bedroom colours

Oh no!

Aldom

They are grey Spaghetti.

Thank you Aldom
Still grey.

Notspaghetti. So ooo disappointing when you have put in some thought about colour.

It would help if you told people whether or not you like, plain, pattern or stripes.

Mabon1 the OP is asking for suggestions for the colour scheme, not pattern or plain.

NotSpag they are the lovely blues and terracotta tones with a ‘setting plaster’ colour on the walls that you described.
Certainly not grey!

But with the blue/grey walls the plaster colour could be nice on the bed/curtains.

Thank you @StevenGnTech

How about something with a background of burgundy and a sprinkling of a lighter shade.

I think mustard or terracotta could be a good choice. You could have two shades maybe?

I think these are great suggestions for that room. There are so many great choices, but without knowing your budget it’s hard to know where to suggest you might look. I’m a big fan of Piglet’s cotton bedding. Not cheap but lovely to sleep in.
But Zara Home, H&M and IKEA have some lovely bright designs at keener prices. I think it can be difficult to imagine what bedding is going to look like in my own bedrooms. I often just order/buy one pillow case from a few different designs and try them out at home. Then return the ones that you don’t want. But do look carefully at the returns policy. Many retailers no longer accept returns on bedding if the packaging has been opened. I was surprised to see this recently when I was buying bedding.

Pink and orange would go well with grey, or pink and mustard.

Thank you for a happy hour researching beautiful colours!

I'm back with your bluey-grey with terracotta and "plaster pink"...
I think I'd go that way.
Calming but alive!

What is this love for grey? We went to choose vinyl floor for the bathrooms - you could have everything as long as it was grey. We did manage to get some white but even that had some slight grey in it. It does look nice though!

mrsmeldrew the OP said she had blue/grey walls so wanted colours to go with that.

Here are some other colour-ways

And two more with a terracotta feel...

And two yellowy ones - one pales and a bit citrus and one on the mustard side which was my original idea ....

And then an outlier with pink and green. This photo doesn't have much grey but I think it would work.

I love lovely fresh lemony floral with a bluey grey for a spring look.

I think a peachy/orangey colour would go well with grey/blue walls. Or if a muted fabric colour is chosen, then a bright citrus-coloured throw to lay at the bottom of the bed perhaps.

Would be interested to know what you decide susytish!

I would go for yellow but not a lemon, more of a sunshine yellow, paler or darker as you like. This would look good against the greyish blue, brightening the room without making it too garish. It would slightly warm the look of the room as the blue is a cold colour. in the summer the blue will be cooling but in the winter I think the yellow would just make it look a little warmer.

Also have light greyish blue walls. Just got these lovely burnt orange Orla Kierly curtains from John Lewis.

It seems this is a thread where the OP asked a question, got lots or replies but didn't bother to come back.....

Several years ago we painted our bedroom in Bumblebee, which was a lovely golden yellow. The room has windows on the side and front so gets the sun nearly all day. It was a lovely cheerful sunny colour.

Since your walls are light greyish blue, you could go for soft neutrals like white, cream, or light taupe for a calm look, or add contrast with navy, deep teal,or mustard for a stylish pop. Floral or geometric patterns could add interest without overwhelming the space. Do you prefer a cozy or a more elegant feel?
