What color should I paint the walls in a bedroom with light wood floor, a earthy-brown bed and lots of light?

I need to paint my bedroom because i can't stand having white walls and I wanted other peoples opinions on what color would go well in a room that has light wooden floors, a earthy-brown bedspread with maroon sheets and gets lots of sunlight during the day. I'm trying to get some new idea's that would go well and make the room look a little nicer than it currently does.

  1. Pale blue.
  2. maybe a light greyish color,pale blue or green.nothing bright or u will never sleep
  3. you can do a maroon for a bold look.. light blue for and airy look, green to emphasize the earth tones... you can even paint the walls 1 different colors
  4. Use a beige tone. It'd go great with your flooring & bed.
  5. I can give you thrree thoughts but i havent seen the room cause ceiling height and base board color plays a part too. Thought one which is easy painting, a very deep red which will absorb the light and enhance your comfort set. thought number two, A nice yellow such as honey (girls like it) but this takes a tone down which requires a tinted glaze, such as brown or even deep red, (your local paint department should have pamplets on how to do it yourself.) I know it sounds crazy but ive seen it, NICE.. My final thought is to to take something in your design of the room (example the color of a shirt in a picture on the wall, or a less noticed color in the comfort set) and paint one wall that color, perferable one that has the window or windows or big furniture up against it and then pic a earthy tone that is a lighter shade.. If I sound crazy, than my other answer is to go to the paint store and gather some pamplets on painting.
  6. White is no doubt the best for rooms with dark furnitures as it makes a room looks spacious but as you've said, you can't stand having white walls, i believe sand and ivory works just as well.
  7. Blue! Blue is the best color to use in the bedroom because it's very relaxing. I would choose something like Sherwin Williams' "rapture blue." It's nice & bright, so the maroon sheets & brown bedspread will really "pop" against it.
