Eclectic Bedroom Design
May 18, 2009
With the wide variety of bedroom designs, aside from the few ones bugging your mind, it sure is a difficult decision which one is the best. What you might be missing out, however, is the simple, practical and rewarding eclectic bedroom design – the one that works best when you’re thinking of giving your bedroom a huge splash of change.
Eclecticism ain’t a cult or a movement, so don’t fret! It refers to the fusion of elements all complimenting each other, producing greater beauty and useful placement of all these elements. Yes, kinda challenging and intensive for the change you have in mind. But truly, it will be a feat so rewarding you’d want the whole eclectic theme for the rest of the house.
But before anything, achieving an eclectic bedroom is firstly, knowing what you want changed. As eclecticism is a mixture of many important things, make sure you also know the bedroom spaces available, the dimension and placement of appliances and furniture in your room. Knowing this will help you map out their new, practical arrangements, and help you determine which things must be thrown out and must be brought in to add to the whole idea.
It is wise to integrate accessories into your new eclectic bedroom. They don’t only add liveliness to the new interior picture; they may also be reminders of achievements, dreams and goals, even persons who are most dear to you. These accessories may come in collage of baby pictures, ornamental plants, artworks your wife doodled, old college shirts stuffed and made into pillows, even the duffle bag your grandpa took home from Vietnam, now made into a bean bag!
Eclecticism is also about self-expression and freedom, minus the messy random things that would clutter, not beautify, your new bedroom. You could hang up framed lyrics of your favorite songs, the beadworks from an Indian reservation, or posters of some nineties rock bands. The idea? They fill the walls with color and life, they provide a statement of who you are.
Convinced now? Here are even spikier ideas that will surely help you out in making your own eclectic bedroom.
- Go COUNTRY and CONTEMPORARY by applying conventional country basics with waves of high-tech and industrial development. Also known as Modern Country, this merge of designs gives off pictures of rustic past and the present;
- Talk to gods and deities with GREEK and ROMAN cultures of past combined, through their architectural achievements, flairs and wisdom. Widely known as Greco-Roman, this gives off the feeling of power, mythology and romance;
- Want something pleasant and exotic, then go TROPICAL and MODERN, where unusual, striking interiors are mixed with the contemporary. This combination provides an ambience of being on a Pacific vacation but being in touch with things that matters most at home.
The best part is, these are just suggestions. The ECLECTIC BEDROOM DESIGN that suits you best is the one YOU will do!
