Basic Bedroom Decorating Ideas
When you think of your bedroom is it a wonderful retreat or just a place to crash? If your bedroom is an accident waiting to happen or already a train wreck, take charge – it’s time to redecorate! A bedroom makeover is easy – because it’s really all about the bed, and with some new bedding, decorative pillow shams and perhaps a throw, you can create a beautiful bedroom in minutes. Unsure what a pillow sham even is? Relax – a pillow sham is a decorative cover that slips over a conventional bed pillow.
Decorative pillow shams come in standard and king sizes just like the pillows on your bed and are also available in the square European size; pillow shams are a great way to punctuate the bed with a dramatic color or print. You’ll see pillow shams in the finest hotels; can add visual interest to your bed with a mix and match of assorted pillows in colorful pillow shams.
For a really new point of view, consider investing in some bed lifts or bed elevators – they actually lift the bed a few inches off the floor to free up storage space underneath but they also add more drama in general. It used to be you could only get custom bed risers but now bed risers are readily available; bed risers are made of sturdy plastic or wood so you can rest easy – your bed won’t fall down on the job. With all that new space under the bed you can hide some of the clutter – that will make the bedroom much more inviting! Invest in a bedskirt to conceal all the stuff you’ll be stowing under the bed and to give a more finished look to the bed ensemble.
What’s a bed ensemble? A complete bed ensemble is a ready-made collection of all the fashionable elements required to create that magical bedroom. Bed ensembles typically consist of a comforter, shams and a bed skirt and each piece is designed to harmonize with the other. It’s easy to turn a crash pad into a relaxing oasis with just a few basic bedroom decorating ideas like these and it’s also easy to find pillow shams, bed ensembles and bed risers at Bed Bath & Beyond any time of the day or night.
