Copy Cat Design: Wallpaper in the Bedroom

Colleen's back at it with another great room, recreated for less! (PS We're getting ready for some trips this summer, and I'm DYING for this orange swim suit Colleen shared this week. So cute!)

This bedroom from Traditional Home is deceptive--at first it looks like it has a lot going on, but with the exception of statement-making wallpaper, it's a very neutral room. Let's take a closer look.

1. Michelle Table Lamp; Macys, $80

The skinny white lamp looks crisp against the cobalt wallpaper.

2. Sweet Pea Posy Vase; Kate Spade, $35

If you're fortunate enough to have a yard, bud vases are your very best friend for decorating. Add a few blooms from your yard and put them in every room.

3. Ninda Upholstered Bed; World Market, $600

This bed is such a find. Going neutral shouldn't mean boring, so pick something with interest, like tufting or a scrolling shape.

4. Laguna Stripe Outdoor Fabric; Fabric Guru. $21/1.7 yards

The original roman shades use a Kravet fabric, but I quite like a wide neutral stripe too.

5. Wallpaper Pattern: SW4PA719; Sherwin Williams, $28/roll

The wallpaper is absolutely the star of the room, and the saturated color is key. This Chinoiserie pattern is an economical alternative to the original Osborne & Little.

6. Patriot Blue; Benjamin Moore

If wallpapering isn't an option, this blue paint will look stunning with white trim.

7. Birkeland Wardrobe; Ikea, $300

Consider replacing the glass doors with mirrors--it's pretty and functional.

8. Cabinet Carat Knob; Anthropologie, $6

Crystal pulls will add a little sparkle to a plain white wardrobe.

9. Greek Key Sham in Blue; Williams-Sonoma Home, $98

The bedding repeats the blue in the embroidery, on otherwise bright white sheets.

10. Parsons End Table; Home Decorators Collection, $99

Just a simple white table for pretty things.

11. Blue and White Ginger Jar; Furbish, $45

I'm a tchotchke person. I need my pointless pretty objects, thus a blue ginger jar.

12. Gillian Pillow; Crate & Barrel, $60

A feminine and neutral pillow completes the bed.
