Oh goodness! What color would you paint this room?
Comments (10)I can never pick colors out of the blue, (no pun intended) but need an inspiration piece to give me a direction...be it either a pic from a magazine, a piece of art, a vase, very often fabric I'll use in the space, or once, even the color of my cat's eyes. But once I have a color direction, all the other choices are so much easier. Not only that, but it will often take me in directions that I'd normally never ever go with surprisingly good results. Have you thought about getting a color inspiration first?...See MoreWhat color would you paint a room with this in it
Comments (27)Okay, I'm so confused now. I'm a realtor and I just saw some houses with gorgeous paint jobs. You would think this would help me but it only confuses me more. Tone on tone striped walls or just tans with reds or all one color. The rest of my house is tan with red accents. Should I really keep the boys room the same? I have been thinking all day about the blues. My thoughts are...I cannot do the dark blue so maybe the light blue from the stripe on the bed? Then the dresser and maybe the headboards painted red? What do ya'll think of this idea? Oh, and on each wall that a bed is on paint a red box and hang the pictures in that area. Or Tan walls all over with red dresser, red curtains and then on one wall a bed is on paint one dark blue box with red matted pictures and the other wall paint a red box with with dark blue matted pictures. This one sounds confused but this is the one that is very clear in my mind. I wish I had photoshop to show everyone but I'm not one of the lucky ones....See Morewhat color would you paint this living room?
Comments (7)If that color works with your furniture and decor, then I would keep it. Gray is not going to look good with your warm palette. If you want to go with a green color, that would work. The linen curtains will look great--just make sure you hang them high up enough, just under the crown molding. And make sure that they just touch the floor without puddling. Good idea to remove the "HOME" sign! A good place to look for art, especially well-priced original art, is on Etsy. Lots of great options there!...See MoreWhat color would you paint this room?
Comments (35)simplechoices 1. I am trying to choose between these two beddings: or I think the last (colorful) bedding choice I posted previously is fun - but I would prefer longevity - perhaps more neutral, more calming/relaxing. That one might be too stimulating. There is a good chance we may move in a few years - so I definitely need pieces not too bold that could work in various settings and I definitely prefer longevity! 2. I agree with you on the bed - I really like the overall shape of that headboard (finally found one without those metal round bead looking things), and color. Only con to this specific bed is it states the queen is 86''W (though a queen mattress is 60'') and people complained of excess gaps. Was hoping to find something similar but with storage drawers underneath just to increase storage - but haven't found anything like that quite yet. Found some other similar looking beds that I think would work (but a more reasonable width) so no gaps: Option A: ("Kegler") Option B ("Tappahannock"): 3. All my door knobs, light fixtures throughout the entire house is satin nickel. (bathrooms are all chrome and the guest downstairs bathroom is directly off this bedroom). I have no brass/gold anywhere. Would you mind suggesting some lighting/art, etc like you did previously but with satin nickel/silver scheme? (or can I have one room in the house with gold)?? 4. Re: the ceiling light - While very beautiful and I like the style, I don't know that that fixture you showed would provide any more light than the one that is currently in my room. I thought one goal was to have a stronger (ceiling) light. All our bedrooms have ceiling fans except this one - could I put a ceiling fan in here (with good lighting)? I find they are nice to have in bedrooms. 5. Re: the wall sconce light - would one with a movable arm be okay (in the event someone wanted task lighting to read while in bed)? 6. Re: the rug - while that's a great way to tie in more colors, I don't think I can do it - I have family who don't pick up their feet well (for medical purposes) and would easily trip on it - so can't do rug over carpet. Any other suggested ways to tie in all the colors? 7. For a bench - I was going to put one by the window in the corner to provide seating - something like this? (they have multiple colors: "Casillas Upholstered Bench") 8. Here is a rough drawing of how I thought I'd lay the room out: (Showing bed, night stand, plug-in wall sconces, bench, small (likely 25'' wall mounted TV)...See Morekbear_15
