Tips & Techniques from Interior
Decorators for Decorating Bedroom & Bathroom, Garden &
Reception
Since the bedroom is rarely visited
by people who come to your home, there is a tendency to
neglect the bedroom interior decoration at the cost of
the living room or reception area decorations. However,
you will realize that this is indeed your very own
personal space and much of what you feel; energy comes
from this room where you spend most of your time at
home. You might want to decorate it with care.
The best way to
incorporate variety in your bedroom decoration is by
using neutral colours for the walls. This way you will
not need to match your curtains and bed sheets according
to the colour of the wall, but you can use almost any
patterns and colours of curtains, bed sheets and pillow
cases you want. You can give in to almost any whim that
you might have!
Accessories can
also do a lot to improve the interiors. You might have
mementos lying around. We suggest you cluster them up in
groups, based on theme, and display them in one corner.
Likewise, use candles to add a touch of freshness and
harmony to the interiors of your bedroom. Candles and
potpourri also provide fragrance. These little things
give your bedroom your own distinct personality.
Decorations for
the bathroom are other important elements. You want your
bathroom to look fresh and well lit all the time. Again,
you will need to watch your budget, but the good news is
everything is available within the budget you decide.
Variety can be added by painting walls something other
then white. You can use different colours for walls and
ceilings. We recommend the use of darker colours for the
ceiling for the illusion of height. Also experiment with
shapes, patterns, colours and textures while you do your
cabinets and other fittings.
A garden is
always a place for you to channel your inherent need to
care and nurture and, therefore, the garden decoration
is also of utmost importance. According to your taste in
the arts, you can choose statues which also harbour
fountains to give your garden an elegant look. Colourful
flags are another way to see to it your garden looks
bright and sunny. We suggest that you take great care to
lay out your garden. Decide where you want your plants,
the greenhouse, the fountain, the graveled path, etc.
If you want an American look, keep the above pointers in
mind while decorating your home. All the best!
