Just Four Things: Which One Wednesday

It was so much fun working on Melissa’s dining room project with Just Four Things so the series returns with a master bedroom makeover! In case you missed the last installment, each Wednesday I present you with two choices to help design a client’s room. In the end, I will reveal how the room came together and see if your design eye got it right.

As you can see, they have experimented with décor above the bed. Prior to beginning our project, the clients put a fresh coat of paint on the walls { Quiver Tan } and the drapes are down so you can better visualize the space. I love how rich the walls are. But this room needs our love. The clients are not opposed to some pops of color and gravitate towards graphic prints.

I want this to be a place that they love walking into at the end of each day. A master bedroom should be one of your favorite spots in the house. So here is what I plan to do with Just Four Things:

the design plan

 

Bedding

Drapes

Artwork above Bed

New Lamps

 

Item Number One: New Bedding

Our clients prefer a nice crisp white bedding {as do I}. What I love about a nice white duvet cover is that you can infuse personality and color with great fabrics. So the choice is yours. With their newly painted cocoa colored walls and crisp white bedding, what family of fabrics would you use?

Grand Embroidered Duvet Cover, Twin, Sandalwood

 

Choice #1

Choice #2

Which one would you choose for this room? Please leave a comment on this post and let’s see which one of the fabric families you would select for Brittany and her husband. {Important to note: All choices presented fit within the client’s budget}.

Is your vote for Choice #1 or Choice #2?

  1. I have to vote #2. I like that there are two geometric prints mixed with one pattern, and I love the color palette. They look soothing but still interesting and vibrant. This is a fun series!

  2. At first I thought number 1 but no, I vote for #2, like it better! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  3. Definitely choice 1. Love the orange. Great series.

    ReplyDelete
  4. I love both but I think with the wall color fabrics #2 would compliment it better.

  5. Num ber two, num ber two.
    Both are beautiful but, I like the second one best. Can't wait to see it.

  6. Oh that's so hard b/c I love them both... there's something so catchy about the tangerine color but selection 2 is gorgeous, soft and timeless... I guess 2!

    ReplyDelete
  7. I vote with Jackie - No. 2 would be my preference.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Number 1! I like the brighter colors if they are going with all white bedding.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I pick choice # 2!!! I love the centre fabric! Hopefully you will post the details at some point. Love this series - so much fun!

    ReplyDelete
  10. I love both but I think number 2 would keep the color scheme soft and warm. It would also tie into the wall color much better.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Holy cow--this is a tough choice--I love them both. BUT--I have to go with option #2. I love it!

    ReplyDelete
  12. I love both of them, but I'm partial to turquoise and orange, so I'm going with number 1.

    ReplyDelete
  13. #2 The orange and turquoise combo is too trendy..plus I think most people tire of orange too quickly.

    ReplyDelete
  14. tough choice, but i vote for #1. love the tangerine.

    ReplyDelete
  15. #2 definitely! I love cooler tones in a bedroom.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Choice #2! I think it will look gorgeous against the walls.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Though I personally would chose number one, I think your description of your client would lead me to chose number two for them.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I like both! I think number one will infuse more energy with the orange and number 2 will set a more relaxing feel so maybe 2 since it's a bedroom.

  19. I love both choices, but I think #1 is just a little more interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Great choices, but for the master I'd go with #2! It's more calming, which is what I would want in my bedroom. :) Such a fun series!!

    ReplyDelete
  21. I like choice #2 because I think it lends itself to a more serene, cozy feeling that's nice to have in a bedroom!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Love them both but would opt for #2 for this project. I'm already brewing ideas to use these in our house!!

    ReplyDelete
  23. #2 - there are more creams in #2 which will flow better with the wall color.
    Cant wait to see it finished! Im sure it will be awesome

    ReplyDelete
  24. I would go with choice number 1 because the orange really would pop in the room, versus the blue.

    I am a new follower to your blog & am loving it!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Love the colors in #2!! This is going to be another fun project!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  26. I love #2 - the colors just say "relax" to me! I can't wait to see the results of this project!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I think fabric family 2is where my heart lies. i love the mix of traditional prints (trellis) and more fun prints. I think the colors in one will give you leeway and will work nicely with the new room color.

    On a side note, I would appreciate your help in spreading the word on my new give away for a $50 gift card from Pier One: https://courtneyoutloud.wordpress.com/2012/01/11/pier-1-imports-gift-card-give-away/

    I can't wait to see the curtains!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I love both but I would say #2!!

