Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Tuscan Style Master Bedroom – Walls
   
   Tuscany master bedroom decorating starts with white walls. Whitewashing can be done on plaster or adobe walls. Otherwise, prime the wall to help any color from bleeding through, and paint the walls white.

2. Tuscan Style Decorating – Bed Frame
   
   Typical Tuscan bed frames are wrought iron with very few embellishments. Use the blackened iron or paint the head board and foot board white. Although wrought iron beds provide the simple Tuscan decorating style they are not essential. Another option is to have a wooden bedstead. A slated headboard is dark wood would suffice.
   
   Instead of a comforter shower the bed with a simple white cotton blanket. Also known as a matelasse, they are a staple to create the light and fresh feel of a Tuscan style master bedroom. If color is preferred use quilts with a floral design including colors such as deep burgundy, mid-tone blue or green, and golden yellow.

3. Tuscan Nightstand
   
   A bedside table can be made of dark wood or wrought iron. In either style the marble top should be used to keep with the Tuscany decorating style.

4. Decorate Tuscan Style – Window Treatments
   
   Simple and light are key for Tuscan master bedroom decorating. Traditional window treatment, for Tuscan decorating, uses white cotton floor to ceiling curtains. Lace, as detail at the bottom, along the edges, or throughout the curtains, can be used to provide personality to the window. Cotton window treatments are not only aesthetically pleasing, they protect the master bedroom from the brilliant sun. Use a decorative wrought iron curtain rod to add charm to the master bedroom.

5. Accessorize the Master Bedroom in the Tuscan Style
   
   There are so many choices of accessories to bring color to a Tuscan decorated master bedroom. Choose your accent pieces carefully since less is best. Some choices include:
   • Wrought iron wall sconces with accent colored candles.
   • Throw pillow with a floral print. Use several prints and textures to add color to the white bed linens.
   • Terra Cotta pots with small floral arrangements.
   • Sepia toned photos framed in wrought iron picture frames.
   • Wall tapestry depicting a window looking over the Tuscany landscape is an example of Tuscany wall décor.
   • Wrought iron wall hangings also represent the Tuscan wall décor.
   • Old world paintings in ornate frames.

6. Decorate Master Bedroom Tuscan Style – Flooring
   
   A wood floor, in a natural tone, will bring together all the Tuscan master bedroom decorating. Scatter a few cotton rugs where needed. If wood is not an option choose carpeting in neutral and natural shades. In either case the floor should not detract from the simplicity of the Tuscan decorated room.

on 7/27/2009 Don’t forget to pamper yourself with great linens for your Tuscany bedroom. I truly believe from experience that you really should put some thought and budget into your bed linens. Once you sleep on high thread count bed sheets you will never be able to go back. I have found the best source in line at www.elegantlinens.com. They carry several great lines including organic linens. No room is really complete with out great linens.
