Female: Once gets some fabric selection tips from Interior designer Robin Strangis.
Robin Strangis: There are number of choices you will need to make, one beginning a
decorating project for your bedroom. First of all you will need to think
about how you want the room to look. What is the big picture and what is
the color pallet. And I find that’s really useful to look through decorating
magazine like this and you will pictures of bedrooms to inspire you and
you can tear them out and it them into an idea file of your own and that
way you might start to see a pattern forming, maybe it’s colors are
attracted too or maybe it certain patterns on the fabric. Perhaps you’re
working with certain things in the room that you have to keep like the
carpeting or maybe it’s a window treatment or maybe you starting fresh.
But you need something to inspire you, for example for this bedroom we
found this are rug. And this is basically a two colors scheme, it’s blue and
green where the neutral added and the blue an green are found side by side
each other on the color we add so it’s a really great color scheme that
guaranteed to work. And here you see the blue and green side by side and
this is known as analogous color scheme.
Now, for this next example, we have a girls bedroom and this little girl
wanted the pick bedroom that all began with the sheets. Now, for all color
here we could do pink walls, we could do cream walls or we could even
do the green walls. With the green and the purple something like this and
yellow is the complement of purple if you look at your color wheel,
yellow and purple are complimentary colors and that’s why work so well
together. Here is a bedroom where we first found the bed spread then
created the headboard to go with it. For a many different ways to enhance
the look of your bedroom, one way is to add decorative trim to ready made
pillows. These gives the room a really costume look, create your own
artwork by using cut outs from your fabrics or wallpaper like we did here
this suppose it done from the shower curtain and we put it in a curly
picture frame and added the pink border. They could also be applied to the
walls in random patterns.
This room is an example of using four different patterns and using ready
made sheets to a poster to headboard and to cover the table. These are just
a few quick and easy tips to help you enhance the look of your bedroom
by adding decorative elements.
