Large bedrooms may just
seem too big with the minimalist arrangement of beds,
nightstands and dressers and have extra space that
could have been used for more fruitful purposes.
Use this space and transform your bedroom into a
chic bedroom retreat and a romantic getaway by applying these
easy tips:
You can lend your bedroom a sleek
contemporary touch or decorate it in lavish classical décor
depending on your taste by setting the appropriate furniture
in the room.
Lifestyle furniture arrangements and
architectural elements such as a foot stand at the end of your
bed, canopy beds and armoires or treasure chests can add a
customized touch to your bedroom.
Wall colors and wallpaper patterns, fabrics
for furnishings, bedspreads and pillows along with accessories
can make your bedroom look romantic, period room or rustic
according to the texture and choices that you have made.
Stick with your theme and decorate your
bedroom to make yourself feel comfortable in it.
Romantic European-style furniture made of
rich and deep toned woods such as cherry and walnut and having
stains such as cocoa, java or sienna are long lasting and
always popular. It can be used in conjunction with painted
wood and iron bed, nightstand or armoire for a tasteful blend
of styles.
To maintain the harmony in room, keep a
repeated pattern of style, color or scale while decorating
your room.
Stimulate romantic feelings by adding lavish
pillows, throws and duvets in deep bright hues in the bed and
sheer draperies made up of light fly-away fabric around it.
For lavish and extravagant look, use high
thread count bed sheets, fabric with a rich smooth soft
texture such as silks and velvets for tapestries, linens and
bedding.
Chandeliers and beaded lamps and accessories
also make the bedroom look luxurious. You can hang a larger
one over the bed and two small complementing ones over the
nightstands in a large bedroom to make it look unique.
Fresh flowers and fragrant candles arranged
in Japanese style make the room look peaceful and relaxing.
Use straw wall hangings, wooden finishes and
matte wall colors in earthy tones for a rustic look.
Color palette of the bedroom should
incorporate colors that you enjoy in all moods and you
wouldn't get bored over time.
You can add stylish and functional furniture
pieces in addition to the basic furniture arrangement in the
bedroom for a customized space where you can relax, as you
want.
Besides dressers, you can also use treasure
chests and wardrobes for additional storage space or make a
small reading room at one side of your bedroom complete with a
study lamp for those late night readings.
If you watch television in your bedroom, you
can incorporate higher headboards in the bed to support your
back.
Platform beds are in vogue these days.
Footboards can be adjusted according to your
height to support your feet when sitting up in bed or you can
use two footboards to accommodate couples of different
heights.
