You'll find interesting information here about how to incorporate all of the elements of décor into your decorating project and use them to the best advantage for your space. The décor refers to different kids of patterns of design like formal décor, contemporary décor, traditional décor and modern décor.
Formal Home Décor
When formal décor comes in mind, we automatically refer to period homes or fine hotels. . The formal décor is also a space that is livable and comfortable. Some additional guidelines to follow include:
* Tall windows, heavy window treatments, fire places and large mirrors are specifically used in this kind of décor.
* To create a formal setting, you need to keep both lines and symmetry in mind.
* The furniture would be arranged in a straight line inside the room and in most cases, furniture and accessories would be arranged in pairs.
* Cloth are generally used on the walls.
* The surfaces of furniture, floors, mirrors, and light fixtures would be polished to a bright shine with high gloss.
* The fabrics used for bedspreads, pillows, couches, and window treatments are very luxurious and rich.
* The use of rugs, oil paintings and crystal chandeliers are typical characteristics.
Contemporary Home décor
Contemporary decor is a style that can be described as simpleast of all ecors, it conveys a sense of simplicity. It is generally categorized by neutral and earthy colours.
* This kind of décor uses distinctive outline, linear patterns, geometric shapes and black as the primary colour.
* There are striking colour patters like used of red with orange and this lies in this décor scheme.
* The furniture has the clean and fast lines and made up of smooth fabric or leather.
* Metal lights are generally the characteristics of this kind of décor.
The themes
* For a newlywed couple the furniture should be in soft and pastel shades radiating the warmth of love.
* For children the furniture should reflect a naughty streak on the outside and feature durability on the inside. The beds for children also include bunk beds.
* The youngsters need space for the storage of books as well as CDs; thus, their furniture should be made accordingly. You can also choose different bed sets, bed frames and more.
* Some people don't want too much of mix 'n' match; they would like to have furniture that is uniform. For such people it is a feasible idea to have Bedroom Furniture sets that would feature beds, dressers, nightstands, and chests done in a similar style.
* For those of you who want your rooms to look like a straight leaf from a coffee table book, get antique furniture for your room.
* The Bedroom Furniture includes furniture that is meant to help in the storage of items as well. Thus, for this there are chests, armoires and racks meant for keeping blankets or quilts.
* You can also go for contemporary furniture that is high on style. The contemporary furniture is sleek, as it has been designed to take less space.
Where to start
* With a tape measure, measure the room. Draw the bedroom to scale on graph paper.
* Every room needs a focal point and that the focal point in a bedroom is nearly always the bed. Give it center stage.
* When choosing furniture, decide what tasks need to be accomplished in this private room. You need a TV, a study table, a library, closet or anything else of your choice.
* Select the pieces that are musts such as desks, dressing tables, and storage pieces, first. Make sure that there is space for the furniture that will be primarily used. Getting fun pieces to state one's personality can come later.
* Think outside the box, and begin to design a bedroom that invites one into a cozy and personal space, as opposed to a replica of the new furniture sales showroom floor!
* There is no reason to buy all of the pieces of any matching set. Simply purchase what appeals, and coordinate with other pieces using fun paints or fabrics, bringing the decor into harmony.
* There are many places to find bed room furniture and unique pieces, and finding just the right nightstand, or bed frames, or dressing table, or ottoman, can be part of the fun in designing a room to match the desired mood!
* Today's bedrooms need to be functional while providing an atmosphere of relaxation. The idea is anything goes, as long as there is balance and harmony between the color of the bed room furniture pieces placed over there.
