Decorating ideas for a bedroom should ideally include everything - right from the flooring and walls to the furniture and accessories. If the walls are not already been painted in black and white, we can let our imagination run wild by designing the wall color in a more intricate way. Use black bedroom furniture and white bedroom furniture to add more variety. You can have a black bed with black and white bedsheets, and zebra patterned blankets. Alternatively, you could have a pure black bedsheet with a white pillow-case. Polka dots in black and white look great too. You could also go for a pure white bed with a black headrest.
It is also very important to have the correct lampshades and lamp lighting. Ditch the bulbs. Go for CFLs. They'll look great with such a bedroom and conserve energy too! Lampshades will have to be white, no choices there. But the black lamp-stand will look pretty good with it. If you're a big fan of patterns, like me, you can go for spotted lamp-stands. Hanging lights on the side of your bed look good too. IMO, chandeliers might not look good in such a setting. For me, angular is the way to go. The lampshades must be small and angular.
Wardrobes! They occupy a large part of the room, so they better not look woody. I mean, you don't need SO much contrast, do you? You can get a black wardrobe with white doors or vice versa. Even as a big fan of pattern, I would say use them prudently. Vary between hard colors and patterns as much as you can.
Among other accessories, you may put a chic black TV or a home theater, depending upon the size of your bedroom and your redecoration budget. A small black bedside fridge is for the creme-de-la-creme of the budgets. I've seen rooms with potted plants, which although green, lend something special to the place. The crazier among us can also use the leafless plastic twigs. White curtains will look pretty good too. As will black dressers. Its best to keep the flooring white. For the ones who want to go for the no-holds-barred sexy look, throw in a splash of darkish-maroon, or even better, a darker shade of violet.
So don't just restrict yourself to the 'good-old-fashioned cream-n-beige with golden lights' bedroom decorating idea. Black and white bedrooms will add that bit of sophistication and uniqueness to your bedroom. For those who are not fans of the stark contrast provided by this idea, fear not, for there are many bedroom decorating ideas and this is but one of them.
A black and white bedroom combines restfulness with style to ensure that your bedroom is a personal and peaceful place. Simple yet charismatic, a black and white bedroom can be tailored to suit any personality, from the teenager keen to make their decorative mark, to the couple with disparate tastes.
A bedroom should be a peaceful place that helps you wind down at days end, a place conducive to restful sleep. While the contrast of black and white can be a dramatic one, these are colors that can also share a gentler interplay. White is the perfect backdrop in any bedroom, making confined spaces seem larger, and bestowing any room with a sense of calm unclutteredness. When used in isolation, white can however seem overly clinical, and so the careful use of black can create a contrast that adds a subtle spark to your white canvas.
Large blocks of black can feel a little overwhelming in a bedroom, and is most effectively used sporadically against your white surroundings. There is a saying that every room can use a touch of black, and the real elegance and style of a black and white bedroom is found in the ways the darker is used. Use the color carefully for the most dramatic effect.
Black is used perfectly in accessories, such as picture frames, light fixtures or trims, adding definition to your décor, drawing the eye and setting off certain pieces. Black and white artwork or photography adds a real sense of glamour to your room – choose one large piece, or group several smaller ones together, and frame them all in either black or white. For a real sense of luxury, try hanging your pictures against your white wall with a piece of black ribbon.
Selecting black furniture can create a grounding feeling in your bedroom; a black-framed bed can make a dramatic centerpiece. Iron is a sophisticated material that creates a truly elegant bedstead – and iron candlesticks, or an iron-framed mirror can be beautiful accenting pieces.
Choosing a theme for your black and white bedroom can add a personal hint to your space – choose the sultry feel of a Hollywood boudoir, or go for a more playful touch with polka dots or stripes. For children, black and white animals such as cute cats or cuddly Dalmatians can add a lively feel to a bedroom.
Black and white traditionally represent opposites, and uniting them creates a dramatic and sophisticated feel that can be tailored to your own needs by varying the amounts of either, and by the careful selection of accessories। Alone, either black or white can be harsh and impersonal, but in combination they find their real meaning. Use black and white to create the bedroom of your dreams.
