I came across this fantastic Better Homes & Gardens cover not too long ago (it's from the archives, a couple years old!) But this room is still so fresh and relevant, I thought I'd use this as an inspiration image and show how to take inspiration from a room - maybe you like the overall scheme or certain elements - and bring it into your own space.
For instance, with this room -
design by Erin Gates / Elements of Style
I love the clean lines of the bedding and found a similar bordered sheet set in porcelain blue. To capture the navy / orangey-coral scheme, I added on these bright orange throw pillows. The brown faux fur blanket is reminiscent of the the warmer tones in the room, as is the jute rug. These fantastic white night stands seen on Ebay have curved legs similar to their inspiration. I took the fun leopard print from the bench and extended that out to accent frames. Punching in some color with a statement hot pink pillow (that also has a fabulous hand-painted leopard - two birds one stone! ).
It's fun to look at a room, analyze why you like it and then go pick out your inspirations!

What do you think? :)
