Ohhh, I like these ideas.Right now, my rooms are comfortable, but not too much going on. آ You'd think they are just "girly" by the sound of the color, but, I have a nice pink color on the walls, that looks good in low lighting and is not offensive with full light either. آ I guess there are probably some blue tones in the paint somewhere (which keeps it from looking like a pink polka dot shirt). آ Believe it or not, a lady or a man can work in it and not feel out of place.Accents are maroon/wine or white sheets with a maroon or wine blanket, with lots of wood and bamboo for the cabinets and end tables. آ Some asian influence wall items finish up the accents.Why do I like it... it makes me feel calm. آ I think I recall something about a pink room for drunks to go to in jail, years ago when I was in kindergarten and they took us to the city jail for a field trip -- if I recall that correctly, then I have to put my two cents in, that it works. آ However, maybe I remember wrong, and then, I'd just have to say, it works for me! آ ;DLove the thread!
PS: آ I have worked in a taupe room before and really enjoyed it. آ Very soothing and the clients just melted into the table.I have also worked in a room that was all tile on the walls. آ It was a vichy shower (I don't think I ever spell that right) before. آ I used those little, plastic round suction hangers, that can suction to a glass window and purchased lots of silk ivy. آ I put a few very thick, small square shaped glass / vase-type bottles with glass beads in them, in two of the corners of the room. آ They were the kind that you can't break brcause they are soooo think (I am sure if you wanted to throw them around a lot then you could break them, but I can't say I have clients like that *yea!*). آ In the vase-type holders, I then put a thick clump of ivy and from the "clump"... I made "runners" all the way up and across the walls. آ This served as my decorations to look at and gave it a nice roman spa type of feel to the room. I added one of those little roman pillars as my "end table" in the corner for a few candles. آ I have to say, it took a while to figure out what would actually stay on the wall at all, until I came up with the suction cups, and it felt like I was in the funny farm until I got something up. آ At first the boss wasn't happy, but I tell you, I had to do something. آ The bare walls were just too much.Everybody ended up liking the end-result when they came in... the boss never really got on board... but, what can you say? آ Sometimes they never do!
