Introduce elegance, style, tradition, and comfort in your bedroom with antique furniture. Refurbish your old recliners and bed sets and use them in your bedroom. Wooden beds with intricate hand carvings add an old-world royal touch to the room. Silk bed sheets and pillow cases will complement antique furniture. Introduce full length silk curtains in deep shades of maroon and blue to add an aura of mysticism to the room. To make antique chairs and recliners more comfortable, equip them with soft decorative cushions lined with silk and lace. Typically, antique furniture is made of mahogany, walnut, or oak wood. While they are classy to look at and comfortable to use, their dark colours may make a small bedroom look dingy. White antiques are preferable for smaller spaces. They will brighten up the room and create the illusion of space. Although it does not have a definitive style but it's truly unique. It will fit into any home with ease and give your bedroom a lighter feel. Team them up with airy linen curtains and pastel-coloured bedspreads. Plush woollen carpets and rugs in white will complement this kind of furniture.
Contemporary
When it comes to furniture, contemporary translates to minimalist. Using contemporary furniture in your bedroom would require you to keep in mind both form and function. Opt for sleek functional furniture that allows maximum floor space. Designer metal furniture will serve your purpose to perfection. As a rule, your bed should not take up more than thirty percent of your bedroom space. Keep it centred in the room, with its headboard against the wall. Either black or white metal is suitable for the bed. Keeping this as the focal point, work around the bed and introduce other furniture. Look for tall dressers instead of broad ones. Settle for a few vanity chairs which are simple but elegant. Mount the night lamps on the walls, and get a chic side table with a wide surface and a finelycrafted leg. An armoire that is as perfect for clothes as it is for a TV, or a storage chest with a padded top that works as a seat, are some multifunctional furniture you can introduce in your bedroom.
In terms of upholstery, you can go bohemian and introduce colour in your bedroom with vibrant rugs and bedspreads. Get double-coloured curtains in vivid shades and modern patterns. If you want to tone it down a little, stripes are a good design choice. You could also opt for bold squares and blocks as a theme. From square-shaped rugs to blockpainted bedspreads, you can carry the design all across your bedroom. A thumb rule to remember is to keep the designs bold if you want a contemporary look.
No matter what kind of furniture you choose for your bedroom, make comfort the first priority. The furnishings should make you feel at home and soothe your senses. Surround yourself with colours that have a calming effect on your mind. As far as possible, keep the furniture simple and the upholstery elegant.
