What are the measurements for the different stripes? - The stripes vary in size. There is the obvious lager middle stripe, but the orange stripe also seems a bit smaller than the others at the top and bottom. Also, what is the width of the thin stripe?
Thanks! »
Designer and fellow Houzz contributor Erika Ward created this darling space for her young sons. Inspired by her boys' interest in movies such as "Finding Nemo" and "Shark Tales," Erika created a nautical-themed room with a modern twist, all on a tight budget (she found the beds on Craigslist). Kudos, Erika!
Orange and blue lie opposite each other on the color wheel, and as this room demonstrates, complementary colors are always a strong choice for stripes. Try experimenting with yellow and purple or red and green stripes — but of course be careful with the latter to avoid looking Christmasy.
Take a cue from nature. "From watching the movies Finding Nemo, Shark Tales, and The Reef to chatting about sand and surf in the days leading up to their first beach vacation, my kids have always been infatuated with all things ocean related," says Erika Ward of Erika Ward Interiors."When you're decorating on a tight budget, paint gives you the most impact for your decorating dollar," she says. "Painting stripes is an added bonus because it eliminates the need for wall decor but at the same time gives the space interest. And the horizontal stripes make a room appear wider and more expansive."The three colors here are by Sherwin-Williams: Ebbtide, Jetstream and Marquis Orange.

Erkek çocuk odalarında çoğunlukla tercih edilen mavi tonların tekdüzeliğini farklı mavileri çizgili olarak kullanarak bozabilirsiniz.Ekleyeceğiniz canlı bir turuncu ile modern ve şık bir tarz yaratabilirsiniz.
love this color scheme. esp like the bedding...simple with cool pillows and colored accents. think these colors would look great with wicker dresser & rocker

idea for eric's room...
dark blue bottom & top, then tan stripe following each, then denim blue color, then big orange stripe in center....so bottom to top should be dark blue, tan, lighter blue, orange, lighter blue, tan, dark blue. white is used for trim only
