Answer
It's not necessary to match the living room, bedroom and bathroom, even though you can, you might like this decorating design.

Place a contemporary accent rug in front of your sofa/under coffee table and pull the colors from the rug for pillows, accessories, curtains and wall art.
for ex.

Plants such as an ivy and spider plant add color and bring the outside in,
maintenance free, just water once a week, plus they purify the air

How to do create a beach bedroom?

Q. I want it to be relaxed, and with a slight nautical feel. The problem is, I have an attic bedroom, ith slanted ceilings, so Ican't paint my walls any other colour than white, or else it makes the room look smaller. Same with decorations, I can't hang any paintings, becaue I don't have ny vertical walls. my carpet is beige, and I have light brown furniture. What decorations which are becah themed could I use?? I'm putting sea glass in a jar, and wrap a ribbon around it, and I'm putting shells in a willow basket, which i'll hang from my ceiling, as it's only small. Any inspiration???? include any links etc. thanks for any sensible answers:)xxx

Answer
You do not have to stick to white. You just need to stick to light colours. A fresh ocean aqua marine (greeny blue) or a full on sky blue will set the first tone. White accents to bring in the classic beach house feel.

Woven rugs ... greens or medium brown. This should be at the foot of your bed or in the centre of the room.

Brown (woody brown with textured fabric), a nautical blue or white linen. This should help tie into your furniture.

If you can paint nicely ... you could try painting wispy clouds on your ceiling for something a bit more fun.

You should take a photo of your room. It's easier to help people if you know what the space and furniture colour really looks like
