queen bedroom white house
image
Yogi
I'm moving into a new house, and my master bedroom is totally white right now... a blank palette! I have a few large windows, vaulted ceilings, and black furniture, mainly a large armoire for my TV, a black queen bed, and black nightstands. I like feminine colors and sheer fabrics... but what can I do for decorating? I feel like the black will make everything look too harsh and can't afford all new bedroom furniture right now.
Thanks!

Black is a very versatile "colour" that happens to be very trendy now. You have many choices in terms of colour schemes.
Light blues ranging from powder blue to robin's egg, pale grey-blue, green-blue all work well with black furniture. White, ivory, certain shades of brown, or grey can be used as accent/trim colour and accessories in glass (cut glass to look like crystal), mirror, lacy patterns and textures, and stainless steel or chrome would work perfectly.
Dark pinks and pink-purples (fuchsia, raspberry, pale plum-like shades) would work well too. Accessories can be similar to above, or white or ivory with a heavier style to them to make them "pop" against the darker colour scheme.
Many other colours will also work wonderfully. Some to consider are: cafe au lait type neutrals, greens (think celery), silvery grey, terra cotta and gold with rattan accents...
A good trick to pulling highly contrasting colours together is to use a layered-look whenever possible. Sheer curtains can be trimmed with fabric trim (an easy do-it-yourself project), beaded strands and fabric trim can be glued on to the bottom of a lamp shade, use framed art with wider mats around them and even frames with 2 colours (silver and black would be great).
You can also conceal some of the black of the furniture (although you really don't have to) by draping a throw over the foot-board of the bed, placing a table-runner to match your bedding over the dressers and/or nightstands, and so on.
Good luck and enjoy the new house!

How can I decorate a yellow bedroom?
Malissa
So my family and I have moved into a new house that we are renting, (because we moved to a different country). And every single room in the whole house is this mustard-y light yellow, except the bathrooms which are white. And the carpets are bright red... Anyway, my room has a built in wardrobe and comes with a queen bed.
How can I decorate it? I've been searching pinterest or ages and havent found something I really love.

try search in yahoo images and put in yellow bedroom. since you cant paint get some gluon board or plywood large enough to cover the wall behind the headboard from ceiling to bed and paint it in paisley or scroll design behind the bed. A black moon chair or flip chair with silver and turquoise décor with either white or white and black or solid black curtains and a nice rug. I would buy a new rug or put in laminate wood flooring which I am sure the landlord would agree to let you do but definitely cover the red carpet that's really bad. other than that I am out of any ideas but black to match both yellow and REDK? really? wow
