bedroom decor taupe walls image
Sarah S
My boyfriend are finally getting the large sized master bedroom we want in our new apartment. We want to make it look grown up, so I'm looking for any tips. Keep in mind that since we do live in an apartment we can't really paint, and since we're colleged aged we're on a budget. I'm just looking for tips on colors, drapes (if any), what kind of paintings, decor, anything like that. Also, stuff we should try and keep outta there. Thanks guys!

Keep stuffed animals out.
Neutral colors on big items are always good, Taupe curtains and bedspread, you can bring color splashes in with a few (not too many) cusions. Blow up some pictues that you like from a magazine, You can either just tack them to the wall or put them in inexpensive frames. A shelf for books and some keepsake items interspersed. Candlestick lamp is always in style.

I bought new furniture, I don't have a picture of it yet, but it is from "wickes." It is black and has a glass table top on the dresser with 2 mirrors and the edges of the glass are green. I was thinking of a light green , but I feel that it is too juvinille, and maybe a darker color will suit me better. Please help! Pics would be great!
Answer
you didn't say what color your floors were, or what your style is, so that might change my decision, but -
You could go with a neutral color, like a light tan or or taupe color. You could do a faux finish like sponging or ragging over the colors to create a softer, muted finish in contrast to the bold furniture color.
Not sure if you are single or married, but if single (bcuz guys probably won't like this), you could paint them a ballet pink for Parisian decor or a soothing lilac color.
I personally would stay away from darker colors unless you wanted to do an accent wall, do the darker color (like a red) on the accent wall and make the rest more neutral and tie both colors in with your linens, flowers or pillows. This might work better in an Asian themed room.
I think the light green would be pretty, just pick a crisp green, not like a mint green color. I like honeydew from Sherman Williams.
I sent you a link to a couple of bedrooms off of HGTV designer portfolios that looked like they had black furniture and you can enter your style that you like, Modern, Traditional, Asian, whatever, and look at more that might suit your taste.
The other one is a Sherman Williams paint color finder that can also teach you how to do faux finishes. Good luck!
