Contemporary Bedroom Furniture with Aesthetic Appeal

Author: Clay Phipps

Make It Match

Sometimes matching furniture works well, and sometimes it seems passé’ or simply unnecessary. It all depends on the construction design of the various pieces of furniture as well as the grainor the decorative patterns that augment the visible surfaces. Some bedrooms look great when the bedframe, the dresser, the nightstands and the chairs are all radically different in design and appearance, especially when you have antiques or classic furniture to play with. However, with a well-designed set of matching furniture and a room with a layout that fits, this approach can be stunning. Of course, style counts as well, and there’s a lot to choose from in that respect. The modern Japanese style furniture design is widely considered to be attractive. The grain and the natural sheen of bamboo is so naturally beautiful and exotic that going with a matching bedroom set is almost mandatory. The early American style isn’t as popular as it once was, but it always adds an appealing sense of history to a room (especially for the British).

Make It Shine

You can make wonders with your bedroom, or any room for that matter, with a skillful balance of color and light. As agood example, the Japanese style of interior decoration incorporates traditional artwork, in the form of calligraphy, and subtle yet sufficient illumination, in the form of traditional rice paper lamps. Deciding where to place the artwork and the lamps can be fun and creative, and Feng Shui is a great guide because it provides a balanced approach to interior landscaping. Another way to makes things shine is playing around with the placement of mirrors, but the Feng Shui philosophy urges us not to put mirrors in bedrooms at all, since they wreak havoc with chi/prana/life-force when people are sleeping.

Make It Yours

Presumably, people have been debating which room in any given house is the most influential and/or essential and/or intimate ever since we emerged from living in caves. Kitchens are where we usually begin each day and nourish ourselves and wish those we love a wonderful a day. Living rooms are where we commune with friends and relatives and reach out to the world as a whole with different forms of media. Many people adore attics, and even basements, because they often hide treasures and mysteries worth pondering. Some people, such as plumbers, might venture to say that bathrooms are the most sacred rooms in the world. This view point does have some primal merit, when you consider the fact that non-human creatures don’t even have a commode. On another level, don’t forget about closets and what they contain. At any rate, the emphatic point here is that every room is sacred, and yet the bedroom is usually the one where we dream, regenerate, make love, contemplate life, and face our inner truths, so make it your personal sanctuary by filling it with all the things and all the people you really care about, even if you’re all by yourself.
