We painted a stripe wall however we used different colors as compared to the other three walls. Do you guys recommend to change one stripe to the main color or does it look good as is?

the green wall does not belong there. the green is cool the stripes are warm.

the rug is warm. paint the green wall in a color from the stripe wall.

I would carry the white stripe into the Aqua, that would break it up and tie it in, you could change the grey and yellow later on and the white and Aqua would still look good together.

EleganceDecor2014, did you like the mock up where I added the varying thinner aqua stripes to the existing striped wall? If so, I’d say go with it, as it will be easiest option, and when you get the furniture in the room and stuff on the walls, your eye isn’t going to focus on the yellow and aqua “clashing”, especially when accents of those colors (and others) are added via fabrics, stuffed animals, blankets, etc.

Bonjour! Pourquoi ne pas investir dans un second pot identique au premier et le modifier un peu: découper la fibre de verre (se protéger les yeux et porter des vêtements longs!) à la meuleuse pour incorporer le regard EP dedans et riveter un nouveau fond dans le pot... Au pire un second bambou en pot placé sur cales à l'intérieur fera illusion... Et vous cacherez en partie la descente d'eau pluviales! C'est ce que j'aurais fait! Sinon faites revenir l'entrepreneur qui a osé laisser ce regard apparent!!

Choosing an Interior Designer

Choosing an Interior Designer If you are thinking of working with an interior designer, be aware that the relationship is, by its very nature, intimate. Given this, you reap immeasurable benefits when you take some time upfront to consider just what it is you want from this person you're about to invite into your life. As with any relationship, clear communication can go a long way to alleviating any misunderstandings. Here are a few questions to ask yourself, questions to ask prospective designers, and some hard-won tips we've picked up along the way. Assess Your Work Style Before you pick up the phone and start calling prospects, spend a few moments thinking carefully about your preferred method of working. This little bit of soul searching will go a long way to ensuring you hire the right person, and will help to lay a solid foundation for a successful working relationship. For starters, think carefully about your answer to these questions: At what level do you want to be involved in the creative process? Do you want to be consulted on the nitty-gritty, day-to-day details, or are you more interested in big picture issues? Similarly, at what level do you want to be involved in the product research? Are you looking for comprehensive, "soup to nuts" guidance, or do you consider yourself design-savvy and only in need of assistance with color, space planning and resources? Are you a visual person or a tactile person? Will you be satisfied with a designer showing you photos of products, or do you prefer to see and feel everything before deciding whether it is right for you? Do you prefer to be shown many options or fewer? Are you open to the input of others? Are you able to make choices with confidence, or do you tend to vacillate? What are your expectations in terms of a timeline Determine the Scope of Your Project The scope of a project to some extent dictates the qualifications and experience required of the interior designer you are hiring. If you are building a new home or addition, or undertaking a major renovation to existing space, you are likely already working with an architect. This is good. Architects and designers often work in concert, balancing the aesthetics of the home's structure, or "bones," with the interior furnishings and finishes. You may want to get your architect involved in the selection of the interior designer—whether it's recommending someone he or she has already worked with, or using one of the interior designers the firm may have on staff. If you're redecorating a single room or have a limited budget for a space that does not require structural change, you may not need an interior designer at all. You may be happy hiring a specialist, such as a color consultant, who can work with your existing furnishings and help you revamp the space with new paint color and fabric selections.

Adalisa Frazzini- I liked your idea and I was leaning towards that however, once I removed the yellow and replaced it with the aqua stripe, I just thought it worked very nicely. Since, it is just repainting two stripes it will not take that much time also.

What do you think? Does the aqua, grey, and white striped wall work well? Thanks for your great suggestions.

It absolutely works without the yellow! It is simply a much safer option. When I am hired by a client, it is for my expertise and experience. So when I post on Houzz, even though I'm not being paid for my input, I try invite people not to be so afraid to take risks (especially when it has to do with the paint or returnable items).

