Question

I'm redoing my room and I've already got the comforter, it's zebra printed, what color should i paint???

Answer 1

Zebra and anything! You've got the basic black and white - now what color do you like? It's almost like putting anything with a pair of jeans - it all works! Good luck - LT

Answer 2

Hot pink, lime green, or a medium plummy purple all look terrific with black and white zebra print. If you use one of those colors for the wall paint, you could still use toss pillows in the pink, green, and purple on the bed. To die for............

Go for it!! It sounds like you'll have a terrific room. : )

Answer 3

hmm..with the zebra thing, you kinda have an african vibe going...so i would go with pale tan/yellow on 3 walls (like the grasslands) and bright green on one wall as an accent.  use a mixture of different woods with a rustic feel in your furnishings.  tribal looking carved masks and sculptures/ carved figures. add orange and yellow as accents.  if you have a window, try either a tan burlap or those matchstick blinds.

Answer 4

i think a chocolate brown or have you thought about doing stripes with black and white or black on bottom and white on top hope this helps

Answer 5

Personally, kahkis and reds. The pinks and greens are great, however, very trendy right now....what's your style?

Look thru your clothing and the personal things that you have already. See what you are drawn toward.

If your room is small. stick with lighter colors for the walls, this will make the room look larger. You can also choose the contrasting color and create a foacl point by painting one wall more dramatic thatn the others.    

You can pull in as many colors as you like, but don't get too crazy...it will look cluttered. However, like someone mentioned already, you have the basics w/ blk and wht

Answer 6

a light blue

Answer 7

Noooo!  Wait a second.  It all depends on you.

Were you going for a Preppy/Punk look?  Then dark/hot pink is best.

If you just love the zebra print and wanted to go for a cute look, pastels are best.

Was a tribal look what you wanted?  Then choose green, brown, or sand colored walls.

Good luck ;)

Answer 8

i would get a forest wallpaper and make it a jungle theme!!!

Answer 9

I would go for a natural, earthy green color, with pale green walls, and bamboo/natural accents for an Earth friendly looking room.

Answer 10

I like Hot Pink with the zebra print! Hope that helps!

Answer 11

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 "faraway blue" (# 7133) would look terrific.

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.
