Accessorize A Feminine Bedroom







Select a vanity with mirror for a classic feminine furniture piece.


Accessorize a bedroom with a feminine theme to create an elegant and ladylike space. Choose a soft, pastel color scheme for the room and complement with floral or feminine colored linens and decor pieces. Select decor items based on elegance and style, such as slender detailing, delicate embellishments, ornate features and linens adorned with lace, ruffles and silk.


Instructions


1. Create a feminine background for the bedroom by painting the walls in a light pastel color, such as purple, pink or pale yellow. Complement the walls with white trim, baseboards and doors. Avoid bright, dark or harsh patterns and colors on the walls.


2. Fill the room with a variety of furniture in a white wood color, with embellished or ornate designs, such as antiques, to fit with the feminine theme. Select a large four-poster bed with ornate posts or a detailed headboard on a standard bed frame for a focal furniture piece in the room. Position a large, cushioned chair in a floral pattern near the window and complete the room with an elegant vanity and framed mirror.








3. Hang a large, crystal chandelier from the ceiling for a glamourous and feminine lighting option. Choose lamps with delicate features and pastel or floral lampshades next to the bed for nighttime reading.


4. Select soft, feminine linens for the bedroom. Adorn the bed with a large comforter, embellished with lace, ruffles or silk accents, in a pastel or floral pattern with a matching bedskirt and ruffled shams. Lay a plush, ornate rug next to the bed and at the foot of any chairs in the room. Place small, embroidered pillows in pastel fabrics throughout the room -- on the bed, chair and window seat, if applicable. Hang long, sheer curtains on the window or drapes embellished with lace, ruffles or other feminine detailing.


5. Create a feminine atmosphere in the bedroom with a variety of decorative accents. Place candles on the nightstand, dresser top and window sills, along with decorative vases filled with colorful faux flowers. Drape long strands of beads around bed posts, lampshades, mirror tops and chair backs. Display makeup, elegant hair combs and brushes, embellished jewelry boxes and hand mirrors on the vanity top to complete the feminine theme bedroom.
