I have the exact same colours as pop :lol: in my room.

currently looking for new bedding though as my mum hates ironing my current stuff :lol: and i aint doing it... plus its dying lol.

Muddy Puddle is by Dulux. There's some weird and wonderful names for some of the shades of different colours.

I like that muddy puddle brown. My skirting boards are already white so that would save messing round with them

I know this isn't a bedroom but it's roughly the right colours that you are after. It is our lounge which we now have brown sofas in and oak furniture. Three walls are magnolia and one wall is muddy puddle (brown). We painted the ceiling brilliant white and the skirting is gloss white.

Here's a pic to give you a bit of an idea...



Nip down to B&Q or similar and get a book of colours, there are so many shades of most colours.

Been having a play round in that Ikea bedroom planner thing. Only difference between the pics below and my room is that my room is in the roof so the top third of the ceiling as you look at it on the plan slopes towards the window hence the wardrobe can only go in the corner I have put it in! I dont think there is enough room between the radiator and corner of the wall to spin it round the other way either





TV could go either on the unit next to the wardrobe or above that unit hung on the wall!

Yes anything brown and cream all helps! Just trying to look round and pick out bits I like to give me ideas

I've got Brown & Cream in my room, but i've got light furnitaure. Off out in a minute but will post some pics when I get back if you want?

Thanks Mark too. You posted at the same time I replied to Ben!

Cool thanks for that Ben. I could do with one of those magazine wall tidy things :lol:

Also wondering if I should wall mount my tv now! :)

my bedroom is cream and brown. iam after a chocolate brown leather double bed and flatscreen tv to finish the room off

That would drive me insane being able to see inside the drawers and things not being neat :o

dark dream top
tan colour bottom
white skirting boards
oak style laminated floor

i also have a rug with creams, light browns and dark chocolate colours on to tie in all the colours together.

only bad thing is i have blue curtains. never got round to changing them as my windows are such odd sizes :(







excuse the girly stuff, missus lives with me :lol:

only thing though is that you notice the dust everywhere with the dark furniture, so you need to polish quite often.

i have very dark furniture and have dark cream and tan colour walls. i'll try and get a pic for you.

If anyone could post pictures of similar colour schemes that'd be even better as it would give me a proper feel for it!

Which particular bits would you do brown and which bits cream though this is where I dont have much of a clue!

I'm guessing with the furniture being so dark I only want certain details to be brown or it'll be total brown over kill. But a light coloured carpet isn't going to be very practical...

Browns and creams would work nicely, Im always one to go for a 'safe' colour scheme though :)

What colour wallpaper, skirtings, curtains, carpet etc. etc. would you go for in a bedroom with furniture that is black brown? (basically a very very dark brown almost black funnily enough!)

I have never ever decorated a room before so dont have a clue where to start with what colours go with what. All I know is I fancy having the wall behind the bed as some sort of patterned wallpaper as this is the wall that will have the most wall on show and the other 3 walls just lined and painted in a colour that matches it :)

Always liked browns and creams which I guess most people seem to do
