Nº191/Great Bedroom Decor

The bedroom is where you spend a great deal of time every day, though much of it is spent asleep. This, of course, means it needs to be a place of relaxation and, for many people, romance.

It's all too easy to let the clutter of everyday life invade your bedroom, but that impairs your ability to relax in the one room in the house that should be designed for that purpose. It's time to decorate your bedroom for its true purpose.

Start by thinking about your personal style. What would you like to have in your bedroom? What would make it relaxing, romantic, or both? If you're married, what would appeal to your spouse?

Let's start with the bed. As the largest and most-used piece of furniture in most rooms, it is a focal point. Do you like the bedding? What about the bed frame itself?

Sometimes you will quickly realize that it is time to replace all your bedroom furniture when you decide to redecorate your bedroom. Maybe the old furniture just isn't your style anymore. With today's online shopping, finding new furniture doesn't have to mean running all around town. You can shop from the comfort of your own home and often get better prices.

Back to the bed. What would you like it to look like? Huge, four-poster beds are quite popular right now, but would it look right in your home? If your room is big enough, it might look perfect. In a smaller room, it will just make it look crowded.

Once you have chosen your bed, pick the rest of your furniture to match without overcrowding your bedroom. Dressers need to have adequate space for the clothing you will store in them. Most bedroom sets have plenty of matching pieces to choose from, so you can find a style you like and still have a choice of a couple of different sizes for your dresser.

Now it's time to pick the accents. Your bedding is one kind of accent for your room. What colors do you like? Do you love throw pillows, or are they a nuisance? Of course, soft sheets and good pillows are a must, both for relaxation and romance.

Lighting matters too. You don't need to light your bedroom as brightly as the rest of the house all the time... in fact, there are many times when dimmer lighting is perfect for the mood in the bedroom. Consider installing a dimmer switch on the main light or having dimmer lights as part of your decor.

Another option for mood lighting is candles. They can add a lovely touch to the decor, and when it's time for romance, they're just about classic. Scented candles can add a lot, too.

One item I strongly recommend leaving out of the bedroom, which has found its way into too many, is the television. Putting a television in your bedroom limits your ability to relax and takes away from romance. Yes, you can enjoy relaxing in front of the television in the evening, but why not do that in the living room and leave the bedroom for other forms of relaxation?
