Bedroom Decorating Ideas - Television Decorating Shows
Hi gang, Rick with Bedroom Decorating ideas. Television decorating shows have proven it is possible to have a bedroom that looks designer without the expense of one. Give some thought to your bedroom interior design and great things can be achieved with a limited amount money.
A bedding set should be the first decision on your list. The bedding is likely to be the most dominant element in your room, making it a good place to start planning your design. Choose a bedding in order to match it with the colors or the desired theme of your room.
The closeout bin and discounted items are a great way to create a look for your bed instead of buying sets of expensive items. Go out looking for things that will go with the bedding being sure to bring along some color swatches for an exact match. Go to a home goods or home decorating store and purchase a lot of pillows with different shapes and patterns with your key colors and give your bed a designer look by placing them at the head of your bed.
Another one of the important bedroom interior design tips is careful furniture shopping which can mitigate the high costs associated with this key element to your room design. In this case, being patient often works to your advantage - you could purchase a brand-new set of furniture today at a manufacturer’s outlet, but you could save half or even more of the cost if you scout out great bargains at yard sales and area consignment stores. New knobs and fresh paint job on the old set will accomplish a new look for the overall piece.
If you are looking for a way to spice up your sleeping quarters without spending a great amount of money, try a fresh coat of paint. Why not use bright colors if they enhance the theme you have in mind? Use one of the many different faux finishes or paint effects available from your local paint store for an exclusive look in your home.
For a unique bedroom the accessories are important and shopping for them is fun and money saving at flea markets, private sales and consignment stores. But don’t buy the first great value that you see - a piece of furniture that doesn’t quite fit the vision of your room is no bargain, no matter how inexpensive it was. In order to achieve a perfect look of your room, you must plan what things are needed to for it before you go shopping. Consulting your list will ensure that you only get what you actually need when you go shopping!
If you can picture the bedroom of your choice and know where to shop than bedroom interior design is not as hard and costly as you think. Good sales are a sure way to save money. Your patience in waiting for just the right furniture and accessories will pay off with a designer look for less. Thanks to decorate123.com for this.

Bedroom Decorating Ideas - Cushions for Comfort
Hi gang, Rick here from Bedroom Decorating Ideas. Pretty cushions in extravagant fabrics will add luxurious finish and heightens the comfort quotient of your living environs. Throw pillows on a sofa or extra pillows on a bed also invite you to relax - just a little longer.
Cushions can be suited in colours to match every season of the year or every change of decorating mood that you might live. They can also be made for every room in the home - and living spaces where there are no rooms at all.
Outdoors
Outdoor cushions are made to withstand sun and weather. They can be made of UV-resistant outdoor fabric tough enough to withstand the elements yet remain soft to the touch with quick-dry fill. Outdoor cushions are often treated to resist fading, mould and mildew and clean up easily with a mild detergent and warm water.
Wherever they are used in the home, cushions should be designed for comfort and body support.
Throw cushions can also serve as fillers to an otherwise completely furnished room, adding depth and dimension.
Seating
Cushions can be used in low seating areas as well as on sofas. Make sure the ones on the floor are larger than those thrown on the sofa.
In the bedroom cushions on a made-up bed look pretty and elegant. Make sure the colours you choose for your cushions highlight the decor elements which you want to emphasise.
Colours chosen should either contrast or complement the rest of the decor on your room; in a pleasant way.
The experts advise that you should upgrade your rugs when you change your cushions. The two changes together will make a world of difference in your rooms.

Bedroom Decorating Ideas - Candleholders add Style
Hi gang, Rick here at Bedroom decorating Ideas with an article on how Candleholders add style and grace to your home. Among the most powerful mood enhancers in a room is the glow of candlelight. It beckons guests to its warmth, mesmerizes with its flickering and lends mystery. It casts a romantic spell on an interior.
Candleholders can be ordinary or as captivating as the dancing lights. From simple candlesticks to elaborate candelabras, table centerpieces and even wall-mounted containers, candleholders are decorative accessories that hold their own even when the votives, tapers or pillars they cradle are not lighted.
Candleholders long have been collectibles and span a rich history of design styles. Tall hand-carved, painted or gilded wood candlesticks from Italy and delicate enameled 18th-century French holders are sold at auctions and in antique shops for hundreds to thousands of dollars apiece.
Today they are available in a variety of shapes, sizes and styles — from luxurious to rustic, from exotic to whimsical. The variety is considerable, ranging from low-slung holders for tea lights to sculptural candleholders as tall as a couple of feet. Sconces create still other dynamics.
Depending on the style, candleholders can be grouped in odd numbers of similar glass, crystal, brass, bronze, pewter, iron, stainless steel, ceramic or wood candlesticks of varying heights. More than one type can be used in a room on tabletops, sideboards and mantels. Some candleholders are designed expressly for use in the fireplace.
Decorating with candleholders, as with other well-chosen accessories, can add personality and a note of grace, strength or elegance as an accent or focal point.
Among the most versatile designs is the hurricane, a tall glass cylinder that surrounds the candle within. From clean to traditional styles, some with curves, the simplicity transcends decor. Footed hurricanes are especially eye-catching. Metal bases can be coordinated with other metal accents in a room.
Glass and crystal candleholders add a jewel-like sparkle to a space as they interact with warm candlelight. Mosaic candleholders layer iridescent color as candlelight glows through tiny cut-glass pieces in a captivating way. Another kind of light play comes from holders with eyelet designs, such as pierced tin chandeliers. Light shines through the openings, creating intriguing patterns. Candleholders with mirrored bases, as well as those made of mercury glass, also lend reflective qualities.
Wood candleholders are perennial favorites. Dark woods have increased in popularity, as they have in furniture design, and their placement has a grounding impact similar to that of black. A contemporary option is a long, narrow container or tray with recessed spaces for a row of round tea lights. It makes a simple architectural statement as a centerpiece on a dining table or on a cocktail table. Wood pillar holders can be grouped for visual strength, a nexus on the cocktail table.
Candleholders also can be used as wall decorations. Hang individual holders in a group to create an arresting composition. Or use a single 3-foot-tall scrolled ironwork medallion that holds removable glass votive cups and serves as a piece of art.
No matter what style of candleholder you choose, integrating candlelight into your home fashions an enchanting ambience, an intimate glow, romance and the suggestion of simpler times, something that can be illuminating for all who embrace it.
