As our laundry space adventures continue (priming, painting, as well as tile prep are in progress!) I believed it may be fun to share some online choices that we tried on in the office (we checked out some wall concepts in Clara’s bedroom last autumn as well as taken a look at a few looks for Teddy’s space about five months ago). keep in mind when I photoshopped some curtains as well as a rug into the last photo of this publish about our new light as well as chairs? as well as I pointed out in the comments that West Elm had a rug sale (making the one we liked $100 off) so we pulled the activate on it?
Well, stated rug has shipped as well as is on its method to our home as I type this (cue the celebratory rug-welcoming drum line!) – which got me all hyper about nailing down a window treatment idea. particularly considering that you people had some fun recommendations (everything from roman shades as well as other colored/patterned curtains to no window coverings in any way however a deeper accent color on that back wall). So let’s play around with a window fashion show for a second, shall we?
This is the original rendering from the end of that post:

Next I tried curtains that are less emerald as well as a lot more leafy green.
Then I went kind of taupe-gray with them, just to see exactly how that would look.
Next I tried a soft blue-gray color to tie into the rug.
Then I added subtly patterned roman shades (found here), which I believed I would like however they seemed a bit hectic with the rug.
Next I tried making that back wall a deeper color while leaving the windows totally bare.
Then it was back to roman shades, however I tried to make them look a lot more like basic white ones to get an concept of exactly how those may feel.
I likewise tried on some curtains against the deeper back wall, however that felt like as well much going on.
So I took the back wall back to its original color, left the curtains, as well as added bamboo blinds. Ooh. Something started tingling. It felt layered as well as warm (the blinds connected into the cream light in a great way).
See exactly how much of a difference just a rug as well as some window treatments can make?
I likewise tried the exact same bamboo blinds + curtains combo with blue curtains instead of gray ones. We like both choices (we may lean somewhat a lot more towards the gray ones, however aren’t 100% sure) so the choosing aspect may be what type of material we find.
We’re going to wait to pick the material up until the rug is really right here as well as rolled out on the floor, just so we can compare them in person, however we absolutely feel better to a option than we did a few days back when roman shades, curtains, as well as dark back walls swirled with our heads.

Do you make mood boards? often we’ll autumn in like with a piece of furniture or a wall color (in person or in an motivation image) as well as we’re 100% sold, as well as other times I discover myself making a mood board or essentially trying things in the space if we just can’t photo something well sufficient to commit.
