How to make it inviting?

Picture of a bed and bedroom for decoration ideas While not many visitors to our homes get to see our bedroom, it is probably the most important place in the house since we sleep there and make love - who can deny the importance of both? Many people forget this and use their bedroom as a place to store dirty laundry or pass out after a long day. Here are some tips from Davis Remignanti, lead Design Consultant at Furniture on how to make this room a place to spend time in.

First Things First: Identify any major room features that you can’t (or don’t want to) change - the color of woodwork, the brick in the hearth, then decorate with and around them.

Work Your Way Up: If starting with an empty room, select a rug or floor covering first. You’re more likely to match walls and furniture to the rug than vice versa. The colors in your rug will provide good choices for wall and accent colors.

Create Your Color Palette: Good room design should incorporate a palette of at least five colors: two main colors, one supporting color and two accent colors.

Create a Flow: For rooms connected by an open archway or large doorway, choose harmonious color palettes. You’ll create a color link between the two spaces and avoid a jarring transition from one room to the next.
Use Patterns Sparingly: For beginners, it’s better to use only a single pattern per room. If the rug carries a pattern, avoid “competition” by keeping window treatments, upholstery, and accents simple.

Don’t Over-Indulge: Too much of the same color in a room can be a mistake. Even if it’s your favorite color, maintain a good balance of main colors and accent colors around your room.

Light It Up: Generate an elegant room-wide glow by using gold or peach hued light bulbs in table lamps. Bright enough for daily tasks, they can add a beautiful warm tone to a room.

Embrace Change: Be brave with your accent colors, because they can be changed easily. Candles can be burned, picture frames re-painted, pillows recovered. Go with your instincts, but don’t be discouraged if you’re not happy with your choice – it’s all part of the process of getting comfortable with color.
