Paint colour for a sloping bedroom ceiling

4 years ago

I'm redecorating a spare bedroom. The walls are going to be painted in F and B wevet. The sloping ceiling is white at the moment. Should I leave it white or use the wevet on the ceiling as well?

Definitely Wevet on the ceiling as well. Doing this means you don't see the 'join' of the roof and walls and makes the room feel much bigger. We did this with my mum's 300 year old cottage bedrooms in New White. It looked gorgeous.

Your window is a main accent. And you need to make a start from its. I recommend you to do the follow: - open your window as much as possible. This will make the room larger; - decorate the window by asymmetrical or direct curtain (examples are below), starting right from the ceiling. It is best to use a solid color textile; - if your cabinet is not particularly necessary, I would have replaced it on the floor lamp; - on the other side, you can fold the high stack of books and use them as a decorative stand; - make a picture in passe-partout with glass and dark gray baguette frame. Add to it a vertical series of small monochrome photographs (eg sepia), and also complete passe-partout in pastel tones; - fur pillows should be replaced by textile pillows with dark gray graphic pattern; - it will be better the other pictures on the walls to remove

Adding width BEHIND THE BED - with a headboard (which doesn't have to be a "headboard"; it could be fabric, collection of mirrors, collection of pictures, a farm gate!, small chairs or stools) across the entire width. Matching bedside tables/bookcases/chests/ with LAMPS - useful storage for extra books, extra bedding, etc. CURTAINS always warm up a room. People will always feel colder away from home - provide an extra blanket or duvet to add to the bed. I notice there is no WARDROBE. Not really necessary for overnight guests (provide hooks on the back of the door) but useful for storing your out-of-season coats, etc. There is plenty of room behind the door. Buy one on eBay and paint it to suit your colour scheme.

My 8 year old daughter's bedroom

Comments (0)
I am doing up my 8 year old daughter's bedroom, she has totally gone off the princess/pink theme and wants grey tones instead - her taste would be older than a typical 8 year old. She has a large room approx 14' x 14'. On one of these walls she has built in wardrobes, ivory colour (which will be staying). I am lifting her carpet and putting walnut colour laminate flooring (her choice), i have got her a white double bed from Ikea as well as 2 white lockers. So it is well on it's way but I am stuck as to what colour to put with the grey. I haven't yet chosen a grey colour which she wants on her back wall (The headboard of the bed will be on this wall and bed coming into the middle of the room) so any grey colour recommendations I would appreciate. Also can you recommend any other colour to paint the other 3 walls (one of which has a large window on it) other than white which is what i've been thinking but think it may look too cold. Also i am open to painting the ceiling in a different colour other than white but looking for advice. She has fuschia pink curtains at the moment which I think I will have to change but haven't decided on this either or may change to Roman blinds. Grey and blush pink accessories is what I am thinking but finding it hard to source Blush pink curtains so should I bring another colour in to the room to compliment these colour. I would love your feedback, thank you in advance.

Ammonite is from the Yellow Hue Family and Down Pipe from the Blue-Green Hue Family. The two colours could work very well together as a Diad harmony. Note though, that Ammonite is a changeling of a colour. In a balanced quality of light it appears to most people as a near neutral grey colour. In imbalanced light it may have moments of greenness and possibly even hint a blue-ish cast. This doesn’t happen in every situation. Test in your space at the angle it will be viewed, just so you know how it’s likely to render in your son’s space. You may like it in all potential moods, but you don’t want surprises. A other alternative to consider with Down Pipe is Borrowed Light. It is very close in Value (lightness/darkness) to Ammonite but is from the Blue-Green Hue Family, like Down Pipe.
