All my life I’ve been a pink and purple girl, but recently, I’ve been infatuated with mustard, turquoise, and any shade of green (especially olive green and emerald).
I gave my last client two color scheme options for her space: mustard/turquoise or pink/black/white/gold. She went with pink, and ever since then, I’ve been thinking about yellow and turquoise.
Here’s what I came up with:
Seriously, how gorgeous would this room be???? The dresser is from One Kings Lane, so if you are interested, you better go snatch it up!
I love these shades of green and yellow. Many times when I see rooms using turquoise and yellow, the room seems very fun and youthful. Although I love those rooms, too, for this design I wanted a more grown up, sophisticated look. I went with a darker shade of yellow (almost mustard-y) and a more muted shade of turquoise (in the pillows and dresser) instead of really bright shades. The upholstered bed and furry director’s chair soften up the hard lines of the other furniture. The one thing that I wish I would have added is a tree or other plant. I believe every room should have some kind of greenery in it.
If you need help coming up with a design for YOUR bedroom (or any other room), see my local services available to New Orleans residents or my online decorating services to those outside of the area.
So, what’s your thoughts on this bedroom design? Leave me a comment below!
Till next time,

Very Nice! I do love that dresser. I am a brown and tan boring person, but they way you have all the layers of color, I could see that room in my house.

Love the mustard yellow rug! It’s the only yellow that looks good on me and if it looks good on me, it’s going to make its way into my house!
Actually, I like the entire bedroom, especially the headboard. That mirror is fab, too!

Hehe!
I am the same way, Alli. I tend to be drawn to use colors in my home that I think look good on me. I think we all may do this subconsciously.
