I have a green bedroom with espresso brown furniture. I love the color of the walls, my carpeting, and my beautiful espresso furniture. But when the seasons change I like to update the look.
This has been the first week since Labor Day that the weather has calmed down. We’ve had a lot of days in the 90’s, which is not uncommon in Henry County, Tennessee. But thankfully, this hot weather has taken a little break. Last night we turned off the air conditioner and opened the windows and you could feel fall in the air.
When I woke up this morning I thought that today would be a good day to redecorate and go from summer to fall looks in my bedroom. I had purchased a coverlet and shams on clearance a few months ago and have been waiting to put the whole thing together for a simple easy redecorating change.
Green Bedroom with Espresso Furniture Before Look
My room is painted a great green color that seems to blend harmoniously with a lot of different colors. I had previously made valances that had a forgiving pattern that can easily be mixed with other floral, plaid, and stripes.
Green Bedroom with Espresso Furniture After Look
Because of the design of my bed, I do not require or can use a dust ruffle, so that does save me money and lot of mattress wrestling I can live without. This makes the whole change over easy and quick. I do like “the lots of pillow look” and I have been using as my base pillow the euro-shams with a brown cover that I have not had to replace due to color blending. Then I use the standard shams , two matching 16 inch square decorator pillows, one 15 inch decorator pillow and a 15×12 rectangular pillow finishes the group.
I am happy with the results and the ease in which it all came together. The only real new purchase was the coverlet, shams and two decorator pillows that came as a set and on clearance cost me under $80.00 delivered. The metal wall hanging over my bed is also fairly new along with my 5×7 wool carpet at the end of my bed. I reused everything else and still get a pleasing fall/winter color change to rejuvenate the room.
I am glad to share this with you in hopes you will enjoy this and encourage you to get a fresh start on new season. Enjoy!
