Traditional bedroom decorating usually consists of deciding on a central theme or color scheme, then choosing paint, floor coverings, furniture, window treatments and bed linens coordinated to fit that theme.

Paint is the cheapest, most dramatic way to give your room a facelift. Reds, oranges and yellows are said to be stimulating, exciting and powerful, while greens, blues and purples create a calming, healing, relaxing atmosphere. White represents clarity and innocence, while black gives the room a sense of sophistication and elegance. Gray can be nice for neutral accents, but according to color psychology, it can also be boring, conservative and draining to the body.

The bed is the most important piece of furniture in the bedroom. It sets the tone of your room and serves as the focal point for its design. Using colors and patterns throughout the room that can be found in your bed’s design will pull the whole look together.

Your bedroom’s furniture should be both comfortable and practical, yet complement the overall eclectic theme. Bright splashes of color on the walls, curtains, bed sheets and pillow colors will also add a touch of personality.

If you’re mixing two or more distinct patterns, such as plaids and stripes, try to have one or two colors in each that coordinate with or complement each other. Animal prints are also available in a wide range of colors to give your bedroom a truly funky feel.
