Need some help with decorating colours for my yellow beige studio

3 år siden

Hi, I’m looking to put in some colourful decorations, but I’m very unsure of which colours go with the space. I have beige speakled carpet with spots of brown, yellow beige walls (captivating creme SW 6659 around this colour), charcoal black couch, light tan wood bed and tan wood vinyl in the kitchen. Any ideas or tips would help so much. Thanks

*pictures are lighter than actual colour

Blue would look good with those colours. Or is there another colour that draws you? Some green plants would look good, maybe a pothos which you can just put it in a jar of water and let it trail along.

First choose a piece of art with colours that you like. For example, if you like blue then maybe a seascape or a landscape with lots of sky and clouds. This one seems to have the colours you like. Next a rug for the sofa in complementary colours.

Then a textured solid colour bedspread to go over your duvet cover to dress the bed up and look good with your sofa, since it is a studio and really one room. This one might complement your sofa

Stick with the charcoal and creams/beige as your main colors. Add accents with natural textures. Maybe a large green plant, a textured cream throw or pillows, wood or glass end tables, a gold table lamp with a white shade. Look for art that has a subject that is meaningful to you like a landscape of a special place, or black & white photos of a particular subject. No one can choose art for you. Look for art pieces you love, and you'll always fine a place for them. That will make your space feel like a home.

Thank you Calidesign for your comment, I do like these kind of ideas, and the natural beachy kind of look.
Is there any way to interject colours like blues, greens and purples to add to the black and white?

When shopping for area rugs and bedding I always google the image of the one that I find and it is usually on half a dozen websites at different prices. I actually ordered the one I got from Bed Bath and Beyond because I wasn't sure it would work in the space and I could return it locally - not have to pay shipping. Once it came in I searched for the best price. I called (they have a price match guarantee with some hitches to it.) They wouldn't price match, so I re-ordered from Houzz and returned the one I previously purchased to BBB. Prices also fluxuate week to week - I got mine over the 4th of July holiday and it was $224 - now $421 (8'x10') BBB was $399 and offered to price match to $329).

Yes, you can use blues and greens in your space. Your other items are fairly neutral.
