Which colour would you suggest to go with this furniture for a calm and relaxing bedroom?

I'm thinking joas white and pointing but would love some ideas, I have a whole house to do and it's not my forte. House is Georgian if that helps.
Thank you

What about their cooking apple green, a green was my first thought when you said calm/relaxing.
I'm made on burgundy/aubergine type colours.

gininteacupsandleavesonthelawn · 24/11/2015 16:03

I'm already using that in the bathroom :( lovely though! I'm thinking more neutrals/blues...

The only thing with blue is I always think of it as a cold colour, calm and relaxing though.

Hastagwhatever · 24/11/2015 16:11

Old white or French grey are both relaxing colours.

gininteacupsandleavesonthelawn · 24/11/2015 16:16

Do you think French grey would be too much alongside the furniture?

No help here as it's perhaps not right with that furniture but I love Dimpse it was recommended on a previous thread and I've used it in the hall it's a soft bluesy grey except when it looks silvery in the evening light and I am now an official F&B fan.

gininteacupsandleavesonthelawn · 24/11/2015 16:20

Will have a look at dimpse! As I said ive a whole house to do so plenty of walls for lovely colours...

Dare I say it, beige and cream or hint of pink. Pink is definitely a calm colour, they painted the interior walls of my local job centre to keep everyone calm Shock F&B slipper satin looks pink/lilac.

Borrowed light is the most gorgeous pale blue, we have it in 2 bedrooms.

lighteningirl · 24/11/2015 17:20

If you've got picture rails I would use Nancy's Blushes below and a white above would set off that furniture beautifully (but dh would have to be out because he'd never agree)

notafanofwinter · 24/11/2015 17:21

I also have Joas White in a sitting room, it's quite a dark room but definitely has a yellowy tinge to it.

gininteacupsandleavesonthelawn · 24/11/2015 19:02

Will take a look at those, thank you! No picture rails unfortunately. Pretty much all internal 'features' have been stripped sadly :( putting high sittings back in and restoring windows though

Pale powder?

Hemlockinthegarden · 24/11/2015 20:41

I would suggest these shades...

Pardon?

DickDewy · 24/11/2015 20:49

I would go for a white. All White is er, just white but looks fab with grey.

NahItsOkTa · 24/11/2015 20:53

I like Gnat's Chuff and Cunt Flaps. We've done the whole house in them.

Hemlockinthegarden · 24/11/2015 20:56

or Badger's tadger...thats a nice pretentious hue.

lighteningirl · 24/11/2015 21:02

Nasty people out tonight

gininteacupsandleavesonthelawn · 24/11/2015 21:16

Pretentious because I like very Matt paint? Quite the leap. Chip on your shoulder much?

Wowsers!

I can't click on your link (blasted phone) so cant see your furniture. I have used Tunsgate Green and James White in different rooms. Both are lovely and calming colours.

I've also used a lot of Cornforth White. Looks great with a darker grey.

Fluffycloudland77 · 24/11/2015 21:31

You really need to buy the tester pots, we liked skimming stone but it looked awful on the walls.

£5 spent on testers saves you a lot in mistakes averted.

NahItsOkTa · 24/11/2015 21:34

Who's nasty?

cunningplan101 · 24/11/2015 22:03

Yes I'd say Cornforth White too - it's a really relaxing pale grey. You could paint one wall in CW and others in Wimborne White - they go really well together
