Just Four Things: Which One Wednesday

January 25, 2012 by Courtney 65 Comments

We are back with the third part of Just Four Things. In case you missed the last installments, each Wednesday I present you with two choices to help design a client’s room. In the end, I will reveal how the room came together and see if your design eye got it right. We are working with Brittany and her husband on their master bedroom. I love that Brittany is enthusiastic and so ready to jump in to make the changes. That makes for a dream client. just4 Client Space IMG_1753_thumb_thumb1 IMG_4319 They have a fresh coat of paint on the walls and have already chosen a bright white bedding from Pottery Barn and a gorgeous set of fabrics to use in the room. Bedding Grand Embroidered Duvet Cover, Twin, Sandalwood Image (3)   Last week you all weighed in on the drapes! It was very much split. Some of you felt we should do a print at the top of the drape while others voted for the bottom. And a few of you threw in a third suggestion of trimming the edges. You can click here to read more about the drapery decision! It will be fun to see what Brittany and her husband decide to go with.   Here is a reminder of what we plan to do: the design plan   Bedding Drapes Artwork above Bed New Lamps   Item Number Three: Lamps Do you like the idea of adding a bit of glam with the glass lamp or infusing a pop of color with the turquoise lamp? image Which one would you choose for our client? Number one or Number two.  Please leave a comment below and cast your vote!

    I would go with number one, but just because I don't like things to be too much coordinated. Nevertheless option two is gorgeous.

    Definitely #2! I think the glass lamps would get lost in that large a room.

    #2. They're both beautiful, but I like the idea of some color and the more interesting shape.

    Number 2 because of it's weight. However I really like glass lamps. a glass gourd lamp would be perfect!

    In thinking about the whole picture, I think that Lamp Option #1 is the best choice. I feel that you want to keep your pop of colour as an accent, you do not have to have it everywhere. I think that the bling of Option #1 would be an elegant enhancement.

    Both are lovely…the glass is a nice "texture" to add to the room, but I have to agree with the others, #2 has a visual weight that works. If your client prefers the look of glass, go for something with a bigger glass base.

    Well I have lamps similar to #1 in my bedroom, so naturally I love those. However, I have dark blue walls, so I had to have something more nuetral to not contrast with the wall. Since her walls are a nuetral color to start with, the splash of color on lamps #2 might make them pop!

    I really love both lamps so it's hard to choose. I guess for this room, I would choose lamp #2. With the wall color and the bedding, I would choose color.

    This is looking ahead, but I would want to know if the wall art was going to have some color. If the wall art is colorful I would not want to draw attention away from it with a colorful lamp. So I vote #1 if the wall art has pop and #2 if it doesn't. Personally, I would take the opportunity to draw the eye more to beautiful artwork than lamps.

    They both look great, but would go with #1 as to not add too much blue to the room. The glass lamps will last them through any color changes that they may make one day.
