A Good Question

I recently received an email from Alicia - a sweet reader who is moving into a new home and wants some ideas for decorating her bedroom.  She's already purchased some beautiful cushions and would like to build a look around them.  I'll be the first to admit that I'm no interior decorator, but I love a good challenge and hope my little finds give you some ideas for decorating your own spaces.

To start with... I love the pillows that she chose, and wanted to pull out the small green elements to give the space a fresh creative feel.

For this room I would like to see some classic furniture pieces in black or white.  Using a decorative chair as a nightstand is a fun and unexpected way to keep things exciting (keep your bedside necessities arranged on a pretty tray set upon the seat).  The addition of textured white bed linens would look bright and inviting on the bed.  Layering textures and colors is a wonderful way to add drama and interest to any space, and I think that the white linens will give all the accessories the attention they deserve.

I hope this gives you some ideas.  Have fun decorating your new space Alicia!  I'm sure it will turn out beautifully!

*The Inspiration: Garden Patrol Seat Cushion in Red

1. Curtains: use two complimentary fabrics such as this Rhapsody in Cream Floral Stripe and this Coral Rhapsody Dot both by Windham Fabrics at Purl Soho, for a sweet preppy-boho look.
2. A one of a kind art piece such as this Branch and Yarn Wreath by The Constant Gatherer creates interest in a room and give the space a boutique-y feel.
3. Gabby Bedside Lamp at Pottery Barn.
4. Little details make a huge impact - Candle by Kobo at Burke Decor
5. Luis Upholstered Armchair from Ballard Designs - TIP: if you're on a budget try searching local thrift shops and estate sales for a chair that you like.  You can always have it reupholstered if the fabric is not to your liking.
6. Eileen Fisher Honeycomb Quilt at Garnet Hill

I think you did a great job Ez! I loved everything you picked out. My only contribution would be to not feel like you ONLY have to choose colors from the inspiration pillow. Sometimes choosing colors that are similiar or complimentary or even just a step or two down the color wheel can help really give a room a rich, layered feeling!
