There are secrets that interior designers employ in decorating any bedroom. Are there no-fail guidelines in creating that perfect haven?
I think if you follow these do’s and don’ts provided by the experts at Calico Corners, you’ll be well on your way to the perfect bedroom.
Do’s
* Use soft fabrics and textures on your bed.
* Make your bed the focal point, either by its frame or through the fabrics you use on it. Make it stand out from the walls by employing contrasting colors.
* Add window treatments that complement the bed.
* Use different hues of the same color, if you prefer a monochromatic decor.
* Hide the TV if you have it in your room.
* Use pretty covered containers to hide clutter.
* Install different levels of lighting (eg., lamps and dimmers) in the bedroom.
* Change the look of your bed over the year.
Don’ts
* Don’t overwhelm your bed with pillows. Pick 4-5 beautiful utility and decorative pillows.
* Don’t use your bedroom as your office.
* Don’t overflow your nightstands with clutter.

Great advice! I am in total agreement with everything you said especially the fact that the bed should be the focal point of the room. I tell all my clients it is the first thing you notice when you step into the room. But, I feel it is important to put emphasis on not only the bedding but also the sheets. You should buy the best thread count your budget will allow. This is where you rest and rejuvenate for the next day. You should feel pampered. Here is a favorite link of mine you may want to check out for bedding and linens for your site elegantlinenspc.com. I recommend them to all my clients, they have everything you could possibly need for your bed and bath.
