I just had a question about the colors and bedding....and thought someone on here could give some honest opinions and thoughts.

This bed spread is what she picked out......it is a soft tan w/ fuzzy black designs....very classy, but do you think if we added some bright pink to it, if it would still look okay? How about if we added pink and zebra print too? (not much, just for a splash of fun and color)? - maybe like some throw pillows and the bed skirt being the bright pink or zebra print?

The sitting area.....we couldn't find a love seat that we really liked. We found a nicer black leather one that folded into a bed, but it was alittle pricey (imagine that). She found this and liked it because it is (in her words) funky and modern. ---remember, she is my 12 year old designer! It is adjustable in six positions, one being a bed. She also has a bright pink suede papison type chair. Oh, I think the silver pillows could be covered in pink or even a tan to match the bed color or do you think silver is fine? What thoughts or ideas do you have?

One last thing (sorry so long)......her queen bed will fit in her dormer and that dormer wall and the 1/2 wall on that side of the room, we were thinking of painting it a bright pink w/ maybe black designs or just plain pink. Then the other three walls (one being 18 ft. - her room is on the sloped edge of the house) maybe being painting in a tan to match the tan in the bed spread.
What do you think????
I love the bed spread!!!

Well I love Black and pink together so I think your heading in a good direction.. I have never thought of tan and pink together... I would go to a paint store and get the paint samples they give away free... find the colors your thinking of and look at them together mixing and matching them... It is a free way to see the colors your thinking of.

Also when you paint a room you might want to first see what the colors look like through out the day because the light in the room changes as the sun moves... Put the color squares on the wall and check them through out the day to see how they will look.
