Highlight One Furniture - Bedroom Design Tips

It is equally important to highlight one furniture. As a piece of accent furniture helps in creating designs evolving around it, that would bring in amazing results. For instance, you may place an armchair next to the window, that is draped with flowy curtains and place a coffee table next to it with a few books. And complete the look with a fur rug and a floor lamp. Here the elegant armchair acts as the accent chair. Similarly, you could bring the focus on any furniture within the bedroom like the bay window with storage under, dresser with an elegant mirror and so on.

Focus On The Window - Adorn It With The Curtains, Drapes Or Blinds

Many times, It has been found that the window opening is the least prioritized, rather completely ignored. And it is definitely time to change the outdated window coverings! But there are three factors that need to be considered while choosing the window covering:

1. Is it for aesthetic purposes or to block lights? Or both
2. You need to know what would suit your bedroom design the best? Is it the curtains? The drapes? Or the blinds?
3. The colour, the texture and the patterns on the window covering.

It is always a good idea to combine sheer curtains with curtains that are capable of blocking lights. The addition of both would provide you with an option to switch between both as per your requirement which would directly give a boost to the aesthetic factor as well as the comfort factor. Similarly, it is equally important to pay attention to the material of the fabrics, the texture, the colours and the patterns.

Just in case, if you are not sure about what colours and patterns to choose from, it is recommended to stick with a pale neutral shade from the bedroom colour palette. And as far as patterns are concerned, opt for curtains with subtle patterns, rather than one with bold prints. Even opting for blinds would give the bedroom a trendy yet minimalist appealing look.
