What is a good color scheme for decorating a bedroom in cool colors incorporating silhouettes into decoration?
I am trying to redo my mom’s bedroom for Christmas but I cannot figure out what color scheme. It is a decent sized master bedroom with plain white walls. She would like it to be romantic and a little feminine. She likes cool colors but does not want a lot of white or light colors since we have pets. She likes beige or tan, soft greens and blues (not for the walls). She does not like maroons or golds. She has a collection of antique silhouettes that she would like hung on the walls. I am having a hard time figuring out what color to paint the walls and what colors for the bedding/curtains etc… I am afraid if I do a green and tan/beige scheme it would not work with the silhouette collection. Any ideas? I have looked for country, antique schemes but everything seems too busy. Help!
You know lately I have been seeing a lot of a bright teal/blue.

The color I am talking about is in pictures 8 and 9. Black, like in the silhouettes, will pop out in this color. It also gives a nice cool feeling. Dark colors with it go well because of the contrast. I would paint the walls that color blue. I would make the curtains dark brown and that will allow you to choose darker colored bedding so it can be more pet friendly. Hope I was able to help.
