I was also sent some images of my room with the wall photoshopped in different colours (thank you!).
The only thing stopping me for at least giving it a try is the amount of coats it will need if I decide to revert back to white if I change my mind.

Bedroom wall
Have I told you lately how much I love you? When I was trying to decide whether to paint my bedroom wall a dark colour to compliment my new quilt I received mixed responses and also some suggestions. Here's a few:

I love photoshop and often do it to help me make decisions around the house! Seeing the photoshopped photos, I think the black/dark gray would be gorgeous! It'll make your silver tables come aliveeee...
ReplyDeleteAside from the green and purple I love all of them! I think my very favorite is the top right. Maybe with some darker sheets as well...
ReplyDeletego for the black!
ReplyDeleteI painted my bedroom wall black almost a year ago now. I have a painted white Indian screen as a bedhead. And it still thrills me every day. Go for it :)
ReplyDeleteLove the black wall - your blog has inspired me!
ReplyDeleteLove the black wall! Black is my favourite colour. We just bought a new house ad i cant wait to add a black wall in the study area.
ReplyDeleteI must have missed your beadspread post - wow I love it! I really like the very dark wall, or the plum/mauve colour in the last mockup. I'm not so keen on the neutrals, maybe because that's what I have and a can't wait to paint it! Even a dark charcoal would look fantastic :)
ReplyDeleteThe black without a doubt looks the most effective. Take the risk!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the black! It's stunning. When I read your original post, I wasn't sure about it, but now that I see it - it looks amazing! I say go for it!!!
ReplyDeleteBlack! Black! Black!!
ReplyDeleteI do like the black, but how would it balance with the other white walls in the room?
ReplyDeleteLove the black! Also love the bottom middle (grey/blue). If you do decide to paint it back, one coat of grey undercoat followed by 2 coats of white might be enough. Do it!
ReplyDeleteI say: DO IT!!!! It looks great on that photoshop picture!
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Moore Aura in Deep Space for that dark charcoal look. I went from white to charcoal in one coat! ONE COAT! :)
ReplyDeleteJust follow their painting instructions and don't paint over areas you've already painted over - since it'll pick the paint back up. Happy painting!

The wall behind our bed is charcoal grey, and I LOVE it. It is dark and sexy, and our bed (tufted ivory leather headboard) looks amazing against it. I say go for it if you really want to do it.
ReplyDeleteMerci!

I love that bedspread...it's so pretty. I vote for the dark charcoal colour wall. The black might be too harsh, and if you don't like the charcoal, you have a great primer already on for a nice thick coat of black! Can't wait to see what you decide!
ReplyDeletei love the dark, too. maybe not black-black, but a dark charcoal, like others have suggested. love how it makes everything - the bed, the tables, the lamps, the floor - stand out.
ReplyDeleteThe black for sure - looks very sophisticated.

definitely BLACK! so glam.
ReplyDeleteVIV!! You should LOVE your photoshop helper...visuals always close a deal for me...go with the black!! The combination looks amazing in the photo!! Good luck!

with the mock-ups, I actually like the dark color! I vote an almost-black charcoal as well.
ReplyDeleteI painted a dark color back to white recently and it only took 2 coats but the edges where the hardest part!
Good Luck!
We have charcoal grey behind our bed too. It's wonderful & i love it. The rest of a room is a lighter grey.
ReplyDeleteHowever I like the idea of a black wall even more. If you want to go black then i think you should go black, don't compromise with yourself. Good luck!
(you're welcome!!)
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to see them posted! Would you consider using a black wallpaper so that you don't need to paint the wall and in the case of changing your mind just remove it?
