Bedroom Design and Decor - Tips and Ideas (Part 3)

Bedroom Design and Decor - Tips and Ideas (Part 3) - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. Talking bedrooms today. This bedroom has a very classic feel. A very rich elegant classic feel, a little bit more traditional. What sets it apart from just a boring traditional look is the texture. Texture, texture,texture. As the color diva, I am all about color and texture. It is very hard to separate those two. They really play off each other and they make it much more interesting and texture helps change the way a color feels to your mind's eye. In this case, we have tones of gray all over the bed. We have the gray tones on the pillows and the upholstered headboard and a blue tone on the bed itself. Playing with color. Same texture as the back pillows, but different color. We play with texture by adding a leather pillow. A little bit unexpected on a bed, but is not unexpected what you are going for? Does not that add spice to life? That is what I go for. I want someone to walk in and be surprised. I want around every corner to be something that engages you in a way that you did not expect, like the sofa at the bottom of the bed. Put a loveseat or a sofa instead of a bench. Really inviting, really comfortable, and if you have the room, there is nothing that looks better or more interesting than a sofa at the bottom of your bed. Another great example of mixing things up and making it unexpected, two different night tables. One is a chest of drawers, one of them is a round table that you usually expect to see in a living room. It really adds something special in a bedroom, but to keep it balanced, we did keep the lamps the same so that at a glance, everything seems balanced. Because I love the unexpected, we also paired this aubergine-colored chair in with the gray tones, the cool tones of the bed. There is no other aubergine or purple in the room, but that little pop of color really adds some interest. It looks like you found it the way it was and you put it together. That is what great design should be. It should not be studied, it should look like you just threw it together and it really looked great.
