Bedroom Design
Tips For A Romantic
Getaway
Everyone loves to get away to a fancy hotel
or luxurious resort. And unless you are very wealthy,
most of us can’t afford these getaways too often. But
with some simple bedroom design tips, your bedroom
can be a romantic getaway every day.
Bedroom Design
Tips: Colors
Picture your
ideal bedroom retreat. What color is it? A fresh coat of
paint is sometimes the only interior design your bedroom
needs to make a complete change. Calming blues and greens,
combined with neutral accents can make your bedroom look
more like a spa than the upstairs of your
house.
Choose linens that accent the color you have
chosen, and continue the relaxing and romantic feel of
the room. It’s tempting to buy the cheapest sheets and
pillows available, but buying high quality linens will go
a long way to creating the room you really want.
Beautiful pillows and accents also help.
Another bedroom interior design trick is to
recreate the colors and mood of a special vacation or
location. Perhaps the crisp colors of the resort where
you spent your honey-moon, or the deep browns from a
cabin in the woods, the color of your room can transport
you to a different place without ever leaving your
house.
Match your window coverings with your
interior design. Curtains give a romantic feel
about the room, while shutters or timber blinds may
remind you of a beach resort.
Containing The Clutter
It’s hard to feel restful and romantic in a
bedroom that is full of clutter. And thankfully, for
those of us that are not very organized, interior
designers have designed bedroom storage and furniture to
help contain the clutter while still maintaining the mood
of the room. This can be as simple as buying several
pretty laundry hampers with lids to contain dirty clothes
(and get them off of the floor).
And if you have enough space a wooden chest
for the end of the bed is a great way to store extra
blankets, quilts and pillows. If you have the space in
your bedroom for a chair or sitting area, keep it tidy
with a basket for your books and magazines, and store the
rest of your collection in a bookcase in another room.
Don’t use the chair as an additional clothes storage area
– put your clothes in the hampers or away in your
closets. And definitely keep the kids’ toys somewhere
else!
Accents For Your
Bedroom
Your bedroom interior design can be easily
completed with a few accents. A couple of pretty lamps
will give you the right amount of light, and can be found
in nearly any style to match the rest of your furniture.
Hang a few paintings or pictures that remind you of your
favorite places or the getaway that you are trying to
recreate. A simple frame with black and white pictures of
your most recent vacation can be a cheap and beautiful
way to decorate your bedroom.
A Few More Bedroom Design
Tips
Look at brochures and Interior
Design Magazines – Cut out the pictures you like and make
a little swipe file.
Set aside a budget and decide
how you can get the desired results for the minimum amount
of money.
Go window shopping first (can be
done on the internet as well) and find out which colors
are in fashion that season. Decide if the bedroom fashion
that season fits in with the choice of colors for your
bedroom.
If yes, you may want to wait
till the end of the season when the sales are on.
Good luck with the bedroom design tips for
your 'romantic getaway'.
