Modernize a Bedroom

When you decide to modernize a bedroom it entails cutting out chaotic patterns and overuse of bright colors. A modern look is a simple and clean look that can bring a sense of peace to any room.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Paint your walls using a neutral color of your choice. Some common paint colors you could look at that will help modernize a bedroom are: cream, beige, white, brown, sage or avocado green.
Step 2

Decorate with furniture that has clean straight lines and a dark solid finish or coverings to help modernize the bedroom. If you use furnishings that have arcs and curves or high patterned designs you will lose that modern feel.
Step 3

Keep it simple by eliminating all that extra furniture to further help modernize the bedroom. Break it down to the basics: bed, dresser and a side table or two.
Step 4

Accentuate your modern bedroom by adding bolder colors to only certain aspects in the room such as pictures -for a modernized look use pictures that compliment your wall and furniture colors but have just a splash of bold color, rugs, decorations and pillows. But be sure not to overdo the addition of color by adding too many or too much color to the bedroom. Solid pillows and rugs or those with clean straight or simple designs with limited colors will help you modernize your room without overdoing it.
Step 5

Keep your comforter and sheet colors neutral to compliment your walls. You can also do bedding in your bolder color of choice but that can sometimes give the room too much color. If you still opt to do bright bedding try to keep the sheets neutral and viewable to help break up some of the "color pop" in the room.
Step 6

Add soft natural or ambient lighting to help accentuate and modernize the bedroom. Eliminate any bright lighting and extravagant light fixtures. Consider using lamps with neutral colored shades and softer lighting.
