Help with trim color in bedroom (yellow walls/antique black furniture/oak floors)
l recently purchased a new bedroom set (an antique black color) and am
trying to redo the room before it arrives.I am hoping to paint the walls a
buttery yellow color, and l have oak colored hardwood floors.My question is
what color would you recommend painting all of the trim (fairly wide trim
along the floors, around all windows, doors, and the hope is for crown
molding eventually)??We usually like the starkness of white trim, however
it seems as if it would be rather jarring against the black furniture.Any assistance you can offer would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I had a similar problem in my living room. We went with white
and I love it. It is so crisp and clean.
It seems the black furniture will contrast beautifully with the
combination of yellow, white, and oak. It sounds very fresh and colonial,
or cottage, to me.
sounds really classy. So going with a buttery cream lighter
than walls would be a safe choice..but. a real statement can be made, if
you dare to use the colour red, maybe a crimsom or cranberry.
They say you really can not go wrong with color. It depends
what you want the room to look like. If you want subdued & elegant stay in
the same grouping of colors, almost monochromatic with different variances
of yellow, golds, oranges, creams & browns (trim & accessorize in keeping
with this pallette). If you want the room to still look classy but be
striking & somewhat edgy, take ur main color ''buttery yellow'' & strike
to the exact OPPOSITE on the color wheel. which is a rich, dark violet color. This is called a complimentary colour composition ie: two colors that are completely opposite from each other & a 3rd (probably in the decor somewhere) to soften the contrast & bring the room together.
That sounds beautiful. You might try this: Take the least
dominant color in your comforter or bedspread (I am assuming it isn't a
neutral and that it has more than one color in it.) Paint the trim in this
shade, or a shade or two lighter than this shade. If your comforter is one
shade, you might try painting the trim in the shade of the comforter.
Good luck.
White may be a bit too much but it all depends on what kind of
statement you want to make. It could look very nice. If I were you I
would go with a softer color. Yellow & oak are both soft & warm, the
black furniture makes it pop from within, I would do a cream color trim.
Not white but off white which will not take away from the furniture or
compete with it but still make a statement & blend in nicely. Textured
crown molding is a really nice idea too, something with like a tooth trim would also add character to the room rather than just the plain smooth trim. Good luck.
Hello, I think a pretty light mocha, almond ( brown family)
would be great with the Oak flooring & antique black furniture. Yellows &
brown go really nice together. I would stay away from white also! I have
my bathroom painted a pretty light yellow & my cabinets in the bathroom
are a distressed dark oak! It looks amazing! I hope this helped some. I
think ur bedroom is going to look beautifull There is also a virtual
website you can go to & put colors you like on a bedroom wall to see what it would look like.I LOVE playing wiith it. I will attach the links below . Good Luck, & Take Care :) http://sherlink.sherwin.com/swapp/color_visualizer/
A shade of cream-yellow lighter than the wall but still yellow.
Or if you really want rustic and cozy, a warm buttery tan slightly darker
than the wall. But I think that'd only work if your rooms and windows are
really outsized.
You might also consider using different intensity colors of butter yellow
for different walls / different rooms; that'd make the cream-yellow trim even less strikingly light.
you dont want your eyes to be all on the trim,
more of the furniture.
so id go with a color that about half way lighter than your furniter
Go with the white. My bedroom is similar colors and I was
worried about the same thing but we painted the trim white and I love it.
I like white but a mustard maybe. go get some colorcodes from
the paint store and go thru them.
I say go a couple of shades darker than the color of your
walls, it won't be too busy by adding another color like white and it
won't clash with the walls and furniture. Just go off the same pallette
that you got your paint from.
light purple..... or light green
a dark chocolate color sounds like it would go well with your
other colors
reddish cherry color
Same shade as the furniture.
