What bedding/else do I need in here?

11 years ago
I just got this beautiful new set from West Elm. It's reclaimed wood, & my walls are a turquoise grayish color. The bedding feels a little feminine right now. But I was thinking of adding grey sheets to make it more manly. Can anyone recommend what picture to hang over the bed? Or a bed set/colors? Thank you!

    Is the wall sage, teal or gray? It doesn't seem to be turq because the lamp doesn't match. You might consider adding solid bedding in the wall color, which I can't really pin down on my monitor, to tie things together rather than gray, unless you up for painting.

    how about a texturey blanket in a strong color folded over the bottom of the bed to limit the light color of your bedding.

    I would get gray sheets. Or white with gray dots or stripes. For the wall, here are some pieces from west elm that would look awesome. Specially the bull or waves in my opinion.

    Here's the color - it's called coastal dusk.

    Here are some nice masculine sheets and duvet cover that retain the crispness of white, as well...

    Keep your white sheets and go with a gray comforter and pillow shams. Abstract print by Jack Diamond sets the natural mood in your room.

    Just a thought...but are you looking to lure mostly women or men to the honeypot?
    Because I thought the last suggestion leaned to the latter...and an earlier art suggestion, toward the former...
    I don't need to know. Just for you to think about.

    You go Gregory. Nice job with the paint and furniture. Something unexpected over the bed.

    Haha I'm not looking into luring anyone right now. Still living at home with the folks, and going to college. So are you saying white is more feminine? While gray is more manly? Haha.

    I love that last picture! The one of the trees!! I love the suggestions for wall decor but I'm still undecided about bedding even though you guys have given me really great ideas there too! It's one thing seeing it and then another picturing it in the room.

    :) it wasn't really a matter of white being feminine really...just that Act One's ideas seemed more sort of man-cave-ish and APM's art, I would find more inviting and comfortable to me as a woman guest.

    I went looking for charcoal and white shams and throw...found this from room and board that could help balance.

    Nice work. Love the comforter. My hubby and I both like White on White. There is a great Hotel on the beach in LA that has their rooms decorated with White on White bedding. Wood, and a few beach Colors. Very soothing space. The painting Mark suggested is great.

    I like the white bedding and curtains, and you might keep all this for the spring/summer. I would suggest you get a turquoise throw or turquoise coverlet to put over the white bedding, provided you can find one that does not look too feminine. I do like your idea about grey sheets and accessories, and a grey bedspread with some white border stripes would look fantastic. Since turquoise is your main accent color, as in the lamp, it would be great if you could find a large piece of art work that includes most of the colors in the room. Do you like beach prints, western prints, or landscape scenes? I believe you will find your room colors in these subjects of artwork. I would suggest having a large print placed in a frame that is painted white with a bit of grey wash or shading on the frame and then displaying it above the headboard.

    Love everything you just suggested! :)

    Got some gray sheets! Definitely feels more manly! Thing is what wall art will tie the blue white and grey together? It's really coming together though!

    Good on the gray sheets. I hate to even mention it, but (on my monitor, at least) the gray of the pillowcase looks a bit too warm. It should be closer to the gray of the lumbar pillow. I adjusted it below.

    I'd go simple on the art, graphic black and white.

    The color in the blue lamp adds a nice pop of color to your room and it would be lovely to have it repeated in the artwork and even in other acces

    sories in your space. ( Click picture to enlarge )

    Awesome work again Mark! Do you have a link to the picture?

    I do but not sure if there is a size that you will want. This art is more square. I love the color of blue in your lamp, obviously you do too because you chose it :) and feel that you should try to repeat that color in whatever art you choose. I feel that it would tie everything altogether so nicely http://www.allposters.com/-sp/Deep-Waters-I-Posters_i8026825_.htm
