What colour paint have you got on your bedroom walls?

I am, looking for some inspriration. My bedroom walls are a cold blue colour. They were painted that colour before we bought the house. The bedroom desparately needs painting as the previous owners left it dirty and tatty. But I have no colour preference at all. I'd prefer something light but not neutral. I need to make some new curtains and we have white duvet covers, so the paint doesn't have to match anything pre-existing.

So, what colour is your room and do you like it?

Will soon be F&B Blackened, turquoise curtains and this bedding. Is currently a tired pale coffee colour that I can't wait to have freshened up.

Dulux Dusted Damson on the main headboard wall... then, the rest is some kind of warm cream. Goes really lovely with our duvet cover from Ikea....

It all goes lovely with the off-white bedroom furniture 'hemnes' from Ikea.

We have velux windows with black star print blinds...

Have fun! xx

Dulux malt chocolate or mellow mocha on main wall and nutmeg white on rest of walls. I love it as only painted a few months back, nice and calm and clean looking but not too bright and clinical if that makes sense? However I wanted purple originally and DH said no!

farrow and ball light blue, but undecided on curtains. Bedding is always white

I have this lovely pale gold colour in my bedroom - mine was from B&Q and it was by Crown paint. I also have a rich purple jewel colours from Next.

I have just had mine repainted (2 days ago) in Dulux Nordic Spa. So far, I love it - the colour before was far too dark and made the room feel like it was closing in on me, but this is just perfect. Light and airy but not cold.

Duck egg walls (The blue isn't at all cold and its quite a restful colour), white curtains and white bedding and a chandelier a bit like this but in white.

Its my favourite room in our house.

Farrow & Ball's "Pointing". Great as a blank canvas for everything else.
