Ok im really stuck!!

Im decorating my room over the holidays, have moved it all around and ready for the new tv at xmas!

But im really stuck on colours, ATM its Blue, i want to tone it down with nice light colours, 3 walls light and 1 feature wall.

Trouble is, iv got blue carpet, and theres nothing wrong with it so not changing it.


Any ideas guys im sooooo stuck!!!


Cheers

How about a sky blue on the accent wall and either Cream or White on the others... or two blue, two white

Or you could go crazy and get Purple but theres not much that will go with Blue carpet

I did type out a long reply about different colours and the way they compliment each other on the colour spectrum, but then the forum decided to go all poo and stopped working!


Your best bet with a blue carpet (depending on the shade) is to go for soft browns and mushrooms.... it will calm the blue down and warm up the room at the same time. If you paint one wall mushroom and the others cream, go for accesories in the room with blue and browns in them to tie it all in

[Amy]

Yeah, looking at the carpet now, I'd do the walls cream, with the wall behind the head of your bed pale brown (mushroom)... then get a nice blue and brown striped throw for the bed or something... not too girly

*edit* added a pic for inspiration.... It's just to show you how the two colours can look nice together

Thats nice!

We did think Brown and cream, tried a tester and the brown looks like diarrhoea lol!!

Just gotta find the right brown i think, as long as it will look right with the carpet :S

Yeah, but that was just to show the two colours together... there are blue walls in that pic!

If Mark uses a soft mushroom like; Dulux 'Rum Caramel 4' on the feature wall and the lightest shade 'Rum caramel 6' on the other 3 walls it should be nice and warm.... (just suggestions) Dulux site


Then maybe a few accesories like these on the bed.... you shouldn't even need to get new curtains

Cushion covers:
