Dark feature wall in bedroom

5 years ago

last modified: 5 years ago

I would like to paint a feature wall in my bedroom, behind the bedhead. I'd like it to be navy blue but I don't know if such a dark colour would be too bold for a bedroom 3.5 x 3.5m (and a 2.6m ceiling height). Any advice?

I think it would look fabulous, even the new metallic black matte would look great, you could add lighter bedding , add some gorgeous accessories, could look stunning.

Agree it would look great but do the whole room. Feature walls are dated.

I would Get inspiration from the elements in the rooM that won't be changed, like the carpet. The gunmetal grey sounds nice and gender neutral. For guests, short stays should feel friendly, and have you want to return, I would think hotel and personalize it. I would use a warm grey that will allow for many linen changes, and create a Moody atmosphere by night. BecUse the focus is either the window/ light it can afford the depth of colour. Try dulux exposed elements. If possible position the bed opposite the wardrobe so you can install a tv in it etc create An entertainment hub and still keep the window for view. Floor to ceiling sheer curtains will help the space feel bigger as you seem to have tall things on 2 walls. Good luck. ML Design

Hi abrahim007! Do you have any pictures of the space? It may help if we get an idea of the layout of the room, how enclosed/open it is etc. Also what kind of feature wall were you thinking? There are a range of types including painted, wallpapered, decals, hung items?

Hi, Love the artwork. Because they're so small, how about putting them vertically, side by side on the wall where the bookcase is. I'd either take out the bookcase, or paint it white. If space is an issue in the room, you could maybe replace the bookcase with a small ottoman/ pouf in a textured plain fabric. This gives guests a place to lay their clothes at night or to set an overnight bag. You could consider a LARGE, maybe hectagonal grey framed mirror over the bed to echo the lines in the bedding. The bedding has a lot of pattern and a mirror may be all you need. Most of all, don't rush. Take your time and enjoy the process.

wow I love all these suggestions. I was going to suggest a grasscloth wallpaper, because it has wonderful texture. But I'm quite taken with the shelves idea now.

Hi Gill

The first question I would ask is- do you like the bedroom to be dark and cavelike(which could be great if you have trouble sleeping) or would you find that depressing? Dark colours, while bold, will darken the room so think carefully about if you want a feature wall or the whole room and how the natural light works in the room at present. Plan for adding light sources like table lamps to enhance a dark scheme. Many of the examples above show light bedlinen as a point of dramatic contrast. Some examples from our projects below. Best wishes
