When it comes to decorating bedrooms, it used to be that it was the childrens' room that had all the choices. But that was before all the different types of decorative sheets and blankets became available for all ages, and bed sizes. Today people are spending just as much time and attention in decorating their bedrooms as they are when decorating the living room or other areas of the home. And, with so many themes to now choose form, beach theme bedding is one of the top selections.
Beach bedding offers a large variety of designs, symbols, and colors all connected to a tropical theme. There are cool colors, bright colors, soft colors, and bold combinations. The large selection comes in a variety of styles such as ocean waves, cool beaches, tropical havens, and shells on them.
To get yourself started, choosing the colors you want to work with can give you an idea of what works best where. Soft colors that match a tropical sunset are popular, as well as the bold colors like turquoise, blue, green, coral, and yellow to represent the heat. The best thing about the colors is that there is no rule to say you can't combine the bold and soft for the right look.
To get the effect you are looking for, the walls and floors will also need attention. One way to do this is painting the walls a soft shade of brown or even a bronze, which works well with wooden floors. Hanging curtains that are light and flowing in a white or off white color. Displaying simple pieces of art on the walls will add to, rather than take away the bedding, which can be the centerpiece of the room.
Muted walls accented with bold colored accessories bring the color out without being too overwhelming. Or you can use bold colored walls with natural and neutral colored accessories. Bold and natural color combinations are what the tropics are all about, their natural beauty. Even a few throw rugs that are full of color will add a fun atmosphere.
Accessories are important to pull the room together and to keep your bedroom unique, it would be best to steer clear of the popular novelty items. You'll want your own creativity and personality to shine through with the little touches you add to the room. A lamp with a tropical feelings and sea shells scattered here and there can do that. A woven basket done in bright colors with a beach towel, umbrella, and other items in a corner is a colorful, yet low key decorative item.
The window treatment of the room can add or take away from the theme you are going for. Whites and light colors work well, but so do lightweight materials. If going for prints, walls should be muted, otherwise it can be too overpowering. Consider some plantation shutters or wooden blinds for a true tropical touch.
