Bedroom Talk
What color should I paint my bedroom furniture?
I have a wood bed, bedside table, and dresser that are black. I want to paint them a lighter color to brighten up my bedroom. For wall color, I'm thinking about maybe a light yellow. What color do you think would look nice for the furniture with yellow walls? Do you think it could possibly look bad if the furniture was just a solid, painted color with no wood grain showing through? Thanks.

- You could paint it a creamy white. And hang white plates behind the bed, on the wall, like the 3rd pic here: http://nestingplacenc.blogspot.com/2009/02/10-minutes-to-room-youll-love-part-2.html Or really, even that star would work. I bet you will love her blog! Have fun!
- My daughter's room is also painted with yellow. I brought this bed from foreverredwood http://www.foreverredwood.com/bunkbed.html and just painted it with brown and then I use yellow and green curtains.
- play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to help you imagine how the colors will look together. 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://www.sherwin.com/visualizer/ I think "irish cream" (# 7537) might be a good choice. You can take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website: http://www.roomvues.com/ You can get color suggestions & for $5 they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.
