What color blue for bedroom? (PIP)

I want to paint my bedroom blue.  I can't decide on a shade at all (still considering a dusty navy all the way to a pale, pale gray-blue).  Below is the other duvet cover that we use as well.  I do know that I'd like to use green accents (seen in the pottery and soon to come shams).  And I'm curious if you think we should keep the chair rail and wall below white.  The changes that will be made to this room is the Xmas decor will be removed, the wood panels are going to be painted distressed white (unless you have a better color suggestion) and the small table in the bottom right is replaced with a white fireplace.

I have looked through the D&R paint bio and like some of the blues, but I'm just having such a hard time narrowing down the category of blue I want (dark, mid, light).

  • DO NOT CHANGE IT! haha, i think your bedroom looks HOT just the way it is!

     

    BUT....if you must...i'd go with a "slatey" blue.... something lighter, a tint of grey

  • OH MY GOODNESS....I love the blue bedding with flowers....where did you get it?

     

     

    Sorry, I have no suggestions for you as I love it the way it is....at first I thought that was a pic of your bedding out of a catalog and you were showing us the bedding and wanting to know suggestions for the wall color :-p  I love it!

    It is Augustine bedding from Crate and Barrel.  They don't carry it anymore, but you might be able to find it on Ebay or somewhere via Google.

  • I. love. your. bedroom. It looks like something out of a magazine!  As much as I like it as is though I can picture the blue looking nice as well. I would go with a greyish blue. I think it's a great understated color that would coordinate with the brighter green nicely. If you do that color though I would keep the wood panels bright white and not a distressed white to avoid making the room look too "old" if that makes sense

  • i love it how it is!

    i also have a white fireplace in my bedroom, and LOVE it!

  • EA--are you guys still trying to sell your home?  Are you painting because your realtor thinks its what more buyers would want?  If that's the case, then I agree with the other ladies, that a paler, more slatey blue would probably appeal to the most number of prospective buyers.  If you are just painting because you want a change, then I think you could do it whichever one you naturally gravitate towards.  The good thing is that its just paint, so if you don't love it, you can always try again!

    And I'll add that I LOVE it as is right now too.  :)

    It is no longer on the market.  The house we were hoping to buy ended up getting rented out and is no longer available.  So since we don't need to move, we are just going to stay put for a while longer.  But that means that we could paint since we don't have showings anymore!

    I'm actually more on the fence now than I was when I posted.  I think I might try to paint the wooden panels and see if I like the room better after that.  

  • We used Lighthouse Shadows by Valspar in our BR and love it.  It's a mid slate blue.  Of course you'd want to get a sample to see how it looks in your room before going all out.  I do think the green looks great too though!
  • LOVE your bedroom. It looks fantastic just the way you have it!
