Funky Chic Bedroom Styles

Creative flair meets stylish elegance in funky chic decor.


The options are endless when you create funky chic bedroom styles. This interior design technique uses clean lines and neutral colors, definitive of chic style, married with antique elements and splashes of funky prints.


Walls and Bed


Sheer curtains can add depth and color to a neutral room.








Walls, trim and moldings are painted a warm white, brown, beige or even burgundy. The bed should be central and have colors that complement the walls. Most often the bed will look antique.


Furniture


Burgundy and gold are effective accents to work with.


Consignment store finds and homemade creations are the real features of funky chic bedrooms. French inspired patterns and animal prints are two of the most common upholstery elements seen on an eclectic bench or ottoman.


Pillows


Patterned pillows add interesting detail.


Fun-looking pillows of different designs, shapes and sizes are seen all over funky chic bedrooms. Colorful, shiny, tasseled cushions, with at least a few antique chic pillows, are usually thrown in the mix.


Lights


Hanging lights


An ornate light fixture is usually hung from the ceiling. Antique lamps and funky candles can be added to cast a soft light, making the bedroom cozy.


Sheer Fabrics








Funky touches make all the difference.


Sheer curtains, scarves or scrap fabrics add a romantic touch. They can be used to create a canopy over the bed, wrap furniture in a bow, or add flair to window treatments.
