To regret the colour of my bedroom

[minicooperpooperscooper]

We're moving into a new house and I spend a lot of time deliberating over which colour to paint my bedroom. Green is my favourite colour and a lot of things I own are green - clothes, my phone, my car, my old car and much more. I considered other colours but thought I should go with green as it's my favourite... what could go wrong?

Well the shade of green I've chosen is proving tricky to work with and I now see a lot of inspiration pictures on instagram making me regret my choice. You will see from the photo it's not horrible but the problem is I also want green lampshades, curtains, accessories etc. Which is too much bloody green. If I'd gone with a more neutral colour I could've had green as the accent! I'd repaint it right now but it's a big room and the paint was quite expensive, I got it from Valspar at B&Q and they gave me heavy duty instead of normal so it was a bit dear.

What do I do, repaint the room or just deal with it. I think I want cream carpet but don't really want cream curtains, it's a bit plain. I actually want deep blood red curtains but most people in my life are telling me they will look awful!

YABU - it's fine (give me ideas for which other colours I could incorporate)
YANBU - repaint it!!

I actually quite like the colour, but absolutely not for a bedroom!

Bedrooms should be pink. You don't want your skin glowing green from the reflection of the walls in the evening when you're getting frisky 🤣 or tbh any other time.

I have this colour in my bedroom too and it’s lovely.

I think cream accessories is the way forward here, not more green! It’s nice although I wouldn’t choose it myself but green and green and green could all be a bit much

We painted a feature wall in our bedroom a deep dark green and the rest a very soft light pink, it has worked really well. In a bedroom, I would say choose colours which are either warm or neutral. Might be a personal choice but I only like cool toned colours in bathrooms and kitchens, from the picture your shade looks like a very fresh but cool toned green..

I like it and think once everything else is in it'll look good. Especially if you have lots of art/mirrors on the walls.

Not sure re curtains but definitely not red!

That’s such a mum thing
I did mine a really pale cold blue and she said she felt cold every time she walked in it. I loved it

Repaint it. It really isn’t good.

I'm not keen on the colour, however, if I liked Green and I just paid to have it painted then I just make it work. Like you say your wardrobe is quite big and will cover up a lot of it. Rail shelves or prints....

I definitely wouldn't add more Green though in the curtains or the light.

my friend has just had her sitting room painted Green and although I don't actually like the colour (loved it before she changed it!!) once the furniture is in and some accessories it does look really good. I just don't like it if you see what I mean.

Love these drawers, they'll look great against the green.

I love green, but those are not particularly nice shades of green. The darker accent wall looks really harsh. I would paint over it with the lighter shade.

I love green but this colour is a lot. Could you paint the darker green wall back to a neutral? The lighter green is bold but with neutral accessories it could be a lovely calm space. Sorry, the dark green is just a touch bright

The problem for me is it doesn’t match the green of outside (or offset it)— as seen prominently through the window.

Why are you so dedicated to commenting on a thread that you feel is so unnecessary? You don't need to stay if it doesn't interest you, we'll let you go!
Lots of us enjoy decorating and are looking at ways of helping OP avoid having to spend more money if it can be avoided. There are hundreds of threads on all manner of subjects, I'm sure you'll find something you deem to be worth discussing.

I enjoy interior decorating as well but what I don’t do is paint an entire room a color I chose and apparently still like and then ask the internet whether or not I should change it. If she wanted opinions on which color to choose, asking before painting it would have made considerably more sense. After the fact, the only opinion that actually matters is hers because none of us sleep in her bedroom.

And FWIW, I think that particular green is ugly as hell. There are some gorgeous deep, muted, sage, olive and blue-toned greens that can look incredibly sophisticated, but that particular shade just screams Minecraft / elementary-school-age boy’s bedroom to me. There are about seventeen thousand nicer, more adult-looking greens I’d choose before that one so there, I’ve contributed to the interior-design discussion.

I really like it. I think once you get your furniture in you’ll start to see your vision come to life. Live with it for a while and see how you feel in a few weeks/months. Hopefully once you put your things in, you’ll love it.
