We are redecorating a guest bedroom in our house and have decided to go with a "greek" theme. This means blue walls, black/white furniture (which we have purchased new, black bed frame, white nightstands, etc, in a contemporary design). We plan to have a picture frame wall like on young house love with all white frames and pictures of the greek islands. Our duvet cover is solid white from west elm.

We have fallen in love with Benjamin Moore's color "blueberry." The problem is that we are aware that dark colors make rooms feel smaller, and our parents have all advised us to do an accent wall, or maybe 2 dark walls, and 2 light walls. We can't decide whether to follow their advice, or do the whole room blue. What do you think? I'm attaching a picture of the color. Thanks!!

I only use dark colors in small rooms. Colors which would be over the top in a large room give a small room a jewel box effect. Also, accent walls are a huge pet peeve of mind so I can't recommend that.  I think the color would be fine, especially with a lot of white in the rrom.

I have to ask what is a "Greek" theme? Is blue/black/white a popular decorating scheme in Greece?

Thanks so much! Good to hear that other people would do the whole room too and we aren't crazy for wanting to. The room is an average size guest bedroom. It does have a 1/2 bath off of it that we will do in a lighter color. It has two decent sized windows on two separate walls, one wall is taken up by a closet and then door to the bathroom, and then the other wall will be the one with all the frames.

As for the "greek" theme, my husband has been wanting to have a dark blue room for EVER, and we are both Greek so we thought it would be appropriate. The only thematic stuff we will have is some greek key patterened crown molding, 2 throw pillows I got from Etsy that are white with the black greek key, and then just the photos of Greece on the one wall. Also the blue and white theme is very greek. The black isn't so much but it gives it (IMO) a more contemporary/modern feel. I don't like the old school traditional just blue and white stuff. We don't want to go over the top with it but are taking our inspiration for the room from key colors and designs you see in Greece!

@albertagrl: Seriously? Are we long lost twins?! You are the one who posted about ttc in Aug and got your phd in psychology right? I am also graduating with my psyd in june, ttc in aug, and DH and I are both Greek! and you have blueberry walls?? how nuts is that?!... haha.

@thefuturemrsrowe: Yeah, I am not a fan of the bottom pics either. The floors are going to be new carpet in an ivory color. We will do white crown molding and white trim around the 2 windows, closet door, and bathroom door. I wanted the white headboard but DH really wanted black so we compromised and are doing the mismatched color thing, though the pieces are from the same collection.

I think we'll start by doing two walls and see what we think. Now I am really leaning towards doing the whole room like we wanted but I still want to stop at 2 and make sure. I'll definitely post pics!! Thanks everyone!!

@slicey19: THere was a house like that last night on House Hunters... I won't be doing bold in every room!! Haha.

@albertagrl: I guess so!! Too funny. Hopefully we can be pregnancy buddies!!

Just an update we just finished painting all 4 walls in blueberry. I will post pics when we get the room back together! Thanks everyone for the input!! It was a great decision, we love it. :)
