- that the furniture matches ,and if
all the pieces are not the same style they should atleast have
uniformity of colour and texture.
- The walls and the lighting should
be tenous and not be concentrated around the head board.
- The essential function of the bed
is to provide a surface which is neither too hard nor too soft for
the back and body to response in the correct position.
- Choosing the right mattress is also
complicated as there are many dofferent types to choose
from:foam,latex,spring,and combinetions ,with one side for summer
and the other for winter, anti-allergy,traditional wool ones,and a
sybaritic tendency to place several mattresses one on top of other
,one spring and other latex.
- Wardrobes and beds are usually
combined in the bedrom and are designed to make the most of the
space available,they incorporate comfortable details such as doors
which open with just a light touch and the indispensable interior
lighting.
- Wardrobes are usually from 1.90 to
2m high and 55cm deep and have interior steps for adjusting the
shelves.If the wardrobe has only two doors it is a good idea to put
mirrors on the inside to be able to see oneself from behind as well
as the front.
- When deciding how to finish the
walls and the ceiling in the bedroom one must know the kind of
atmosphere desired and how to maintain it.Normally it is recommended
to paint the headboard wall a more outstanding colour than the other
three which should all be the same relaxing ,warm colour.So if the
furniture and the upholstery has already been chosen,the walls and
ceiling should be their appropriate background.
- Carpeted walls are another
alternative for the bedroom which normally is considered when the
floor is carpeted as well,very appropriate for colder,more humid
climates for their insulation and warmth.
- Bedroom lighting should have a
special treatment,the tone of the light should be warm and cozy,to
achieve this,apart from the ceiling light and the lamps on the night
table, we recommend that the light intensity might also be
adjustable.The regulator of light intensity, also called a dimmer,is
a mechanism which permits,apart from the normal function of a light
switch .gradual control of intensity of the light,allowing one to
choose the exact level desired between the total lighting and the
total darkness of the room.
- Interior door frames should be as
decorative as the doors,highlighting their design and quality.If the
frame should expand or contract dua to wood's movement it will have
to be carefully planed,checking the measurements
regularly,re-hanging the door to check the progress untill it is
correct,remembering that there should always be a little pay.
- When decorating one's bedroom one
usually mixes and matches coordinating fabrics,in the
curtains,bedspreads,pillows,lampshades,headboards,walls,but avoiding
overdoing it.
- Whites and creams adapt to both
classic and modern styles and are found in fabrics made of
cotton,polyster,wool and embroidered linen.
- Fabrics with a natural design
create a bucolic atmosphere,with light lovely colours,with fabrics
like cretonne,polyster and cotton chintz,silk,faille,teffeta.
- One romantic finish is to cross two
embroided muslin blinds held open with two wide velvet bands.
- There is nothing better than a
wooden rug to warm up a room,placing one at the end of the bed is
not only a basic decoretive element but also an object which adds
warmth,calm and intimacy.The choice of a rug depends primarily upon
the floor,furniture,wals,upholstery, luminosity,space and if the
bedroom has a specific decor,one will be obliged to choose a
coordinating rug which is essential to create the right atmosphere.
- Bedspreads,sheets,blankets,quilts,comforters,and
pillows all enter into the play in the decoration of the bedroom.One
need only know the decorative style and have bit of extra fabric to
combine walls,curtains,canopies,headboards,lampshades etc.with the
indispensable bedding.
- The fabric is the body and soul of
the bedroom set,such as jacquard,tapestry inspired, elegant and
noble lines which shine through somber tones.
