hi,
we are currently renovating our bedroom and want to replace everything. However, we can’t agree on a color. What color would you suggest? As mentioned, we want everything new, and everything should be coordinated with the wall color. So, what do you think is a nice color?

It has to match the entire interior and your personality. I would definitely, as Potter already mentioned, avoid bright red. It is said to cause aggression, and I can’t imagine feeling comfortable with it in the long run. I also find dark colors unsuitable. If you have more modern, minimalist furniture, gray tones work well. For wooden furniture, yellowish shades like beige, light brown, and yellow are a good fit. If your furniture is mostly white, as in shabby chic style, light blue fits nicely.

If the furniture is more white, like in Shabby Chic style, light blue fits quite well.

YES!
I would basically suggest using only color accents and choosing natural, soft tones for the base color. Unique furniture often achieves a much greater effect than a bold wall color.
Shabby Chic is exactly what I mean, although it also comes in other colors. But a piece like a dresser or cabinet stands out much more—especially in a stylish way—than, as you already said, an aggressive bright red wall.

Hi,

I have used that trick before as well! Surprisingly, it really works—you get a good sense of how it could look... I didn’t follow it exactly one-to-one, of course, but it helps!

I prefer "spring green," not neon but something refreshing. And a few additional accents can be created with canvas prints, right?

Cool colors! Or preferably pure white. I think that looks best and also gives a fresh, clean impression! 🙂

I would choose a lilac shade and wallpaper the wall behind the bed with a lilac-colored photo wallpaper, or a shade darker.
