Reader’s question

"I want to change my bedroom. I have a dark brown leather bed and two dark wooden nightstands. I also have a breakfast trolley and a mirror with wooden frame. Which color should I paint the walls, dark gray or dark blue?"

Our recommendation
Brown color is a versatile option as it can be combined with many different colors. However brown and blue combination is one of the most traditional, timeless combinations. Brown furniture and blue walls create a striking look in any room, especially in the bedroom. Almost all shades of blue blend with brown, but it is important to get a balance between the two colors, so a pleasant feeling in the space can be raised.

We propose two shades of blue, one light and one darker: air force blue with purple hints and navy blue. The color choice depends on the size of the room. Dark blue color can be accented with decorative elements of the room in brighter shades.
