Well, the main room of my apartment is now officially green. With work, spending a day at my parents, etc. it ended up taking a week to paint, but it's almost done. (I'm just waiting for my landlord to come by with the ladder so we can paint the part that's too high to reach otherwise)
I love the new color. It's a nice balance between relaxing and cheerful and it looks very natural.
So now that that's done, the next question arises... what color to paint my bedroom?
My bedroom is small and has one window. But it's not all that bright.
I'm planning on creating a little reading / meditation corner in that room. So I really want the room to feel peaceful and relaxing.
A few color options:
- blue.
I love blue. Problem is, my bed spread and my curtains are already blue. I would either have to find a blue that goes well with both, or change at least one (probably my bed spread then).
But then... what shade of blue? light, medium or dark?
- purple.
it could look very peaceful, but I'm afraid it would be too "girly" for my tastes. I love very dark purples, but I think it would be too dark for the room.
- beige / brown.
that would be difficult because the floor is hard wood (with all sorts of shades of beige/brown), so it's hard to find a beige that doesn't clash with the floor.
- brick red or wine red
these could make the room feel warm and inviting... but I'm not sure if it would feel relaxing enough?
Or any other ideas?
by the way, no pink (I hate pink), no green (one green room is enough) and no blueish green (I don't like that color either).
