Silver and black bedding?

by Katie
(Ontario)

There is a picture on here of a pink and black bedroom with a silver and black bed spread....it has the black chandelier in it.

Just wondering if anyone know where I can buy one?

Hi Katie

The picture appears on my site here...

It seems a very popular style - and I often get asked questions about it. I do think it is lovely!

Here are some similar chandeliers:

I hope these help give you some ideas and inspiration - and you can find one to suit.

Best wishes

Silver and Black Bedding

Haven't been on this site for a couple of weeks so I'm just now reading this blog. You know me, I am into decorating on a chicken feed budget:)

I would haunt the thrift shops or Good Will for a similar looking chandelier, invest in some black paint, a re-wiring kit, and some crystal from a craft shop and do it myself.

Charlotte, hope this idea doesn't cost you a commission :(

Get Busy with beads

Thanks Val - some great ideas!

You can make a great and unique lighting piece with some lovely beads, or even glass baubles, hung on a cheaper piece.

No don't worry Val - the commission is incidental - good ideas will always come first here!

Charlotte :o)

hi! I love this room and I am using it as my inspiration for my bedroom in my apartment. I am just having a lot of trouble finding bedding that resembles the bedding in the picture.

I was wondering if that bedding is custom made or any ideas on what I can do to get something reasonably priced that looks closer to that pattern.

thanks- Dani :)

Hi Jennifer

Glad you like the room!

I'm afraid I don't know the exact color name or make of this room - but here are a few suggestions for you to try:

All by Sherwin Williams:

-Pink Moment
-Tuberose
-Jaipur Pink
-Pink Flamingo
-Coming Up Roses
-Memorable Rose

By Behr:

Color swatches: 120B, 130B, 140B

Colors look different in different rooms, depending on the light you have in the room, so you can never tell exactly the effect that a particular color will have, until you have tried it out on the wall...

...so get a couple of testers of the ones you like, and just try them out in the room, to get a feel for it.

Remember that by the time you have painted a whole wall, or even a whole room, the color usually tends to appear darker than on your tester patch - so bear this in mind, and if in doubt go for something similar but a shade or two lighter, depending on the effect you want to create in your room.

Colors can also appear very different when viewed on the computer screen - so, basically, try it out in the room first, to make sure you are getting what you want!

Good luck with your color decisions! An with your room makeover - you'll soon have a gorgeous room you'll love!

Best wishes

Charlotte :)

Hi - I think a lovely soft carpet sounds perfect for a bedroom.

There are several color options you could try, depending on the final look you'd like to achieve.

You could pick up on the black, gray and silver tones in the scheme - although be careful with a black carpet - unless it is very good quality, it could look cheap, and will show the bits - a lot! It will also darken the whole feel of the room.

A deeper brown could also work well as an alternative to black, depending on if you have a few other brown-type or wood tones in the room.

A lighter silver, or gray, color carpet could bring out those silvery accents, and give a lighter feel to the room - it may get dirty if you allow outdoor shoes or pets in there, though.

You could go with the pink tones - lighter or darker - depending on the look you want to achieve. You could try going a little more red, so that you aren't enveloped in too much pink...

It's not a major feature of the room, but look at the red-toned curtain in the photo - it gives a nice extra dimension to the color scheme.

Otherwise, a very neutral cream, oatmeal or beige is a simple, basic color, that will go with anything you choose, and could also be adapted for other color schemes in the future.

Lighter colors tend to make the space feel lighter, brighter and larger, and darker colors, the opposite. Darker colors can be useful to 'ground' a paler scheme, though.

You could go with a pale or plain carpet and add a pinky or gray/silver patterned rug, to save your carpet getting too dirty in high traffic areas - as another option.

If you do choose a patterned rug or carpet, try to make sure the style of the pattern fits with the overall style and feel of the scheme, too.

I hope some of those suggestions help.

Good luck with your makeover.

Best wishes

The sexy bedroom picture in red

by Ashley
(Keller Texas USA)

The red wall... Is that wallpaper or custom paint because it looks like it also has either brown or maroon.

Also can you tell me where the bed frame and beddings is from by chance?

I love this look.

Some suggestions:

Hi Ashley

I think the picture you are talking about is the second one down on my page here...?

It looks like the paint is probably custom mixed, or even a decorative finish, to get that 'olde worlde' feel.

You may be able to find a wallpaper with a similar effect, or get your local DIY store to mix a similar color for you.

I'm afraid I don't know exactly where the bed and bedding in the photo are from, but I've looked around to find something similar to suggest for you...

Take a look at some products I found, below....
