Im redoing my room and im not sure which color scheme to use?

Question

I want something warm and happy but im not a very girly person. i dont mind pink but i would rather my room not be entirely pink. any ideas?

Answer 1

Light colors seem to be out. Deep warm colors seem to attract people looking to buy new homes, but that's just if you are thinking of ever selling your home. I would go with a rich red peach color for the walls and a flat white for the trim. It gives you color and the white adds a feeling of brightness.

Answer 2

i think orange or lime green would be good :]

because its still girly without alot of pink. so use orange, green and some pink or maybe blue in there as well. dont choose only one or two colors because if you change your mind down the road, itll be hard to fix.

ex: i painted my oom purple and everything in it was purple and blue. eventually, i got tired of everything matching & it was REALLY hard to go with another color scheme in the pinks because not of my accessories were that color!

so choose wisely and remember to think ahead if you ever wanted to change it again.

hope i  helped.

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 was never overly girly either, and I never cared for pink. I prefer red or purple. I think it would be fun to do your room in something like "plum dandy" (# 6284) and then you could get bedding in white or yellow or blue even some orange/coral would work. Check these out:

Go shopping and find your new bedding, then decide on paint colors.  You can paint all the walls the same, or 3 the same and one different, and don't forget that ceilings definitely don't have to be white - so few people remember this!  It's easier to pick out paint for the bedding than bedding for the paint.

Answer 5

oranges and yellows are happy colours without being too girly. touches of blue in accent peices would also really stand out.

Answer 6

Well everyone has there own definition of happy. When I think of happy I think of the beach so my room is blue and pink. Very tropicial. That is also warm to me. I think of warm not necessarily as warm colors, but as a place that is inviting and comfertable. So really I can't choose colors for you becasue I don't know what you think of when you think of happy. Think about it. Where are you when you are the happiest? If you could go anywhere to relax, where would you go? When you have an answer, come up with the colors you mostly see. If you think of the sunset, oranges and reds. If you think of the beach, blues and greens.

Hope this helped!!!
