Neutral Tones Serve As Grounding of Other Colors
When you design an eclectic bedroom, you don't want a single
hued room but instead you would start with neutral tones as the basis to lay
other colors on to create a beautiful palette of colors.
You may decide to put
a gold brass bed frame with matress in the bedroom while having a teal colored
nightstand and a metallic silver painted dresser situated a few feet from the
bed. Or you may have a wooden frame bed with a yellow nightstand, black
chandelier and a medium sized red nightstand.
Paint Your Walls in Bold Colors
A part of having a hipster-style eclectic bedroom is bold
colors for the walls and there are several to choose from for this kind of
bedroom. If you love deep colors for the fall, paint the walls teal, royal
blue, burgundy or an emerald green but if it's spring you can pair one of the
dark colors with white, mint green or peach. Eclectic rooms are colorful ones
so keep this in mind during the decorating process.
Get Global With Your Bedroom Design
Another way to add something eclectic to your bedroom is to
incorporate pieces from different countries into the bedroom. Purchase a
Moroccan style area rug and place it in front of the bed and you can also put
one or two pieces of traditional Asian art on your nightstand or dresser. A
bamboo vase filled with tree branches are also neat for a global themed
eclectic bedroom.
Paint Stripes on Your Bedroom Walls
This is another neat way to create an eclectic bedroom.
Start by painting your walls antique white or gray and once the paint dries
completely, paint colored stripes on the walls. Don't use a striped bedspread,
furniture or pilows because this makes the room look overly striped. You can
get an Art Deco style black or oak dresser to complement the striped walls.
Let The Furniture Go Unfurnished
In most eclectic bedrooms, not all of the furniture is
polished and highly decorative unlike other bedroom decorating styles and
instead you want to use unfurnished and distressed furniture that has a rustic
yet still modern look.
Conclusion
An eclectic bedroom is mainly about your own personal style
but without cluttering different designs in the room. Designing your bedroom
this way is fun and there are diverse themes you can use that borrow from
different decades. For example, you can combine the 60s bohemian look with a
few touches of Art Deco from the 1920s and 30s. Or you may blend Parisian
design with a little 21st century contemporary design.
