Choosing to paint ceiling in bedroom- is it too much??
The new bed was just delivered. It has a gray headboard chosen bc I wanted a neutral color. My plan is to have an accent wall behind the bed using a wallpaper (Flourish by Candace Olson) and then painting the other 3 walls a white. I bought the bedspread that picks up the blue/greens in the wallpaper. It’s similar to SW Lakeshore. I love the look of a light blue ceiling but I’m wondering if there will be too much going on between the wallpaper, the white walls, the dark bedspread, to paint the ceiling. My challenge is to find the right white to go with wallpaper background.
The picture is of the bed but taken from the website.
What do you think- paint light blue or the same color as the walls (which I’m still struggling with).

Comments (36)I would also definitely go white if the windows are on the green wall. Will be much more natural to tie the accent wall with the stark wht contrasting walls. Always a very chic contemporary look. Also very relaxing as opposed to the treatments standing out when you already have your standout feature- the green accent wall. Great white bed you ordered! Then I love all the blue/green/ silver accent advice. I did a similar room in purples/greys/ whites and we used great posted prints of florals with a little oriental flair in nice big mats w frames. You could do florals or nice big botanicals in greens would be very fresh and modern!! White or silver frames or maybe even the shock of black would be cool....See MoreMaster Bedroom, help??
Comments (3)Thanks for the suggestions. We have considered moving the partition wall and have asked our architect to draw sketches of the same but he's not keen on the idea! Great suggestions so far - any further ideas much appreciated!...See MoreHelp me choose a bed for guest room
Comments (30)Melissa, when I said footboard, I meant this. It has a portion of the bed that extends beyond the mattress edge. You posted a bed that had something at the foot section of the bed. By platform, I mean a bed that has a hard area and only a mattress on it. Like this. It does not extend beyond the edge of the mattress, but does not have a box spring. It is also lower to the ground. The picture you posted was a high profile bed and box spring. It was not on a typical bed frame. A standard bed frame, used with box spring and mattress looks like this. Virtually invisible and does not extend out beyond the mattress/box spring set. That being said, I'd recommend you get a headboard that is not too big for your space. Neither in height or depth (distance from the wall). I would also not get a mattress frame that extends beyond the size of the mattress. Sorry to have not been clear before....See MoreLiving Room too dark
Comments (11)Agree with alant1000 about starting from scratch, but not sure about white. They are some lovely either light grey, light green, or light caramel, which will keep the room warm feeling, and less stark. The wallpaper feature wall you presently have is far too dark for the room - if you want wallpaper, there are some lovely sparkle designs, or stick to paint and do a slightly darker colour than the chosen wall colour. Have you thought about painting the doors white? The dark curtains do not help either. Do you need curtains and vertical blinds? If you lost the curtains, the window would look neater and lighter. Hope this helps....See MoreUser

4 years agoHere is the bedroom now. It’s a guest room so I don’t need dressers. The end table I pulled from another room temporarily. The bedspread pulls out the darker blue which is closest to SW Lakeshore.

4 years agoHave you thought about wallpapering the ceiling instead of behind the bed? I think that can work really well. Put a large piece of art above the headboard instead.
Not all bedrooms, but you'll get the idea:

4 years agoI would probably paint everything white, but a white that goes well with the white from the wallpaper..For the bed, I would try to break up all that blue..it's a bit intense and makes the entire thing too dark..it might be the photo, but the dark gray with the dark blue coverlet seems a bit to dark overall. Here is an example of what I mean by breaking it up

Love your wallpaper selection. Would like to see other walls as perspective of the space is important to the whole design process. Ceiling Wall color would be stunning to accentuate the height and angles of the space. Pillows and bedding will tie it all together. New Chandelier and taller lamps for balance. Take the wallpaper sample to SW to get accurate colors as monitors and screens depict different hues that are not the actual color. Also, get samples and see the colors and different times of day. The bedding can be layered and reveal just a touch of the teal bedspread for the splash of color. Best of Luck.

4 years agoSorry for bothering you all for advice but husband said we are over budget so I needed to choose another wallpaper. I’m going with one that has some sparkle to it and not painting the ceiling blue. I’m using Pure White on ceiling and 3 walls. I’ll get a new chandelier with crystals and lamps that sparkle!

4 years agoI would disregard the small half circle window. It throws the scale off in the room; spend your$$$ on window treatments. Custom drapes that make the windows spear wider and taller! A matching fabric cornice board that raises the height of that window in keeping with the ceiling height in this room. As much as I like that wallpaper ( I have used it in the past); the scale is wrong for here. Spend your money were it will count. Beautiful wall color and linens and drapes.

The handpainted silk wallpaper, custom design and ground color, it is easy to make the room more better.
Budgets from USD980 to USD2500, more complicated design, more higher costs.

4 years agoKeep your bedding calm and elegant. It should look inviting ! Give it some thought and take your time choosing different elements; not a bed in a bag! If you must have that wallpaper use it in the bathroom.

4 years agoThe room is painted SW Pure White and it’s perfect with the wallpaper. I need end tables bc right now I have tray tables covered with a sparkly tablecloth. I found my old crystal lamps but need to change the bulbs and get new shades. Haven’t had time to switch out the ceiling fan for a crystal chandelier. Now looking for a pop of color I can use in the room. Xmas pillow lights up. Kind of fun for the room. Pictures don’t show the wall paper very well but it’s very subtle. Not sure I will keep the small chair or switch it for one that’s more substantial. Will hang art later.
Next project is the other bedroom I had them paint SW Naval. I love it.
