Bed room Suite Lobby Paint Colours

Anyway, after he left yesterday night, I examined out the paint samples that I bought for the bed room suite lobby. I had beforehand thought that I’d simply use the identical teal that I’ve already utilized in the home, which is Behr Mythic Forest. It’s been a long-time favourite of mine, going all the way in which again to our rental days. It’s what I used within the hallway lavatory within the rental.

It’s the colour that I used on the bookcases and doorways behind the music room…

And it’s the colour of the cupboards in our pantry…

It’s additionally the colour that’s at the moment on the hallway lavatory doorways, however you’re about to see why I wanted a brand new teal for the bed room suite lobby. So I picked up two new colours — Ocean Abyss and Tsunami.

The Ocean Abyss is a bit deeper in coloration, and the Tsunami is a bit bluer.

I tacked up the grasscloth wallpaper within the lobby, though the grasscloth gained’t truly be in right here. And when it’s put in within the bed room, it will likely be on the highest portion of the partitions with creamy white (Polar Bear) wainscoting on the underside. The lightest stripe within the hallway is painted Polar Bear. Additionally, the 2 areas (lobby and bed room) will probably be separated by that little hallway which will probably be all Polar Bear from ground to ceiling, together with the ceiling in that hallway space. Nevertheless it helps to have the wallpaper shut when selecting a paint coloration.

I put Ocean Abyss on the left of the lavatory doorways. And once more, the lavatory doorways are Mythic Forest. You may see how the Mythic Forest doorways are a lot grayer in coloration, and the Mythic Forest additionally has a bit extra inexperienced in it. It doesn’t go nicely with the grasscloth wallpaper in any respect, which is why I wished to select a teal with much less grey and extra depth of coloration to it.

After which I put Tsunami to the precise of the doorways. Despite the fact that it’s a darker coloration than the Mythic Forest doorways, you possibly can see that the colour is extra vibrant.

Listed below are all three of the colours collectively. On the wall, it’s arduous to inform an enormous distinction between Ocean Abyss and Tsunami, though Tsunami does seem to have extra blue in it, whereas Ocean Abyss appears to have a contact extra grey. However nonetheless, there’s not an enormous distinction.

Right here’s one other angle. This lobby goes to be deep, darkish, and moody, which I like as an entrance to a bed room suite. No less than, I feel I do. 😀 It doesn’t have any pure mild in it proper now, however I do nonetheless plan so as to add the photo voltaic tube again on this lobby. So it would get some pure mild as soon as that’s re-installed. From this angle, you possibly can actually see how boring and inexperienced the Mythic Forest doorways look with the wallpaper.

I even have to think about that that the closet coloration will probably be clearly seen from the lobby. All three — the lobby coloration, the closet coloration, and the grasscloth wallpaper within the bed room — will probably be seen collectively.

The present striped partitions within the bed room are so distracting when making an attempt to visualise these colours collectively.

So I edited the photograph above to cowl up all of that mess so it wouldn’t be as distracting. Right here’s the wallpaper, Ocean Abyss, and Clear Vista (the closet coloration choice that’s on the left within the closet).

After which right here’s the wallpaper and Ocean Abyss with Tahoe Blue (the colour on the precise) within the closet.

I’m leaning in the direction of Clear Vista for the closet. And I actually like Ocean Abyss for the lobby.

It’ll be darkish, however as soon as it’s all finished, I feel it’ll be attractive. After all, the lavatory doorways (which I’ve resolve will keep there as a result of that room will ultimately be the storage closet) will probably be painted Polar Bear, and the entire trim will probably be Polar Bear. Plus, it would have some pure mild. And the wall the place the grasscloth is tacked up proper now may have a full-length mirror with a gold body.

I’m unsure but what I plan to do in regards to the ceiling mild. It’s not centered within the lobby, and that drives me a bonkers proper now. I haven’t measured to see if it will possibly even be centered, or if that can put it too near the HVAC consumption duct. If it will possibly’t be centered, I’m unsure what I’m going to do, as a result of it merely can’t keep the place it’s proper now.

Anyway, you actually have to make use of your creativeness to see previous the entire distractions proper now, however that’s the path I’m heading. I feel Ocean Abyss is the winner for the lobby, the lavatory doorways will probably be Polar Bear, and the closet will probably be Clear Vista (on the left). And the Clear Vista works fantastically with the lighter blues within the headboard material, which will probably be seen on the far wall of the bed room. It’ll be proper the place that large lighter teal stripe is on the wall within the bed room.

I don’t know that I’d do such a moody, darkish coloration in a important space of the home. However contemplating that that is an entrance right into a master suite suite, I feel it’ll be attractive.

The A2D Each day:

UPDATE: That is what the colours appear to be with the overhead mild turned off throughout the day, and with solely pure mild coming in from the neighboring rooms. These are straight from my telephone, so I didn’t edit them in any respect. The realm actually does get fairly a bit of sunshine from the opposite rooms.

I painted these samples with a brush, so you possibly can see all types of brush strokes. These partitions are going to wish loads of work earlier than I can truly paint them. So disregard the entire strains and brush strokes.
