Bedroom Decorating Ideas - Tips on choosing the right furniture

Sponsored by SecretsToHomeDecoratingSuccess.com
Hi gang, Rick here from Bedroom Decorating Ideas. As well as a place of rest, the bedroom provides an escape from stress and worry - a haven from the everyday comings and goings of family life. It’s the most private room in the house and, unlike other areas of a family home, belongs exclusively to the individual or couple who sleep there. With the right furnishings and planning, it can become an idyllic refuge that offers a great deal of comfort and relaxation.

Choice of bed

The choice of bed is of course a main consideration when decorating a bedroom. The average person spends over a third of their life in a bed so it’s important that the right kind is chosen. Symptoms such as back-pain and lack of sleep are often attributed to a poor bed and merely buying a new mattress will not necessarily alleviate these problems. The best solution is to purchase a divan and mattress together, considering that both are designed to work with each other. The big furniture retailers sell them individually or in sets.

Brass beds can prove a very attractive centre-piece and are relatively inexpensive nowadays. They offer a more traditional ambience and are suited to most styles of bedding, due to their practical design. The same is true of four-poster beds. These can provide added privacy as well as enhancing the look and feel of a bedroom. However, they are more suited to larger, high-ceiling bedrooms so careful consideration is advised if you’re thinking about buying one.

The placement of a bed is often influenced by space. The standard practice is to place it in the centre of the room, with the headboard pushed against a wall. Although this method can save space, if your bedroom is spacious it might be worth considering other layouts. The positioning of a bed might enable you to include other furniture pieces such as a desk or table. It can also provide more storage space.

Bedroom’s living space

A bedroom’s space is often divided between two people. Therefore, it’s worth considering the allocation of storage furniture to each person - it can help bring order and organisation to a bedroom’s living space. Wardrobes and cupboards are a popular means of storage and can often bring character and charm. Wardrobes with sliding doors are a more space-effective alternative to hinged versions and are available in a variety of designs. It is worth paying a bit extra if you want the sliding-door feature as budget versions often suffer from sticking runners. Chests of drawers provide a further storage option and come in the form of tall-boys and standard three-door varieties. If you don’t have enough hanging space for cloths then this type of furniture can offer an effective solution to clothes storage.

Using Thrift Store Handbags to Decorate Teen Girls Bedrooms

Here is a bedroom decorating idea that your teen daughter will love! What girl over the age of 13 doesn't love handbags? This decorating idea will be a hit with everyone. It is unique and it will solve your daughter's storage problems at the same time.

Choose a section of wall space in her room and paint it a co-ordinating color to match her decor. This will form the backdrop for her eclectic handbag collection. If you want it to really look like "art" you can frame the area by attaching molding to the wall or artfully do some block painting. Mount coat hooks randomly around the framed area. Paint them the same color as the wall so they will blend in or leave them as is if they are decorative.

Now comes the fun part. You get to go shopping! You can find funky handbags and totes very cheaply at thrift stores and dollar stores. It should not cost much more than $20 for a selection of 10-20 handbags. Choose a variety of sizes from little clutch bags to large roomy totes in bright colors and interesting textures.
Hang the purses in a pleasing arrangement on the hooks.

Now your daughter has all the storage space she needs for her accessories, CDs, cosmetics, magazines, etc. PLUS she has a great supply of handbags to use anytime she wants. Maybe if you are lucky she will let you borrow them too!
