Simple Color Palette

To make things fuss-free, choose white for your walls and linens, and then mix in an accent color that you love. “Lately, I’ve been obsessed with a pale shade of blue-gray,” Heather says. “It’s so calming, perfect for a bedroom.” She used navy blue details to complete the look. She elevated her plain white curtains by adding a blue ribbon trim and found sheets with a simple scallop accent.

Wall paint: Extra White (SW7006) by Sherwin-Williams; sherwin-williams.com.
Ceiling paint: Jubilee (SW6248) half solution, also by Sherwin-Williams.
Paint on moving parts of windows: Jubilee (SW6248) full strength, also by Sherwin-Williams.
Rug: For a similar look, try the Braided Jute Rug, from Ballard Designs, ballarddesigns.com.
