F&B not in my budget sadly!

Which cheaper brand and shade have you used for your bedroom?

It's large with lots of light, looking to pick out a feature wall plus one or two other bits...loft bedroom do lots of unusual shapes and nooks and crannies! Rest of the room is white and light coloured floor.

Have been looking but it's so hard! Nothing too bright or too dark 🤷🏻‍♀️

I like Overtly Olive from Dulux we have it on one of our bedrooms and both bathrooms

I have this on one wall in the front room and natural hessian on the other 3. I'm not bedroom I have one wall with it and the rest white. Also have it in the hallway. I LOVE it,it's so restful.

We've just bought Limerick from B&Q own range to do our hallway, literally just got it today.

Firstly, be careful re what you’re viewing on screen - usually, colours look different in real life. I know my favoured colour of this description, but when I look on screen I never would have gone for it!

Most colours out there have a RAL Code. I found the code for mine and then got Little Greene to make it up for me in my preferred finish. But any retailer should be able to do this for you.

Dulux Tranquil Dawn is a really lovely tranquil, relaxing kind of green

Dulux heritage sage green. I got it mixed at trade centre so much cheaper.

Lovely paint to use and Im pleased with the colour. All colours i looked at were either too grey, brown or yellow. I bought so may testers. i wanted a warm colour. I used it in our smallest bedroom which is my office.

Thank you! And the colour on the side of the tin looks very different on the wall!! I'm off to get some testers 👍

F and b vert de Terre colour matched. We could only afford one wall of the real one and did the others in brilliant white. It does look beautiful

Thanks to you lovely people, I have learned about colour matching!

Thanks for all the suggestions, I nearly went for Overtly Olive but am thinking about using it for a feature walk in my living too. Instead.

I went for Farrow & Ball Lichen for my bedroom in the end and had it colour matched! Very happy with it so far 😊

Will put up a pic if I ever when I finish!
