There was an error rendering this rich post.

ok….I am helping my sister-in-law with her bedroom and my brain is a little fried on this project so ANY help is appreciated! She loves her wallpaper so that is staying as is all the furniture (the chair will probably go). The help I need is figuring out what to do regarding window treatments and the adjacent walls that flank the wallpaper wall (one has a window the other a barn door that leads to the closet). The white roller shades are a temporary fix for privacy until we get something permanent figured out. thanks!!

Wow — this is tough! My ideas are: add curtains or blinds to the windows in a color that is one of the main colors in the wallpaper (probably one of the blues), and then paint the two side walls in that color so the three walls read as one expanse. (The trim could stay white if you want.) My vote would be for shades or blinds rather than curtains, since it feels like there's a lot going on with the big patterned wall making a focal point in the room and you don't want to compete with it. Blinds would be more unobtrusive than curtains, and I know you can get blinds in blue (we have some).

It would be really spectacular if you could continue the wallpaper pattern onto the blind or shade over the bed, so when closed it would complete the wall pattern, and I'm sure there are artistic people who could do that. Too bad I'm not one of them!

Very interested to see what ideas other people come up with! This is fun.

Since the wallpaper is the star, I’d go for sleek window treatments that don’t compete with it maybe motorized roller shades in a textured fabric or roman shades in a solid color that pulls from the wallpaper (deep blue or a muted neutral). If she wants a softer look, floor-length curtains could work too, mounted high and wide to make the window feel bigger.

For the adjacent walls, the one with the barn door could use some visual balance maybe a piece of sculptural wall art or a sleek, narrow console table if space allows. The window wall could benefit from a statement piece, like a large, simple-framed mirror or floating shelves to add dimension without cluttering the space. Excited to see how it turns out!
