Modern Bedrooms

If you want a sleek look in the bedroom, then you might want to try to incorporate a modern bedroom decorating idea that you have seen in a magazine or on TV. Successfully replicating these ideas for yourself can be difficult when your desired subject model differs from the example subject model in critical areas such as room shape and layout of natural lighting. But, if you observe the following basic elements of modern design, you can obtain a nicely designed bedroom.

Color

One way to create a trendy bedroom look is to concentrate on different shades of one major color--shades of brown, for example, or different hues of purple. A range of browns or even white are typical colors today. Using a bold color such as red or yellow among an otherwise black & white room is a palette that lasts a lifetime. Dark chocolate colored browns are popular colors for modern decor today. The best thing about this color palate is that they not only provide a warm tone, but they also go well with most modern day furniture pieces.

Pattern

If modern decor is your choice for the bedroom, be sure to select simpler rugs and fabrics instead of fancier old-fashioned ones. Liven up basic solids by mixing them with different textures. Modern designs work well with geometric patterns that incorporate squares, circles-even amoeba shapes.

Furniture

Your modern style room should have furniture with clean, simple lines. This decor is usually enhanced by the use of dark wood. Avoid curved lines, such as those found on a sleigh bed to improve your overall appearance. Overly fancy and intricate designs are not always better, so keep it simple and clean. Keep hardware minimal in a simple brushed metal.

Accessories

A simple, clean modern bedroom doesn't go overboard with accessories. When looking for the perfect finishing touch, experiment with long-lined glass vases and single flowers. Choose a few eye catching accents but don't over do it or your room will look cluttered. Stick with simple elements, such as geometric designs; avoid anything ornate, like fringe or ruffles. For an original touch, consider commissioning a new piece of modern artwork, if your budget allows. That way, you'll be able to coordinate your new purchase with your new decorating scheme.
