When styling your bedroom, tackle your room from the outside in. Because it is your own personal private space, it can be one of the trickiest rooms to decorate. The question is, have you found what you're looking for on Pinterest or your home improvement shows? Keep in mind, staged photos and fancy shows often have access to an outside styling budget. However, you can still tackle your design dreams by starting from the outer walls working into the all-important bed.
The Walls
When you admire art, is it from the Renaissance or Cubism eras? Are you more likely to find it in a modern art museum or a museum showcasing historic pieces? Framed art can fill empty looking spaces while three-dimensional art can liven up many designs.
The Windows
Windows are a functional design feature of bedrooms. Go big in your quest to control the amount of light entering the room. Choose curtains or drapes that hang from ceiling to floor. Don't forget to enjoy the fresh air when weather allows.
The Closets
Keep a closet on track with these organizational hacks. Use the same style hangers throughout the closet to avoid tangles. Put things in their place and take a moment to pick up fallen items to keep the closet neat.
The Dresser and Bedside Tables
Show off who you are with your choice in dressers and bedside tables. Choose a dresser with a mirror to help with everyday prep time. Dressers and bedside tables should coordinate in some way to bring the room together. Table or floor lamps are great for lighting specific areas.
The Pièce de Résistance of the Room: The Bed
Now we get to the most irresistible piece in your bedroom, your bed. It is the first thing the eye sees upon entering the room. Pillows are a must. Go with a minimum of two bed pillows. Add throw pillows and a signature decorative pillow to complete your look. Whatever look you choose, make sure it is one you can't wait to crawl into at night.
