Modern Mirror Wall
Modern Bedroom incorporating dark wood antiques?
I have several dark-ish wood (mahogany colour) antiques eg a sewing & writing box, a dressing stand (mirror & draws to go on a table), an old sewing machine.
Now I want to redo my room and have a modern, fresh looking room, light & bright, ideally cream walls I think. I need to get new wardrobes, a desk, a bed, drawers but need ideas as to colours / styles so it's modern and works with the old stuff.
I don't want dark wood wardrobes to match the dark antiques or light wood which would clash with the antiques. Any ideas? I think a desk that's modern but fits into the scheme will be hard to find.
If you can show me any pictures for suggestions I'd appreciate it!
Thanks
First I would start with something you like, for example a color or a bedding set that has a pattern that you can base other things in the room around. It is really hard to just start redecorating out of nowhere - pick an object etc. For some inspiration check out http://www.visionbedding.com/Bedding_Gallery.php for unique and modern photographic and custom bedding designs - they will even let you custom create your own or help you find what you are looking for. (It's been a great resource for me.)
Then match your design to a paint color (such as white, ecru, cream, etc) that complements it. Once you have that picked out, you can begin looking for furniture, I would recommend white or a modern style dark wood furniture set. Like a platform bed or clean lined dresser (check out http://www.modernfurniture.com/bedroom-&-bathroom/4286+4290.cfm). Just remember it's YOUR bedroom so pick out things that you like and that match your taste, don't try to design something outside of your comfort level. Good Luck!
