Inspiration? Decorate!

posted in Decor |

I started out with this bedding (but queen sized) from Ikea… I LOVE the bold colors, the clean lines, and the fact that the duvet cover is reversible. The other side has a brown background, and still the branch+flowers.

So, when I moved to this apartment, I decided to take this as my feature piece and decorate around it in my bedroom.

I added some art (by me)…the lines look a lot cleaner in person, for some reason:

Curtains:

And a painted flowerpot accent:

And the room looks fabulous.

I like the idea but I’m not sure I’m crazy about how matchy it gets. Maybe a shot of the room would be more telling.

AV, the room is way fab. She’s got such simple/classic taste that it’s not too matchy at all.

A different take for someone who may not enjoy the “matchiness” might be to try using solid colors instead of matching the design that’s on the duvet. I think that would work well too.
