mintedrose — Sun, 24 May 2020 05:49:11 GMT

I feel odd asking this but....Im decorating a new bedroom and would love some input. Im loving this new bed set and need some ideas to make the room more glam and cozy. Not sure if i should go for light pink curtains or white... bench or chair? Theres so much stuff online my heads spinning.

Im also looking for lamps, gold accents mirrors. Please let me know if you happen to see something that may compliment this style.

@mintedrose ECBG has an extensive design background, and knows just about everything related to decorating. She would be a wonderful resource!

Every picture I've seen is so well put together--everything from fashion to home decor. She has a very charming home, courtesy of her unique style, and I'm sure she would have some great recommendations.😊

That is a beautiful bed set. Nice start to build a room from. I have no ideas for you but have fun making this room your cozy retreat. ❤️

The only thing I can think of is going with a light gray curtain since it's a complement to pink. To me, that would make it cozy. I do hope ECBG chimes in, because I agree, she always has such great ideas.

It's a very pretty bed set. Nice choice!

@mintedrose Just my opinion...I would use a white curtain or a bottom up/top down blind and a window topper for color....and a chair with a nice throw over that chair that coordinates with the room.

The bedding is pretty, so I would not add any more pattern to the room.

I like gold accents...buying online is something I rarely do. If you are able to shop in a store, I'd go to a store and look at the items.

I have found that a room comes together slowly. I have never purchased everything for a room in just a few weeks....Have fun!!

@mintedrose :White or ivory curtains only. Whatever coordinates best with the background color of your comforter. Do you plan to paint? Probably Yes, Choose a neutral color with white trim, as deep as you like to go. I think a bedroom can go richer in hue than the public rooms of a house.

I like the idea of gold metal accents pieces. Bench or chair- your call based on the dimensions of the room. You can go for pink or any color you choose for this piece.

Enjoy the process. It's been over a year since I did my last project. I think the next one will be my bedroom, too- starting with having the dresser, chest , TV stand and tables painted.

@mintedrose I would add an antique looking large mirror (with gold trim) if you can find one. I would put it on a fancy stand and put it in the corner of the room. Definately go with the white curtains keeping it simple and fresh. IMO, too much window decor takes away from the beauty of the room and light coming in. Have fun!!! I love decorating, just a hobby for me. Enjou

@LindaSal @mintedrose If you find a mirror you love, you can always paint the frame gold. I did that with a mirror with an awful color wood frame, and painted it (with a brush) silver. I didn't even have to take it off the wall. I just put masking tape on the mirror around the frame and since it stuck out a little from the wall, just painted it where it hung.

It turned out fantastic, so don't be afraid of paint if you find something you like but in the wrong color.

I would also go with the white or ivory curtains, and would get a nightstand with gold metal legs and a white top. Pier 1 has some small tables with gold metal legs "Estelle Geometric Gold Nesting Tables" and they are having a big sale now because they are closing.

What color are the walls? If the walls are white or a neutral color I would pick light pink curtains. If grey, pink would be beautiful. If your walls are a print or bold color, then white curtains.

As far as bench or chair I think it depends on how you want to use it. For reading or relaxing I would go with a chair. If you need space to put things I would choose a bench. If just for decor, I think a bench looks good at the foot of a bed if the bed has no footboard.

I'd do dark rose/mauve curtains and hang them HIGH to the ceiling or close.

I'd add some sparkle in pillows, mirrors with gilt frames and keep it simple. The simpler the better.

Add a nice white chair with pillows the dark color of the drapes.

If not that, everything white with solid pink pillows and some gold framed mirrors and sparkly (a couple or three) sparkly pillows on the chair and bed. Small accent pillows.

If you get too much stuff it will look 1980 bed and breakfast!

I am not sure what I would do, other than not add any more pink/mauve to the room. I think the comforter and pillows add enough. Also, what is the room size? That should play into your choices.

It is lovely how the base of the bed matches the shams. A detail you don't see often.

@mintedrose

What about something like this?

Re: Decor help please

Janey2 — Sun, 24 May 2020 15:25:12 GMT

@lolakimono @Love those lamps with the bed comforter and pillows.

ECBG — Sun, 24 May 2020 16:50:38 GMT

@mintedrose Beautiful bedroom set!

What color are the walls in this room please?

What other furniture is in this room?

Are you planning on buying furniture?

What color is your headboard?

What color is the floor?

What size is the room?

Re: Decor help please

@mintedrose

I selected this one even though it's not gold, because of the golden shade, the movement in the base, and the color of the base. If the base metal, filial and silver lamp parts are deal breakers for you, I think there is a product that you can rub on to make them "golden."

NickNack — Sun, 24 May 2020 15:57:33 GMT

@mintedrose The picture has white curtains, and that is definitely what I would use, too. If you go with pink, it's just way too much pink. I do like the comforter.

I really like the lamp that @lolakimono posted.

Just going by your name, I thought you might be into flowers. Here are some flower-inspired mirrors. This one comes in two finishes.
