Help me pick color for bedroom
Comments (3)BM Kennebunkport Green SW Khaki Shade Blues with dark brown screams Grandma to me, but I'm probably biased since my own had this color scheme. Would you consider orange? Not pumpkin or loud or gawdy, but a nice subtle mature classy looking orange? I have links saved on my computer at home with some examples of stunning oranges that the average person wouldn't think of as a wall color but once you see the pics they're quite adorable. Sherwin William has some nice subtle orange colors if you want to take a look at their color palette. It would also brighten up the room nicely. Here is a link that might be useful: This orange is nice...See MorePlease help me pick a sofa table for my bedroom
Comments (19)Hello Everyone! Thank you so much for all of your suggestions!! Les917 - I wondered if anyone would mention that space between the pictures! Actually I'll be mounting 3 sea stars in that space, I'm just waiting for them to arrive. teacats - I love the idea of a mirror over the dresser. It definately needs something. We've only been in our home since Sept. so we've just started to mount pictures and decorate the walls. I love the idea of the tall thin black lamps to frame the mirror. I'm not sure yet where I want the photo that is currently over the dresser. It's not mounted because I haven't felt like it belongs there. I'm not sure about putting anything above the bed. The bed is so imposing that I have been afraid that adding anything more above it, would just magnify that. Because the headboard is so high, it just seems to me that adding something above it would be overkill. The ceiling in that alcove was done that way by the builder. It is textured just like the room ceiling is, so I am thinking that it was designed to be ceiling. The plan had an overhead ceiling light in that space that we did not choose to go with. If I leave the photos as they are, add the mirror and black lamps to the dresser, and decide to go with 2 matching nightstands...what color should I go with? Black, white? Thanks!...See MoreHelp me pick my guest bedroom colors please!
Comments (3)Does "middle age guy" refer to you or your guest(s)? Are you designing for (mostly) one particular guest, or will your guests be more diverse? Generally, I think guest bedroom decor should be broadly appealing, inoffensive, and not terribly taste specific. Something that neither one's 90 year old grandma nor one's 14-year-old nephew would find unappealing. A happy medium. Maybe I'm not visualizing what you have in mind, but I don't think I would find silver/peach appealing (not a huge peach fan to start with, so take that with a grain of salt). I'd probably avoid silver (and other metallics) entirely (except in lamps and accessories) because they read glam, which works against "broadly appealing."...See MorePrimary Bedroom Window Dilemma (EDIT: Help Me Style & Furnish?!)
Comments (11)A couple of thoughts: Maybe hang wide curtains/draperies flanking the window behind the bed, so the bed is backed for its whole width rather than "hanging out" beyond the window? The molding frames on each side of the window would then need to be narrower (to my eyes, anyway), so they are entirely visible beyond the curtains. Something like this? (Not decor suggestions particularly, just showing how the bed wall might be arranged.) Plan the picture frame molding placement carefully, because it will determine size and placement of everything else in the room: furniture, art, mirrors, lamps, etc. Your inspiration photo feels beautifully "right" because everything relates perfectly to the moldings. I love picture frame molding, but it does constrain you....See MoreS M
