Bedroom Decorating Tips

The bedroom should be more than a resting place. It should also be a place to fulfill your fantasies. That makes it quite personal because that will be different for everyone. You may want your bedroom to resemble the tomb of a pharaoh (I don't, but you might), an Arabian tent, a country retreat, or as austere as an ecclesiastical chamber (again, not for me).

Of all the rooms in your home, the bedroom is the most private. Not many eyes cast their view of it. It is the one room you are entitled to have complete, undisturbed and total privacy. Often the master bedroom is large enough to handle a seating arrangement, and some even host fireplaces and large screen TVs.

But amidst all this originality, there are a few basic elements one will find or generally chose to place in one's bedroom. They are: a bed and bed frame,end tables, chests, a chair and ottoman, a desk (if there is room), a soft, warm floor covering, awindow treatment that coordinates with the style of the room, lamps and, of course, accessories. Of course, the decisions are wide and varied and deeply personal.
