which I am planning to put in the alcove I have with my chest of drawers and a mirror above it. I have a deep purple duvet cover with a bright pink bit at the bottom which I love and have been told Im not allowed to change. I now want to know what colour(s) to do my walls. I was thinking soft coffee:

but now Im not sure if it is a bit dull and will look like polyfiller! I have quite a small room but am despirate for it to look grown up. Please help! Any ideas are welcome…
I was also wondering about a coffee bean brown??

Try using Sherwin Williams Color Visualizer to get an idea of what you like. Pick the bedroom that looks the most like yours. If you don’t like the coordinating colors, you can drag other colors to the boxes where it says Scene Colors.

    Purple and soft coffee? Hmm, I’m not so sure about that. With all that purple you likely should stick with something in the white/pale grey family. If you overdo it, it will look like a grape threw up in there. Actually I would not even do purple wallpaper. I’d do something neutral and put purple accessories in the room. Pillows, picture frames, candles…too much purple will overwhelm you no matter how much you like the color.

    You don’t have to go the opposite way in wall color, big change if you paint it beige, why not go for a lighter shade of purple, very light, for the walls, color on color is very grown up and sophisticated.

    Purples look great with greens; I’d choose a sage, light lime or celery shade, not minty!
