Lavender wall colour for bedroom? What colour furniture?
Hi Aish,



If you are going for lavender walls, then you need to decide whether you want 1)light, airy , sophisticated interiors or 2) a girly interior flushed with purples.



If you are going for 1), then you can never go wrong with whites, blacks and greys in your room! white cupboards if possible, grey/silver cot with pink/puple/blue bedcover and light blue/grey cushions and pillows would be great. go for curtains that match. and remember to add lots of whites and blacks in your room!



However, if you decide against white, you can always go for tan colored furniture and tan colored study table.



If you want to go for the girly look, you can have deep purple bedcovers with light purple cushions, a carpet with shades of pinks, purples, blues, girly multi colored curtains, etc!



basically, remember that lavender goes great with tan, black white, purples and light pinks and even pale blue.



ofcourse, remember that whatever you choose depends also on your floor color.



stick to your budget and good luck!
Reply:If u want to keep things simple, get light coloured(cream) wood furniture.



If u want to make it funky, u can get light yellow, light green or lime green coloured furniture.



u could also get ideas from the colour of the existing curtains and the carpet.
Reply:I did my stepdaughters room with lavender walls and white furniture. But I changed it up on one wall and painted a plaid using blue, green, yellow and purple different size stripes and lines. She loves it! Then with the bedding I went to the clearance section at linens and things and bought mix and match sheets and pillowcases in these colors, even found some cool acrylic knobs in these colors to change out the drab white ones on her dresser.
Reply:I think white would be a great color to go with lavender. It would be calming. You should also add some greenery. http://www.qualitysilks.com or http://www.newprocontainers.com
Reply:My daughters room is lavender and her furniture is white. It looks good together, but I think a dark cherry would look better.

Reply:I would think of a white or a beige color furniture to off set the lavender.
Reply:For

- a clean, resorty feel, go for White furniture

- white-framed watercolour prints of pastelly shades



- cosy contemporary, go for Dark Red or Dark Brown (eg. Walnut) furniture

- mahogany-framed blowups of pictures of brightly coloured subjects against dark background



- bright, fun and cheery, go for a Light Yellow (eg. Beech) furniture
Reply:I think white furniture, or a very light wood would look the best with lavender.
Reply:light brown accents or wood accents are beautiful
