FRESH, CHEERFUL BEDROOM
SPA-LIKE BATHROOM
1 Start with colorful fabric. This modern botanical weaved-print includes hues of raspberry, robin’s egg blue and mustard green. Against white bedding and chairs, the colors and patterns really pop.
1 Begin with beautiful, unique glass tile. This enticing shower has exquisite glass and stone tile. To offset the cost of glass tile, use it only as an accent on one wall, and select less expensive subway tiles on other walls.
2 Select timeless furniture with modern appeal. The sleek posts and brushed-nickel finials on this Kincaid bed put a modern twist on the traditional 4-post bed.
2 Combine stock cabinets with custom. To provide extra storage and functional seating, I designed a custom 2-drawer bench to connect the vanities.
3 Always include seating. Positioned in front of the wide window, these Flexsteel chairs provide a space for reading and rest. If you don’t have much space, try a small bench or ottoman.
NEUTRAL LIVING ROOM WITH A SPLASH 1 Launch the room with larger furniture in neutral colors like white, cream or beige. Add pattern and texture with a distinctive fabric like the upholstery on these Robin Bruce chairs flanking the fireplace. This dark brown patterned rug grounds the space.
3 Use indoor/outdoor fabric for custom treatments. The custom roman shade and bench seat are fabricated from mildrew- and waterresistant fabric.
2 Create a focal point. This modular IKEA wall unit is an affordable way to create a custom look. The wall behind is painted Luau Green (SW6712) as an accent. Hang an inspiring painting to pull your colors together.

3 Layer fabrics. Each pillow in this room is a different color, pattern and texture. Be creative – have fun and throw out the “rules!”
