What do you think about an accent wall for a small room?
Comments (6)I also vote against an accent wall - I think that a small bedroom looks best with all the walls the same color. I also think that a small room looks most composed if the dominant tone of the bed covering is close to that of the walls. Is the bedding going to stay the same? If so, I'd recommend a light grey for the walls (if the bedding is grey/silver, as it looks on my monitor) rather than tan. However, you might want to highlight the window niche by painting the inside of the niche (just the inside, not the whole wall) an accent color. Or you could hang luxurious floor-to-ceiling curtain panels at the sides of the window (covering the back wall on either side of the window) and then place a distinctive bench or small chest below the window....See MoreLooking Back On Your Old Rooms, What Do You Think Now?
Comments (16)Madeyna, I remember the years where part of our living room held our DD's toy kitchen, her craft table, and baskets of toys--and I don't regret them a bit. Although it mightn't have been great 'design', it was wonderful to have them playing where we actually 'lived'. Enjoy your toy years! Baroo2--ha ha! What we do for our dogs... I have many photos 'ruined' by all the dog hair under the dining room chairs :-) ogrose--I feel like there used to be more 'forgiveness' for people being young and broke-- people used to think my home was 'something' because I had a few antiques and rugs that weren't made of plastick-y stuff. In grad school, I was really impressed by a classmate who had painted her walls non-white--it was impressive! Nowadays, I feel like blogs and Pinterest give young people unrealistic expectations of what they 'should' be able to do, because the bloggers don't always disclose how they are robbing Peter to pay Paul for their purchases. Mtnrdredux--I was more formal in my first home, too. Just what I was used to, growing up, and it never occurred to me to vary from it until later, when I fell for the Arts and Crafts period... Sandyponder--Oh, I hope I'll have more money and time to dedicate to it in my 50's. That would be one "side effect" of aging to look forward to! Luckygal, yes, some photos of 'homes' look more like displays these days. And I too use plants to keep things from looking sparse. Not as effective as actually having the right things, but definitely better than before I used them, and they do bring life to rooms. Fun2BHere--it's true, I treasure the few photos I have of the places I lived before I had kids--once we had kids, there were plenty of shots with our rooms at least as background, but the apartments where I lived alone--almost none or no photos :( dedtired: I think sites like Apartment Therapy make it easier to envision less formal styles than 'way back when'. All the home decor mags from when we were just starting out featured more formal looks--whether it was living rooms that looked like Ye Old Hunt Club or Queen Victoria's bedroom, I don't remember anything 'casual' until cottage style rolled around to the Better Homes and Gardens at my doctor's office! Snookums--oh, I wish I could block out the flamingo painting I had on the mantel for years!...See MorePowder room layout, what do you think?
Comments (21)We have option 2. It doesn't feel crowded and when you open the door you're looking at art work instead of a toilet, trash can, or messy sink (my kids use that sink to brush their teeth before school). It also gives you wall space to put a cabinet above the toilet for storage (I store toilet paper, a plunger and feminine hygeine products in ours) since there isn't a door in the way. We actually have a decorative niche inset into the wall opposite the door between the studs that holds a painting, a candle and a decorative kleenex box. It makes the room feel larger and gives us a place to put those things. Our sink is a pedestal sink....See MoreHow do you feel about a guest room with 2 F/Q beds?
Comments (44)Annette, husbands can be so inconvenient for decorating at times, can't they! Moderntropicalglam, the paint can is so old I can't really make out the color. Going by the paint used in rest of house, I am going to deduce this is a benjamin Moore CC (designer classics) collection and of those colors I think it looks like Prairie Lily. Also to you and holly, thanks for saying I'm not fluffy but it's ok! I'm pretty fine being on the fluffy side and likely have chosen photos you've seen as carefully as any gal on a dating website....See Morechloenkitty58
