Stunning Furniture to Make Your Room Shine
Sleeping comprises about one third of the average persons life, reports say. 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. Though “four poster” these days brings to mind images of rock bands, it also refers to the classic bed style. 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’.
Asian designs became popular around the turn of the 20th century and continued on to the present. The hallmarks of the style — efficiency and minimalism — are the epitome of modern elegance. They also make possible a range of colors that few other choices can encompass. Bright reds, sea greens and the colors of the sun and sky are all part of the Asian palette. Today we see Asian inspired designs like the noguchi table in the modern realm as well.
An armoire of slick black lacquer, inlaid with mother of pearl is one possibility. 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. A set of satin goose-down pillows in Mandarin red is sure to be both comfortable and visually stunning. 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.
It harkens back to an older style such as that of the Shakers, suggesting simplicity and peaceful living. That’s always appreciated in these hectic modern times. But it also is an echo of the high-tech look that dominates computers, stereo designs and much more today. That integrates the bedroom style perfectly with other parts of the house while it provides a place of rest and quiet. What more could you ask for, to have the best of both design 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. Considering that you spend about one third of your life in your bedroom, it makes sense to invest in beautiful furniture and accents.
