When
decorating a bedroom, keep in mind that the end result should produce a
disitnct and memorable impression. Colors, space and decorations all set a
bedroom's mood, and when put together well, can create a definite, pleasurable
look.
When
it comes to the arrangement of items in a bedroom, symmetry is the most
important factor. The bedroom is your personal space and should not be
cluttered with too many objects creating a claustrophobic effect. For a room to
seem personal, special touches should be added that reflect your special loves
and interests. This includes your favorite colors, books, photographs, etc.
Make
sure colors are balanced in subtle shades reflecting your lifestyle and interests.
The older generation seems to prefer more subdued shades than the younger
generation, who opt for bright, textured colors. To maintain balance, the color
of a chair placed at one end of the room can be repeated on throw, pillows or
carpet. Furniture in the bedroom is of utmost importance.
Don't
over do it with too many pieces making your bedroom look overdressed and
cluttered. The size of the bed should be in proportion to the size of the
bedroom. What matters the most is comfort. Therefore, a bed should offer
quality, comfort and a feeling of elegance. Nightstands or side tables should
be on either side of the bed for books, medications and telephone. A dressing
table comes in handy for women, and dressers with lots of storage space are
ideal. Ample closet space is important, as are mirrors and wall decor. Mirrors
help to give a room a larger look and also help to reflect light. Lighting
should be gentle and relaxing. Valence
lighting is ideal for bedrooms, and colored lights can be used for added effects.
Subtle light gives a romantic feeling to the room, and focused light is good
for detail work like reading without disturbing someone sleeping in the
room.
