How to Decorate a Bedroom in Robin's Egg Blue & Chocolate

Paint the walls in a chocolate brown if the bedroom is large. Tiny bedrooms look bigger if you use the robin's egg blue or an off-white as the wall color. Another option is to paint the top section of the walls with the robin's egg blue and install off-white wainscoting in the lower wall section.

Use bedding in the robin's egg blue shade and add accents of chocolate brown with picture frames and other furnishings. Wise ideas include a brown leather chair or a dark chest, wall hangings, draperies, wastebaskets, lamps or other decor constructed of a dark brown rattan or wicker material.

Toss pillows that contain the robin's egg blue color onto chocolate brown bedding. This prevents the area from looking somber and depressing. Choose solid blue pillows or utilize abstract designs or floral prints depending on whether you desire a minimalist, contemporary or country style.

Pick cushions for a cedar chest, rocking chair, bench or window seat. Use the opposite color of that used in the bedding. For instance, if the bedding is chocolate, use robin's egg blue for the cushion fabric.

Go with a minimalist style by choosing an off-white or cream-colored bedspread. Incorporate the chocolate color in the bedroom by using dark wood tones or painting the wood furniture this color. Add a splash of the robin's egg blue color by painting the baseboards, window trim or crown molding in this shade. Another way to make the blue shade pop is to set a blue vase, lamp or sculpture on the dresser or an end table, or choose a picture frame in this color.

Pick a rug to lay beside the bed in the blue or chocolate shade opposite of what is used in the bedding. This gives the bedroom a look of unity.
