How to Style Your Bedroom New England Style
Think New England, think a traditional beach house. Bright and breezy, airy and sirene. Light sand, blue seas, white clouds - this is what immediately comes to mind
You can easily emulate this style in ypur bedroom. So much time is spent there and with the increasing stresses of everyday life, it is becoming more importnat that you have a place of your own to come to, a relaxing environment where you can switch off and drift away.
Beach combing, child hood days at the beach running through the water, splashing as the wave sweep over. This is what a New England Styled bedroom is about.
A perfect base to start is simple white bedroom furniture, a wardrobe, chest of drawers and bedside table for functionality. Crisp white bedrooms are arresting in their purity and simplicity, but some may prefer a warmer look. Add layers of other coastal colours to project extra warmth. Beige simulates the sand dunes while varying shades of blues and greys calls to mind the essence of the ocean and the sky.
Add some artificial faux greenery or flowers for height in the bedroom and for an interesting centre piece while cushions and pillows add texture and cosiness.
Layering is the key to designing your bedroom in New England style, layer throws and pillos on the bed, group pieces of differing heights on the tables along with lamps for subdued lighting to ensure you do not have the overall finishing look of a flat bedroom.
...and remember to have fun and to supplement the design with items that bring out your own character to make it unique to you
