Modern Bedroom Interior Design

The bedroom was conceived as the private space per se, an scenario where to illustrate the intimacy moments of some characters, opposite to other public spaces (church, market, theatre) and –one of the most interesting ones- intermediary spaces, such as balconies, standing in-between exterior and interior (one of the most memorable balconies may be the Shakespearean one from Romeo and Juliet, but we must not forget the importance of this intermediary space for politic figures, such as Eva Duarte, mostly known as Eva Peron).

The representation of women bedrooms would also include the description of objects (completely understandable when we look at some of Realism and Naturalism’s characteristics): rugs, combs, jewelry boxes, sheets, perfumes, etc; all tending to condensate meanings, mostly, eroticism and intimacy.

Designing the bedroom is the perfect opportunity not only to involve you couple but also to experiment and brake some rules if you please to, remembering that this is your private and intimate space were showing respectability to guests is not one of the things that you have to keep in mind, as it is in living or dining rooms.

• Colors: To create that heterogenic look, the best method is to create that mixture throughout color choices and combinations. Choosing only one color will result in a simplified and uninteresting bedroom. Black and Grey will provide a more masculine countenance and is appropriate for its associations with night time. Some White and Red can also be used but not in excess: too much White will make it look to pure, to much of a daytime room; too much Red, will simply hurt your eyes. Whichever color you choose, it will be for the best if taken to a darker tone.

• Mirrors: For those who want to put special emphasis in eroticism, having one on the ceiling, right above the bed is the classic option. For those that wish to be more subtle, a mirror at either side of the bed, will do. Keep functionality always in mind: a tall rectangular mirror will be useful when trying clothes out.
• Lighting: Since it is neither a bathroom nor kitchen, excess of light will not be the most adequate choice. Classic night table lamps may sometimes be annoying when you need the space on the table top; if that is the case, wall lamps are a way out. Candles and chandeliers are a must-have: not only they will create a romantic and peaceful atmosphere but, when chosen correctly, they will also serve as ornaments.
