West Elm - Why These 2 Bedrooms Work



I love these 2 bedrooms from West Elm.
Here are some tips as to how these two pull the looks together...

Neutral Rustic:
This room really has a country feel, but not overdone. Starting with neutral walls, floor and furniture really helps the room come to life by adding the themed touches to the decoration.
Using textured and natural elements such as; timber/metal - seen in the chair, glass jars, woven materials such as the basket and rug, and faux fur to add comfort and warmth to the room. Adding foliage to the room compliments the natural elements and adds some colour.

Modern Chic:
Again - starting off with neutral colours are great staples to build whatever theme you desire. This room really shines due to its more darker nature seen in the timber floors, so work with this feature by adding contrast to your decorations but keeping your furniture in the same tones.
The Tribal Kilm and Moroccan Pouffe add some culture and breaks up the stillness of the room. The pattern and colours offer a contrast to the floors. The side lamp and picture frames compliments the furniture and adds a chic/quirky touch. The foliage adds some texture and colour but has brought it back to a modern look with its vase.
