WIBU to paint our bedroom orange?

[matildasquared]

We got a bit of wall replastered in our bedroom and now we're getting ready to paint over the boring, dingy magnolia. I'm going to sew new curtains too, and there's a neutral rug.

To give a bit of context, I love to paint. Since we've moved in I've painted the living room coral/peach, the kitchen teal, the basement yellow, and the bathroom seafoam green. It's a dark terraced house so we try to make things bright.

At first my husband said I had free rein for the bedroom so I was thinking sky blue... lilac... But then this morning he confessed he really really wants...orange.

Orange. Orange. He wants zig-zaggy orangey curtains too.

I can't get my head round it. Orange bedroom? I can tell he really wants it but orange.

Could an orange bedroom work?

Orange walls sound hideous.

Choose a paint color one or two shades lighter than you wish the walls to appear. My brother had a very orange room c1974. It was lurid at night with the lights on. Someone once stopped to tell us the room was on fire.

My DD talked me into painting her bedroom bright orange during her 'Orange Phase'.

I only did one wall, it looked bloody awful, it glowed when the lights were on and was an absolute bastard to paint over when she finally came to her senses
