I'm painting my bedroom- help please?

Question

my room has been light purple for the last three years and my mom finally says i can paint it... my furniture is light oak wood and my floor is carpeted... i cant change the furniture or (obviously) the carpet...

does anyone have any ideas for a color scheme? or any decorating ideas?

Answer 1

what color is your carpet?

Answer 2

Egg-shell white

Light yellow.

Answer 3

Well, if you are a teen. I think something relaxing would be good. Do not do  BRIGHT colors. just something calm.

A good website is Behr.com then click on Color Smart. You can pick and match cool colors online.

I think that it would be awesome if you did like a starbucks theme for your room. For instance you could paint the walls like an olive green color. with crazy art on the wall. Go check out your local starbucks and try to get some ideas from that.

Hope these ideas help

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors 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 a color called "spicy hue" (# 6342) would look great with your oak furniture.

You can also take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

You can get color suggestions & they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.

Answer 5

A dark tan. It will match your furniture, your carpet, and not be a color you will outgrow.
