Color suggestions for white bedroom furniture
Comments (10)Guys....THANKS SO MUCH for your responses and beautiful pictures! SusieQ...Love your color scheme...the room does indeed look cosy and well put together. Oceanna.. the pics you posted were beautiful....they really inspired me! I think I am leaning towards the cream/red combo for warmth...thinking something like creams/chocolates with red accents.....However, I also love blues/creams too. I may have to paint the walls again to achieve that desired look...it just seems that kilim beige is TOO neutral, and I am not sure what kind of undertones it is giving off. I have a sage/cream comforter in there right now....with green and chocolate accent decor but it just does not seem to 'jiving' with the kilim beige and white furniture....See MoreWall color suggestions to go w/black/cream toile?
Comments (11)My son has the same wallpaper in his dining room. The rest of the front of the house, except the kitchen, is painted a very pale creamish yellow. Standing a few feet away from the room, it looks like the paint matches the cream background of the wallpaper. It's absolutely stunning to look at!...See MoreBlack Toile Cottage Master Bedroom....Cameron
Comments (52)les - Brought the tuffet up this past weekend and I love it! It always surprises me that just one piece added to a room can pull a space together so much. It is shaped liked a cushion-cut diamond - square top that angles down on the sides. I have it set on the left side of the rocker, sort of under the loon print. It doesn't crowd anything and the square shaped top works with the boxy shape of the rocker, while the curved feet mirror the curves of the handles. The stained feet make it not too matchy-matchy. Since my nightstands, headboard & chest all match, I think it's better not going overboard with more black wood! The rocker was placed there because it gives a view right out to the mountain and brook, but I will move things around as you suggested, just to see. I also like the idea of a pillow with the big button. Maybe I'll leave the tuffet black, and just cover the big button with a coordinating fabric (?) And I'd still like to get another rug for the sitting area, though I'd probably move it out in the summertime. A friend who came for dinner on Sat., who had never seen the cottage but had looked up this post, brought me a Wall Words saying as a hostess gift. She made it clear it was up to me whether I wanted to use it or not. The script is black and it reads,"Prayers Go Up, Blessings Come Down" which she thought would look good on the wall behind the bed. She said she thought the phrase worked especially nicely because the wall is angled "Up" and that coming upon this property was a real blessing. Thoughts? oceanna - I can just feel how badly you want to dress that room! I now it probably looks sparse, but if you stood in it I think you would feel differently. My aim is to have it be an uncluttered space where my eyes are drawn to the outside views and sounds. I want to appreciate the way the sun glows off the wood floors and highlights the knots and texture of it. If this were in my home here, in a city neighborhood, I would be with you(and Cher!)100%, though! And I appreciate the tips on covering an ottoman. You inspire me to give it a try doing it on my own!...See MoreBM Paint Suggestions to go with Blue and White Toile
Comments (2)Sage, grayed or even apple-type greens work wonderfully with a blue toile. Adding a green might be a nice way to round out the butter/blue color scheme....See Moren2cookin
