Wardrobes to match wall colour?

4 months ago

I’m contemplating decorating the guest bedroom. I have cream curtains which l will keep and l do want a cream carpet.

My dilemma is the wall colour against the wardrobe fascias. I would like dark green walls (which would contrast nice against the cream curtains and carpet) but the wardrobe fascias also need updating and I’m unsure whether to match the dark green walls or whether it’ll be too much and if a cream would blend better.

I’ve added a couple of images which show the shade of green for the walls and also the design of wardrobe fascias.

Any thoughts?

I think it depends on your natural light and the size of the room. I am a big fan of painting wardrobes the same colour as the wall as they then "disappear". Could you paint a door in each colour against the wall and see which you prefer first? It's quite a job to change it later if you don't like your choice. I think the green would look great.

I would also go with the lovely green. I think cream wardrobes would chop the room up. If it was simply another empty wall without wardrobes you wouldn’t think twice about painting it green.

What colours would match this sketch?

Take the sketch to a paint store and try a bunch of color cards. Take the best ones home to see how they look in the light of your home. Then just pick the one you like the best. No it doesn't have to be some shade of yellow/mustard. It could be a complementary color.

Paint over or rip out the fitted wardrobe?

My first instinct was to move it to a garage/basement for good storage but the more I think about it the more I think I'd prime inside and out with Kilz then apply a couple of coats of white semi-gloss (use good quality paint.. Benjamin Moore) in the same white that you'd use for all the trim in your room. Be sure to lightly sand and 'tack rag' between coats. If the handles are removable by all means remove them prior to painting...fill in holes, sand smooth and paint as previous sentence. Set up inside the way you find most functional. Buy nice new knobs ( maybe crystal?) and, if it is as tall as it appears, have crown molding installed to create a custom look. It is probably far better built than anything else you could find.

I had wardrobes in wood finish They looked so dark So I could not cope with BLACK.! I would sand and paint the wardrobe white and the walls. The bed you could make pull down covers for top and end . (Make them like an open bag so you can wash them .But a devan bed would give open space look).. materal of the same colour as the curtains. Padding them or just covering. Make the spread the same colour. For day time. That should lift the darkness from the room. You can have a blackout blind for night if you want to keep the colours light. My room looked a treet much brighter. and I sleep better now. .OliveH

I agree with Isla Cherry and 163 hrd. You don't really want to make a feature of your wardrobes; having them the same colour as your wall will help make them blend.

You already have a cram carpet and cream curtain; add the colour through beddings, cushions and artwork.

Why not paint the existing wardrobes and since you are in the biz replace them later if you don’t like them.

@Jonathan. Painting the existing wardrobes isn’t an option. They’ve been in for 30 years so are very dated. I’d like the design different. Currently they have the dressing table design in the middle which I’d like to dispense with and just have a continual flow of doors and any drawers hidden behind the front doors.

I’ve taken note of the comment that if it was an empty wall it wouldn’t be a different colour so green all round l think is the way we will go. It’s a guest bedroom not the main bedroom but it could be my occasional bedroom on hubby’s snoring nights 🤣
