Redecorated my room last weekend! (update #36: new colors for the "kitty room"!)

I was getting so tired of the colors here in my apartment, and I felt it's really time for something new. After painting my corridor in January, I now decided to redecorate my bedroom. This is also the room where my computer table is, which means that I'm spending a lot of time there - and so do the girls!

I was really really tired of the yellowish and reddish walls, and the blue carpet and curtains. I did a lot of soul-searching until I finally came up with an idea for a new color scheme: chocolate, nougat, cream and pistachio-green. The idea was that I wanted to make my old black furniture "disappear" in front of the dark walls - and I think it works, their ugliness is less obvious now.

And for some reason - despite of the dark colors - the room looks much bigger now! I like the result a lot, and so do the girls, as it seems. *g*

Here are some photos:

The best deco pieces of all:

The next project will be my kitchen btw, and after that, the kitties' room.

You did a terrific job!
I should hire you to come do my home.

But then you'd have 3 totally different looking kitties and 2 doggies to match. LOL

WOW is all i can say Kirsten, i love the colours you have chosen, they look wonderful, when you wrote them down i had could image something yummy to eat, being a chocoholic,never far from my mind lol, and the fur accessories, well what can one say BEAUTIFUL, thanks for sharing and enjoy your new decor.

Speaking of dark colours i too have light colours ,it is not that i don't like dark ones just not daring enough, however our daughter choose a nice dark rich red for her very small bedroom., i really was not keen, it had been a light yellowish cream, and the results are great, along with black curtains and a red and black chinese print duvet,and with white skirting boards and a wood ceiling it looks really good.
