green polka dots: making it work

kari contacted me because she was struggling 
with her daughters room:

she loves the green and white polka-dotted comforter,
but was not sure what color to paint the walls, 
or what to pair with the green.
here's what i came up with:
adding yellow creates an analogous scheme,
enhancing visual harmony.
touches of black and white
provide contrast and a 
little bit of chic.
to read more about analogous color schemes,
read the post i wrote for design dazzle here.

  1. It is amazing what a talented designer can do! I would have worked to discourage her from using the comforter!! But, I love the combination. Really makes it look sophisticated. M.
