I took an interior design class at a local community college this past fall. One of my favorite parts of the class was laying out our design boards. I loved pulling together different fabrics, finishes and paint colors to create a cohesive room. It was amazing to see how switching out a rug or a piece of artwork could totally change the direction and feeling of a room.
When I found this amazing queen bed at the thrift store, I couldn't wait to start planning for the design in our spare room. This room which has received no love in our nine months at Chaney, despite quite a few overnight guests.
While I'm committed to going dark on the walls to contrast with the light wood of the bed, I'm a little nervous to go to this dark slate color. I went dark in the dining room, and it is my favorite room in the house, so I know it can work. At the end of the day, it's just paint. Laying out a design board ahead of times definitely helps me feel more confident in the choice.
I can't wait to get started on the room (and convincing Josh that a pink rug is a good idea). Has anyone reading ever painted a bedroom this dark? Any tips?
