Answer 1

i would do a light limeish green on the walls with yellow and blue accents in the room

Answer 2

hmmmmm......gold would look nice. not yellow, but GOLD.or deep purple. OH! the walls could be gold and the bedding purple. that would be a really nice colour combo.

Answer 3

red or white

Answer 4

Red?

Answer 5

Paint your walls black and white. Your bed base can be black and your sheets can be white or vise versa!!! Have fun painting!!!

Answer 6

maybe a peachish color for ur walls and maybe a maroon color for your bedding... just look at a bunch of colors and see what you like the best

Answer 7

if you know any g*y people ask them.

they have amazing taste in decor, it surprises

me so much, haha.

Answer 8

try a white color.... white makes rooms bigger looking and makes colors pop out!

Answer 9

red of some kind

Answer 10

a nice lavender!

Answer 11

dark purple, maroon, YELLOW

Answer 12

Red...  Orange...  Green...  anything that is pretty close to the true color will stand out but at the same time you'll be able to do bedding and stuff that matches without too much of a problem.

Answer 13

A light lilac or a light mauve.  You want light colors if the furniture is dark  A pretty pale yellow.

Answer 14

well at JCPennys they have a wide variety of neat comforters lol.

as for colors try something not dark. it will help brighten up your room while making it look bigger.  mabey like a silver blueish. or a really light brown, that would go with anything.

hope this helps

Answer 15

You need a light color. Try a pale yellow.

Answer 16

You could try white because with your dark furniture you dont want dark wall colours other wise it would clash and be very dark

another colour you could try is light purple (lavendar)

I really depends on what matches the rest of your room

=)

Answer 17

white with a red and black border

ps ur room sounds nice

Answer 18

I think yellow would work the best. It looks so good with sunlight and with dark furniture it wouldnt darken the room anymore.

Yellow is very neutral so you probably wouldn't get tired of it. Im a teenage girl too and i wish I would have painted mine yellow. I did mine pink and im very tired of it. Good luck!

try watching some HGTV shows too!

Answer 19

Brown!!! lol =D

Answer 20

GO with a calm Yellow to a white color it makes the room look bigger

i you want something that pops go with a calm green or red color

and if you want something relaxing go with a light purple or light brown color

Answer 21

I would say do a deep red accent wall, with a darker neutral beige, and keep to neutral bedding colors, with simple lines. It will look classy and you won't grow out of it as you age.

Answer 22

A deep red :)

Answer 23

White but not bright white more like a very pale yellow so it is a warm color. Hope this Helps.

Answer 24

i would reccoment white. its simple. it makes your room look bigger than it actually is. it looks good with and without sunlight.. nothing really goes with brown, sorry. its not to crazaaaaaaaay...i think lavender colored bedding would go good with your room. its feminine, not too dark and not too light.

Answer 25

a light color would be good because i have dark furniture and as an interior designer i painted mine a light silver to match the bed spread

colors like a pale lemon yellow or a sage green will help

if you like nature and peaceful things go green

if you want a more intense look go wild with red brown or a grey

Answer 26

Just look on google.com

Thanks

Answer 27

How about a light earthy green color for the walls, with white bed linens, with green accent pillows.  And to bring it all together add white curtains and pictures of nature.

Answer 28

a lighter neutral color but not white.  maybe a mauvy beige

Answer 29

dark purple is always pretty, or a peachyish pink- thats pretty girly though. also a cream color lasts forever and goes with anything.

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:

I think it would look way cool if you paint your room "bold brick" (# 6327).

Bedding would look good in black/gray, ivory, gold, dark green... Here are some that I would pick. YMMV:
