What paint color and accent colors would go?

Im redoing my bedroom, im a teen girl and very artistic. My room is large and airy, so im picking the main wall and painting on it a cherry blossom tree, and beside that japanese symbols and then putting my bed against that wall. The tree has pink blossoms so what color should the other walls be and what color should the accent wall be underneath the tree? also what color should i make the curtains and bedsheets so it will all look cohesive? thanks.What paint color and accent colors would go?
Very cool idea! If your worried a few years from now you might out grow this- another great option people have been using are wall decals- they are easy to apply and easy to remove. If you still want to paint your design and the background walls, i would suggest picking a color that is either going to be subtle (a sandy tan color) or a color that is really going to draw attention to your painting (a dark teal!) and make it really pop! You dont want too much going on with the curtains and bed sheets so i would really go with a sheer white curtain and a white down comforter- be sure to toss in some colorful pillows that match the shade of the background wall color.

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to help you imagine how the colors will look together. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family %26amp; color name, the ';painted'; rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think ';wheat penny'; (# 7705) %26amp; ';bolero'; (# 7600) might be a good choice.





You can take a photo of your house %26amp; upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

You can get color suggestions %26amp; for $5 they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.
what you need to do is look at a bunch of japanese designs.look at the colors from them to keep it as realistic as you can.your tree should be the focal point of your room.the other 3 walls should be within the color spectrum of your base color.good luck with the project.you cant go wrong with earth tones which are color neutral!
Light blue for the other walls and red for underneath the tree. Brown for the curtains and the bedspread.
