What color walls and bedding would enhance this headboard?
I am finally ready to redo th guestroom. I want to keep the headboard and dust ruffle. I am thinking about white bedding and a bright, happy red on the walls and a bright white ceiling. There is a great deal of white in the room ( double window white plantation shutters and double white closet doors.) I know I could do a neutral tan on the walls. But, I am a little afraid of it being a little boring. I will be replacing the side tables too I would love to get some feedeback.

last yearThat plaid is quite the statement. Not sure I would like a red guest room; I think red would overpower the plaid. I would do a pale sage on the walls and pale-yellow bedding.

What color curtains & headboard for bedroom? (pics)
Comments (4)Ooo great ideas, thank you so much!! The bedding is Abigail Paisley by Crate & Barrel. I got it right before they sold out about a year ago. I love the turquoise idea, but am unsure how to pull it off. Would I replace existing pillows? Print, textured, or solid? Sorry for the dumb questions, but this is my first house and IâÂÂm new at this. =) Absolutely love the drapes/bamboo combo idea! I had been tossing around the idea of that type/color drapes alone, but I think the addition of the bamboo shades would really make it. Something like this, perhaps? And 2 regular panels per window, or ? That is a gorgeous (& pricey!) headboard. Probably way beyond my ability to make, haha. What about something more rectangular (and easier to make, lol) like this? Too simple? And yes, larger rectangular nightstands would be definitely be better! Should I get rid of the chair in the corner and get nightstands that are about the width of the windows, or would that be too big? White/cream furniture or some sort of wood color? IâÂÂm also really liking the area rug idea. A great way to cover the icky carpet and add more interest to the room! (IâÂÂm planning on eventually replacing the carpet with hardwood or laminate, but I gotta save up first!) Thanks for your suggestions and patience with my questions. :-D...See MoreAsymmetrical headboard wall design dilemma
Comments (18)You have done such a great job! any chance you can get another lamp like the one on the left nightstand? Good size and shape. check out halfpricedrapes.com great quality and price for beautiful readymade drapes... makevsure to hang your rod just below the ceiling..as high as you can..and extend the rod 12” on each side so measure window and add 24” to length of rod....See Morepicture for wall above headboard
Comments (79)Hi it's been awhile but I've finally got the bedding for my bed and I love it. I've also put my old oak wooden dresser and night tables back in the room with the black headboard. The furniture has black handles on it. I've also put the old lamps back too. My question is what do you think and should I put the mirror above my bed or look for something else? Also should I use these curtain panels or just blinds no panels? I'm also going to put a rectangular mirror with a black frame above the dresser. Do you have any suggestions on how to decorate the top of the dresser....See MoreNeed a wall color for a blue headboard
Comments (5)Choose sheets, throws, throw pillows, curtains, and art first. Try to find a multicolored item that you love, and pull a wall color from that. Yellows look beautiful with blue, I’d consider something in the family of beach sand....See More

last yearlast modified: last yearYour headboard reminds me of Scot Meacham Wood, a designer who loves using tartan fabrics. A few of his rooms … a search will bring up more:
Lovely olive green —
A sort of red clay color, it was a custom mix —
A nice blue behind the tartan chair —
A dramatic look I saw on IG (sorry, I don’t know the source) —
Just showing for the colors, as I don’t know your style or what look you’re going for. If you like traditional, Ralph Lauren is another I’d search for inspiration.If you’re wanting a more subtle palette, I’d use a soft, warm color on the walls and neutral bedding and curtains. You could bring in more color/patterns with pillows and other textiles. But I do love the styles above. :)
A more neutral look:
ETA: From House Beautiful, an example of mixing in floral patterns. As long as the colors coordinate, it can be a great look:
It just depends on what styles you like, elements in the room, and other factors.maggie216 thanked JillyJilly
