The bedroom has gone full circle in history. Back in the day, Kings held court in their bedroom while surrounded by a multitude of pillows. All which could be viewed as the life of luxury or laziness.

American cottages consisted of one big room. This room held every activity thinkable: eating, sleeping, recreation, bathing, and sewing. As families grew and architects became more educated, homes were built that separated one large room into a bedroom.

Today, bedrooms are a place to meditate, write letters, exercise, watch television, and sleep. A true statement of YOU.

So...what about the décor?

Your bed is an essential piece of furniture. But that doesn't mean that it has to look like any ordinary bed. Your room needs to make a statement about your personality and that begins with the bed you select. What type of bed are you?

Most bedrooms contain a mattress and foundation, nightstands, dresser, perhaps a chair and of course, a television. You should select each piece with care, as they will be with you for quite awhile. Be certain to select top quality. Furniture made out of maple or oak stand strong and makes a statement of "comfort".

vThe main focus of your room is your bedroom set. The style you select, contemporary, modern, or antique, will set the stage for your room décor. For instance, you wouldn't mix country with modern furniture or bright colors with earth tones. Unless, you're a very unique individual.

Contemporary and Modern

A contemporary or modern bedroom set makes a statement of "Today". On the fast track, up by the alarm, off to work or school, and never really resting until dusk. The beautiful pieces of furniture, some crafted from wood while others made from compressed board, is a style that changes by the decade.
Country and Antique.

A country or antique bedroom set makes a statement of "Home". Associated with warmness and living in a day when things were simple, this style of furniture tells visitors you're warm hearted and laid back.

Décor Tip

Your drapes and bedding are two accessories you can easily change. Never change your comforter, duvet cover or quilt without considering refreshing the drapes or blinds. Stay with a rather neutral color. a

Wallpaper provides you with a multitude of styles and designs. But painting your walls is easier. Using a few techniques like rolling or sponging the paint, you can make paint appear as brilliant and textured as wallpaper. Plus, it's easier to paint over paint than peel off wallpaper. A soft tone of paint compliments bright bedding.

Lighting sets the mood. Not enough light will make one sleepy and almost depressed. The rooms' atmosphere is set by the lighting. Lights under the bed or dimmers on wall sconces make the room glow in an inviting way. Mood lighting is especially effective when it is visible from a sitting area off the bedroom.
