Happy Monday! Hope you had a wonderful weekend.\u00a0 I had my besties from university over on Saturday night and because of Earth Hour (did you participate?), the house was a wonderland of glowing candles. We actually kept them on all night as they cast such a pretty glow.\u00a0 Also attended my daughter\u2019s competitive showcase yesterday \u2013 all the dancers are so talented which made the four hour show not seem like four hours.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

When looking at my blog post stats the other day, one of my most popular posts was this one on Upholstered Headboards<\/a> that I wrote almost four years ago.\u00a0 (This was before Pinterest, hence the 50 links.\u00a0 What a good blogger I was!\u00a0 Also, ignore the wonky spacing.\u00a0 Can\u2019t wait to move to wordpress!)<\/p>\n

Anyway, on looking back at the post, there are very few bedrooms that appeal to me now.\u00a0 (Well, I\u2019m not even sure if they appealed to me then as I had to go searching for these photos\u2026remember how different things were pre-Pinterest?)<\/p>\n

I\u2019m meeting with a client this week regarding decorating her bedroom so that it is more \u201cserene and less chaotic\u201d (to quote her) so I have been pinning neutral, quiet bedrooms.\u00a0 I can just send her this blog link to start the conversation when we meet \u2013 I love when blogging and work go hand in hand.<\/p>\n

Although I personally love colour and pattern, there is something about a bedroom that is monochromatic with lots of whites\/creams\/neutrals.\u00a0 It\u2019s funny how our tastes\/preferred style changes over the years and you can see that highlighted in what you pin (and also what you\u00a0 blogged about years ago.)<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s some of the bedrooms I am drawn to lately. All images via my Bedroom board<\/a> on Pinterest.<\/p>\n

What keeps the rooms from looking flat are the textures \u2013 e.g. wool, linen, velvet, seagrass (or other natural fibre rug), wood \u2013 or a hit of black. It doesn\u2019t hurt either that some of\u00a0 these rooms have great architectural details.\u00a0 They all have light walls \u2013 off-white, cream, grey which is an easy fix to make your room seem more calming. In my bedroom makeover<\/a>, I painted the walls Para\u2019s Andalusian (P5241-14) which is an off white with a pink undertone. It was a blah green before and just this change alone, made a world of difference.<\/p>\n

Are you drawn to neutral bedrooms like these or do you crave colour and pattern?<\/p>\n

Have a great week!<\/p>\n
