HGTV Dream Home 2006: Attic Bedroom Pictures

White walls, a soaring white ceiling and a white-painted floor give the attic bedroom a sense of airiness and lightness. Above the bed is an antique floral hooked rug in deep shades of red and brown, stretched on a canvas and hung on the wall. 'The rug was the beginning of this,' says HGTV Dream Home designer Linda Woodrum. 'I loved the brown and red together.'

Using the rug as her design inspiration, Linda chose a variety of red and brown accents to use against the creamy white basic palette. A brown and white striped rug warms the floor, and semi-sheer white curtains with a pale brown floral pattern enhance the large view window. Red and cream sheets and a white quilt from Pottery Barn cover the queen-size bed, and red-patterned throw pillows add even more color. Two botanical prints in red frames provide a splash of color by the door.
