The Feel of Color: Calm Part 2

Since, no one commented on this post for which room I should create I decided to pick a Calm Bedroom.

The piece I am using as my starting point is the following:

Japanese Fountain Photography - 6x8 Original Fine Art Photograph Zen Water Stones Bamboo Drip Garden Calming Relaxing Meditation

Lets start with the bed:

Chadhaus Loft Bed

Then we need someplace to put our clothes:

Beautiful Reclaimed 6 drawer Dresser / Chest

Don't forget a night stand:

Reclaimed Wood 'Lake Tahoe' Three Drawer Chest

And a light to go above the night stand:

Rainbow Brite - Spiraling Mason Jar Chandelier - Mobile Hanging Pendant Light - Colored Mason Jar Lamp - Cascading Colors BootsNGus Design

And finally some bedding:

ShaNickers Handpainted "Bamboo" Duvet w/ Shams-Queen Size

If you have any questions about how and why I put these pieces together please comment below!

Creating a calming living environment like stated in the last post we need to keep it simple. It makes sense when you think about it. When walking into a spa do you see a lot of different vibrate colors? Do you see lots of accessories lining the room? Do you see complicated pieces of art? Most likely you are going to answer no to all these questions.

Lets start building our room with color. Greens, blues, creams and troupes are all colors that are used to create a calming atmosphere. All these colors work well together but remember the 10-30-60. The primary color should be 60% of your room, the secondary color should be 30% and the accent color should be 10% of the room.

Now we need a jumping off point, a piece of inspiration. Lets go shopping!

Here are some Calming themed inspirational pieces that I have found on Etsy.
