom colors are white, black, blue. He has black furniture and black window blinds with no window treatments. The rug is made up of squares with different shades of blue with a few gray tones in it and it takes up half of the room. The room is fairly average(I don't know the exact measurements-but it's a perfect square) and his flooring is a honey colored wood. What color should I do his walls and what decorating technique? I was thinking like an ash-blue and the technique suede. Need some more ideas! Thanks! Plus, I wanted to add some red to the decor but he's afraid it might be too harsh or loud. Any suggestions with that either?

- play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find something that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours: http://sherlink.sherwin.com/swapp/color_visualizer/index.jsp They have a color in their softsuede faux finish called "glass knob" (# 7170) that's a smokey blue you might like.
- I like your ideas but if you want something different paint it a sandy color. Behr has one called "Arabian Nights" that would look great with his colors and warm up the space. Red would be a good accent with it too.
- I have recently seen an awesome bedroom with white walls..the wall behind the bed was beige with a white motif of a tree.. it was absolutely beautiful..
