Like dark royal purple? With those colored walls? I don't know, I think that's gonna clash pretty harsh with the wood tones. Now if you go with something with a kick of red in it, those would pop pretty nice.
Something like this, with those walls, would look spectacular.
I disagree entirely. There are clearly grey tones in that wood, and purple accents grey beautifully. This red would be a poor choice, in my opinion.
The key word you used there is "accent". I feel that a darker purple against the walls themselves will dominate the space, and bring a heavy feeling to a room that should otherwise feel vibrant and welcoming. I'm also taking into consideration the colors of the bed itself, to me the the light airy feeling of the red contrasts well with the darker earthy tones that the bedframe and the headboard bring into the room. I'm not saying no to a darker purple entirely, it would work well for the sheets, or perhaps accessories that aren't directly against the wall.
Im gonna have a dark bed cover with throw pillows with color matching the drapes. The color Ill add will not be darker than the rest of the room. But it is a bedroom I dont want too vibrant feel there, I want a calming soothing cozy feeling. Reaon I chose dark walls and floors to make the room feel smaller.
We're obviously not going to agree on this. If you're going with dark wood for the dresser and side tables too, you're going to want something that's going to add a bit of color without feeling overwhelming. That might be a tad too bright for what you're going for, but I do ask you to consider adding something other than dark browns and purples to the room. Add runners to your surfaces, hang a picture on the wall, but do something. There's a fine line between calm and soothing and heavy and depressing, and I feel that if you just add dark on dark that it's going to sway it towards the latter.
Purple isnt depressing, blue is. And why are you saying Im adding dark on dark, I keep saying the color I adf wont be as dark.