    ReplyDelete
  29. oooh i pick # 1 just because of the bright pop of orange in there!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Loving orange right now, so my vote is option 1!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Love both of them but going with #1

    ReplyDelete
  32. love the soothing colors of #2

    ReplyDelete
  33. Choice #2 grabbed my attention instantly!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Oh, that is a hard choice. I really like #1, but I know that in my MB I like things to be a little more subdued, so I think #2.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Hmmm... my vote would have to be for #1. I love the bright pop of the orange!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Family 2!! So pretty and calming!

    ReplyDelete
  37. #2! Love them both but prefer the calm, soothing colors of option 2 for a mb. Can't wait to see it all come together!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Two! Two! I feel like I'm on the Price is Right!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Both very pretty. I vote for option 2 with her cocoa colored walls.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I love #2 and also plan to use similar colors when I design our master bedroom soon! I love the 4 Things series!

    ReplyDelete
  41. My gut says color palette 2 but that would be a little safe. I choose #1 it is fun and fresh. Something great to wake up to each morning.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I love blue and brown!! I'm all about #2.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I love both choices... however I would definitely say #2 is my clear winner ;) I can't wait to see what you come up with for numbers 2, 3 and 4!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Gotta go with #2! We just got rid of their former bedding (the Cole silk duvet from PB), and I do NOT miss how wrinkly it always got...I am sure Brittany and her husband will find the same to be true!

    ReplyDelete
  45. I really like them both, but I'm going with option #2 because I think those colors are more serene, which is desirable in a bedroom. Can't wait to see the next step! :)

    ReplyDelete
  46. I choose #2. I really like the teal with tans and whites.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I would pick number one. Tangerine is a big color for 2012, and I love it's warmth.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I think two is a good choice, but a safe choice. The fun of the orange and blue in number 1 would really make things pop...

    ReplyDelete
  49. Like the first combo a lot, but more for a living room, so definitely going with NUMBER TWO!!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Personally I would go with choice #2. What a fun series for us.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Loving the tangerine, but for some reason I'd go with #2! Both are beautiful though. Can't wait to see how this one turns out!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Hmmm...I'm usually a "the more the better" when it comes to color...but I'm really lovin' #2! This is an absolutely awesome series, girl! It's inspiring me to get some new stuff going because hey, I could do it in 4, right? (c:

    ReplyDelete
  53. #2 please!! I adore #1, but with the Quiver Tan paint color... gotta choose #2. Can't wait to check-in each Wednesday - what fun!

    ReplyDelete
  54. This is such a fun series! I think # 1 has a bright and cheerful feel about it. #2 felt a little more masculine.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I love both but I think #2 will better go with the wall colour!

    ReplyDelete
  56. I like number 2 better! Can't wait to see how this one turns out!

    ReplyDelete
  57. I personally like #1, but maybe not for a bedroom. So I choose #2.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Definitely #2. Enough color without being too bold. I love more subdued colors in a Master.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Both are great choices but I love the pop of orange in #1. I hope you have an electronic tallier to help sort through the amazing response to your wonderful series!

  60. I love choice #2, it would look great with the crisp white linens and warm cocoa walls.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I love choice #2, it would look great with the crisp white linens and warm cocoa walls.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I think #2, it is more relaxing. Can you share your sources for all the bedding choices? Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  63. I think orange is going to be a little overdone this year, so I'd go with #2, so pretty!

    ReplyDelete
  64. I like the second one I'm not a huge fan of orange, even though it will be everywhere this year.

    ReplyDelete
  65. #2!!! I think you may tire of the orange in the bedding accents. You could add a pop of orange on the walls or w/a small pillow. #2 is so pleasing to the eye.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I vote 1, but based on the client's current room, i think they'd be most comfortable with 2. But you can't go wrong with either!

    ReplyDelete
  67. I like both choices but I love the colors for Choice #1. Going with 1.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I love the first choice but agree that choice 2 is best for that room. The browns and tans in the second pallet will look amazing with that wall color.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Just the blues in one with those sheets...

    ReplyDelete
  70. #2. Fun series..looking forward to following along and seeing the process.

  71. #2 is so calming and soothing, i don't know how you could not!!!

    ReplyDelete
  72. Oh how I love this series. It was a no-brainer for me. #2. GORGEOUS colors!

    ReplyDelete
  73. For me, #2 just oozes peace and tranquility.

    ReplyDelete
  74. #2, love the blues & green in the middle pillow. And love this series! Reminds me how just a couple tweaks can make a huge difference.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Love both options, but #2 is my favorite! I think it will go best with the walls and is a look they won't tire of easily.

    ReplyDelete
  76. What is the floral fabric in choice 2? Love it! # 2 !
