Bedroom Colors
Creating a bedroom getaway oasis starts with a
foundation of color. A fresh coat of paint is
sometimes the only change your bedroom needs. For
example, calming blues and greens, combined with
neutral accents can make your bedroom look like a
spa oasis. Another design technique is to recreate
the colors and style of a special vacation spot.
Take a moment to recall a place where you felt
calm, happy and relaxed. Remember the ambiance of
your favorite resort where you spent your
honeymoon? Perhaps you enjoyed a trip to a rustic
cabin with rough-hewn timbers. Take a moment to
remember the colors of the mountains and pine
trees. The color of your room can transport you to
a different place without ever leaving your house.
Containing the Clutter
Another easy way to make your bedroom feel restful
is to clear away clutter. Luckily, interior
designers have created bedroom storage containers
and furniture to help contain clutter, while still
maintaining the mood of the room. This can be as
simple as buying several attractive laundry
hampers with lids to contain clothes or a
decorative wooden chest set at the end of the bed
in which to keep extra blankets and pillows. If
you have a chair in your bedroom, refrain from
using it for clothing storage. Instead, keep the
area tidy by placing a basket nearby to store your
books and magazines. Store the rest of your
collection in a bookcase in another room.

Accents For Your Bedroom
Complete your bedroom’s interior design with
simple accents. It’s easy to change the ambiance
of your room at any time of the year with just a
change in the size, shape, texture and color of
pillows. Many interior designers suggest using
neutral bedspreads and adding a “pop” of color and
texture with pillows or duvets.
Another elegant way to add your signature to your
bedroom is with the use of light. It’s easy to
accentuate your bedroom with attractive lamps or
chandeliers. For example, a pair of lamps will add
light, style and charm to your ensemble. Personal
accents such as artwork or favorite photographs
from vacations can also be an inexpensive and
beautiful way to complement any décor.
You can create the perfect bedroom oasis with a
few simple touches. Start with a vacation memory,
a favorite color or theme, and in no time at all,
you’ll have the perfect vacation getaway for any
season right at home.
