- Inspiration for my palette:
- I was in the planning stages to re-design my guestroom and went for a pedicure. I found this fabulous deep, warm purple for my toes and promptly went to the paint store to find a similar colour for my guestroom walls! I am an artist/interior decorator, so I brightened the space by creating an art wall with selections of my own artwork. It makes the space unique and truly reflects my personality.
- Colors used in my room
- Purple, cream, pale green.
- Tips for using color successfully
- Choose the colours you love and use them in your space - don't be afraid. If the main colour is dark, brighten it up with strategic lighting, lighter, neutral colours and shimmery accessories. If the main colour is light, add punches of saturated, bright or dark colours to ground it and make the room pop with personality.

pretty room! Love the art too
I like the colour on the walls a lot, but I think the room looks too small for it to work... I'd have made one statement wall in purple, with a few artworks on it. Now it looks a bit dark and cluttered...
Very beautiful!
Gorgeous! What a beautiful color! Love everything about this room...Good luck!
Guest room should be about the guest; not all about you. If this were your own bedroom, then it would be fine. Like the color.
I love the colour and I love how the lightness of the other elements keeps it airy yet cosy
omg - I would love to be a guest in this room. Though I wouldn't get any sleep, I'd have to sit up and take in the details of the room.
Very nice color. The prints should be framed with the same light wood of the bed. Beautiful artwork!
What a lovely dark dramatic purple! I have a purple bedroom also but chickened out and went with a midrange color. Now I may rethink that.
It must be nice to wake up to such beautiful art! I really like your color tips.
Absolutely love it! What a delightful little jewel box of a room.
Personal, cozy, intimate, sexy.
I see toes... :)
Love the artwork and colors.
Love the color, it is so dark it is almost neutral to let the art shine. I like the unframed look of the art and the fun pulls on an ikea looking dresser.
Only problem is the bed being against the wall. What if two people are sleeping over and one needs to get up in the middle of the night!
Really? They are guests in YOUR house. Do you paint the room every time someone is coming over with a different favorite color than you?
Gorgeous colours! A beautiful room.
rmbnn: I used to try to make my Guest Bedroom all about the guest and would drive myself crazy. Then it dawned on me that it is Guest Bedroom, not Guest's Bedroom. It's still very much a part of MY home and I should be comfortable with it, guest or no guest. Kudos to Tahnee for the bold approach of extending one's persona to the guests, most likely family or close friends.
What color are the walls? Love the whole room!
The colour is "La Scala" by SICO. Thanks!
