Decorate A Large Bedroom

Hang over-sized mirrors in the bedroom to capture light and add drama.


When you're lucky enough to have a large bedroom, you are able to create a comfortable, multi-functional space. A room that can double as your place to sleep and a space for relaxing, sewing or reading. When decorating the room, consider the shape and size of the space and how you want to feel upon entering. Don't be afraid to incorporate bold colors and patterns and try to reflect the style of the rest of the home to unify the space. Embrace the over-sized room and utilize every square inch to create your own personal oasis.


Instructions


1. Create a lounging area in the large bedroom with a set of over-sized chairs. Tuck them into the corner of the room for a personal space to read or knit.








2. Add large furniture pieces like armoires and dressers to the bedroom to provide height, help fill in the space and add extra storage.


3. Incorporate a wooden bed frame to the large bedroom to provide a stately display. Add a fabric-covered canopy bed to create a cozy feel within the large space.


4. Paint one wall in the bedroom a rich, dramatic color like navy blue or deep gray to create an accent wall and help to transform the cavernous room into a cozy space.


5. Apply wallpaper to the wall behind the bed in bold patterns like stripe, trellis or paisley to give depth to the large room. Alternatively, wallpaper can also double as a makeshift headboard or piece of artwork in the room.


6. Hang a decorative piece of fabric or rug on one wall to add depth to the space and help fill in bare walls. Place the piece over a wooden dowel to make your own piece of art that also helps to center the bedroom.


7. Mount a trio of mirrors to create a sculptural display to the room, while reflecting light into the space. Use floor-to-ceiling mirrors to create height and drama in the room.


8. Install floor-to-ceiling curtains to accentuate large windows. Use neutral tones like creamy whites and beige to set off a dark wall color.
