Redecorating my room?!?
So, since I'm about to turn 15 my parents have decided to let me redo my room from its 5 year old fairy room.
I think I want to do a purple, black and white theme. I think you would call it a shabby chic theme.
My biggest question is whether or not I should paint one wall black and all the others a kind of brightish purple: kind of like this: http://www.cool-kids-rooms.com/Meaning-of-colors.html (it's the 3rd picture going down.)
The black wall would be chalkboard paint. And if I didn't paint all the others one shade of purple, should I do the bright shade of purple and a grayish purple? And what about the ceiling? Also, my mother is an artist so she has offered to paint a mural of something on one of my walls. I really want it to be of a cherry blossom tree. Where do you think it should go and what color to use?
Some names of the paint brand and the name of the paint color would be great!
Finally, if you have any suggestions on how to decorate, that would be awesome!
Thankyou!
Careful with the dark colors or your room will end up looking like a cave! Bet you don't want that. Your color scheme is good. I'm seeing shabby chic white furniture with a couple of stunning black pieces like a chair of some kind and one or more bedside tables. The white furniture has a satin finish and the black ones are acrylic or something shiny so the light bounces off it.I like your idea of painting the walls shades of purple. You choose what shades you like, but buy samples first and try them out to see what you really think. For the accent wall, I recommend painting the bottom third one shade of purple, the middle third chalk board black and the top third another shade of purple and have your mother do her mural primarily on that upper third with some part of the mural trailing down through the black and lower purple. You choose the theme. Paint the ceiling the barest hint of purple and install white crown molding to pull your room together. What can you do with the floor? Ideally, you'd be able to have wood floors, but if that is just out of the question install some neutral medium gray carpet. Have a zebra accent rug in a suitable spot on the floor. Use grays, blacks, and purples in your bedding and accessories. Wow! Your room is sophisticated and beautiful.
