We painted our bedroom walls and ceiling a soft dark chocolate brown and it is the best choice we could've made. If you are not sure about painting the ceiling, do it!! It makes us happy every day, it is so much cozier and gives a different hue of brown at different times. The golden sun in the morning, the sidetable lamps with warm lights give a beautiful glow on the walls. Best choice eve!
When we bought our home, the main bedroom was school bus yellow. I got a headache whenever I walked in. We painted the bedroom Ben Moore “Hidden Sanctuary”, and the ceiling “Peace and Harmony”, leaving the trim a soft white for contrast. Ten years on, I still love the colors.
I have had pink & green bedrooms since 1979, and last summer took a notion to ‘go modern’. After purchasing several of the modern decor books on your list of favorites plus others seen in YT decor videos, I stripped down the room in September-took down almost all the art, rearranged books, cleared surfaces, etc. to create the more ‘calming’ atmosphere I thought was what I needed. And you know what? It’s boring as all get out!! Perhaps a professional would do a much better job but it didn’t accomplish what I had hoped. I found out I really miss the pink & green, so plan to incorporate a few touches of it this summer & see how things work out. Guess I’m not a ‘neutral’ person after all. I just love your videos Reynard, and am always inspired by them-keep up the good work!!
I love neutral, and I have green and pink, in my bedroom! Majority of my bedroom is white, beige, texture is the key, but I have plants, green wool throw, earthy pink pillow, and other touch of green and pink. Green and pink is natural colour, you not need too use à bright / neon pink, you can use color more natural, that help a lot too no ne too boring.
My home is a warm white called milk cloud with beige tiles. It’s a tiny coastal cottage with a white weatherboard exterior I am keeping it white. I add warmth and interest with my linen, vintage art and furniture. I just love how bright, light, airy and fresh it feels. I love colour but the space lends itself to a neutral wall colour.
As a severe & chronic migraine sufferer, the ideal colors for my house are on a subtle blue & green spectrum with taupes & light to medium wood tones. Bright colors & exposed bulbs cause migraines, dark & very light colors make them worse. My ideal style is rich & moody, but for my health, I'm also enjoying a Japandi-boho style. (I inherited a lot of dark, walnut furniture that I drape lighter cloth over to have the grounding feeling of darker, Asian wood tones & a lighter wall color. House wood is medium toned & new furniture is light & blonde.)
As a child in the first home my parents built, my sisters and I chose chartreuse in decent depth for our timber floored room and repeated this in our bedroom in the beach house. Wonderful colour greenish yellow colour.
I started with vibrant walls, teal n coral..but now switched to off white n chocolates....it looks elegant n justifies my love for coffee n chocolates.
So interesting because they should be cozy but dark woods/walls & yellow lighting make me so depressed because they bring me back to being in poverty in the house I grew up in.
Ahh yes that's pretty common. While there are “universal truths” about colours, everyone has a different response to colour based on their experiences and cultural background. So it's not a one size fits all approach.
Thanks for the video. It was really informative ❤ Can you please make a video about bedrooms that have no natural lights? Like how to lighten these kind of bedrooms, or what colors to use?
I love your videos. I wish you talked more about dark blues and colour combination that goes well with it such as blush pink, browns, yellow or natural colours.
Very informative! I have an open concept kitchen and living room. My kitchen cabinets are cool midtone grey. It looks like a "millenial grey" kitchen and we have warn (orange) wood floors. I am having trouble selecting a color palette due this. Since both of theses are high cost and fairly new, we don't want to change it but is there a color palette that can work? Our walls are all white and we aren't sure where to go from here.
I have medium gray wallpaper in my bedroom, on all 4 walls... Just looks quite bad and no idea how it could look good. The room is also quite dark and the flooring is quite dark brown... Guess I'll just go functional and get a more beautiful home once I have more money.
I have changed over the years, and one has personal history to take into account. I am currently not into dark and moody. Also the part of the country you are in factors in.
I had no idea white walls could highlight shadows in dark rooms. Now I feel more comfortable shopping for dark colors- thanks Reynard!

Your pink and green room sounds cool and sounds like more you

Very useful! I love the way you incorporate pictures to show what you mean 🙌

Exactly what I needed! Thanks! 💙Can you please add the link for " How can we choose a color scheme for our home? "

@@reynardlowell Thank you!
I love your videos. I wish you talked more about dark blues and colour combination that goes well with it such as blush pink, browns, yellow or natural colours.
Loved the video. I am struggling with which colours to put with a greige floor with warm undertones. In some lights it looks taupe.
Thank you! Eye opening lecture.
bro just loves the hotel look (subscribed)
Thanks. !!
I LOVE all the images that you use. Where do you find them? I would love to get more inspired. Can you add the sources or designer?

Off-topic, but i love the buttonless polo you’re wearing! Could you tell me where you got it? ;)
Hi
What type of Bonsai is on your background
Been looking for indoor bonsai
Ohh that's an artificial one. It's indoor and not much light there so not a great spot for real bonsai.
I have medium gray wallpaper in my bedroom, on all 4 walls... Just looks quite bad and no idea how it could look good. The room is also quite dark and the flooring is quite dark brown... Guess I'll just go functional and get a more beautiful home once I have more money.
❤❤❤
So, Reynard, do I surmise you are not a fan of colour drenching in the bedroom?
I have changed over the years, and one has personal history to take into account. I am currently not into dark and moody.
Also the part of the country you are in factors in.
Nice Video, can I talk to you?
