Bedroom Furniture Options to Make Your Space Stunning
Sleeping comprises about one third of the average persons life, reports say. But add in other activities and we actually spend much more than that in the bedroom. 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. Though “four poster” these days brings to mind images of rock bands, it also refers to the classic bed style. Headboards are elegantly carved from woods such as oak or maple and look spectacular. To complete the American Colonial look, add a cloth canopy and draperies.
Ironically, this style appears as the epitome of the upscale, well-to-do bedroom, yet the designs actually go back to the ordinary merchant of post-Revolutionary days. 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. The hallmarks of the style — efficiency and minimalism — are the epitome of modern elegance. Additionally, designers can incorporate a wider color palette. 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.
A classic piece is the black lacquered armoire, with mother of pearl accent. Even the smallest accessories, such as a jade or ceramic bowl, will add an Asian touch to the room’s design. 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? An area rugs in matching design to keep the feet off that cold hardwood floor is both stylish and practical. That’s the way of Asian design.
Swedish and Scandinavian design gained popularity in the 1950s. That choice remains equally popular today. It’s not hard to see 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. That’s always appreciated in these hectic modern times. 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. The best of all possible worlds!
Whatever style suits your taste, and it could even be an eclectic mixture of many, you’ll find modern bedding and bedroom furniture or accent designs available to match. Spending over a third of your life in the bedroom makes spending a little money to make it match you a great investment.
