Choose my bedroom paint please!

We are going to be redecorating our bedroom. It badly needs it an the mould on the manky wallpaper was the last straw. :)

So out with the beige textured wallpaper and in with ... What???

Room Is SW facing with small ish window in corner.
Furniture is birch ikea stuff and carpet is beige/ cream. Doubt we'll be able to replace them for some time.
dh is colour blind so it's totally my call. But I can't decide what.

Ds has green-white colour room with dinosaur stuff.
Dd has lemon yellow with jungle animal curtains - although I'm swapping them when I find decent fabric.
I don't want the same colour as their rooms but I do love the fresh/ clean/ bright -ness they have.

Can't wait to get stripping wallpaper and painting!

We can stretch to new bedding as curtains do it really is a blank canvas.

Any ideas - i'm spoilt for choice!

So you will have good light in that room and in the early evening too? Personally I'd keep the walls neutral NOT magnolia though. add in some voluptuous curtains in a bold floral with striped or checked cushions and fill the walls with some happy, relaxing prints. The key is to make sure the colours in the curtains tone togethers you can mix patterns if the colours are similar. Pale/Sage greens work well with a raspberry pink. Don't forget a nice throw and bold lamps (check out tk max for bargains) perosnally I think soft furnishings make a room regardless of colour. Obviously it depends on the sort of person you are too... Enjoy!

What colours do you like.

Teals/greens and blue seem to be very popular.

I agree with Chippychop in keeping the wall neutral and add colour with bedding/curtains.

We have just used this range in DD's bedroom, they are bouidoir colours that are quite muted but not dull. We used manon and ophel plum. They are very pretty

Half the room gets good light but the other half stays quite dark as the window is in the corner of the room.

What about this bedding has the light background, but has bright colours. Or chocolate colours.

If a lot of the room is dark, I don't know what its like but Dulux does a range which is supposed to help lighten up a room. If you get their colours brochure you'll see what I mean.

We're currently doing the bedrooms too. My problem is the paint I like best is called Nude Glow and neither DH nor I want to ask the decorator for it

some of the paint names must have come about after inhaling a lot of the old solvent-based paints I think!

Where- I like the white and aqua bedding - Quite similar to our

Old stuff. browns don't do it for me - probably spend too long with te beige room.
Grimma - Nude glow sounds rather nice! No idea what it looks like - not had a nude glow myself for quite some time.

I really ought to get some paint charts I think.

What about something completely different. monochrome.

White walls with blacks/greys and silvers.
