Here are a couple of paint colors that I’m considering for my bedroom…
Why yes, I am feeling a little bold, now that you mention it!
But not just bold…neutral. Gray is the new neutral. At least in my world.
Originally I was leaning toward a standard taupey beige. But then I saw this and this and caught the gray bug. My master bedroom is light and airy, with 2 large windows and a vaulted ceiling, so it could handle a dark color without becoming a depressing cave. Plus I have these lovely tile floors in my master bathroom with lots of gray and blue, so it will all tie together beautifully…
Gotta love my leopard slippers! No animals were harmed in the making of my slippers.
Right now I’m leaning toward #1 and #3…
#4 is way too dark, and #2 and #5 are too muddy with too much yellow.
1 = Glidden Seal Gray
2 = Martha Stewart Living Zinc
3 = Behr Pewter Ring
4 = Martha Stewart Living Magnetite
5 = Behr Suede Gray
I may still try on some other paint chips for size, plus who knows when I’ll get to this painting project, since I do have 14-foot ceilings and a case of acrophobia (fear of heights) and an empty wallet (no money to hire a less fearful painter-type).
What do you think? Would you go this bold and dark in your bedroom?
Hope you go with #1. Gray as the background color will make all other colors pop.
I’ve actually added a couple more options to my wall. I’ll try to post them this week. But #1 is still in the running…
I like them all, but am most attracted to #3, with #5 as a close second. I completely agree that gray is a sexy, bold, power neutral. Standing ovation.
Thanks for stopping by, Denise!
And yes, definitely something sexy & mysterious about a rich gray!
