What color of paint goes with dark brown mid-century bedroom set?

sanjosemom

I would like to paint my bedroom and I have a bedroom set of 1950's modern dark brown wood. What paint colors would look good with this? And, my bedroom has some funky windows what are kinda of off center one...which is long and thin is placed right next to the closet and the second is placed off center in the wall that faces the bedroom door...Should I look for drapes that match the paint color or do I look for ones that have some of the bedding colors, also do you have any ideas on bedding colors. Thank you in advance for your help.

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think "really teal" (# 6489) would be pretty with the dark brown. And then buy bedding & drapes in taupe or tan.

You can also take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

You can get color suggestions & for $5 they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.

well i want a 1950 themed bedroom do u hav any ideas of things i can decorate it with

Answer
Atomic clocks or a Felix the Cat wall clock, princess phone. You could maybe do a 50's rock n' roll theme, get some posters of 50's singers and groups and some cut outs of records for the walls. Hit all of the second hand stores and antique shops around for vintage books and decor to fill your room with. Find some soft floral printed wall paper, colors like apple green and baby pink were popular too.
