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 best way again to our condominium days. It’s what I used within the hallway rest room 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 rest room 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 gained’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) will likely be separated by that little hallway which will likely be all Polar Bear from ground 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 toilet doorways. And once more, the toilet doorways are Mythic Forest. You possibly can 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 effectively with the grasscloth wallpaper in any respect, which is why I needed to pick a teal with much less grey and extra depth of colour to it.

After which I put Tsunami to the suitable of the doorways. Although 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 laborious 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. At the very least, I believe I do. 😀 It doesn’t have any pure gentle 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 gentle as soon as that’s re-installed. From this angle, you may actually see how boring and inexperienced the Mythic Forest doorways look with the wallpaper.

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

The present striped partitions within the bed room are so distracting when attempting 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 possibility 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 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 achieved, I believe it’ll be beautiful. In fact, the toilet doorways (which I’ve determine will keep there as a result of that room will ultimately be the storage closet) will likely be painted Polar Bear, and the entire trim will likely be Polar Bear. Plus, it would have some pure gentle. And the wall the place the grasscloth is tacked up proper now can have a full-length mirror with a gold body.

I’m undecided but what I plan to do in regards to the ceiling gentle. It’s not centered within the lobby, and that drives me a bonkers proper now. I haven’t measured to see if it might even be centered, or if that may put it too near the HVAC consumption duct. If it might’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 route I’m heading. I believe Ocean Abyss is the winner for the lobby, the toilet doorways will likely be Polar Bear, and the closet will likely be Clear Vista (on the left). And the Clear Vista works superbly with the lighter blues within the headboard material, which will likely be seen on the far wall of the bed room. It’ll be proper the place that huge 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 essential space of the home. However contemplating that that is an entrance right into a master suite suite, I believe it’ll be beautiful.

The A2D Every day:

UPDATE: That is what the colours appear like with the overhead gentle turned off through the day, and with solely pure gentle 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 every kind of brush strokes. These partitions are going to wish plenty of work earlier than I can truly paint them. So disregard the entire traces and brush strokes.
