Some Of The Best Bedroom
Decorating Ideas Are Really Quite Simple
Most of us can't afford to have a professional
decorator design new rooms every time we tire of the décor. Usually, it's not
the furniture that we tire of, but what is on and around our carefully chosen
furniture.
It's usually accent pieces, drapes, or simply the color of the walls that lose
their freshness, causing us to get bored with the whole room and have an itch to
redecorate. Here's an idea which is simple, inexpensive and makes that room's
appeal last much longer. This applies to any room, but has particular usefulness
as a bedroom decorating idea.
Our bedrooms are the private rooms in our homes, and we spend quiet times, just
waking up and sipping coffee, reading or talking to our spouse. We come to
associate relaxing feelings with the bedroom. When we want to relax and enjoy
kicking back, we don't want to look around and say, “Oh, I can't stand this
bedspread any more!” We want our bedroom to be inviting, not boring.
You might think that bedroom decorating ideas come with a premium price tag,
requiring a complete makeover to freshen the look. The truth is, bedroom
decorating ideas can be as simple as a change of throw pillows and some new lamp
shades. A new set of curtains can change the whole mood of the bedroom.
These bedroom decorating ideas require that you start with squinting your eyes
and looking around the room. Really! Squint your eyes slightly and cast your
gaze around the room. Take different vantage points. Lie on the bed. Stand in
the doorway. What's the first thing that catches your critical eye? Is it that
old picture you're fond of, but tired of looking at? Your bedspread is pretty,
but you've had it for years. In other words, find what weighs your eye down.
There may be several things, but chances are, it's not the furniture.
You love that picture, but it's been hanging there so long it's become part of
the wall. Relocate the picture to another room where it once again becomes a
surprise to your eyes.
If your bedspread is the offender, it's time to pack it away for guest bedding
and buy a new one. Now imagine. What color or fabric would please you in it's
place? “Aha!” you say. “I want a deep blue velvet bedspread, and now that I
think of it, some ivory lace curtains would be luxurious.”
You're getting the gist of these types of bedroom decorating ideas now. Restrain
yourself, as it's easy to get carried away. These bedroom decorating ideas
succeed when you aim for simplicity. Maybe a simple coat of paint or stained
wooden louvers replacing curtains are all you need. Your beige lampshades might
be changed for hand painted art deco ones for an entirely different look in the
room in which you love to relax.
For less than $100 plus a vase of fresh flowers, you can have a new dream
bedroom.
