I was called by a client to update her college graduate's room several months ago. The only start to the room was a fresh coat of soft gray paint. That was my inspiration, and it didn't take long to come up with some cool fresh colors and pattern direction...I guess you won't be surprised to hear that chartreuse was my choice!
Obviously, the room had not been changed since this young adult was a young girl. It's a common design issue that we often find! Just look at what a few simple changes and a moderate Restyle service did for the room! The budget was also moderate and I think you'll love the results!
I absolutely love the graphic patterns and contrasting colors. My client picked up this fabulous little mohair pillow and throw and it was a great addition!
The bedding is from a great collection of machine washable ensembles. There is a great range of patterns and colors and the prices are great!
Often, a Restyle involves rearranging the room. I made the change of putting the chest of drawers on the side wall and moving the bed towards the center of the room. The bed had been in the corner of a fairly large room prior to this. I needed room for the new drapery panels and in preparation for my favorite glamorous chandelier to be hung (yet to be done!), this move was the perfect solution. Note the dramatic mirror we used for a impact and functionality. Wow!
and in with the new! Never fear, the queen headboard will soon be fitted with a matching queen mattress!
Another view of the room with accessories, grommet ed drapery panels (very hip!), leather chair, new bookcases (check out the mirrored bottom doors and new desk lamp. Moving the chest of drawers to the other side made room for the chair and drapery panels. It also made the room more cozy and spacious at the same time. All of our client's favorite books and sentimental items were used in the room, so it's still personal and intimate.
Closeup of draperies and cool hardware! Chartreuse accents make the gray walls and white bookcases pop.
I managed to get some of my favorite oh-so-real while phaleanopsis orchids in the design! Oh, the drama and beauty.
And, I don't think we'll be missing this!
I hope you're loving this!

Love it! Great colors, great fabrics. I'm with Jess – there's nothing like before & afters.
I am loving that mirror and those book cases!
Love that so cool lamp and the drapery panels make a huge difference!
You've inspired me to want this color combo in my bedroom! The walls are already a pale grey, if you recall. Tell me more of the "affordable" washable bedding. LOVE it!
