Most people find it difficult to decide on a particular pattern or color for the designated room.
Is there a certain color from an existing couch, wallpaper design or painting etc. Floral, contemporary and masculine patterns all can be coordinated with solid color, check or striped designs. In a light colored room setting, use semi dark colors or patterns on your bed or window, to break up the rooms neutral setting. Lampshades and decorative throw pillows provide a great, inexpensive way to add additional color to the room. Privacy and sun control seems to be the primary concern when deciding on window coverings.
