Know Everything About How To Decorate A Contemporary Style Bedroom
For some, the
sleek clean lines associated with the contemporary style are perfect
for the bedroom but many homeowners are at a loss as to how to
achieve this style of decor.
No matter how
bad your decorating skills are, you can decorate your bedroom with a
contemporary flair by making a few alterations such as painting and
coordinating your bedding
and pillows to enhance your room with a modern design.
In order to
have a sleek contemporary look, you don't necessarily need
coordinating bed, bureaus, and tables but the bedroom should have
lots of stylish modern
furniture with simple, clean lines. Try to find furnishing with
chrome or metal details. A dark stain or light stain wood will work
as will black lacquer style furniture.
A contemporary
theme is light on accessories, but the few pieces you do have are key
to the success of the design. Be sure to include a few simple pieces
that are simple in line and form. A simple square vase with 1 flower
or a metal sculpture, perhaps. Additional items such as vintage art
deco accessories can really add interest to the room.
Lighting is
key in most rooms and the bedroom is no exception. To go with your
contemporary design style, you should consider light
fixtures in terms of style as well as type. The majority of
bedrooms can benefit from a chandelier in conjunction with lamps.
While you are incorporating a contemporary look, think about a chrome
ceiling fixture with recessed lighting and stay away from
anything which is scrolly or fancy.
A key element
when decorating your bedroom
with a contemporary style is what you put on the walls. For this
style the colors are important - you should think about adding browns
and black and white in the room. Try using a neutral color paint on
the walls, or try leather wall covering. You don't have to get too
fancy or spend a lot of money and if you want plain colored walls,
simply paint the walls a neutral color and let the accents in the
room do the decorating.
One vital area
that is many times ignored when redecorating your room is the wall
space. Even the plainest walls can be made to look good with great
wall decor. Try applying simple, plain artwork, black and white
photos in simple frames, tribal masks or abstract
art to your bedroom walls to really bring out the modern feel of
your contemporary look.
Getting a
perfect contemporary look in your bedroom can be as basic as changing
out a few accessories or as involved as doing a total room remake.
Either way, paying attention to detail and being sure to match your decorative
accessories and contemporary
furniture will help you coordinate a great new contemporary look
that you'll have fun showing off to your friends! |
