Design A Modern Bedroom

Simple shapes and colors go into modern design.


Modern design, based on a simple but powerful art, works with basic shapes and colors. However, modern design still requires considerable planning to develop a room with that modern feel. Designing a bedroom needs to include the necessities, such as the bed, nightstand, lighting and a dresser. Giving these traditional furniture pieces in your bedroom some modern elements will add much more of an edge to the room.


Instructions


1. Find a color for your walls. Usually people think of the basics when they think of modern: blacks and whites or primaries. You can paint one wall or all of them.


2. Consider your furniture options. Will you be purchasing new furniture for your modern room, or using old furniture? If you purchase new furniture, as you shop around, ask someone to help you find something modern. If you're going to use furniture from around the house, you will need to consider not only the modern elements, but also whether pieces match the rest of the bedroom. Look for things that are close in color. All you need is a dresser, a nightstand (or two) and a bed frame with a mattress.


3. Find art to go in your new modern room. Use the artwork to express what the furniture does not. Use artwork with incredible textures and colors. If you're on a budget, you may be able to find some online. If not, search your local art galleries.


4. Buy the right comforter. Your bed needs to look crisp and sharp in your new modern bedroom, and that means no floral or pink bedspreads. Try to stick with a solid color, but if that is not possible, no more than three colors to a bedspread, and try to avoid wild patterns.








5. Buy a rug for the room that gives it more zest. You may want to look for a rug that matches some artwork, or find one that matches the bedspread. Avoid buying one that matches the color of the floor, unless you want the rug to get lost visually.


6. Find lamps in new and different shapes to set around your room. Put a lamp on the nightstand and add a new floor lamp for extra lighting if you need it. Hang a lampshade over a light you already have in your room. Lamps need to give enough light to see well at night but also should be interesting. Modern lamps come in different shapes and give your modern bedroom the ultimate look.
