I'm having a hard time figuring out what color to paint? White, light gray or a light blue

Your bedding seems to be the major color and design in your room. Squint at the fabric design and see which pops out the strongest to you and then do a value of that color be it blue, grey or white. The colors on the bed will relate to the colors on the wall. Generally select a color on the paint chip then go two shades lighter for the correct paint. It will reflect of of all the walls and become more intense. Bathroom can be darker or lighter value of bedroom or completely another color in the bedding, etc.

If the wood is raw, that would mean it has no stain, paint or sealer on it, in which case you would only need to sand the two years worth of use it has. If all dirt, grease, etc isn't off the piece before you whitewash it, this will show in the new finish. Sand it well, don't miss any areas, don't take any shortcuts. Then get some white stain, follow the instructions on the can, and finish with several coats of polyurethane. I find I get the very best results by using Minwax products.

a light blue would be very relaxing and personal for your master suite but a light gray would be equally fitting - perhaps you can find that perfect watery blue that envelopes both those colors - sophisticated as well as relaxing.

Haha! Yes the bedding is gone. We just bought the house. That is not my furniture. Pics from the previous owner. Thank you all for your opinions. I totally agree! I'm definitely leaning on the lighter blue.

Think the paint color is pretty it's the comforter set and accessories that's not making the room cohesive. Since you like the colors blue and gray, I think that should be the colors you use to decorate your bedroom with along with some crown moulding.

Benjamin Moore Ice Cap is dreamy in bath or bedroom with another color on the chip going up or down for a two toned look. Soft ethereal color.

I'd go with blue, but somewhere between light a medium blue. It's a big space so could handle a little more color.

You might want to look at some of the lighter grays as they often read pale/silvery blue. Check out the Paint Diva of New Jersey - she is a color consultant for Benjamin Moore and has a video on how to choose the perfect gray paint and talks about this - she says when she wants a pale blue for a room she always goes with a gray.

I think white with a light gray accent somewhere would look great. Check this out: Expert Pointers For Interior Painting

Totally agree the Diane and Jan.

I would never pick a blue, pick a gray that "reads" blue or it will look tooooo blue and garish.

Grays are tricky....some look lavender, some green, blue, etc. plus whether there is more light in the room, etc. nice room, btw!

Try Alaskan Skies 972 by BM. It’s a white grey that changes during the day with the change of light. Goes with everything, contrast with a cool pure white.

I love my light blue bedroom color... but go with a very grey one so it doesn't look baby blue!

IMO a pale blue would be very pretty but I agree you need to find one that does not look baby blue in your space.I would however want to see your bedding and your furniture I almost always use the bedding as inspiration for wall colors in bedrooms.
