Help with guestroom/office

So I have to make the office into a second guest room for my friend coming in November.  It's not really a full office because I only have a small desk and the desktop in there which I never really use anyway so I will be adding a twin bed, nightstand, and small dresser.  These will all be black furniture.  I've decided on grey and yellow as my main colors.  I'm just trying to decide if I should paint the walls grey and have yellow bedding or vice versa.  Here is the bedding I've picked.

The room doesn't have much light so either paint color would be a light version to keep it from making it look smaller and darker.

Re: Help with guestroom/office

  • I'm not a fan of yellow walls or the yellow bedding. What I would suggest is a light grey on the walls, then the grey bedding but accept with yellow pillows and yellow objects around the room.

    That would look great!

  • I was leaning more towards grey on the walls because then I could change it up anytime and it would be easy to find something to go with it.  I really like the grey bedding too.  I never really thought of doing it that way.

  • I agree with Kristen.  That way you can do more outrageous shades of yellow to really make it pop.

  • You could even do accents of some black but mostly yellow. I think it will look good with the black furniture!

  • I like how you ladies think.  I love yellow but right now I'm in a fall mood and yellow is too "springy" for me so if I do it in small doses I think it will work better or some blues and greens in jewel tones.

  • I think a mustard yellow is not a spring color, at least to me.

  • I love Kristin's idea.  And then if you ever get "tired" of the yellow pillows, that's easy to change and another color would always work with what you have.

  • Oh I like the mustard yellow Mel posted...definitely not too springy but still bright enough to lighten the room!
