How To Decorate Your Bedroom With A Botanical Theme
Have you have decided to decorate your bedroom with a botanical theme? If so, you are in for some fun shopping as you look for things that represent plants and other things found in the world of nature. Here are some ideas that may inspire you to create an attractive and unique bedroom.
The Walls - Wallpaper with pineapples, ferns, and birds would be a really good choice for a botanical bedroom. Another idea is to select wallpaper created from grasses, or faux grass wallpaper. If you want to paint your walls, consider using ochre, light green, blue or yellow which represent colors which are found in nature. To give painted walls more pizzaz, stencil botanical designs over doors and windows, or use the stencil design as a border.
The Floor - Hardwood floors would lend themselves well to your botanical design. If you choose hardwood, the addition of area rugs that have birds, butterflies, or dragonflies in their design would look great. Hardwood floors might cost more than carpet, but they will last for a very long time. To clean them, use a dust mop or a slightly damp mop. When additional care is needed, use products that are made especially for wood.
The Windows - A great look in a botanical bedroom would be to select fabric curtains with a botanical design. Another good choice if you're going with fabric is to select a solid color that goes well with the rest of the room decor and tie the curtains back with brass pineapple hardware. For years of service, wooden shutters or plantation blinds would be perfect, and they would go great in a botanical room. Wooden shutters are not expensive and they're so easy to install that you can do the job yourself.
The Decor - White wicker furniture would be stunning in your botanical bedroom. A canopy bed with leaf designs in the wood is another good choice. Even though you can find matching pieces for the wooden bed, think about mixing styles. For example, the canopy bed with white wicker bedside tables would look great together. Adding a steam trunk at the foot of the bed would be the frosting on the cake.
As you look for things like pineapple lamps and framed plant and bird pictures, don't forget to shop at resale shops and at antique stores. By doing so, you will probably find one-of-a-kind botanical home decor that will add to the charm of your bedroom. For assistance, talk to a professional like Sav-Mor Upholstery.
