Decide what you want in your life and put it in your bedroom.

The first thing you need to decide on when decorating your bedroom is the feel you are going for. Make sure that you are completely at home with the look so that you can relax more easily as you go to sleep. Do you want a very sexy, sensual bedroom? Would you like a peaceful, Zen theme? Or how about an invigorating bright bedroom that will inspire you as you sleep?
Whatever you decide to do with your bedroom, you're going to need a few key furniture pieces; A bed, bedside table, a wardrobe and extra furniture for storage. Plenty of storage space is vital for a tidy, uncluttered, spacious looking home, and the bedroom is an ideal place for surplus storage space.
Here are some suggested themes for your bedroom;
Sexy and Sensual
For a sexy look in your bedroom, you could go for a crimson colour scheme. Try a creamy colour with a deep red feature wall or panels. Match your feature or accent wall colour with cushions or throws. Purple tones can be very sensual too. Go for a dark aubergine for that luxurious, romantic feel.
Colour isn't the only thing to think about when creating a sensual space. Your bed should be a subtle contrast to the rest of the room and be as inviting as possible. Try a sumptuous four-poster bed. Our modern
And of course, you'll need storage for all those discarded clothes! The red toned furniture/wardrobes/walnut-toulouse-Walnut Toulouse Wardrobe is a wonderful piece and would look good in a sensual-themed bedroom. Having said that, in the throes of passion you're more likely to fling your clothes onto an elegantly sexy seat such as the Shanxi Low Back Carver rather than putting them away neatly in a wardrobe!
You'll also need a bedside table - try the Toulouse Bedsideto match the wardrobe - and a dressing table to look your best. The Paris Oak Dressing Table could provide a light contrast to the bed, separating the room into sections.
Peaceful and Zen
Balance is key for this theme. Go for clean lines without too much detail, and mostly light colours, but put in some darker tones too to balance the room. For example, the minimal dark stained Lumber Cubic bed (also available in natural) would look great with white organic bed sheets. Most of our beds would complement a Zen theme - take a look at the clean straight lines of the Texture Bed and the Horizon Bed.
Invest in a really good mattress to help you sleep in your peaceful Zen room. Our 1200 pocket sprung mattress is a popular choice.
Blue and green hues are strongly associated with peace and calm. Alternatively, neutral beiges, creams and browns will make you feel relaxed and set off the furniture perfectly.
Invigorating and inspirational
You can try a bold look by using contrasting colours with the accessories in the bedroom. You could try blue and orange, opposites on the colour spectrum that work really well together. You could stick to primary and secondary colours, our beautiful multicoloured Mosaic Shimmer Panel brightens up rooms instantly. The Shanxi Bed is a particularly dramatic piece; its black lacquered finish makes surrounding colours look even brighter.
If you would like the Oriental look in your inspirational bedroom, try other furniture from the Shanxi range, such as the wardrobe,, chest or wellington, and the Oriental Shanxi bedside. If you are looking for an easy way to decorate, picking one range and sticking with it is a great idea - especially if you don't feel confident in your personal decorating skills.
If you are a little more adventurous, try combining furniture pieces from different ranges. The Mino Tallboy goes well in a room with the Ginger bedside. These pieces are very versatile, because they will go with almost any colour scheme. Different colours will bring out different tones in the wood. Warm colours will make the wood almost glow. Neutral colours will look good with the furniture, but may not be particularly invigorating; try contrasts for that refreshingly inspirational look. Cool colours such as lemon yellows and bright blues will make light coloured unfinished teak furniture look even lighter, and could lend itself to an almost beachside feel. Try the natural Horizon bed with blue walls and yellow accessories and you'll feel like you're on holiday every day.
