How can I choose a color to paint my room?
I'm a teenager but I have a sophisticated taste. I don't want any neon colors and I don't want black. My furniture has dark wood and my room is kind of small. I have a lot of natural light (1 large wide window & 1 small window).
I was thinking of painting it an antique pink color but have a a feeling that's going to get to girly for me in about week.
My room is lavender right now and I've gotten VERY tired of it. I like the color indigo but do you think that will be too dark?
Also, if you could think of colors I could use as accents (curtains, bedspread, etc.) for my room that would be great too. :]
Choosing a paint color is difficult. Sometimes I think there are too many choices and the process of taping samples to the wall and looking at during different times of day and light can take a long time and leave one with more uncertainty than answers.
If you like indigo and antique pink, I say use them. Indigo is a beautiful color, but probably too dark for the whole room to be painted solid. You don't have to paint the whole wall though, or all walls the same color. You could paint an accent wall or only paint part way up the wall and paint the top 2/3 (This is known as chair-rail height) a lighter color. Then install some molding or a wallpaper border horizontally over the place where the two colors meet.
I recommend looking to some faux painting techniques and don't forget the various sheens of paint and utilize texture as well. For example I have seen a very pretty treatment using color blocks (like a checkerboard using "flat" for one square and "gloss" for the adjacent) Stripes can also be taped out, and they need not be equal widths. Maybe you could paint wide verticle pink stripes with a narrow indigo stripe seperating them.
Some other techniques are sponge painting, stenciling, rag-on, rag-off, combing, and marbeling.
