Which color is best? Toasted tan or natural light beige?

I’m thinking light beige....as my wall is edgecombe gray (grayge) from bm

I think both will work...look at the background of your rug..what will blend with it best?

Either one, I just don’t want it to blend with the walls. The rug has Aqua too.....

When do you get your bedding?

I already have it.

Ok than try to match the drapery to the color tone of the bedding...

White?

Just read through your thread. HIWE, I have the pillow you posted earlier with the black diamond shapes and tassels. The quality is amazing. Very heavy and nicely textured.

So bedding is pure white or off white?

Pure white....

I just bought the natural light beige drapes (should have it in 2 weeks) and also bought the same Greek key pillow covers as your daughter in law... I’m looking for a slight darker sham as I think the room will look too light (with bedding, drapes and walls). But I have seen that a Lot of people are keeping decor neutral. It can be boring, but the rug makes a statement! I want to be 100 satisfied with the result in the end, as I tend to change things around the house a lot if I’m not happy with it (my husband said no more rugs....I have 3 like new in the garage lol). Staying away from black as suggested....what do you think of this pillow To add to the orange?

Oh good light drapes good choice..oh good the Greek key are very cool..they work will with the rug and orange pillow combo..wait until you get drapes and Greek key pillows than see how it looks and you will have a better idea if what else is needed to balance it all out!

I think you’re right. the slate shams are $60 each and they do not accept refunds!

Found these are Target. color is Tan henna..... 👍 or 👎?

Duvet cover is not in yet, but this is the matching sham.

I love the greek key pillows so much! And affordable too! It’s a keeper! I decided just to put 2 instead of 3 shams....I’m gonna buy a lumbar one. will post more pictures when light beige drapes arrive. Now on the hunt for walk art and lamp shades similar to your suggestions.....it’s coming along!

yeah, so glad you love the new shams and yes coming along. you sound excited, yeah. do you mind taking a picture of the room that shows the curtains with the bed. I'd like to see how the white bedding, rug and curtains look together...when you get a chance.

The drapes look short? I like the color it blends nice with the neutral in the rug..if you hung the drapes with pinch rings I think they would be perfect length.. pillows are great..love those darn greek key! They just pull it all together...one lumbar out front will look great!

These maybe If your rod is bronze..make sure the ring is the correct size for your rod diameter...easy opening and closing too.

Yes, Theresa, will send pic once everything is in. I’m still missing one tan panel (en route) , and waiting for the lighter natural beige from halfPricedrapes.

HIWE my husband wanted an industrial rod. So, I’ll make sure he adjusts the height. I also agree.

The natural beige curtain arrived. It’s well made, max blackout, but I’m thinking it’s too matchy matchy with the walls...., maybe I can exchange to the toasted tan color? or keep the target tan henna on the left.....

I'm not a pro, but I kind of like how it blends with the wall. It will allow rug, pillows and art to be the color stars.

like you said, one blends in more to the wall and one stands out more, so to me it becomes a personal choice. for me, I think I might like the style that blends in more so the rug and bed and bedding becomes more prominent.

And the target half drape arrived too!

Gcubed I think it will be too blah, the Room is really big

Good morning....ok I really think you need to move rod up and order longer drapes...those are too short and you really should not lower that rod anymore....

Checking in..how are things going?

Hi!!! Still no luck with an affordable pair of black lamps. And no drapes that I really like.....I tried two more but wasn’t crazy about it....

I was contemplating painting the wall behind head board a hunter green..... that way the that wall would stand out and not blend in with the beige drapes. Beige is a safe color but it is Same color if the walls.

how about solid white drapes or white drapes with a trim in some color, navy perhaps? isn't your bedding and duvet white?

pics...

a couple thoughts... both blackouts from target.

I really like those ivory/beige drapes..color is good...once you hang art and add lamps you won’t need a accent wall...... pull all the other things together.

Really like your headboard and foot board and the frame most visible (on left from fott of bed) looks really good with it. Wouldn't consider any of that industrial ... more contemporary -- and a really good contemporary at that. You might consider putting the two framed pictures above the two side tables/lamps and leave those side walls empty. You might also consider a wall hung box shelf (or two) over your head board painted the same color as your wall for "storage" of non-clothes items. A pair of them the same width as your pillows and tall/wide enough for a basket or two within the shelf could hold personal effects or grooming items for each of you without looking cluttered.

The ottoman at the foot of the bed seems way too tiny for the space. Perhaps it is needed or could be useful in another room?

Clearly you need storage space.

You might consider adding wainscoting to the back of your dresser, paint the wainscoting white or black and put it at the foot of your bed so you can build in storage on the wall opposite the foot of the bed.

Truly hate that sloppy drapes drag the floor look and hope you don't choose that boho look. If you really want an industrial look, choose blinds rather than fabric curtain or drapes.

Black metal anything usually fits well with an industrial look, including picture frames and lamps. Recommend tall thin lamps and medium to large white shades for more light.

Any metal lamp you can find (often found at thrift stores) can be painted black. Good Will is currently the only thrift store open in my neighborhood since the beginning of the pandemic era. Larger Habitat for Humanity Restore Stores might be open elsewhere Even a tall think wood lamp could be painted black.

[If you paint a lamp or other metal item, use thin coats to prevent globs and runs and drips; suggest RustO'leum 2X spray paint after light/lamp is fully cleaned. If there is any rust, sand that area and clean it thoroughly (no dust) and paint with RustO'leum Rust Reformer (black) first. Lamp/light can, if you wish, be painted with a shinier black RustO'leum after it is fully dry.]

Hi Theresa! I’m gonna Look for those white curtains, I can always return it. The first pic you sent me the room is really Nice with white drapes and bedding. But I think too much white can look sterile.

HIWE most likely I will end up with those beige curtains.... it is too long because they didn’t have the size I need, and I still have to adjust the rod.

Suezbell thank you for the suggestions. The ottoman is there just so the dog can go up and down the bed. as far as the lamps, I’m not a diy girl, and I don’t like to purchase used items (that’s just my preference...). when I go to home goods and home sense I’m keeping my eyes out for those lamps....
