Interior Design Tips
for a Shared Bedroom
The word "master" is an antiquated term that suggests
control, domination, and inequality, and in today's
cooperative partner and/or single parent household, the
label "master suite" has become obsolete. Master
bedrooms would more properly be called "main bedrooms"
in today's society.
Far removed from the activities of gathering spaces
like family rooms and busy kitchens, the bedroom is the
place where your day begins and ends. Surprisingly,
however, main bedroom redecorating frequently ranks near
the bottom of most people's home renovation lists. But
if you want an immediate uplift of your emotional state,
there are few projects that will do that more
effectively than remodeling your main bedroom.
Remodeling Your Main Bedroom for Sensuousness
The main bedroom, with its softened textures, serene
artwork, and muted patterns, intimately captures the
warmth of a home. Passion colors, such as red, purple,
royal blue, rose, or the gilt of gold, add drama and
indulgence. Plan your main bedroom design with private
times in mind, beginning with the purpose of the
bedroom.
Passion Boudoir
French women are known to create the sexiest bedrooms
in the world, and like many French women, today's
homemakers often plan for sex and decorate accordingly,
creating evocative, enticing bedrooms. Here are a few
suggestions for creating a Passion Boudoir:
Flattering colors contribute to
personal beauty and are erotically appealing. Choose
seductive colors like Rouge Red, Lipstick Reds, Creamy
Peaches, and Subtle Pinks. Make sure the colors enhance
your natural beauty. Be daring and use bold colors on
the walls. Environmental Psychology colors mimic Mother
Earth's colors.
Luscious fabrics will set the stage for
sensuousness. Use silky, velvet, and chenille textures
in combination with nubby textures. Use fabrics that
remind you of a favorite shared memory. Exotic patterns,
such as animal prints or tropical florals, conjure
images of faraway journeys. Friendly Environmental
Psychology fabrics include natural fibers.
Locating mirrors in unusual places, such as the tops
of dressers or side tables, reflect dancing candle
light. Tropical plants and trees, uplit with special
lights, also cast exciting shadows. Environmental
Psychology tips: use real plants and beeswax candles.
An intimate bistro table, set with two chairs,
invites private conversations. Dressing tables,
furnished with feminine accessories and intimate
objects, add mystery and romance to a room.
Just the presence of a bed tray suggests the
possibility of the ultimate pleasure: breakfast in bed,
while soft lighting, candles, essential oils in a
diffuser, and gentle oscillating fans effectively
complete the décor in a Passion Boudoir. Environmental
Psychology tip: use only natural essential oils.
