Bedroom Decorating Ideas? Try A Gingham Comforter
|
Let's start with a little assurance. You aren't alone when it comes to the redecorating bug! In fact it really is human nature to change ones living quarters and the bedroom is one of the most frequently redone room. Out of the blue we awake and decide that the wonderful cozy atmosphere we had created was suddenly uninviting and just plain boring. All of sudden we don't like the colors, we don't like the overall impression of the room, and we don't like the statement it makes. Trouble is your bank account can quickly dictate what you can or cannot do to re-invent your bedroom. But not too worry, your makeover project really doesn't have to be costly!! Start simple and then build your theme from there. So for example, why not start with a beautiful gingham comforter. Now pick one of the color from the palette and go buy some paint. In fact choose either two colors that compliment each other or two shades of the same color. You'll be amazed at what a fresh coat of paint will do for your room. Now it's time to replace some lamp shades. Choose a shade that compliments or matches one of the colors in the gingham. Matching but either a darker or lighter shade always works well. Next it's time to consider what to do with your drapes. One option is matching gingham drapes. A second option if you already have plenty of color in your room is to choose a neutral such as a bone or an ivory. Third option is to choose a color that compliments your room's colors. In fact if you have a large window that you would like to use as a focal point choose bold colors that draw attention to it. Your pillow shams are a great way to add a little more color to the bed. Pick one of your colors and then choose the darkest shade available. Shams are very decorative and adding four pillows with shams to your bed will add the finishing touches to your bed. In fact if you really want to make your bed friendly and inviting add a dozen pillows and when it's bed time you just remove them. They give a bed a great look. One of the biggest challenges is coordinating your room is to pull all the colors together without the room taking on a look of being too busy. Too much color and your room will go from relaxing to wired and that's not what you want. Your bedroom needs to be a peaceful place so keep that in mind when redecorating. For just a couple of hundred dollars you can give your bedroom a fabulous makeover and all it takes to start the project is a gingham comforter. So what are you waiting for?
