6 Ways to Get the Perfect Bedroom of
Your Dreams Via Bed Linens and more
If you have always wanted a dream
bedroom but have never actually got as far as beginning the décor process, you
may want to think again. While it is tempting to think of just spending lots of
money on an all matching suite and having the walls and doors painted
professionally, this is not necessary! It is absolutely possible to create your
perfect bedroom simply and relatively cheaply!
Theme
Many interior designers will not work
a room without some sort of theme in mind and you should not be any different.
A theme can be an idea, 'white, with floating fabrics and lots of light,' or it
can be a colour scheme, such as red, white and black or it can be an actual
theme, such as the seaside, with bedding, curtains and carpet in shades of
blue, beige and white with seashells incorporated into the décor. Decide what
sort of a theme you want in your bedroom and make sure that it is one that you
can live with for several years before you begin!
The bed is the automatic focal point
for any room, and you can add a touch of dreamy distinction by choosing a bed
that is a little different. There are many floating or suspended beds on the
market that seem to levitate weightlessly in the room. These are wonderful for
adding a touch of romance to any bedroom. They also give the impression of
taking up absolutely floor space, which is a boon for a small or cramped room.
Old School Bedroom
Add some old fashioned touches to
your bedroom to create an air of gothic romance. Thick heavy curtains keep out
inclement weather and too much early morning sunshine, while light fittings
that look like old sconces add a romantic frisson. You can even invest in a
four-poster bed to create a cosy and private haven for yourself. For thick
variety of curtains, my most preferable spot which provides good variety of
ready made curtains is Yorkshire Linen.com

Signature Piece
There are few rooms that cannot be
enhanced by the addition of a signature piece and a bedroom is no different.
Your signature piece can be the bed itself, a unique round chair or even, if
space is an issue, a dramatic picture or wall hanging. For nice wall hangings I
never get disappointed with Seeing
the Big picture

Your bedding goes a long way towards
creating the look and feel of your bedroom. With the full range of the modern
textile industry you have a wonderful choice in the matter of fabrics, patterns
and styles when it comes to choosing your bedding. To create a sumptuous
boudoir purchase bedding in a luxurious fabric, add an immense pile of cushions
and soft throws and enjoy the hedonistic look that is so easily achieved!

From Yorkshire Linen Co.
Even if you are not particularly outdoorsy, your room will benefit from having a touch of nature added to the décor mix. Pot plants add a splash of discreet and natural colour that is hard to achieve artificially. A vase of long stem roses always seem rich, expensive and romantic, especially when placed artfully in a bedroom, either on the dressing table or on a bedside cabinet.
From Founterior
Study your room and compare it to
your mental image of an ideal dream bedroom. Then, bring the two as close
together as you can, as you work towards transforming the former into the
latter! You are sure to be pleased with the end result; even if it is not
precisely the room you imagined it will be very close!
wow! aren't those wonderful ideas? don't know about you but i'd sure like to climb into the bed of that last room and snooze away!
