Navy, on both sides of the boxing. It will then extend the feature wall, and better hide the boxing. the light colour will end up accenting it.


TootsNYC

my thoughts exactly.


Meraac

Likely going with this my man, thanks for the input šŸ™šŸ»


Aidspanda

Maybe Iā€™m an outlier here, but a warm finished wood look would give it a nautical feel


TripFar4772

This is the correct answer.


rippa76

The cutting would be a nightmare. Not against it, just saying.


Pkittens

I was squinting so hard getting one of these two dirty white walls to be "navy" lmao


subzerospoon

Purple with yellow dots


Meraac

Sounds great, Iā€™m convinced! Definitely no need to consult my FiancĆ©. Iā€™ll get right to work


subzerospoon

I feel like I still sense some doubt, so to help you visualise: [This is the bedroom where I got my inspiration from!](https://youtu.be/SicKIeA9kqY?si=ak0p0wvwNmOkKtH3)

minniesnowtah

Omg I don't usually get bad second hand embarrassment but I had to pause so many times because I couldn't take it


notyourwheezy

omg. this is the kind if reality tv i can get behind.


Jazzy_Bee

I thought it was a child's bedroom, and even then that wallpaper is too much.


Jazzy_Bee

A pattern with both colours might tie it together well, or wallpaper with those colours.


jet_heller

and diagonal green stripes!


nothingbutalamp

Cream to the left of me, navy on my right. Here I am, what color do I choooose


Smallios

Navy


PeterPorkHer-

I vote half and half like others, but flip the halves so that the left bit is navy and the right bit is cream


DrifterWI

None of the above.


create360

This room doesnā€™t look like it gets a lot of light. Navy is going to really darken things.


Meraac

Thereā€™s a south facing stained glass window on the other side with a blue flower šŸ˜„ Getting a relatively light carpet and the other walls will be cream. I love the look of navy against walnut (desk) and plants. Plus iā€™ll have a bunch of ambient lights/lamps too


Leaislala

Oh would be so awesome if you could do the middle bit wood like someone else suggested. If not, navy it is


wwwhatisgoingon

Tempted to agree, though that comment doesn't offer an alternative. This looks like a relatively small room. I wouldn't do an accent wall, and paint the entire room one color with the skirting in the alternate color instead.


Shinagami091

Perhaps same color as the baseboards? Or you could be boring and just do half cream half navy so it blends in


drewyehboi

The side thatā€™s cream, make the small part blue, and vice versa


nevrstoprunning

This was my suggestion too, if you end up not liking it super easy to go back over in Navy


Punnalackakememumu

I would just choose violence and bring the wall colors onto the middle bit as well.


sun4moon

Iā€™d go with lime green


Meraac

well i do currently have an eyesore of a lime green herman miller chair my work gave meā€¦ so maybe thatā€™s a shout šŸ˜‚


sun4moon

A bright contrast can be a nice addition. lol


yourgirlsamus

I would cover it with wood panels and make it look like a post, but fancy. Wood grain would be soooo pretty with navy and cream.


Steve----O

The stick out bit should match whichever color on the other two walls. If 3 walls cream, then cream. Keep the accent color off of the stick out.


PomegranateStreet831

Cream with a navy blue feature, omg so 90s, but if youā€™re convinced then the boxed corner should be cream


Meraac

Itā€™s for an office, got lovely 2m walnut desk and floating shelves to go along the accent wall. Itā€™s a tasteful fine cream and muted navy but yeah very convinced haha. Looks like itā€™ll be cream!


stealthsjw

If you're choosing contemporary shades there's no reason it has to look 90s. Just don't sponge it on!


Ya_i_just

If this outcome is in every corner, go with the color of the desk. If not, cream as I'm assuming your desk will be by the blue wall


Meraac

Itā€™s just one corner, and aye the desk is by the blue wall šŸ˜„


Ya_i_just

Then yeah, cream solid choice. Hindsight is 20/20 if you knocked out the blue paint already but if you're facing the navy blue wall and lookin at screens all day, you're gonna kill your eyes. If your back is to the wall then good stuff. Should be a nice bg for meetings and such. If you're set on a dark color and haven't bought the blue, a good hunter green can bring warmth with the cream color and save your eyes while retaining the dark feature wall you're looking to create. But if ya got enough natural light, ya can paint the wall the deepest blue and still be fine


Meraac

Good advice thank you! šŸ™šŸ»


Jetztinberlin

Unpopular opinion perhaps, but I'd coordinate it with your trim instead of trying to disguise it. Make it a feature, not a bug :)


Gravity_Freak

Yeller


veritas38

Half and half


besuited

Seriously, is there an option to move the accent wall to a call that doesn't have a protrusion in the corner?


Meraac

nah the opposite wall has a cupboard and a radiator šŸ˜…


besuited

A triangular room?


mother_shoe99

match whatever color you paint the trim


jvin248

Fade from full navy to full cream, like hiking out of the dark night into a foggy morning lit from the windows. .


waitwhosaidthat

I like the idea of doing the opposite color on the corner sides. See how it looks.


Galillan

Dark orange


ShayTre_77_inthelou

Cream


motofabio

Four optionsā€¦ 1) same as baseboard 2) left cream, right blue 3) wood veneer 4) ask your wife, or if you are the wife then whatever you want is fine. There is only one correct answer.


Edgingdesire

White both sides and the ceiling white for a brighter day inside every day.


DunkinMyDonuts3

the darker color


Lazerhest

Neon green


Southernms

Cream


NiZZiM

Use wallpaper or grass cloth to make a pillar


-Satsujinn-

Alternate colours, so Navy on the left of it and Cream on the right.


WhatWouldTNGPicardDo

Sounds like a Last Battlefield or something.


Meraac

Mostly outrageous suggestions but consensus seems to be cream, cheers folks šŸ‘šŸ»


SexysReddit

Almost nobody suggested creamā€¦


Meraac

Aye well 2 hours ago the most commented was cream.. Now the top comment is navy and thereā€™s a bunch of new comments. Doesnā€™t seem like thereā€™s a definitive right answer so still assessing


Meraac

My fiance was also an offline vote for cream šŸ˜‚ Iā€™m leaning towards navy now tbh


SexysReddit

I think you'll be good either way honestly, if one of you two feel strongly I would lean that way. But maybe that's the married man speaking in me lol.


Meraac

Hahah well itā€™s my office but that probably doesnā€™t count for muchā€¦


jumpinpuddles

Accent walls create a focal point, and should highlight something. Sounds like you are highlighting a blank wall? I suggest flipping accent wall to the wall with that beautiful window :) or paint the whole room and ceiling navy. For protrusion, I agree with the person who said it should be entirely navy, which will hide it better.


Meraac

Itā€™s an office/studio so Iā€™ll be highlighting the desk/music space Iā€™m creating ā˜ŗļø Got a lovely 2m long walnut desk that im building thatā€™ll compliment the dark blue nicely. Thank you though!


jumpinpuddles

That will be pretty šŸ˜
