Help me with finishing touches of my bedroom

12 years ago

We just purchased a new bedroom set and I went with all white bedding because it was the only thing I could find to fit our bed properly. I need help finding some pillows to decorate the bed with. I looked at Etsy and found quite a few in the blue catagory but nothing that popped out for me. I also need something for above the bed. I want to keep the room more contemporary so any help with decorating is much appreciated.

I have my pictures on photobucket but can't figure out how to post them. Can anyone go to photobucket and help post my pics here? Thanks so much for your help.

if you are viewing the photos in the album, put your cursor over one of them. Scroll down to the HTML box, and right click. Then paste into the the body of your GW message, like text.

Preview the message and you should see the photos.

Hello, I am katsmah's daughter. Thank you for all your compliments and ideas on the room. Almost everything you have recommended, I have tried, but she can be rather stuborn. First, I would like to say, I never leaned toward Tiffany Blue. I think it's too bright, and she doesn't like it anyway. I think the blue-ish grey that you see everywhere now would be beautiful in here. As far as prints, I think a Damask would be nice, it's mature and elegant to go with her beautiful furniture, but she doesn't like Damask, or really any prints for that matter. She wants to do stripes, which I think wouldn't go with the lines of the furniture. As far as moving the furniture around, I did a whole layout on a free website, but she said that outside wall is too cold, and she sleeps here, so it's her say in the end. As far as the headboard, I had first traced out the front arch of the dresser to get the proper length, it's the same width as a queen bed, and then I lined up the ends of the mirror to flow seemlessly into the arch and cut that out, but I don't think I can make a wood frame around it....Update! I just found out she want's Damask now, not stripes anymore. Thank you, now I can actually get this thing started. She is starting to trust me now that you have all confirmed what I have been saying. Thank you all.

Thank you calidesign and Sabrina Alfin Interiors Sabrina, I am struggling with what patterns to add. I brought some pieces to put above the bed and ended up returning them, either too small or too big. I love your first picture, it gives me idea for the TV too. I wanted to find inspiration for the drapes and coordinated pillows. Thank you again!

Are you sufficiently adept at sewing to add a band to the drapes to make then longer so you can raise them? I’m not a fan of dried floral floor arrangements. I would also jettison the candle/flowers on the dresser. They look a bit dated to me. I agree with the advice to move the chair out of the room. Whether you move it to another room or totally out of the house is your call. I like the pillows in celerygirl’s post. I think your bedside lamps and their shades are fine. I would put a lamp on the dresser, re-orient the mirror to off-center vertical, and maybe a tray with a pretty box or dish for rings, small family photos in pretty frames, and a small green plant.

This is the beginnings of a very beautiful room! That bed is absolutely stunning! I find your blue coverlet is clashing with the teal of the bed. Because the bed is the star of this room, I would use all white linens on the bed and use the blue coverlet across the bottom of the bed. The patchwork quilt I would fold and just have sitting on the bench at the base of the bed. If you have a bench, by the way, don't do the ottoman for the chair. For your ceiling light and table lamp, go with a style more current and not "pretty". And that's the same with other decor in this room. All your major elements of this room are already "pretty", if you add more "pretty" it will start to look sickingly sweet. Replace the ruffled pillow on the chair with something less "pretty". I would go with a plain cream upholstered bench to match your dresser and night stand. Let the bed be the star. Instead of the beige paint, I would love to see a very very soft blue or pearl grey.

i tried going to your link, but it says image has been moved or deleted

Go into your album view, Place your cursor over a photo, do not click it, just place it, do you see a drop down menu?

It will have the photo and will have four lines "email and im, direct link, html code and img code

Click on the little box to the right of "Html" code. It should then say "copied" in the box.

Now go to the message you are typing on GW. hit "paste"

try preview, you should see your photo

Good luck!

A warm tan or very pale gold w/ivory. Here's an example....

If you want solid, a light toast color would add a coziness you won't get w/white.

I think this would look nice over the bed. (see link)

Maybe some green pillows & natural plants on either side of the nightstands. A green coverlet at the end of the bed. It'll be a nice organic modern look.

Not sure if you can tell from the pictures but the walls are a very pale blue and I am not sure green would go very well with that color. I like the idea of gold but not that particular pillow so much. In my head I keep coming back to blue, white and brown but I am open to a very bold color also as long as it ties in with the wall color. Any other suggestions? My curtains are also white and the lamps have a crystal column.

I indeed noticed that your walls are pale blue. The art I posted has a lot of blue in it.

The art you choose can be your inspiration point for completing the room. For instance, with this particular print, you could bring out the bluegreen or green of the picture & add a coverlet at the end of the bed to pull the colors into the room.

I personally would avoid the ubiquitous blue/brown combination, while it is still a beautiful combo. But if that's what speaks to you, then perhaps this one that I've linked to is more of what you're thinking of color-wise.

I would explore art.com for some great stretched canvas prints for over the bed, then choose your accents from that.
