Put A Contemporary Style In Your Bedroom

By Emely Gardner

The very fact that you are interested in redecorating your bedroom the contemporary way is that you have either seen it in a book and liked it or may be on the net or in an outlet. The first thing, before redecorating and buying any furniture, is to understand the contemporary theme.

The most commonly recognized feature is the colors and lines. The most popular colors are the light beige and white with contrasting black. Dark furniture is another feature. Lines and shapes are all kept simple and straight, nothing fancy. The overall look of the room should be a clean look. Walls that are not cluttered up are part of the look as well as open spaces.

You don't want anything cluttered. Organization is the way to go with this look so go through everything and discard what you don't need or use. The bedrooms seem to always catch the overspill from other rooms. Walls should be white in color beige, or a pastel green. Neutral colors help to accessorize and not take over. The windows shouldn't have little to no coverings. Make sure that if you do use curtains the rods are simple too.

The beds are low to the ground and feature a lot of room. The bed covers should be tucked in tightly and have no fringes or frills. Place an area rug at the foot of the bed in different colors or patterns.

When you are looking at furniture you will want to find contrasting design with dark colors. These colors and patterns should be small in size. Make sure you have a small closet to store your extra clothes with a chest of drawers to place clothing in as well.

You need a mirror that is stylish and well designed. You want a dressing table that will highlight the look of the room. If you are purchasing new furniture keep it simple in design; straight lines, no curves or fancy designs. Handles and knobs are plain. If you want to accent the decor add some plants to your room like tall palm trees placed in every corner of the room. You can also use artificial plants in the room.

Finalizing the look, you will need to find abstract painting in black frames. Just a few of these are needed so you don't clutter your room. Add accessories such as a clear jar with colored stones on the table or a bowl of potpourri. At the end of the day you will have a contemporary look and feel that will relax you as soon as you walk into the room.
