Anyone ever do pale pink or a rosewood in the bedroom? Currently have lavender/lilac which I am sort of tired of, or maybe I need to lighten it up a few shades. Those who have color in the bedroom, what do you have? Any specific paint color recs from decorator moms? I don’t think I want white or gray, the rest of the apartment is gray. I know this is maybe going out (gray) but it is still all over furniture sites etc so I am not focused on living area right now. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Op: Im single. And I am talking a very pale pink what is not noticeable. Even when I was married I’d have no issue with this. The room isn’t overly feminine. [ Reply | More

I think of rosewood as a pretty dark pink. I don't think I would do pink in a bedroom because it would feel like I had to think about what other colors were in there. I get not wanting gray or white, but would still want something more neutral. [ Reply | More

I currently have lilac. I like color. The pinks I am looking at are not nearly as obvious as lilac and one it said you wouldn’t even notice it was pink it just gives the room a glow. I ammloling for neautrals but that have a color. Yes rosewood is dark probably not up for that. [ Reply | More

Common in British countryside to paint interior pinkish, supposedly helps with making things seem "rosier" ;) vs. cloudy, gray, depressing. [ Reply | More

So you think it could be seen as a neutral-ish? The lavender definitely is not. [ Reply | More

np: you don’t need to pay someone to choose a paint color. Read some decorating blogs. [ Reply | More

Some people are capable of browsing blogs and paint chips and making their own decisions. Some people need to hire a consultant for every little thing. OP sounds like the latter. [ Reply | More

Actually she doesn’t. She asked what people thought of pink and if they had other recs. She seems to be just trying to get some point of views or suggestions. [ Reply | More

On a color? Please. She can't choose a color without crowdsourcing to make sure she picks the "right" one. She needs a decorator. [ Reply | More
