One room I recently consulted for was completely empty. It was to be a guest bedroom but there was no furniture in the room at that time. The client showed me some linens she had recently bought and thought she would use in the room. Blue Bedroom with Yellow Accents Working from those linens we chose the color for the room. The linens were a floral print of blues and yellows. We decided to choose a light blue that complimented the blues in the floral print and would give the [...]
