Bedroom Guide

What color should i paint my bedroom walls?

I just bought a new home and my new Master bedroom has very high ceilings like 12-15 ft. The color of my bedding is chocolate/cream and gold. The bedding is from the Thomas O'Brien collections at target if you need to check it out. The wood furniture in the room is a semi dark wood...kinda like a cherry. The color i was considering painting it was a dark almost a navy blue. I am not sure how good it would look, and i dont want to paint all those walls and then not like it..so i am looking for other suggestions! Thank you!!!

1. What about a cream color with blue trim? Or, a Light blue with dark trim? Or, cream or light blue with borders? Good Luck!
2. some thing light brownish a khaki maybe?
3. IMO, you should paint the walls a med/dark green and accent with the deep blue, gold and deep red.
4. I think the blue would be too dark... maybe it can be an accent wall behind the headboard? Otherwise, unless you have a lot of lighting, your room might look dark and smaller than it is. I would pick a cream or khaki. I have a light blue room (my office) with cherry furnitire, and I don't like it anymore. I wish it was khaki or sage. I have gold and brown in my bedding and my walls are yellow - "buttercream." It's cute, but I have light furniture so that may not work for you. Lots of places, like Lowe's sell the little sample cans - you could get one or two and do large test patches on your walls to see what you like best before doing all of it.
5. Go to www.sherwin-williams.com and click on homeowner. Then click on launch color visualizer. This will open another window where you can choose interior and then bedroom. There will be bedroom choices, I think the first one has darker wood furniture. Click on the one you want to use and you can try out different paint colors to see what you like. A dark, navy blue with your dark wood furniture and chocolate bedding is going to make the room really dark. Since it's a bedroom that might not be a bad thing but it is something to consider. Go to the sherwin williams website and try a dark blue and then also try the cream or gold that are in your bedding.
6. If you have navy blue in mind, then go with navy blue. Don't be afraid if you don't like it. It's just paint. You could add bright, twinkling stars on the navy blue. Or clouds, a rainbow, lightening, planets, whatever you like. It's your world. Go for something different!
