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!

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.

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.
