The Ideal Bedroom

A bedroom is more than just a place to sleep in. It is the one place that is entirely your own, your sanctuary. And the first priority is the bed. The choice of bed will of course depend on the décor or theme that you want to create. Which in turn should reflect your personality? So choose the bed first and then place everything else in the room that will complement it.

Mix and match the colors of the bedspread with the walls and curtains, combining prints and plains. Add accents with cushions and rugs. Play around with lighting to create the right ambience and you will have a bedroom you will not want to leave.

Retro Bedrooms

Designing a retro bedroom involves creating a theme reminiscent of the 60’s or 70’s. Don’t stress over the colors of the walls, instead use rugs or posters with big, bold floral designs in vibrant colors. You can also use curtains or upholstery with colorful geometric patterns or block and paisley prints. And use checkerboard patterns for the flooring.

Add accessories like pop art reminiscent of Andy Warhol combined with Tiffany or Lava lamps. Play around with patterned mirrors and stained glass in bright colors. Exotic Indian throw rugs and shawls draped over furniture will complete the look with a little help from potted palms placed strategically in corners.
