Paint Colours To Match Black and Silver Wallpaper!!

Question

I am going to decorate my bedroom.

And I wanted it originally black and white,

But i have found some wallpaper which is

black with a silver pattern.

I was going to put it on 2 oppisite walls,

I really don't know what colour to do the other walls though?

Would white look ok ?

Sorry this is so long!

Thank you!!! x

Answer 1

I agree with sabrina about the colours, but i have to say the wallpaper always looks better on two adjacent walls rather than opposite walls, that way you get a lovely corner effect.

Answer 2

White would be great with black framed b&W pics on it to tie in the other walls, made some sliver/stainless steel frames.  If you want to bring in another color, like a lime green, pint, red, etc, then make sure you tie it in  on the wallpapered walls.  You can do framed pics with the matting the same color as the highlight wall - along those lines.  Good luck!

Answer 3

If you have chosen black & silver, I would suggest a bright colour but only in small doses, like in assessories, such as towels, bath mats or whatever.

With that colour scheme, white would be fine as too much of a bolder colour on something as big as a wall, just wouldn't look right.  

Then add splashes of a bolder brighter colour of your choice to give a contemprary look.

Good luck.

Answer 4

Yes I agree with clickety , light gray , and not plain white maybe antique white, Oh and that wall paper sounds awesome :)

Answer 5

I would paint the other two walls a neutral gray. Some gray paints have blue or green colorants in the mix but I would get one with only black and white mixed together. White paint would look good, too, but if you used a light gray, then the black walls wouldn't look so stark by comparison. Red accessories really look good with a room like yours but any bright pop of color would also look great for accessories.

Good luck!! : )
