Design Direction: MASTER BEDROOM WALL PAPER TOO YELLOW?
Working with a nice lady who helped me chose a grass cloth.
I was hesitant but have lots of navy & soft Greens and golds in the other room
Modern designs with whites and soft aquas. I really said I will be open minded.
Here is the picture of my current room. I am not loving it and do not want to prounciate
the yellow. I would love it to disapear in the backdrop.
What are my options.
Thank you for any input. I purchase Uttermost lights and the shades do have a warmer look
it bothered me in the beginning but thought they would tone down with wallpaper and instead
I actually do not like the way the yellow came out. Its loses the pattern of the silver . You do not see it and the seams show up alot. I am so disapointed and the lady that is helping me wants me to
order a yellow gold rug . I just stopped. I am frozen with why keep going when I do not like it where the yellow is taking over the room
South west exposure.
Please help with any suggestions on how to downplay the yellow.
Other colors I can use . I have 2 beautiful pillows which are cloud nine and the woman tryed
to use those in the room because I had them and they cost so much.
Thank you for all input

last yearlast modified: last yearSorry but that wall paer does not work with anything in the space is the bottom pic a close up of the wallpaper? Ilove those pillows maybe a darker tone of the purple would help for the bedding. Then the same tone for drapes .If it was my wall I would wait 2 weeks for the wallpepr to dry properly and then I would apint it or right now I would remove it and please do not use that lady again. I must say I do not seeany of the colors like white and aqua in anything in the space . Take the plastic off the shades and get LED 4000K bulbs to tone down the yellow. I usually use the bedding to start a color scheme in a bedroom so why did you choose a wallpaper that was yellow if you wanted whites and aqua. Tell the nice lady thank you I can do the rest myself .To me the night tables are not a good fit with the lamps or the bed what is the color of that trim on those > I see a lot of gray and silver so maybe now fly with a differnt color palette , I do love thos pillows so maybe like I mentioned use shades of mauve and silver and gray could be quite lovely and then when ready to paint that wall just a shade of mauve so pale almost white it will need 2 coats of primer then the paint it will add a lot of texture to the wall so not all bad. Then some nice plae gray frapes and some gray piloows along with thos eother ones .

last yearlast modified: last yearThank you Patricia I let her talk me into it. I found out after when I bought it . I was sad to see the man hand her a check. I payed 1400.00 to buy and to tear down the next day. I hated it. I am so so mad that I let her convince me it was going to be as she said"DREAMY". It was dreamy but my dreams were night mares. Please help me now start fresh. I orderd that bed because I sold my house in hamptons and wanted my old bedroom set . In that beach house it was gorgeous. Here 5 years later and special order it is very cheap version and I cannot change . My husband wants to keep it. I agree I didnt want the night stands husband wanted nightstand.s If I did anything It would be to paint over the grey inside with shabby paints. But lets move forward. Now that I tore it down. I have a blank canvas. I feel like a fool to trust her decorator;s advice and go against my gut feeling yellow was always wrong. Here are my related spaces right from the living room you can see this and the yellow was garrish and it looked like baby diaper gold. lol MY whole original theme was to do an amazing wallpaper that made you go wow! I still can because they took off the wallpaper and it is preppred now for wall paper or I have to prep for paint (more costly but I can go that way)
My condo on the beach I forget to mention it was california king and I orderd just king and it looks so little kids and this looked gorgeous in my beach home.

Comments (28)Artwork should be about 2/3 width of bed; queen bed is 60 inches so go for something around 40 inches wide? Can be one or two pictures, but one big pic is generally easier to hang etc. Target, Ross, World Market, TJ Maxx all have nice big art that might work....just look for cream not ultra white in the art; and if it makes your hear sing, go for it......any type would probably work in the room....the corners will get taken are of. Get the bed and nightstands in place and curtains hung, (check out Houzz.com or youtube to see how and where to hang curtains before you go shopping so you have an idea of what is what) This room has oil rubbed bronze curtains with long curtains, check for your room, large print over the bed, check, lamps are taller than headboard, which is a look you want, check and you could do lamps in your chosen accent color, cream, silver, brass. first and see if you like it; one decision generally means you might have two options or none for the next decision....the curtains will frame the room and soften the window angles and if the curtain color is similar to headboard it will give the room a more cohesive look; you want items to look like they go together....even when not a perfect match; avoid perfect match, rather blend is better I think. Here is another room.....large dark curtain rod, curtains hung behind bed and nightstand as an example. Quirky corner decor and corner windows with interesting curtain placement......lamps same height as headboard counting finials! Nicely made bed that relates to wall color; an idea you might consider if you cannot find curtains to match head board....a lot of cool ideas in room you might want to consider.....love the tiny chair in front of the plant stand..... PS I went to more info for this picture and it seemed that the client had the sheets already and matched/blended the paint color to the sheets.....so another custom look for little investment.....fun room with quirky corner! Good luck....See MoreMaster Bedroom Design Help
Comments (39)wow, you have been busy. its looking great and 100% agree that the new nightstand and moving the tall dresser away from the sleeping area made such a big difference. the art above the bed is great too. the bench below the window in the office area also made a huge difference. as for the color change for the dressers, I wonder if white will wash out the room a bit as you have a lot of light colors like the wall color and carpet. i still like the idea of using the color of the blue console in the office on other pieces. a darker or brighter color will pop a bit more against the wall color... another idea to bring some more pattern or texture in the room is to use wallpaper on the drawer fronts and paint the rest of the piece, maybe in this case you could paint the piece white....See MoreI need help designing my Master Bedroom!
Comments (86)So I lost the opportunity on that dresser. Apparently a friend was refinishing the top and his wife fell in love with it. I’ll keep my eye out for something similar. The sad thing is, that one was a well known brand. So I felt I was getting good quality. This one showed up and I like it…it’s half the price but no brand or stamp mentioned. So I’m guessing quality might not be there. But looks good, right? The drawers are dovetailed and he says they glide well....See MoreMaster Bedroom + Bath Renovation Design Help
Comments (81)I think you chose the best layout by picking the one Karen drew. Are you considering two pocket doors? If you have two 2'6" you will have interference between the two if the main door is 2'6" too. I recommend that you avoid that interference, I find it just too annoying to have that little part of the main door that is in the way when you enter and exit the closet. You have to walk around that part of the door which means you might as well have a 2'2" door ... that would be the space you have left to walk between the frame of the door. See below. If you really want two 2'6" doors then I recommend two pocket doors or the closet door being 2'2". I am guessing the placement of the toilet in the layout below and I am not sure you are going with a free stand tub or not....See More- PRO

last yearlast modified: last yearAre you set on keeping the lamps? The shades worked well with the old wallpaper and floor. Just wondering if they can be changed. I would find a wallpaper to match the surrounding walls. Will try to find options but will be hard to match without seeing in your room with your furnishings. Here are some paints to give you an idea on general color to look for:
