Painting Color Advice For a Room With a Black Satin Bed Spread

RE: Painting Color Advice For an L-Shaped room that goes with Victorian Red Post By Eva (Guest Post) (11/12/2007) Hi, I have an L-shaped living/room dining room and I just painted one accent wall in the dining room and an adjoining accent wall in the living room a really deep Victorian Red. I already bought grey paint for the remaining walls but now feel that the grey is too dark. My doors and trim will be a very pale Vanilla Ice Cream colour (very light with a hint of creamy yellow. Can you plese help me with how I can lighten up the grey paint before I put it on my walls. Thank you.

RE: Painting Color Advice For a Room With a Black Satin Bed Spread Post By Patsy (Guest Post) (03/13/2006) In this setting I would use a light green of almost any shade...mint, sage, etc., just as long as it is light. The windows would be nice in white as it is easy to match white with anything. I would tend to use lace curtains, again in white, to bring a taste of France or Italy in the room...some black & white pictures on the walls & a nice Wicker mirror would be very beautiful as well. Good luck!

Some pictures with black frames and crisp white matte inside them would look sharp. I'd paint the trim white with some black and white or just white curtains to bring it all together. (Painting trim black scares me.) I'm thinking sharp, crisp and linear feel. Hope this idea helps! RE: Painting Color Advice For a Room With a Black Satin Bed Spread Post by LisaY.

If you went with the grey, or even a creamy colour (not white, more antiqued) then black molding might look spectacular. Kind of daring I'd say....but it's just paint afterall; it can always be reversed!!! RE: Painting Color Advice For a Room With a Black Satin Bed Spread Post By Lisa (Guest Post) (12/05/2004) Have you considered a 'warm' grey for the walls? Or possibly a creamy colour (not white, but some form of antique white). If you went this way then black for the moldings might look good.

( the trim a shade lighter or darker) and adapt the oriental theme. Those big oriental fans are inexpensive, and often have the 3 colors mentioned here, black, magenta and gold. Add a throw pillow or two with those three colors to incorporate the gold color onto your bed.
