Bedroom Talk
What color should I paint my master bedroom ?
The entire house has a flowing feel except for the 3 bedrooms in the back. The master bedroom and the kids rooms alol reflect our own personal taste and interests. This is the bedding set that I have : http://walmart.scene7.com/walmart/flash_zoom.jsp?company=WalMart&sku=5996080&config=WalMart/zoom_config&default=0008180616645&title=Home%20Trends%20Amaryllis%20Comforter%20Set&categoryid=4044 The furniture is black and the accents are black and rod iron. The curtains are black sheers and I am going to hand paint the tribal design from the bed set around the top og the ceiling. Sooooo.... what color do I paint the walls ? I have been given suggestions of a deep red, silver/ gray color, or a tanish color. Any ideas ?

- paint it red,or if you want to feel happy paint it yellow,but it wont go with red very good ,
- A dark color will make the room feel/look smaller. Tan would neutralize your beautiful red. I would try an off white, ivory, or very pale gold or silver, All would keep room 'open', but work well with the bedding, etc. Could add some gold [ brass ] or silver [ chrome ] accents too.
- It's really pretty and you have great ideas. I would paint the walls a soft, light, muted gray. That was you are still in the same color family, have continued with the warmth, and the walls are not so loud they are taking attention away from the rest of the room and decor, just blending in with the same color scheme.
- I vote for the tannish color, but very light sand, not brown!
- you should 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 I suggest a color called "cast iron" (# 6202). It's a relaxing color & it won't detract any attention from the bedding or the design.
