How to Create a Beautiful Feminine Bedroom
- 1). Paint the walls a quintessentially feminine color -- pink or purple, for example. Choose a shade that speaks to your style, such as pastel for an understated country chic room, or a bold shade for a regal look. If purple and pink aren't colors for you, soft shades of yellow, green and blue also work to create a feminine design.
- 2). Select decorative pieces of furniture. A brass canopy bed or a wooden, four-poster bed is an ideal choice for this space. Other options include a bed with an over-sized upholstered headboard that features a solid-colored or printed fabric, matching the color scheme of the room or a headboard and foot board constructed of ornately carved wood. Bring in a vintage satin settee to create a seating area. A vanity with a small seat and a decorative mirror are other pieces of furniture that add a feminine touch to the space.
- 3). Incorporate luxurious linens in the space. Make the bed with satin or high-thread-count cotton sheets in a solid color that coordinates with the color scheme. Place a satin, velvet or brushed-cotton over-stuffed or goose down comforter on top of the sheets. Choose a comforter that features a solid color, or one with a feminine design, such as fleur de lis, toile or gingham. Hang floor-to-ceiling velvet or satin draperies or sheers on the windows to add a romantic look to the space.
- 4). Illuminate the room with a crystal, brass or brushed nickel chandelier and wall sconces.
- 5). Display images of romantic settings on the walls, such as a hillside full of flowers or the Eiffel Tower. Display these images in ornate picture frames.
- 6). Set candelabras and candlesticks topped with scented taper candles on dressers and bedside tables.
- 7). Fill decorative vases with fresh floral arrangements to add natural color and fragrance to the room.
- 8). Place a mirrored makeup tray with decorative perfume bottles, lotion bottles and a sterling silver brush on the vanity or on a dresser.
