What is the best color to paint a "shabby chic" bedroom?

Answer by  YourMoneyAnswerGal (654)

Celadon green and a warm white are colors which go well with the shabby chic esthetic. Both are neutral, yet friendly colors. They can be paired with warm reds, yellow and even brown. The key to shabby chic is 'don't overdo' any aspect of the room.

Choose a very light color - white with a hint of yellow, pink, blue or green. The wall color should complement your accessories without being distracting.

Choose "tired" or "saddened" colors that have some earthtones in them, soft browns, greys, dusty pinks and ambers, with the ever popular colonial blue/green as accents.

Mud brown or forest green are perfect for the shabby effect. To make the room look chic, paint the room in stripes (fattest to narrowest) across one wall. Or paint one wall forest green and and adjoining wall mud brown. Paint the remaining walls white.
