Favorite serene cream bedroom?

7 years ago

Do you have any Houzz pics (or other) saved of some great cream-colored bedrooms?

We thought we wanted a moody blue/gray/green similar to our dining room, but now we're looking at very pale creams. The problem is window treatments. We currently have bright green drapes, because my husband wanted "COLOR!" to cheer up our very blah pinky-beige room. It worked for the time we had them, but since I've been hanging up 1-yard samples of other more muted fabrics, I realize how much the dark, deep color on the four windows really closes the room in.

I've brought home so, so many lighter fabrics, but my husband is still fixed on wanting colorful shades. I really want a serene look and feel, and dark navy blue shades aren't going to give that.

We will eventually switch to hardwood (or off-white carpet) and a very colorful Persian rug. I think we can add color in artwork for now, instead of big 40x59 swatches of fabric.

Need help convincing! I have a few pics saved, but it's not enough. Help?

He does like this fabric, but only because it has very colorful birds. Otherwise, it's too "blah" for him, especially with a cream wall. I love that fabric, but the more I look at it (I have a window-sized piece at home), the more "old" it looks with that seafoam greenery. Plus, it's more than we want to spend.

This is the current runner-up, which I do really like... but all that blue will not feel serene.
