I have been bringing the bedrooms of a summer camp into the present day decorating-wise. Regrettably, I did not take a ‘before’ picture, which would have shown the dramatic transformation. Essentially, the room was a dingy beige-yellow with burnt orange carpet and drapes to match which had not changed in 40 (yes, 40) years! A fresh beige-gray paint color and soft grey carpet were the foundation for this very serene room. Linen drapes in a flax color frame the windows and various accent pieces with soft gold and glass complete the look.

Large prints stacked help to add height to the space.
Keeping accessories minimal and staying in a monotone color scheme add to the soft yet very glamorous treatment that this room received. All white on white linens with the classic greek key design result in a light and breezy feeling for this summer bedroom.
What makes it work?
Below are closer looks at some of the elements in this room.
