Who wants to go to sleep, be passionate with your sweetie or wake up in a boring out dated master bed room. Lets face it, in this economy most of us are staying put in our homes and not going out as much as we used to. Many of us have decided not to move, but to redesign our homes and why not start with the master bed room. Have you ever stayed in a hotel room or bed in breakfast that you wish could be your home? Why not turn your room into that special place.
If you are going to really take the step and do something about your room, why not start with your walls. Darker, richer paint color can really do the trick. I have put together three room for you that all have fantastic wall color, from mood enhancing, to calming and even a little wild.
Organic Wool Duvet
The first room the walls are painted in a luscious deep purple color, called Tropical Dusk 2117-40. This room would look fantastic if you added dark hard wood floors, and sheer cream draperies to the windows in a soft swag. A four poster bed with sheer fabric cascading between posts would add a soft romantic feel to the room. The bedding duvet should be in a rich velvet with many soft down pillows added for comfort. You can complete the room with a fantastic crystal chandelier hanging in the center of the room.
For a calmer more soothing atmosphere you can use a soft chillian 2135-50. This is a beautiful grey blue color that has a cool clean feel to it. White plantation shutter on your window and natural cream wool carpet with texture would add to the soothing romantic feel of the room. Your bedding can be soft and luxurious in white linens with textured pillows in the same blue tone. If you have room for a slipcover lounge in soft washed cotton that would add to the soft comfortableness of the room. Thrown in a few antique white wash end tables and maybe add a fake fireplace if you do not already have one. This room also could use a water feature even if it is a small fountain that sits on a table. Recessed lights will add a nice clean feel to the room and make sure to add a dimmer for mood enhancement.
The third bed room we can add a touch of the wild side to by accenting the room with animal prints done properly they can have a timeless, sophisticated appeal. The walls will be painted in a very rich dawnport tan. This is a deep velvety brown color that comes from the historic collection HC-76. I would then add a tropical touch to this room with distressed wood floors in a cherry stain and a bamboo fan. The area rug would be a faux animal print in deep browns, creams and black. The window will be covered in a bamboo shade with a rod above it and two drapery panels on each side of the window. The fabric on the windows can either be a heavy or light material depending on how heavy you want the room to feel. The bedding can have splashes of red and black with browns and cream added in. I love to add a touch of red when I can, it always adds a little passion and excitement to any bed room. The pillows on the bed should have some animal patterns in it. If you have room for a chair or small love seat this is a place where you could also add an animal pattern as well.
I have described three terrific rooms for you, you have to choose which one will wake up the passion in you. A bed room is the hallmark of a great relationship, so why not have the bedroom of your dreams. If you have a picture of a room that you would love to create but are not sure how to get started give me a call and I will be glad to give you some pointers. All of the paint colors mentioned are from the Benjamin Moore collection which can be found on line or through a designer.
