guest room ideas..
Permalink Closed

currently my guest room has striped walls in tan and ivory. I would like to add some color or depth to the room - what does everyone think about these together?

Can anyone suggest any artwork that would go with this? Something eclectic ...

Very nice. That print will lend a freshness to the stripes while still minding its formality. Reminds me of a skirt I once had. :)

I absolutely love it!

p.s. I'm really not a decorator at all so this is a shot in the dark, but I love photography and I could sort of see how photographs with some rich sunset-y colors could look great. I subscribe to National Geographic in part for their great photographs and I know you can order prints from them online -- it might be worth checking out. I have this one just to give you an idea of the sort of thing:

The prints on those items are vaguely ethnic to me, so that could be a direction. Picking up on the orange and yellow is a great idea for the art. (Orange and blue being complements). Some dark teak chunky candleholders or wall plaques could work too.

If I could make an unsolicited suggestion, the most popular piece in my guest room seems to be the hotel-style luggage rack. I would mos' def have one even just folded up in the closet. One of my frequent visitors uses it for her laptop.

Allie- There are a few items with these colors and a similar style at Anthro. I saw them today--don't know if things are different in your region, but you might wanna take a look.

That stuff looks great. All I can think for artwork is red and yellow floral paintings.
