Maximize Your Room Potential with Gorgeous Furniture
It’s often reported that the average person spends about one third of his or her life sleeping. But consider everything else done in the bedroom; that’s a lot of time! Style and comfort, then, should be a top priority. The modern materials and design options of today — along with a bit of good marketing — guarantees the delivery of the style of your choice.
There’s the classical American Colonial look, the opposite of the current modern furniture style. Descended from the days when a four poster was a bed, not a set of large photos of rock bands on the walls, it is still a great choice. Stunning headboards are carved from exquisite oak or maple. A cloth canopy with draperies is often added.
It is surprising that the post-Revolutionary style of ordinary merchants now is the style of the elegant and well-heeled bedroom of today. But whether it’s a chest containing a down comforter or a chest of drawers that matches the rest, this style says ’solid American values’.
Early in the last century, Asian design gained in popularity and continues on today. For good reason: they incorporate ancient elegance with modern esthetic ideas of efficiency and minimalism. They also make possible a range of colors that few other choices can encompass. The Asian color palette has gorgeous hues such as beautiful reds, vibrant greens, and the colors of the sun and sky. Modern design even incorporates aspects of Asian design, as in the noguchi table.
An armoire of slick black lacquer, inlaid with mother of pearl is one possibility. But even a simple jade or ceramic bowl on the dresser used to hold jewelry and coins can add a touch of Asia to the bedroom. The result is both cool and hot, both sexy and stylish. By integrating the concept of yin and yang, Asian bedding and furniture brings both an exotic flair and cultural elegance associated with Asian culture. What could be more comfortable than a set of pillows in Mandarin red stuffed with goose down? Try spreading a stylish and functional area rugs with an Asian flair across the hardwood floor. That’s the Asian way.
In the 1950s Scandinavian, Swedish in particular, became all the rage. The popularity of the design hasn’t waned in the intervening years. And who would question why? Swedish design features clean lines and gorgeous yet simple elegance.
The hallmarks of Shaker style are reflected in this design, it’s main features simplicity and peace. In this tumultuous era of living, this style is appreciated and valued. Additionally, it reflects the simple lines and somewhat “futuristic” design of modern high tech. With this setup, you can integrate easily with other styles in the house, while maintaining a place of refuge from the world. What more could you ask for, to have the best of both design worlds?
No matter the style you choose, it is easier and easier to find gorgeous furniture and accents to set off your design. Considering that you spend about one third of your life in your bedroom, it makes sense to invest in beautiful furniture and accents.
