Simple Steps For An Island Theme Bedroom
Do you consider your bedroom nothing more than the place where you sleep at night? While it’s true that you many not spend many of your waking hours in this room, it’s still important to create an atmosphere that’s relaxing and comfortable, which will help you sleep better at night. Besides, you want every room in your home to be attractively decorated and appealing to the eye. If you’re looking for some exotic decorating ideas for your bedroom, here are a few tips to get you started.
Create the Atmosphere in Your Mind
Think of an exotic island getaway—what comes to mind? Most likely, your mental picture will include lush tropical foliage, fresh island breezes, and a totally relaxing atmosphere. Given that the word “exotic” often refers to wild animals, it’s not surprising that zebra and leopard prints are common in this type of décor. Combining a fresh, light, and calming aura with the bold excitement of the exotic makes this a particularly interesting design style. Some Asian insprirations will add to the relaxed, easy charm.
Keep Your Exterior Surroundings Light
Keep all your exteriors—including the walls, floors, and ceiling—light and airy. This stunning look starts with cream or lightly colored walls and flooring. Cream-colored carpeting or light wood floors make the perfect foundation for this exotic island design style. Look to the colors of the beach to create the perfect base for the rest of the look: from pure white sands to caramel browns. Any shade will work, from the lightest beige to deep rust. Also amazing in this style of décor is a caramel and coffee scheme, incorporated with bold black and white accents.
Make the Bed Your Focal Point
If you’re looking for the perfect furnishing style for this décor, you don’t need to look further than boldly carved Colonial pieces. To really make your bed the room’s center attraction, decorate it with an abundance of plush coverings, tossing several thick throw pillows in dramatically bold designs into the mix. Now, you can turn your attention to adding the finishing touches.
Furniture, Plants, and Other Accessories
Complete the exotic island look with some carefully selected accessories. Add a few silk tropical plants, a touch of rattan, and a simple yet elegant chandelier. You can add interest without detracting from the focal point with a few Asian-inspired woven baskets, and a simple rattan chair will make the perfect addition to the room. Hang light, airy curtains on your windows. Keep the chandelier romantic but simple. Don’t choose anything that’s overly dramatic or too detailed. A zebra skin rug would be a perfect touch, creating a look that’s just original enough to ensure that the bedroom becomes your favorite room of all.
Incorporating décor from different countries is growing increasingly popular. For this style, Asian accents blend with the exotic patterns of Africa, while the overall design theme is totally relaxed and light. When you’re surrounded by this décor, you can almost visualize basking at the edge of the ocean as warm breezes gently caress your body.
Above all, create a style that’s all your own. With a little imagination, you can transform your ordinary bedroom into something extraordinary.
