Bedroom Paint Colours

4 replies

I have bedroom furniture painted in swanky pants by Frenchic. It’s a light grey. Not what I would have chosen, but it’s done now and can’t afford new furniture at the moment. In the process of choosing paint colour but can’t choose! It’s a smallish (3.4x3.3m) south facing room in a sixties build. I have thought about just painting white and going for a relaxing feel - but then not sure whether to go cool or warm. Other option is having a dark green feature wall - but not sure if feature walls are a bit dated.

We recently painted hallway outside bedroom Egyptian cotton and found that too grey so that’s not an option.

Any advice would be great!!

I think cool, light grey furniture (which is what it looks like from a quick google) can be a bit difficult to combine with other colours, as it probably goes best with other neutral/cool colours, so you're either looking at more cool off-white or greys or a dark colour. I don't think mixing warm and cool tones works too well in decor.

Sorry, just going with F&B suggestions as they tend to be the go-to with paint colour suggestions and I don't know the Frenchchic brand, but perhaps something similar to Ammonite (neutral, off-white), or Pigeon (a darker grey-green)?

you could maybe get away with a plaster-pink colour? like setting plaster by f&b

Thank you for the suggestions.

Agree it needs to be a cool colour, which is a shame as I would much prefer warm! Having said that I do like the Pigeon colour by F&B. Normally would stick with Dulux but may push the boat out!
