Bedroom
Your bedroom is a private, personal retreat
where you can shut the door on the world and be yourself. When
planning color schemes for this space, aim to create a warm, mood-enhancing
look that whispers relax, take it easy, wind down.
Because our bedrooms are out of the public eye, we tend to use
them as a dumping ground for all the stuff we don’t know where
to put. I am as guilty of this as you! File your excess in some
labeled cardboard boxes, and shove them under the bed or in the
closet…and try to resolve not to use your comfort zone as the
local dump!
No matter how much work and creativity you
put into wonderful projects for your room, no one will notice
(including you) if it’s visually buried in clutter. This room
needs to have a mood created, and there is no better, faster,
or more inexpensive way to do that than to paint it! Consider
that cool colors such as blues and greens tend to be soothing
and calming, while warmer colors such as yellow and reds are invigorating.
You can pick a theme for this room. if your theme is as simple
as a color scheme, It gives you a blueprint to work with, and
keeps you from adding too many items that don’t relate to each
other that will cause a busy, and non restful look.
Whether its cool shapes for a teen, or flowing
romantic fabric for a master bedroom, pick an inexpensive idea
to do all out to add individuality to your room. Tape off geometric
shapes all around a teens room in varying shapes, and paint in
a contrasting color. Whatever you choose to be your spark, do
it all around the room. Inexpensive materials used lavishly is
a designer’s best trick! Frame your children’s artwork with dollar
shop frames, and fill an entire wall with it. Hang your wedding
veil or your child’s christening gown on the wall, keep books
you love stacked on your end table. Even hang plates from your
Grandmothers china, there are no rules when it comes to creating
your personal space!
In a kids room, display their art projects,
let them keep those bottle collections, let them make the space
their own, it breeds creativity in your child. Cover sturdy cardboard
boxes with contact paper, glue them together to create a “tower”
and let them display the things that are important to them, be
it rocks from the playground or the perfume bottles they have
been collecting. Drape your Grandmothers scarf over your lampshade
and tie with a ribbon, or hand paint inspirational sayings on
the walls or furniture with a gold paint pen.
