I absolutely love peeking into the homes of “normal people” and see what design solutions they have come up with. This bedroom from HGTV’s Rate My Space  added by user Drmerwoman, I found particularly beautiful and inspiring:

*

A soft taupe colored wall and carpet is topped of with a slightly lighter beige ceiling. Deep brown furniture, and the bed looks to be upholstered with some sort of velour or suede. A hint of color is introduced through teal colored throw pillows.

*

I love how she didn’t go overboard on the color, but keeps it very toned down and in the same color depth as the walls. This makes the white really pop! The quilt is so structural and pretty, it is from pottery barn, get it here!

*

The infamous white Barcelona Chair fits in perfectly with its sleek timeless design. Paired with a silver finish side table and white shaded floor lamp, it constitutes the perfect little reading corner.

*

Time for some funky designs by interior designer Anne Coyle:

*

Black and white striped wallpaper adds an element of fun to this living room. The gray velour sofa looks super soft!

*

Now this is what I would call a Funky bed! Black bedroom with pink velour bed and smoky green bedside tables! Oh, and how about that black and white zig-zag floor?!

*

A flat screen TV blends in with picture frames of various shapes and sizes. A plexi glass shelving unit acts as a magazine library.

*

Cozy bedroom seating area consisting of a corner sectional couch and a super low octagonal coffee table.

*

This white bed is amazing! Looks especially good as a contrast to the red wall!

Between the bed and seating area is yet another seating option!

The white tulip table is a design classic. Here combined with simple wood chairs on metal frames.

The console table-mirror combo is a popular way of dressing a wall where nothing else is going on.. Nice zebra mirror, and the lamps are hot!

A ray of sunshine from one of my favorite designers, Eileen Kathryn Boyd. I love the classic cream color hues she put together with mimosa yellow. In most cases the yellow would really take all of your eyes attention when paired with a neutral background, but see how Eileen has balanced the color throughout the room. The chairs and throw pillows  are the major sources of color, and the yellow ribbons on the curtains balance the color throughout the room.  It is all in the symmetry and balance here.
