Hi, im new here and hope to get some paint suggetions. We just moved in a few months ago and been slowly painting each room. Im stuck on colors for the master bedroom and master bath. Here is my bed, the colors in my spread is gold, redish and browns. I want a romantic feel to my room but don't want it really dark. I also need some paint suggestions to go from my bedroom into the master bath. Thanks.

Welcome to the forums!

It's hard to pic colors for someone else. There are a lot of colors in the beige family that would look good - I know, that's kind of a generic answer:eek::D

Compared to everything else you can do to your home, paint is fairly inexpensive. There is some software out there that can take and color a photo of your room to help you decide. You might try some samples and worse case senario would be after you paint you decide that wasn't the look you wanted and have to repaint.

A place I would start here is to buy a quart in flat, of the predominate color in your spread, and a paint color close to your wood tones. Mix a little of the brown in with the cream color and paint a small area near the bed. See if you like the tone and darken or lighten to suit, then paint he wall the bed is against. If you like it, take it to the store and buy more, if not, just paint over it...Looks like the same color will work in the bath, but in satin sheen. Nice bed by the way...
