DECORATION TOUCH IN ATTIC BEDROOM

The color palette is a chief consideration when designing your attic room. To create the attic room feel bigger by using colors which reflect equal brightness, or using a monochromatic color palette. We can use a moss green color palette, or if you desire more color you can paint with hues of purple, blue and green that all show the same tone and intensity. You can also add depth to a room by painting the wall opposite the entrance a deep intense color. One trick for making your room appear larger is to paint the walls a hue which appears to make them recede - grayish or blue gray hues are often used for this. However if that sounds too bland, don't worry because cool colors such as purples, blues and greens also recede so you can use your attractive colors without making the room feel cramped.

Use furniture sparingly and try smaller items. Instead of having bureaus, try using under bed storage which will make it seem more spacious while still allowing for plenty of storage for clothing. One thing you can do to add interest is to mix in a few larger scaled items, like a big cheval mirror, which not only add character but will actually make your attic bedroom feel like it is bigger than it actually is.

Think of features you could add to your design theme which will help to make good use of space in the attic room. A minimalist or Zen like design style could work better as it will be less cluttered hence making the room look more spacious. No matter what you decide, remember to be certain that you like it, this should be a cozy, comfortable space.

When decorating a small attic bedroom you should also think about things like the placement of your furniture and accessories. Utilizing the principals of Feng Shui in your attic room can help bring harmony to your home. Making sure doorways are clear of furniture can help make it seem bigger. Plus, if you can focus the eye on the larger pieces like a big mirror, it can help make the room feel more open.

Try to be creative and your feeling outside the box - anything you can do to add interest to your attic bedroom will be sure to take your guests mind off of the small size of the room and onto it's charming appeal!

Interior Designing Tips: Bedrooms & Dens



● When interior designing your bedrooms, make sure the rooms are cozy and restful in appearance. Avoid bright colors like orange. Bright colors won't induce you to sleep. Neutral, pastel and warm colors are best suited for bedrooms.

● If you are starting your interiors from scratch, you can start by choosing fabrics first and base the color of you wall from it, then you can select furniture that compliments the color of walls and the fabrics that you are going to use.

● Save on expensive wall decor, go through magazines, art books or even your child's art work at school and have the picture framed. Not only will you save, you will have a unique picture that is not found on commercial home decor stores.

● Consider an extra cabinet or storage space inside your bedroom or den, they are areas that usually invite clutter. It is important to always have your room neat and clutter free.

● Use warm flooring on bedroom floors like wood and carpet. Don't use ceramic tiles, marble or granite on bedroom floors. It is not pleasant to get out of bed in the morning and step on a cold floor. If a cold flooring material is already installed, put an area rug beside the bed.

● If you can, use the same fabric, design and color of the bedcovers as with the curtains. The room will have that "Interior Designed" look.

● If your room is small, use mirrors on the walls. It gives the room an illusion of space (If you are a Feng Shui believer, see the tips on mirrors).

● For bedrooms and specially dens, put an exhaust fan on the ceiling or wall farthest from the window. It will suck-in the cold air outside and keep the air inside the room fresh and cool. This can even save you electricity bills by not using your air conditioner during cool months.

● Some of us wants our bedrooms to be dark even late in the day specially when we sleep late. Thus some of us put up very dark curtains. Deep colored curtains against a light colored wall comes very strong. It is better to have your walls a shade darker and the curtain a little lighter to lessen the contrast. An alternative is to use two layered curtains instead one that is very dark.

● Aside from the typical center light on the middle of the ceiling, use lampshades, pin lights and up lights for mood lighting. These type of lighting gives dark and light patterns of light in the room.

● 1/3 of you life is spent on your bed. Invest in a good mattress, pillows and cotton or linen sheets -they absorb perspiration better.

● The bedroom is your private space, among all rooms in your home, your bedroom's look and atmosphere should be the most relaxing and reflective of your personal taste and style.
