Now that we've shared our new Master Bedroom paint color, it's time to clue you in to our design scheme!
Ready for... Bitter Chocolate with gold, bright red, and navy blue!?!
It does sound crazy, BUT, how cute does this look?
It is funny, if anyone said to me "How about a dark brown with gold, bright red, and navy blue accents?" I would have thought it sounded awful. But I can't think of anything more different and perfect for the room my husband and I share!
Here's our blank slate...
The whole idea started from an article in House Beautiful. They used the "simplicity of blues" with dark brown paneled walls. The image that struck me the most was the brown + geranium red photo at the bottom right. |

After seeing that, I found more images of dark browns with pops of red or navy blue...
