modern lighting..modern comforter and curtains..a few modern pictures for wall..i would keep light walls as the furniture is heavy in appearance..can u keep just the bed and dresser and have a few modern pieces..it all depends on style of antiques..victorian,colonial etc.
I have a billion ideas for this!
1. Paint the walls light yellow, the furniture red, have white bedding with aqua bed runner and other accents.
2. Lavender walls, bright white furniture, light blue bedding, and darker purple accents.
3. Aqua walls, cream furniture, neon green bedding, and black accents.
4. Bright red walls, white furniture, black and white bedding and accents.
5. Same as for with bright blue walls.
Those are some color themes but in general have patterns, fun colors and lots of lighting. Don’t be afraid to be bold but make other things but the furniture stand out. Maybe a rug, bedding, or an accent wall. Depending on what you want should be the colors. Also, the size of your room. Small rooms light colors. Have fun!
