If you are going to redecorate a bedroom, you will first have to think of a style that you like. This will allow you to make sure that everything fits together, and also that it doesn’t look like everyone else’s bedroom.

Many people like to go for a tropical design, which allows them to imagine deserted islands with palm trees and the warm sun. To achieve this, you’ll want to base your room on pale blues and greens, and add highlights with cream and white. Accessorize with tropical items like a wicker chair and perhaps a woven rug to feel like you’re on vacation again.

If you want a romantic design, go for very deep and full reds and purples, as well as blues and golds. If you want this to lean a bit towards the Italian style, then also think about texture, using things like mosaic tiles and stucco to give the room depth. All the linen should be silky, to complete the romantic feeling.

If you want it to have an Asian theme, then the main colors you’ll want to use are black and white, as Asian-themed rooms thrive on simplicity. For furniture you’ll want to use hardwood, which has a tight grain, or black leather, and for color in the room you’ll want to use dark, or sometimes gold colored cushions and pillows, and then finish the room with an Asian-themed fountain and candles.

Although these other styles appeal to some people, others may like the elegant look of wood, filled with pine and natural products. If you go for this, you’ll probably find you’re bound with a cool patchwork quilt.

Don’t go into a certain layout because someone said you should. This is your room and you need to feel comfortable in it, so do what you want with it.
