shabby chic lighting Ideas on how to put some character into my bedroom?
I've recently redecorated my bedroom, it has cream walls with a feature wall in a copper/cream/chocolate/grey floral pattern. My carpet is chocolate brown, bed is antique brass, wardrobe is 'wenge'. I have a small bookacase in a nutmeg colour and a suede armchair which is a greyish cream.
So here's my question, there is a piece of wall in my bedroom which looks extremely bare. So I was wondering what I should do with it. (The bit of wall is just over a metre in width). So far my ideas are: Three shelves which I will put lots of 'shabby chic' items on, picture frames, candles etc. and run some white fairy lights through the shelves. OR Get lots of different picture frames, again 'shabby chic', all in cream, white and gold and have a wall of pictures. OR A nice print/canvas.
If you have any other ideas, please share
Thankyou xx
All 3 options sound good. You could even mix them up. 1 or 2 shelves with framed pictures hung on the wall above. You are the only one that can make your room show your character.

We always have opposite taste too! We ended up compromising by putting our taste of decorations together and they work!
For example, he likes a color and I like a different color! We worked them out by making our colors combine well together, by painting a wall & another wall across the room -the color he likes and then the other wall & one across that I like. Looks really good together, that is both of you need to make a compromise to change the colors a bit to match well together.
Another example on furniture and decorations that we like are different too! Again we try to combine -match them well together for the room then they usually turn out great!
We got some ideas from watching home improvement channels such as HGTV… our favorites are Decorating Cents!

Get a large deep gold vase with flowers-deep gold throw over the back of the sofa-Gold colored lamp shades-light wood candle holders with gold candles etc…….
You have a lot of light colors so you need some punches of strong colors in the room. Choose a large area rug with some rich colors and then add pillows to match. Your accessories and artwork should also infuse some richer colors into the room Everything goes with the sage you have painted the walls. Rich colors will pop against it and you will add excitement to the room and a decorator touch.
