But Besides Paint… Rooms from Your View

We’ve been talking a lot about paint lately, but there’s so much more that goes into decorating a room. And while paint and color are my passions and inspirations, using your passions to create a plan for your home is a great place to start. Here are some rooms (on my fav online shelter mags- Rue and Lonny) that might get your started…

Whether you love flowers, floral prints, or just happen to fall in love with a quirky floral chair like this one, bring your passion to the center of the arrangement and keep the surrounding elements simple and clean.

Even a crazy collection like this one, of magazine flowers and dogs, can work if it's done well like this hilarious water closet.

If you have a sense of humor, collect stamps, or just to have a little fun, an attention grabbing piece like this mkaes the rest of the room easy to dress.

Who knew a hunting theme could be so elegant! Check out the animal quilt on the bed, the antler, and other nature details on the side tables... Gorgeous!

If you fall in love with a major statement piece like this headboard, put a strong color behind it to show it off. This navy paint color is amazing, but any color would look amazing here!

Why not show off an amazing collection of shoes! If you can keep them tidy and create a cool display, they can be a major element in a super cool room.

 

If what you really love is pattern- then use it, embrace it, celebrate it... and to really make it a successful theme, vary t he size and color for rich interesting layers that will all go together.

If it's a color that always captures your attention, then play with variations of that color- lighter, darker, more yellow or more blue- and put together a whole room in your favorite hue.
