Curtain and accent colour?

9 years ago

We've painted the bedroom in F&B pale powder, dark walnut furniture, grey headboard and white linen. Really struggling to finish the room off, particularly curtains and accent colours on the bed. Any thoughts welcome - I just don't have the eye! :-(

I would use lavender and plum, also larger lamps with white shades to show the true color of the room, the yellow shades are not doing it any justice

The cosiness is not being helped by the coffee table and the wooden 70's style sofa. Remove those and paint to match the grey sofa. Then add in a nice plush footstool, some accent colour cushions. Maybe re-instate the fireplace and move the T.V up? Put in a rug to match the accent cushions, and also think about changing the curtains to the accent colour too. Raspberry, Turquoise and mustard will all work well with the sofa, the biscuit of the carpet and the walls.Add back in the footstool and rug

You could add a number of things to help bring life to the room. You have chosen the perfect muted colour scheme that will complement lots of art work and colours. From your photos I would say you could add a large mirror above the fire place- you could go for something to complement the period of the property and fireplace or something slightly more industrial would work as it looks like you are already mixing contemporary and period with your choices of furniture and finishes. Art will be a huge help as well. Choose some large and smaller pieces to compliment the size of the room- you look like you enjoy your music and media (from the large tv and speakers) maybe some repro or original posters of favourite films? Or framed vinyl covers of you favourite albums. Pick things that you aesthetically connect with. Art is personal and should be something you enjoy every time you look at it, so pick pieces because you like them. It doesn’t need to be expensive. You could also think about a statement clock in the room as well. Lots of options I would say. Do not feel limited by a particular colour scheme with the art- go with things you enjoy looking at. For the sofa -with throws-mimic nature- stick to earthy tones grey browns you can pick up lots of cosy throws in these colours or animal Hyde type colours or actual Hyde’s...and once you have chosen your art- find cushions that are different sizes and textures (not leather) to help soften the look of the sofa and draw the eye away from its shape and on to the cushions! Or go with the nature theme and embrace the animal Hyde’s colours and it will all tie in with the leather. Of course these suggestions depend on personal preference but there are lots of ideas on houzz and pictures that can help with inspiration...hope my suggestions are of use!!
