What colour with purple for spare bedroom/office?

I have purple bedding in the spare bedroom, we havnt decorated it since moving in yet. It's also used as my office (wfh permenantly) so I want the walls a fairly light/bright colour. Don't really want purple walls and I think grey would depress me being in there all day. We like bright colours and I like the idea of a deep teal but don't think it goes with purple really, any other colours that would? Or just suck it up and buy new bedding?

I think white goes well with purple. I think purple on walls can look a bit weird like it's got a weird glow to it, unless it's a nice deep plum.

Green?
Or peacock-type colours: teal, blue, emerald etc?

I have one wall with purple wallpaper, the rest white.

I would say green. But I love purple so this is good for ideas! I like the one purple wall and bed.

Green and actually suggestion saying orange is interesting. Depends on the tone of purple as well.

Hiphopskotch · 10/02/2022 01:54

White walls and orange as an accent colour in your soft furnishings - cushions for the bed etc Smile

Yellow and orange and great with purple.

Personally I’d change the bedding and paint the walls any colour you wish.

@Butterfly08

White, or a shade thereof. Christ though, I wish I had your problems. Whining on about how the bedding doesn't match the walls! What a fucking joke.
It’s a Home Decoration thread!

Why on Earth have you chosen to click through to a home decor thread in order to criticise people asking for home decor ideas @Butterfly08 ? Do you realise that the internet is not compulsory? You're quite welcome to fuck off and be nasty to folk elsewhere.

@FurBabyMum02 I think a greenish teal or an emerald/peacock green would work.
I'd go with deep jewel colours and a 'Moroccan' vibe

What sort of question do you think people should be asking in the Home Decoration topic?

OP do you have a picture of the covers so we can see the shade of purple?

trickyex · 10/02/2022 09:28

Pics would be good, perhaps change the bedding if its not to your taste.
I do agree a muted green could look good and is always a great choice for study/office. Will dig out pics.

SpacePotato · 10/02/2022 09:57

Why would you want to work around something as easily replaceable as the bedding?

Paint the walls deep teal if you love it, then buy some new bedding.

Ariela · 10/02/2022 09:59

Pale fruity lilac walls and purple everything else (chosen around a purple futon I inherited) plus bright yellow files and accessories was my office at last house! Everyone loved it.

SnowFlo · 10/02/2022 10:00

I personally love sage green with deep purple.

LaBellina · 10/02/2022 10:00

A beautiful duck egg green or a very pale buttercup yellow.

FurBabyMum02 · 10/02/2022 10:25

I can't add a pic it won't post for some reason but it's a deep purple like @newyearnewminty has posted. I do like the sage/muted green or similar idea I hadn't thought of that.
@spacepotato it's only that I already have the bedding tbh, there's nothing wrong with it, I like it and it seemed a waste to buy new

I have had purple with green before and like the combo. My bedroom is purple with cream which I love.

You're all slaves!
