Home Decorating Design Dilemma Bedrooms

Help please! What sort of /canvas would you put with this pattern?

4 years ago

I have a very simple bedroom (all white) with cushions and 2 lamp shades in this pattern (aswell as a yellow throw and chair)...I'm looking for a canvas to put on the wall to link...does anyone have any suggestions on what would look right/match as I won't find one with exactly the same pattern I don't think! Thanks in anticipation :-)

The floral pattern looks to have a vintage almost retro vibe about it. With a light and bright colour scheme I might look for something simple like a black and white print as mentioned or even a pencil drawing. Or how about some brass wall art or mirror? The yellow tones of brass would echo the yellow elsewhere in the room (one in pic is from Rockett st George). Or how about some ducks 🦆? Kind of thinking of the vintage flying ducks but came across a trio of budgies which I thought were really fun and I love the cute little duckling print☺️. Of course art is subjective and there Is a huge amount of choice so choose something that you love. Sites like Etsy and Not on the High St are great for artists work and Desinio has lots of simple prints.

It would be best to take a photo of the whole room as you say you have a yellow chair, I think that might be the boldest thing in your room. These cushions, although they have pattern, are actually quite small so they are not going to be the main part of the scheme.

It's quite an old chair so might get rid of it anyway as does clog up the room a bit.....think something to go on the wall would be better :-)

hello bonnielynn75 and THANK YOU! your comment put a smile on my face re the red on the interior side of the door. It IS red on the inside as well, he insisted on that when we purchased it. no one here has it red on the inside and I wanted it to be white on the inside. do you see my dilemma?;) I agree with everything you are saying, I suppose this is the reason why so far I was not 100% sure about the black for the door either, although I like black...Agree, there is too much wall and I find the house to be looking a bit 'bland' and would like to change that. I LOVE shutters, but read somewhere that you never put shutters on wide windows, so got unsure about that, too...but perhaps just the one as I stated earlier. Would the color on that shutter be the same as the door (if I ever settle on a door color)? Unfortunately window boxes are not an option as we have quite a few cats and they may be used as litter boxes;) please don't tell me to get rid of the cats;)... Regarding the stoop (entrance) : we need to add another step (made of cement) on top of the existing step: it was removed when the new door was fitted. We were thinking of putting slate tiles or something dark to match the roof, if that makes any sense.... It is porous cement so unsuitable for painting, I think. What place in Ireland did you visit, we are close to the Irish Sea in the country surrounded by sheep;)...

Seeing it as an almost whole, I do think now that I like the soft, patterned curtain for the room. It could become overly severe, and that would be enough to stop that happening. Second thought, you don't need a side table for the sectional, but you do need something there to hold a lamp -- silver or glass would probably be best. The stand could be very plain, a box shape, even, in the same finish as the wood you already have. I liked these from wayfair.com -- though I might change the shades on a couple of them. Not that they're bad. The last one is an alternative approach if you fancy a bit of colour a-poppin'.

Thanks, is the light bouncing off it? I would go with the yellow as your accent in small doses. Bright yellow is obviously in fashion at the moment but could be expensive to replace when out of fashion so stick to cushions etc. you could do the walls in a light grey as it looks as if they could take it and choose navy or purple as your secondary colour (or turquoise/teal would work as above) for cushions, rug, accessories etc or even try a feature wallpaper. These are fairly classical colours so won't date. Try lamps etc in classical shapes (urns, ginger jars etc) so you can just change the shade when needed

Wow, I didn't expect so many responses, thank you so much for your time and ideas. I do know that the art is wrong but had to put something up from our last house while we settle in. I do find the fireplace a bit un-friendly and so I would consider changing the colour of it even just the border of it like one of the photos shows. I'm not keen on the small computer cabinet or the ladder shelving I have to admit. I was thinking more of putting 3 full width cherry wood shelves, bottom one being wider and desk height, changing the light fittings to down lights and maybe having a wallpaper or painted backdrop behind the shelves?? I realise I would have to get rid of or change the wallpaper on the other wall and change the curtains too. I take your point, many of you said it, about the curtains needing to fall straight, but I will need a wider pole to do that. Again many thanks, AnnaMarie ps we are in Ireland now but lived in australia for many years and that picture over the mantle is of an old aussie shed with moon light on it.

A large black and white photo would be a good contrast but not clash with the vibrant colours.

What about something like this? I remember seeing a post about these and saved the email address. Its enquiries@thepurplepetal.co.uk. They had loads of amazing designs posted on here a while back.

Yes, I would recommend the purple petal, I have seen these in real life and they are a real statement piece!
