I've been told on many occasions, by many different people that too bold of a color makes the room dark and small. Not so! If you want to work with a bold color, incorporate white to help offset it, or do the obvious: pick a sunny room.
Although this bedroom is blessed with three large windows, I still had to maximize the amount of light that came in. So, I took advantage of IKEA's sheer
LILL panels (
very affordable), added a ton of customized wall molding (thanks Adam!), and created a flowy canopy effect with some white
muslin.
The black and white comforter was really just added for some contrast...but all in all, this room turned out bold AND bright! For a total cost of $225 to design the room (the handsome, handmade dressers were designed and crafted by Adam for a mere $60), I have to say I'm almost tempted to tear it apart and start over...just for fun.
