Modern interior designs have taken aspects of the past such as four poster beds and used them to create wonderful havens of peace and relaxation in master bedrooms.
Having a four poster bed does not mean that you have to have out dated or period style interior. By using the right colour combination you can transform your bedroom into a light and airy space which is both comfortable and beautiful.
Opt for white as the main colour as you will then be able to use accent colours in hues and shades which suit your colour scheme. Duck egg blue used in combination with navy is a great way to a nautical style theme which is stunning and not 'over the top'
Getting the balance of colours right is an important aspect of interior design. By choosing a pastel or natural colour is an ideal way to make rooms appear larger and sophisticated. If you wish for a deeper mood enhancing colours such as regal purples teamed with opulent gold it will be advantageous if you have large rooms, otherwise the design can become over powering.
By having neutral colours you provide a 'canvas' from which you can include subtle touches to add charm or chic style depending on the type of interior which suits both your family needs along with the style of your home.
Bed canopies and curtaining has become increasingly popular trend in modern bedrooms and whilst for the majority of the time they are purely used for aesthetic reasons, they are a striking feature which can really transform and lift a bedroom from the norm into a rooms which oozes chic style trends.
Whether you coordinate the fabric of the bed canopy or curtains along with the window dressing is to some extent a matter of personal preference. However, by having gorgeous sheer fabrics at the windows and medium weight bed curtains does enable you to have privacy in an old fashioned yet highly fashionable way!
Bedside cabinets are typically outside the parameters of a four poster bed, along with bedside table lamps of wall lighting. This enables you to leave the curtaining open whilst reading or watching TV and only closing them when sleep and privacy is required!
Of course if you include a 'roof' to your four poster bed it will help to prevent you being bitten if you live in hot countries which are plagued by mosquitoes! For people in the UK this is rarely a problem, however, to create an authentic look of sophistication having a 'roof' is essential.
Many of the modern four poster bed fabrics cannot actually be full closed, they are used solely for appearance. This is a great way to create affordable style without having to spend a fortune of fabric!
The manner in which you hold both your window treatment and your bed curtains open needs to be given careful consideration in order to create a stylish look. Modern homes may prefer beaded style hold backs, which can be used in coordinating or complimentary colours to add a unique twist. Whilst the more traditional style of tassel tie backs can be used to give a stunning chic look to the overall finish of the room. |
