Should I color my bedroom walls a deep blue or red?

Question

Okay so i'm going to start re-decorating my bedroom soon and for my walls I was thinking I would go for a more deep blue or red color. I'm leaning more towards blue because i've heard red is going to get annoying after a while by some people.

So what should i pick?

Also can you guys post some pictures of bedrooms either a deep blue or deep red color?

Also just to let you know my bed furniture frame is going to be either black or dark chocolate brown. So if you have colors that will go with that please do recommend. I'm looking for a very casual but fun look for my bedroom.

Answer 1

     Congratulations on not being afraid of color, I am a painter and so many people think they can only live with white walls.  I love a red bedroom, think wine colors, burgundy.  My friend has a bedroom that is the perfect shade of , like, cranberry, but not pink, a little more coral red.  It's georgeous.

      Blue is kind of sporty, more masculine, Red is certainly more RomantiC. So it depends on what kind of bedroom you want.  

      Definitely, dark colors make a bed room cozy and rich.  It's nice for watching TV at night, kind of a theatre feel w/ dark all around, and it makes it easier to sleep when it is light outside.

       I'm talking about using the deepest colors on the color wheel

(high quality paints- Ralph Lauren or Benjamin Moore or Pratt and Lambert), don't go too light or bright or it will look like a 'sailor look' or very sporty. Go deep romantic red and you will be happy, I think.

Answer 2

With you furniture choice ...I would say red. Go to Home Depot, Lowes or some place that sells paint and get swatches first! Reds are available in so many shades and hues! When you see a color that you might be interested in then, ask if they have samples so you can see if that shade suits your taste! Please don't do the blue, I tried that before and it was murder priming the walls for another color later on. Good Luck!
