Can't decide what color. Room is 14x15 with vaulted ceiling, double wide window facing north. Light gray carpet, all white trim. Your suggestions?

Hard to tell on the monitor, but if you want a blue, I think I'd go with one shade darker than the blue in your bedding, which is really pretty by the way. Have you thought about a taupe that's also in the bedding? At least it looks like Taupe??

I would take a piece of your bedding, like a sham maybe or one of the pillows, to a paint store and have it color matched. I have done that many times with great results. Good luck

Love this! So elegant. If my monitor is showing these colors accurately, my preference is the Behr gray morning. I would want the bedding to stand out. Good luck and let us know what you choose

Your bedroom sounds identical to mine: same size, vaulted ceiling, windows facing the North side. My attached master bath has silver travertine tumbled marble floors and is painted Benjamin Moore "Harbor Gray" with BM "Decorators White" trim. We've tried several colors, shades & hues in the Master Bedroom before we found the one we like best. It's Benjamin Moore's "Smokey Taupe" painted on the walls AND ceiling with BM "Decorator's White" trim. It matches well with the bath and light gray carpet, but has this really cozy feeling without being too dark. It's a wonderful color that almost defies description and changes moods in different light. At night, with incandescent lighting and/or the fireplace lit, it is absolutely the most comfortable relaxing space. Not gray, not brown, feels just right!

I just painted my bedroom (same size, vaulted ceiling) and I have light carpet...I chose Sea Spray by Glidden (kind of a sky blue) and it's perfect! I agree with the poster that said take your curtain, sham or something from your bedroom to the paint store, that's what I did too! Blue is such a cheerful yet calming color and great for a bedroom. I also hung the Helena chandelier from Menards which added a beautiful elegant "bling" touch (accent colors brown and even a few pieces of bright pink).

I like the vibrancy of either of the three above the headboard (beautiful bedding and bed, too!)

Cricket, I love your bedroom! I love your bedding! I work at Dillard's and sell this line of Croscill bedding. I would take a swatch of the fabric from the bedding or a sham to the paint store. But beautiful, calming colors to me!
