Could you please suggest a color(s) that I can paint my bed and dressers that go with my black, gray and white bedroom. The walls are gray. Most of my picture decor are black and white picture. I am hoping you could give me several colors to choose from. My frames on the walls are black and pictures are gray and white and some black.

Thank you.

    Seems to me that you need some color in you bedroom. Of course you could paint them black, but red would be more fun. Then you could get some red pillows, throw, and a red thing for your wall.

    You could go almost anywhere with a your monochromatic background of black, gray, and white. Not sure what style your bed and dresser are but here are some thoughts: Paint the sides, top, and drawers of the dresser black and paint the face frame in your accent color (i.e. red) and just the littlest part of the bed red. Because of the little pops of red it would really stand out. You could also accent with red throw or small pillow on bed. The same would work for nearly any accent color but the more saturated the color the more dramatic the result. Also think about, for example, a single red rose in a crystal vase on the dresser.

    If you want to stay with the more monotone "calm" clean look; stick with the blue family. A deep navy blue (not too bright) or a soft blue or lavendar. For a more rich look; try burgundy or deep red. For something modern try a pop of color like bright pink or turquoise.

    Painting colors are very personal. I would recommend picking up several different color paint chips and bring them in your home for color inspiration. Once you think you have something in mind,purchase color sample and test them out with you lighting in the morning,afternoon and night time. Honestly no on should give you that answer

  • do you wear only black, grey and white? I would use your wardrobe choices help steer you to a color accent you will love. You can go with almost any color for a pop at this point.

    A Chinese Red would be amazing.....

  • it depends on your fav color! Any bright would look amazing. Teal, hot pink or fire engine red!

    Wow, my favorite combo with black and white is red. There are so many different shades of red that work. Hope this helps.

    I would paint the dresser and bed white because it will lighten up the room a little. Then I would add a surprise pop of color with a throw pillow or two on the bed in a bright yellow or orange or a fabric with black and/or white plus a bright color. Have fun!

    There are so many colors you could choose to add a pop of color, such as teal, lime, yellow, cobalt blue. You could try draping your dresser with a piece of fabric in your color choice and see how you like it
