Bedroom Furniture Guaranteed to Dazzle
Filed under Feng ShuiFeb 6Sleeping comprises about one third of the average persons life, reports say. But consider everything else done in the bedroom; that’s a lot of time! Shouldn’t it, then, be a stylish and comfortable place to be? The modern materials and design options of today — along with a bit of good marketing — guarantees the delivery of the style of your choice.
There’s the classical American Colonial look, the opposite of the current modern furniture style. Though “four poster” these days brings to mind images of rock bands, it also refers to the classic bed style. Stunning headboards are carved from exquisite oak or maple. To complete the American Colonial look, add a cloth canopy and draperies.
It is surprising that the post-Revolutionary style of ordinary merchants now is the style of the elegant and well-heeled bedroom of today. Whether a chest that can be used to store a thick down comforter or a bureau that matches your American Colonial style, this style reflects our historical heritage.
Asian designs became popular around the turn of the 20th century and continued on to the present. The hallmarks of the style — efficiency and minimalism — are the epitome of modern elegance. They also make possible a range of colors that few other choices can encompass. Bright reds, sea greens and the colors of the sun and sky are all part of the Asian palette. Modern design even incorporates aspects of Asian design, as in the noguchi table.
An armoire of slick black lacquer, inlaid with mother of pearl is one possibility. But even a simple jade or ceramic bowl on the dresser used to hold jewelry and coins can add a touch of Asia to the bedroom. That’s sexy and stylish, cool and hot. This yin and yang effect of Asian bedding and furniture brings into an intimate area all the exotic and stylish attributes that culture is famous for. What could be more comfortable than a set of pillows in Mandarin red stuffed with goose down? An area rugs in matching design to keep the feet off that cold hardwood floor is both stylish and practical. That’s the Asian way.
Swedish and Scandinavian design gained popularity in the 1950s. That choice remains equally popular today. It’s not hard to see why. Swedish design features clean lines and gorgeous yet simple elegance.
The hallmarks of Shaker style are reflected in this design, it’s main features simplicity and peace. That’s always appreciated in these hectic modern times. But it also is an echo of the high-tech look that dominates computers, stereo designs and much more today. With this setup, you can integrate easily with other styles in the house, while maintaining a place of refuge from the world. The best of all possible worlds!
Whatever style suits your taste, and it could even be an eclectic mixture of many, you’ll find modern bedding and bedroom furniture or accent designs available to match. Considering that you spend about one third of your life in your bedroom, it makes sense to invest in beautiful furniture and accents.
