The bedroom is the place where we spend nearly 1/3 of our lives. In this bedroom we begin with a soft yellow color on the walls that is very inviting and vibrant which makes the room feel large and spacious because it reflects more light than most off whites and grays. The room is accented with wicker chairs and furniture that compliment the soft glow of the room. The tradition of wicker may reflect your own traditional values. The natural earth tones and the light grain in the wicker blend well with the Berber carpet of speckled tans and browns. The lighter color and open feel of the bedroom is the perfect setting for a full down comforter to top off the bed. Visit our color themes, schemes and theory page for additional information about warm colors and the psychological impact of color.


Child's bedroom with yellow walls and wicker furnishings

Bed: Wicker woven on a solid steel frame in a very stylish Victorian design. A down comforter caps off the bed complete with a stylish cover for easy care and cleaning.

Chair Set: Hand crafted high back wicker chairs are easily arranged to bring the perfect setting to this child's room. Low back contemporary chairs would be a nice addition to this bedroom, making it the ideal place to read a bed time story or relax before breakfast.

Wall Paint: Light yellow in a satin finish keeps this room alive with light. This soft yellow color is a good selection for this room making it feel warm year round. The satin finish is a nice choice for good looks and low maintenance.

Carpet: Rugged Sisal fiber in rich earth tones make the perfect foundation for this room. Natural fiber carpet is the logical compliment to wicker furniture and resists wear and tear.

Accessories: A selected flower vase and a pair of matching lamps help round out the soft vibrant feel of this bedroom. A good collection of tasteful and functional accessories brings spice to any room

Window dressings: Simple yet elegant, these light colored curtains rest on a single oak rod and can be opened or drawn with a gentle tug. With the window open they will dance gently with any light breeze.

Framed Art: A contemporary portrait of a loved one or a special work of art personalizes the room.

Hardware: Brass knobs, hinges, switch plates and hardware set off the elegance and style of traditional cottage living.

Trim: Light oak crown and base molding frame this room into a perfect picture. Distinctive moldings such as these enhance any room.
