I have a dark green rug in my bedroom. i want to do a beach theme, what color do i paint my room.?

Question

I was thinking of getting a sunset wall mural and paint my room light purple. how do u think that will look?

Answer 1

The mural is a wonderful idea.  Paint the rest of the room the color of sand.

Answer 2

depends if the sunset has that shade of purple in it.  i would pick a color from the mural and use that on the other walls and ceiling to envelop the room in color.  fortunately, dark green is pretty neutral, and goes with just about whatever you put it with.

Answer 3

I would paint it light blue-with a hint of aqua.

Best of luck,

Answer 4

I love the idea of a wall mural.

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 pale yellow like "chamomile" (# 6399) would look terrific with a beach theme.

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.
