One Room Challenge: Week 3
Remember those amazing inspiration images I posted here when this round of the ORC began? If not, I’ll refresh your memory.
One of the many things those two images have in common is the use of neutrals with touches of black. In going through my fabric stash to come up with a combination of pillow fabrics to use, I’ve come to a standstill. I really love the mix of neutrals, but I also love when color is used in a monochromatic way where there are many variations of the same color.
So, that leaves me with these two color schemes to choose from:
Option A is pretty much perfect, though I probably wouldn’t use 2 Ikat fabrics. Option B needs a lot more green because that’s the color I’d like to focus on most, but I wanted to at least get a feel for what I can expect. I probably won’t end up using this many prints together for whichever option I choose, but I am certainly in love with both. I would, also, add some solids and embellishments to the both options. I have considered using one for the Spring/Summer months and the other for the Fall/Winter months, but I don’t know if that will work for me. Which would you choose?
In other news, aside from digging through my fabric stash, I’m also digging through my paint stash to find something to use on an impromptu project. As though I don’t already have enough projects planned for the short 3 weeks left of the challenge, I’m the crazy person who’s adding more…. I’m finally starting to feel the pressure!
Such a tough one and I say do both, one for the cooler months and the other for warmer months. This is always my struggle, I love a neutral palette but also love bold color and patterns. No matter what one you pick, I think they are both fabulous and will look great!
i have to go with fabric option A….i just am addicted to my neutrals so i cannot stray! can’t wait to see what you choose, whatever it is will look great i am certain.
Now ordinarily I would be all over that color situation but your neutral combos are really speaking to me. I am blaming the goldish/black animal print but they all just jive and the whole vibe is in keeping with your original instinct – which I am a firm believer in trusting your gut. Do it and don’t look back. Except to pick up all the color B options for the spring swap out!
I’m definitely on the option A train- love love your mix of pattern and I’d keep the bolder ikat to bring in more of the charcoal/black etc. Gorgeous!
Well now that’s a tough one! I love both options. The good news is you can’t go wrong. 🙂
I’d go for option B. The mix of patterns is more interesting and it injects more colours into the space. Also it shows off personality more. Just go for it!
Love your inspiration pics! I’d go with A for the pillows. Good luck 🙂
Am I the only one who likes B? B for beautiful.
Love all the inspiration pictures! Option A is definitely my favorite! Can’t wait to see what you choose 🙂
