My Bonus Room Ideas

Here are my ideas so far on how I'm going to decorate our bonus room. Right now it's a large blank canvas: white walls and white carpet. Here's what I've got for furniture so far and I'll feature what I'm thinking to add to my new bonus room with wall color, furniture and accessories.




We have a sectional sofa in this color and I'm just trying to figure out which pillows would look better or if I should go with solid pillows.


My coffee table and two end tables look kind of like these except a little bit bigger. The color is almost exact. As you can see, we already have a lot of brown pieces in the space. We are also going to place this table below in the bonus room to use for card games or puzzles. We got table from Ikea below, but we have it with 4 chairs instead of the 2 featured here.



Let's start with the wall color- currently it is white, but it will need some warming up. First, I'd like to split the wall in two and have white on the bottom and a blueish gray color on the top like these two photos below.


I'd like to add this white paneling to the bottom or maybe just put up a chair rail.


I like this blueish gray color or maybe a little bit darker, but this is really close to break up all of the white.

On one wall we have three large windows that will need drapes. I'm thinking about getting these curtains for the middle window and then the solid ones will be placed on the other 2 windows below.

Here is an example of the carpet I would like to get for the bonus room. I'm thinking that the two pillow options that I have on the tan couches above won't work so I'm on the search for some more pillows.


These pillows are really cute that I found on More Olives Please Blog. It matches the curtains and the rug but I would really like to find a pillow like this with a little bit of tan or brown in it to match all of the wood pieces and coach.


I don't think these will match the curtains, but these are super cute!


You can't go wrong with blue on white damask pillows! I'll definitely have to do some more shopping to find the right pillows, but I think this is a great start so far. Let me know if anyone has any ideas. I'll be decorating room by room when Lance and I move in Oct. 28th!!! Can't wait!!

I like the pattern throw pillows with the leaves in the bold color. They really pop on that couch, much better than the stripe pillows. I think the patter also helps give it a more modern feel.
