A nearby "client" asked me to freshen up his master bedroom with new window treatments and bedding. I was pleased to oblige.
Initially, I rejected any notion of using a floral ... then I saw this interesting Art Nouveau-like pattern on drapes in Urban Outfitters. The brown, pecan, ivory and white work well together, and since the room's window and door trim is chocolate brown (Ralph Lauren's Desert Boot), the pink, orange and gold in the drapes keep the room from experiencing a brown-out.
Because each pattern is a different scale — thin pinstripes, medium floral, and larger plaid — they play well together, especially against the neutral walls (Ralph Lauren's Greenhouse Blonde).
Some accessories in the room are orange and hot pink to give these neutrals some punch, and there's even a leopard print lamp shade on the nightstand lamp to give the room an added dose of "chic."
Together, these layers of pattern and color create a rich retreat that's rather sweet and luscious.
