Checkerboard Colors
Black and White Contrast
Black and white should be used for checkerboard patterns, playing card references, pillows, vases, trays, coffee tables, floors, and accent decor because this contrast gives the theme its strongest Wonderland identity.
- Sherwin-Williams Pure White SW 7005: Use for the white sections of checkerboard patterns, trim, and crisp contrast.

Card Red
Small Accent Color
Playing card red should be used sparingly for hearts, diamonds, wall art, small pillows, tiny painted details, or decorative objects because too much red can overpower the lavender, blush pink, and teal palette.
- Sherwin-Williams Real Red SW 6868: Use only in small doses for heart and diamond accents.
- Benjamin Moore Heritage Red HC-181: A slightly deeper red for framed art, card-inspired details, and vintage accents.

Gold Finish
Metallic Accent
Gold is the glamorous metallic finish for Alice in Wonderland Tea Party Glam, and it should appear on lighting, mirrors, frames, table bases, cabinet trim, hardware, shelf brackets, and decorative accents.
For the most cohesive look, choose one gold direction and repeat it throughout the room. Antique brass feels more vintage and storybook-inspired, while brushed gold feels cleaner and more modern. Avoid mixing too many metallic finishes because the room already has a colorful fantasy palette.

Lighting Guide
North-Facing Rooms
North-facing rooms make lavender look cooler, teal look deeper, and warm white look slightly gray, so choose creamier whites and softer lavender shades to keep the room from feeling cold.
In north-facing rooms, Alabaster, White Dove, French Lilac, and Aegean Teal usually feel safer than very bright whites or very gray lavenders. Add gold lighting, blush pink textiles, and warm bulbs to bring the tea-party glow back into the space.
South-Facing Rooms
South-facing rooms make lavender, blush pink, and gold feel warmer and more saturated, so you can use stronger fantasy colors without the room feeling dull.
Wallflower, Romance, Lagoon, and Riverway can look especially beautiful in south-facing rooms because the sunlight gives them a glamorous, storybook glow. Use warm white trim to keep the palette clean.
East-Facing Rooms
East-facing rooms look brightest in the morning and softer later in the day, so blush pink and lavender may feel cheerful early and more muted by evening.
This is a good direction for bedrooms, bathrooms, and coffee bars. Use warm lighting in the afternoon and evening to keep the fantasy palette from going flat.
West-Facing Rooms
West-facing rooms receive stronger golden light later in the day, so gold, blush pink, and lavender can look richer in the afternoon and evening.
This direction works beautifully for living rooms, patios, hallways, and entertaining spaces. If the colors feel too warm at sunset, balance them with teal furniture, black-and-white checkerboard, and warm white walls.
Paint Placement
Walls
The safest wall colors are warm whites because they allow the lavender, blush pink, teal, black-and-white pattern, playing card red, and gold accents to feel intentional instead of overwhelming.
Trim
The best trim colors are warm whites such as Alabaster, White Dove, or Swiss Coffee because they keep the theme soft and romantic.
Doors
The best door colors are lavender or teal because painted doors can add Wonderland personality without requiring a full room makeover.
Cabinets
The best cabinet colors are lavender for a dreamy fantasy look and teal for a richer, more dramatic contrast.
Furniture
The best furniture paint colors are lavender, blush pink, teal, warm white, and black because painted furniture is one of the easiest ways to recreate the theme on a budget.

Final Palette
The easiest Alice in Wonderland Tea Party Glam paint formula is warm white walls, lavender painted accents, teal cabinetry or shelving, blush pink decor, black-and-white checkerboard pattern, tiny playing card red details, and gold hardware or lighting.
This combination keeps the room colorful, dreamy, and theatrical while still feeling cohesive. The soft pastel base creates the fantasy mood, the checkerboard pattern provides Wonderland contrast, and the gold finish adds the glam layer that makes the theme feel polished and grown-up.
