Now that we've shared our new Master Bedroom paint color, it's time to clue you in to our design scheme!
Ready for... Bitter Chocolate with gold, bright red, and navy blue!?!
It does sound crazy, BUT, how cute does this look?
It is funny, if anyone said to me "How about a dark brown with gold, bright red, and navy blue accents?" I would have thought it sounded awful. But I can't think of anything more different and perfect for the room my husband and I share!
Here's our blank slate...
The whole idea started from an article in House Beautiful. They used the "simplicity of blues" with dark brown paneled walls. The image that struck me the most was the brown + geranium red photo at the bottom right. |

After seeing that, I found more images of dark browns with pops of red or navy blue...

Fun and different right???

Small black leather storage ottoman
DIY Projects (tentative- pending what we find):
Making a headboard out of an old door in our basement
Find and redo a french/ formal styled chair

Recently I was takinga nap with a dark burgundy throw we have on my bed which has a dark chocolate brown duvet. I accidentally discovered these two colors together look great! Like a red velvet cake.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your room will look great!
Hey Carla! It looks beautiful! Where is the rug from in your idea board?

Hey there! I just found your blog, and I love it so far! I LOVE your new dark color on the walls (so bold but still cozy), and I can't wait to see how it turns out!

Do you know what would make your room look super super posh. Wall pannels. And they are super easy to do. Paint over them in the same colour as your walls so it is a subtle but really glam effect. Sheryle
