The bedroom lacked a
focus, so Elaine
wallpapered just the
headboard wall for a
budget-friendly visual
“wow.” She matched the
wall paint color to the
wallpaper’s ground color.

Though the room is
vibrant, repeating the
same color keeps it calm.
Shades of yellow, with
hints of ivory and beige,
unify multiple patterns.

TABLE t a lk
Bedside
tables do not need to
match, but they should
be about the same
height. Because Ann’s
32-inch-high dresser is
used as a nightstand,
Elaine chose a 30-inch-
high bookshelf for the
other side. The angled
shelf holds books, while
bins and boxes hold
things like Ann’s knitting
supplies,
right.
Leftover
wallpaper is adhered to
the underside of the
angled shelf to help it
blend in. Librarie

Wall-to-wall
beige berber carpet is
nice but a little boring.
Layering an area rug
under the bed adds
loads of personality.
