Same Look 4 Less – Spa Decor for the Spare Bedroom

For this month’s Same Look 4 Less  we update a college bound young man’s room to serve double purpose; as a yoga room for his mom and a room for him when he visits his parents. Designers Cavin-Winfrey and Zlock, of SCW Interiors created this room for the Washington Post House Calls.

Though the room meets all the homeowner’s needs somehow it is not calling my name. To me it looks dull with all that beige, keep in mind that this is coming from a beige lover. As the home owner  likes gray and red colors I would have opted for a grayish paint color like the Dunn Edwards Muslin. Also would have brought in more natural elements to amp up the serenity of the room to give it a spa like feel. Something like this;
