Jane Snukis · Answer

Go with shabby chic so it doesnt end up looking like a 9 year old girls room!

Hollie Halverson · Answer

Those are the colors of flowers. Pinterest is great for color pallettes. Just search color pallettes and you will see all different shades and what colors go with them.

Pink and green tropical is great. Could also do green trellis with pink flowers. Could do a 'Tiffany lamp' type pattern.

Unless it's a total surprise for her,  I would ask Grandma what she likes, look at some photos with her and then start .

Etta · Answer

Hello what a nice thing to do. I agree with Barbara, what does Grandma like.

Sue C · Answer

A pink and green toile wallpaper could be really beautiful!

Marcia · Answer

I would paint the walls a blush color with brighter pink and green accessories so they can be changed out. Either of you may want to change the color scheme later. But definitely ask her what she thinks and go thru magazines to see what makes her smile.

Mikkigirl · Answer

Taupe walls with peach bedding and curtains. Gold accents in throw pillows, etc.

Trish · Answer

I would go with the shabby chic look all white with some special pink and green acents maybe on the bedding and curtains.

I think a French Country look with blush pink and pale sage green would be beautiful and it wouldn't look like a little girl's room. Use 'adult' fabrics like satin and linen to give a sophisticated look.

Wanda.ll · Answer

I would go with white walls and then to the French country myself too. The older you get the more light you need in a room to see good. So white everything except stuff like pillows and girly things. Perfume bottles or decorative bottles, flowers and a soft comfy chair/chaise maybe out of something very soft.If have rood a small desk to use to write, computer and put makeup on. .But what would she like? What is her style soft, hard, grily or just something she can use? Ask her.

Liz Straughn · Answer

I would ask Grandma!  Does she like soft colors, bold colors?  Is she country, shabby chic, modern? If it's a surprise, see how her tastes are now and expand on it.  If she likes shabby chic, go with mostly soft colors, then throw in some bright throw pillows (for the couch/chair or bed.  Be sure and include some of her pictures of family possibly reframed in nice frames.

Moxie · Answer

Maybe you coukd glean ideas from a few of your grandmas favorite things abd design around the in style and color so the space feeks like home to her

Liz Straughn · Answer

Go to some estate sales or garage sales. You might find some chenille (sp?) spreads. You can usually get them for $5-$20. If you find two, you can make pillows with one and use the best one for a spread. They come in different pastels. If you don't really care for pastel ones, get a white one and use bright colors for the throw pillows and pillow cases.

Sharon,  Id look  at places like Goodwill and Salvation Army, That's what I'm doing with my mom, Who is 85 and just 'inherited' a friends hand down couch that's pine green, she hates green so she doesn't have a thing in her apt that goes with this couch. we've been to the places I mentioned and found really cheap candle sticks, a vase and a lamp.
