Bedroom Suite Foyer Paint Colors

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 condominium days. It’s what I used within the hallway lavatory within the condominium.

It’s the colour that I used on the bookcases and doorways in the back of the music room…

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

It’s additionally the colour that’s at present 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 colour, and the Tsunami is a bit bluer.

I tacked up the grasscloth wallpaper within the lobby, regardless that the grasscloth received’t truly be in right here. And when it’s put in within the bed room, it is going to 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) shall be separated by that little hallway which shall be all Polar Bear from flooring to ceiling, together with the ceiling in that hallway space. However it helps to have the wallpaper shut when selecting a paint colour.

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

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

Listed below are all three of the colours collectively. On the wall, it’s onerous 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 believe 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’ll get some pure mild as soon as that’s re-installed. From this angle, you may actually see how uninteresting and inexperienced the Mythic Forest doorways look with the wallpaper.

I even have to contemplate that that the closet colour shall be clearly seen from the lobby. All three — the lobby colour, the closet colour, and the grasscloth wallpaper within the bed room — shall 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 colour 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 suitable) 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 carried out, I believe it’ll be attractive. In fact, the lavatory doorways (which I’ve resolve will keep there as a result of that room will ultimately be the storage closet) shall be painted Polar Bear, and the entire trim shall be Polar Bear. Plus, it’ll have some pure mild. And the wall the place the grasscloth is tacked up proper now could have a full-length mirror with a gold body.

I’m undecided but what I plan to do concerning 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 probably even be centered, or if that may put it too near the HVAC consumption duct. If it will probably’t be centered, I’m undecided 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 course I’m heading. I believe Ocean Abyss is the winner for the lobby, the lavatory doorways shall be Polar Bear, and the closet shall be Clear Vista (on the left). And the Clear Vista works fantastically with the lighter blues within the headboard material, which shall 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 colour in a foremost space of the home. However contemplating that that is an entrance right into a main bedroom suite, I believe it’ll be attractive.

The A2D Day by day:

UPDATE: That is what the colours appear like with the overhead mild turned off in the course of the day, and with solely pure mild coming in from the neighboring rooms. These are straight from my cellphone, 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 may see all types of brush strokes. These partitions are going to wish a variety of work earlier than I can truly paint them. So disregard the entire strains and brush strokes.
