Well, I can only agree with my predecessors. Bright colors like red feel absolutely out of place in the bedroom; I wouldn't be able to relax there either :rolleyes:. On the other hand, pure white seems both too boring and somewhat dull to me. What's wrong with a patterned wallpaper? At least the wall behind the bed should have some color. I also like those light cream tones that someone already mentioned here, but I didn't want it to be too monotonous. And since our bedroom furniture has this brown walnut look, which is so trendy now, I found the dark stripes quite fitting. So, I feel comfortable and can sleep well in this room :)
