Cool Ways to Decorate Your Bedroon With Black, White & Purple With Zebra Stripes

Walls

• Paint the walls purple if it's not too overwhelming in the room. Lighter shades such as lavender may work best. Add a black and white zebra print border around the top of the walls. Paint the bottom half of the walls in purple and black zebra stripes and white on top with a chair rail or solid black border separating the two if all purple is too much for you. Alternatively, paint purple zebra stripes on one wall as an accent wall with the other three white. Use white or black for the other color in the zebra stripes. For a less bold option, add a simple zebra print border around white walls. Avoid adding too many zebra stripe details in the room, or it will look chaotic.

Furniture

• Include your furniture in your design if the walls are left plain white. Use a headboard upholstered with purple or zebra print fabric. Paint your dresser purple with black and white zebra drawers or knobs, and paint the back of your shelf purple and black zebra stripes. Add a zebra print border to your furniture, or apply zebra print peel-and-stick circular decals to your furniture. Plain black or white furniture is best against purple or zebra stripe walls.

Bedding

• Introducing your black, white and purple color scheme with a zebra stripe pattern through your bedding is the best option if you don't want to go too bold or if you like to update the look of your bedroom frequently. Mix it up with a comforter set that includes large patches of different patterns, such as solid purple, zebra stripes, solid black and perhaps another animal print, such as cheetah or leopard. Solid purple sheets and pillows will anchor a busy comforter while zebra print sheets and pillows will add some zing to a solid purple or black comforter.

Accessories

• Use bold zebra print accessories to dress up a bedroom mostly done in solid black and white, which will allow you to easily update the look of the room in an instant. A purple lamp with a black and white zebra print lampshade trimmed with purple feathers will dress up a solid white nightstand, dresser or dressing table. Toss a zebra print pillow on a purple chair with a zebra print ottoman to stand out against a white wall. Frame black-and-white pictures with a black and white zebra striped frame and purple mat.
