An exotic Moroccan bedroom
A dream bedroom bathes you in comfort, making you feel special. The room can be decorated in a variety of styles and still create this effect. Muted blue, purple, and yellow colors, along with plush fabrics, mimic the French country look. By contrast, zen-inspired rooms offer tranquil simplicity, just right for de-stressing. Moroccan accents and warm colors lend an exotic air and spice up your life. Relaxing in a dream bedroom rewards you at the end of a hectic day.
Zen Bedroom
Create this room by starting with sage or moss green walls to evoke calmness; the zen style takes its color from nature. Rest a simple mattress on top of a straight-lined chocolate brown platform bed frame. Add a matching green bed covering topped with chocolate, green, and gunmetal silver throw pillows. Use an organic wool or cotton rug in a neutral tone to cushion the floor. Alternatively, sisal throw rugs work well on a wood floor. Hang paper lanterns on each side of the bed over boxy chocolate end tables. Place large, green floor pillows around a low square table located at the end of the bed or in a comfortable corner. Include natural accessories, such as a bowl of smooth river rocks, candles, and rectangular pots of live grasses add additional natural ambiance. One large focal piece, such as a hanging water fountain, completes this design with sight, sound, and texture. This room is defined by balance and simplicity as noted by the Room Design Online website.
French Country Bedroom
White trim highlighting soft, blue walls serve as the backdrop for a casual French country-style room. Re-purposed a metal wrought iron gate as a headboard. Find a bedspread with a sunny white or yellow background, overlaid with a meadow of flowers. Choose a bed skirt and pillows covered in coordinating stripes, plaids, or toile. Hang billowy, chiffon curtains over the windows. Place a chaise lounge or cushioned bench at the foot of the bed, which is covered by a soft green, knitted throw blanket. Frame the bed with ceramic lamps sitting upon distressed, whitewashed wooden end tables. Use oval frames, hung by silk ribbons, to encase black and white family photographs. Place a rocking chair in the corner of the room by a small round table with a patterned fabric cloth. Include accessories such as china tea cups, lace hankies, old books, fresh flowers, or a bowl of lemons or apples.
Moroccan Bedroom
Curry-colored walls set the stage for this exotic bedroom. The focal point is a dark wood four poster bed, sheathed in a rich comforter in tones of paprika with gold accents. Drape red chiffon curtains over the bed like a canopy. Add satiny throw pillows in spicy red, orange, and gold tones, accented with crystal beads and fringe. Use black wrought iron sconces above dark wood end tables flanking the bedside. Create a focal wall with mosaic tile squares embedded into a gridded wooden frame. Rich oriental carpets anchor the design while adding warmth to the floor. The African Images websites suggests placing scented candles in Moroccan lamps. Moroccan pottery pieces accessorize the rest of the space.
