Womens Bedroom Ideas

Victorian bedroom

Designing the bedroom of your dreams is possible without hiring an interior decorator. When designing your room, steer clear of cheap décor clichés like a floral garden or a pink ruffles theme. Instead opt for relaxing and pleasing color schemes like soft blue and cream, barely there pink or rich hues like wine red or brown. Below, you'll find suggestions to decorate your feminine bedroom.

Relaxing Retreat

When the goal is to turn your bedroom into a relaxing retreat, a soft color palette is key. Place a soft shade of blue on the walls; a matte finish is ideal. Choose a tufted headboard in a camel shade to keep with the soft and feminine theme of the room. Choose furniture in an extreme color, like deep brown or white; a cherry finish works against the color palette for the room. Pair patterned bedding in a soft blue or cream color with lamps in a coordinating shade. Accent the room with an off-white area rug and art that picks up the pattern of your bedspread.

Blushing Pink

Having a pink bedroom is still attainable for adults. Forget hot pink, fuchsia and baby pinks so your bedroom is fit for a woman, not a child. Paint your walls a barely there shade of pink, like Wild Aster or Powder Blush from Benjamin Moore. Change out the existing hardware on your furniture and replace with pink glass drawer pulls or knobs to add a feminine, vintage touch. Choose curtains in a cream or camel shade, and choose geometric bedding in a soft shade of pink. Incorporate vases, candles, patterned rugs and throws with understated pink accents to complete the look. For a feminine touch, choose to display your jewelry on a dresser top jewelry rack rather than concealing it in a jewelry box.

Asian Quarters

Bring Asian style into your ordinary bedroom by painting your walls a rich shade of red. Offset the harshness of the deep shade by using the sponge technique to blot the color onto the walls. Instead of using a traditional headboard, mount a shoji screen printed with an Asian symbol to the wall behind your bed. Choose bedding in rich orange/brown and red shades to accent the walls. Finish off the look with red, black and authentic Asian accessories, such as a Japanese tea set and a painting of bamboo.