You have have lots of opportunity to bring in other colors as accents in the room! It is going to look great when it's done!!

Have you selected or purchased any furniture yet? What color/style if so? I’ll find some drapery and rug options in the meantime.

As an aside, this bedding is from Target and even though do the colors look familiar? I know not exact match, but close enough and works well, I think. :)

Either change the yellow stripe to Aqua or paint the Aqua walls white. Which do you like more Aqua or yellow? Remember Aqua is A calming color when you want the baby to sleep.

Ultimately it is about what you like, but... since you ask :-) I think the aqua, grey, white combo feels too cold. And I don't like it with your carpet. Have to say that the photos linlac shows above, of the grey, yellow, aqua, grey rooms, look surprisingly good.

Hi I just want to say I like your current plan. The aqua looks completely different in your new photos. I like yellow as an accent but on the walls I find it to be clashing with the aqua.

Try bringing the striped colors into the rest of the room. You already have white furniture. Try adding a yellow rug and grey curtains (or vice versa). Then see how you feel.

Because both Aqua and gray are cool, and yellow is warm, I think the yellow should be a smaller stripe than any of the others...I would do Aqua and gray stripes, with a more narrow band of yellow..then pick up the yellow in other things...like drapes, rug, etc. I,can see a yellow rocking chair, or even a yellow fluffy rug on the floor.

Yes! That's the one. I feel if I pick an all grey rug, the room may look washed out since the furniture is white. I think a rug with some yellow might be a better bet.

I like the yellow rug you have in the room. Keep in mind the the rug colors do NOT need to match your wall colors exactly, they need to coordinate, be it yellow, gray or green. If you can bring in crib and changing table with your yellow rug, we can really start to see what direction to go in!

Change the yellow stripes to the same green color on the other walls. the rug is still a warm color but you may be able to buy a cool colored accent rug that works well with the tan carpet and the green walls

Has anyone even suggested replacing the grey stripe with the color or the other three walls? Why does everyone want to use (overuse) a color that is not really a 'baby' color? Replace the grey with the aqua. Hey, anyone out there who could photoshop that for us, please?

I would take the easy route and keep the striped wall and rethink the turquoise. I think a nursery should have a calming effect and a warm feeling. The turquoise is anything but calming or warm.

As a architectural designer, I would recommend researching color psychology for nurseries. Colors and patterns have different impacts on different ages - the reason most babies are surrounded by soft colors. I once had a daycare owner that wanted deep colors, reds and oranges, that would have caused hyper activity and anxious behaviors. When I look at this room's stripes, at least in the photo, the colors are so deep and contract so strongly with each other some of the lines of color seem to advance and some recede which could be unsettling. In general, I really like the new / different idea for a nursery. If the stripe colors were softened, and one of those colors used to cover the green - it could be gorgeous. Hope that is helpful.

How about choosing a much lighter, and warmer gray for the walls and for the gray stripes. By warmer, I mean a gray that has some beige in it instead if a cool or battleship gray. And it will look better with the carpeting. I like the yellow, white and gray combination, and your white furniture will be pretty with a soft gray on the walls. If you can find a Benjamin Moore paint store, their staff is usually very helpful in selecting paint colors. Try a sample before committing to buying the paint. It can be a lovely nursery- and change the mini blinds!

I agree with bringing in the aqua in to the rest of the stripes. Be bold and have some fun with the color. The textiles that were shown with this palette were great as well.

OK, looks like you don't need any more advice, but can't help myself. On the large grey stripe how about some charming little animals in a parade? Using the aqua, yellow & white.... decoupage on cardboard and make them easy to remove and change..., copy friendly characters from children's books, The grey seems to me to be a bit depressing for a child, would lighten it up and give them something fun to look at. If you are in the Bay Area hire me to paint them!!!! ;) cats in dresses with polka dot umbrellas, Ducks in bonnets, Pigs in overalls etc. or hire a good muralist or artist to do the job. Money well spent.
