Paint colours to go with curtains for dd's room

[motherofvikings]

The house we're renting will soon be ours :)

So at last we'll be able to decorate! First on the list is the dc's.

I've bought this fabric here for dd's curtains.

She has a beige/ cream carpet and antique oak furniture. The walls are magnolia bland-ness so I want to add some colour. It's a fairly small room though - 2.5ish meters each side.

I was thinking maybe purple/ green?

Any ideas before I get carried away with paint cards? :)

I initially wanted purple or green for DD's bedroom, after much discussion and many tester pots later i have settled on a very pale blue, F&B cabbage white. The fabric is lovely btw.

I like that colour - might pinch it for our room! :)

I had though about white-ish for dd's room but its no a massively open or airy space iyswim so I'm not sure it would give the right look?

Ha ha, well DD has our boxroom so tiny too, although lots of light. I can't think about it any longer, have driven DP insane with the constant discussion!9 Good luck.

What about f&b tunsgate green? We have a tester up and is a lovely muted green on the wall. Much greener than it looks on the tin. Just too colourful for me!

I'd get a colour match of either the blue, green or pink of the curtains and paint one wall/opposite walls in that, leave the rest cream.

Beautiful fabric.

Thanks! :)

The tunsgate green looks very yellow to me (on my iPhone).

Doing a colour match might be a good idea. :) the whole room will new painting though as I know as soon as I paint one wall the rest will look shabby! to me

I made blinds for DDs room with that fabric. I love it.

I used blue in her walls (Dulux summer medley 4 soft sheen). We have oak flooring, white trim and furniture) It looks wonderful.

If not a fan of the blue, I'd definitely colour match to the fabric.

The blue is lovely but I don't think it'll be right for dd's room. However ds wants his blue and orange. That blue would look good with a few bright orange shapes dotted around. :)

Colour matching might be the way forward.

Runswithscissors - I'm very impressed you made blinds! I've had the fabric for 3wks now and still haven't started on the curtains!
