Bedroom Decorating Ideas

Blue Bedroom Decor


Use your passions and interests to turn your bedroom into a personalized space. If you collect antiques, use them to create a vintage-inspired room; breathe new life into the antiques by turning them into decor and storage items. Show off your vibrant personality by decorating your bedroom with lively color combinations and creative pattern combinations. If you are passionate about environmental issues, decorate using nature-inspired and non-toxic items.


Vintage Appeal


Use your passion for antiques to add charm and style to your bedroom. Choose a vintage-inspired quilt for your bed, and hang antique lace curtains. Add vintage appeal to a modern dresser by replacing hardware with antique porcelain or glass knobs.


Place vintage scarves on the top of your night stand for a quaint look, or use them to create customized pillow covers. Buy a white wicker or shabby chic wood vanity table and chair set for a glamorous, old-fashioned look.


Use antique glass ball jars to hold fresh-cut flowers or personal items. Place black and white family photos in elegant vintage frames and display them on a table or on the wall.








Contrasting Colors and Patterns


Don't be afraid to play with colors and patterns when decorating your bedroom. Enhance a bedroom featuring neutral-colored walls by mixing rich chocolate hues with soft mauve shades; the colors elegantly compliment each other. Use a brown and pink striped comforter, and hang soft pink curtains. Brown and light blue also provide a complimentary color combination.


Create an artistic, eclectic look creatively mixing patterns, such as stripes and polka dots. Choose a striped bedspread and enhance it will pillows featuring circle shapes. You can also add a touch of whimsy to a sophisticated, formal striped chair by adding a floral-patterned pillow; make sure that the color scheme blends well.


Eco-friendly Decor








If you are a nature lover, decorate your bedroom using non-toxic materials and fresh colors. Paint your walls a grass green or sky blue shade using no-VOC paints. Update the flooring with recycled glass tiles of environmentally friendly bamboo flooring.


Choose 100 percent organic cotton bedding, and buy furniture items made with recycled wood. Place pots of live green plants throughout the space for a calming effect and to naturally purify the air.
