Can you help with room colors?

14 years ago
Hi Charmean, I want different colors in my bedroom; the pink is starting to bother me. also my rug is too busy. I like my bookcase and artwork. Also, I have a basket from Ghana that I love! My walls are a light, subdued, green. What do you think about a new pillow, bedskirt, rug and roman shades? Thanks!

    This art is in my room now and I like it, but I don't want anymore of these colors.

    Hi Claire. Okay, why don't you use your basket that you love as color inspiration. I love the citron and purple in the basket and it looks like you are interested in an ethnic vibe. I've attached a couple pictures of rugs, I like to start with rugs. The first rug is from West Elm, the second is from www.rugstudio.com. There are only two colors in each rug so it doesn't feel too busy, but they have sort of an ethnic pattern. Also, if you like the bed in the picture you attached, that is an architectural salvage piece that acts as a sort of headboard. Maybe you can find something similar in turquoise or the color of your bookcase. For your bedding, I've attached some duvets from Serena and Lily that have a subtle ehtnic vibe in bright colors. I like the elephants. I think your art is great. Let me know what you think about what I've attached and then I'll take a look at window treatments. Hope that helps. Charmean Neithart

    Where did you get the carved wood panel from?

    It has a African feel to it. One thing you should do is add a headboard. Can be wood or fabric. A woven look would work too. Then change out picture you have. Doesn't really go with room. And it's too high. Hang all pic 7" from top of furn. I would paint a putty color. Get samples try on your walls.

    Get new bedding. Something like that last pillow you show, black and cream stripe. Would work. Lamp could be a brass base bigger and black shade.

    Is green cab in the room? It needs to be on a bigger wall. Big furn goes on big walls. Add palms to corners for texture, use brass pots. Or black.

    We ended up re-decorating this bedroom for this then 15 year old girl. She was thrilled with the outcome. Have a look...
