7 Bedroom Styling Tricks That Anyone Can Do
Scottsdale Real Estate We spend a great deal of
our time at home in the bedroom. Even when we
arent sleeping, were breakfasting in bed,
blogging, reading or just relaxing. But the
bedroom can be one of the last rooms we decorate
the main living areas often take up most of our
time and budget. Here are some simple styling
tricks to help you give your bedroom a
professional, polished and finished look in next
to no time at all.

• Aim for effortless. Bedroom styling should
  create a lived-in, relaxed vibe. Your bed is a
  great place to start. Dont worry about arranging
  the pillows and bedding perfectly. But to keep
  your bed from looking like a hot mess, keep one
  element of the bed linens straight and neat. A
  casually draped throw on a bed is for example,
  can be offset by the crisp lines of the quilt
  beneath it.
• No headboard? Add an art wall. Use the wall space
  above your bed to create a meaningful gallery
  wall. Instead of hanging one large artwork, try
  experimenting with a group of smaller pieces.
  Note where your head will rest when you are
  sitting up to read, and use this imaginary line
  as a guide for the bottom edge of your artwork.
• Create an end zone. A spot at the end of your
  bed, the end zone, as I call it, is great for
  sitting to get dressed and put your shoes on, for
  scattering some magazines on or laying out a tray
  for coffee or tea. Space permitting, all you have
  to do is move carefully chosen furniture to the
  end of your bed. You could try a chest, a bench
  seat, two stools, an upholstered ottoman with
  hidden storage or a chaise longue. It is
  reminiscent of the polished look so often seen in
  boutique hotel bedrooms.
•  Tip Have a purpose in mind for this area and
  keep it clutter-free.

4. Style the nightstand. A styled nightstand
makes your bedroom look complete. Keep only
essential items here, such as a lamp, clock and
book, and decorative details, like a dish, to
hold your jewelry or a memento. Keep this area
clean and dust-free, as you dont want to wake up
to a mess or breathe in allergens while you
sleep. Tip The interior style of your bedroom
should guide you in your choice of bedside items.
A coastal-inspired bedroom could have lush green
tropical leaves in a glass bottle on top of a
stack of books and a maritime-inspired clock, for
example. Boho bedrooms might feature a small
arrangement of brightly colored flowers and a
string of beads. Just dont be overly obvious in
your approach to themes 5. Choose oversized
artwork. This easy styling trick is perfect for
renters or decorators short on time. You dont
need to mount oversized art just lean the frame
against the wall. This has the bonus of adding to
the relaxed, effortless feel were going for in
this room. I like to work with over sized prints
and frames as theyre a little bit unexpected and
draw your attention.

• 6. Pick a color scheme. I cant stress enough how
  important this is. Anyone can choose a color
  scheme the trick is to find the inspiration for
  it in the right place, and then stick to it. This
  bedroom uses a contemporary twist on traditional
  blue and white style. Varying shades of blue give
  the bedroom depth, and a mix of contrasting
  textures creates interest. Cant find
  inspiration? Look to your existing wall color or
  standout features to guide you. You could, for
  instance, select two or three colors from an
  artwork and match these to your bedding, bedside
  table lamps, throw rugs or pillows. Another
  feature that could give your bedroom color cues
  is the wallpaper. Treat the paper as a work of
  art in itself, and use the pattern or color as
  inspiration and a style direction for the rest of
  your bedroom.If you love neutrals, remember to
  mix textures and vary shades so your bedroom
  doesnt feel stark or flat.
• 7. Work a feature wall. If you rent and you have
  a wall of color you are stuck with, fear not. Use
  the existing color as inspiration for the palette
  or theme of your bedding. In this striking
  bedroom, the soft aqua blues of the nightstand
  lamp and pillows stand out against the coral pink
  wall.  Tip Aim to create harmony and balance. If
  you have a strong, bold color, research what
  colors would work harmoniously with it. Look at a
  color wheel using colors that lie next to each
  other will have a calming effect, because those
  combinations are pleasing to the eye.

Feature walls can be oh so right when used
correctly- like a moody wall -especially in a
deep inky indigo or deep charcoal. The color can
help frame the bed area and looks great with wood
accents. Tip An inky blue-black wall is a great
solution for creating a gender-neutral bedroom or
a space that caters to both men and women. Add
interest and contrast through the bedding,
nightstands, lighting, artwork and headboard.
