Cozy bedrooms start with coffee colors!

What color walls for my bedroom with black furniture and chocolate brown bedding?

I think if you like a dark color for the walls, you should do it on a smaller scale. If you do the entire room beige with your initial impulse for warm, dark colors, you might really dislike the finished room.

Choose two complementary light colors, one dark and one light. In a room like that, I'd focus on cafe au lait and then a deep, mocha brown. Choose a wall to paint that would best suit the deep color, and have that as your feature wall. All other walls can be the neutral light color.

The best painting tip I can give you for doing something like this is to paint the dark wall first. Let it completely dry, then put up painters tape around the edge so you don't have overflow from the light.

Once you have the painting done, choose bits and pieces to complement the dark color. Black frames look great on beige/chocolate walls. With a neutral room, you can choose art work that is bright and has wild colors, such as orange or red.

On your neutral rug, place a large area rug to contrast with the rest of the decor. A rug such as this funky mid brown-cream rug would really look great in a room with your colors.  I am a big believer in area rugs as a means to pull everything together.

Use your imagination and have fun!
