Light and Neutral
-
Light and neutral color combinations work with a variety of themes such as beach, country or modern styles. Pair neutral beige walls with light blue curtains, bedding and rugs to create a clean, basic look. Decorate with items that match your chosen theme. An ocean room can feature pictures of the sea and beach treasures such as seashells, sand-filled jars, starfish-shaped pillows and small ceramic or wooded boats. If you like a modern look, choose white modern-style furniture and light bedding adorned with square and circular-shaped pillows. Silk flower accents, small painted flowers on the walls and country quilts contribute to a cozy country room.
Cherry Blossom Room
-
Create a sophisticated cherry blossom bedroom. The look and feel of these little flowers paired with the dark rich color of cherry blossom tree bark calls for a soothing pink and brown color scheme. Add a cherry blossom mural or wallpaper for an accent wall and paint the other walls a very light pink. Adorn your bed with pink, brown and white bedding and place pink flower-shaped pillows on the bed. Antiques, silver-framed mirrors, dark cherry wood or white furniture would blend well in this room. Framed Japanese prints would add to the theme.

Vintage Bedroom
-
A vintage bedroom can appeal to many adults, especially those who love the look of a particular decade of the twentieth century. Paint the room a soothing light yellow, peach or beige and then decorate with vintage accents that fit the theme you want to create. For instance, if you love art deco, feature reproductions of '30s travel posters of airplanes, automobiles, ocean liners and luxurious resorts. Add streamlined furniture and incorporate abstract, geometric designs in your textiles. Or if you prefer the "contemporary," clean look of the '50s, look for light-wood furniture and accent with touches of aqua and light brown. There are many reproductions available of barkcloth textiles in the tropical or "atomic" designs that were so popular that you can use for drapery and pillows.
Romantic Bedroom
-
Embrace your deepest desires by creating a romantic bedroom for your and your mate. Paint the walls a light lavender or blue and decorate with soft, silky bedding, heart-shaped pillows and lacy curtains. Look for lush, floral prints to frame and feature a brass bed with a soft, flowing canopy. Accents such as gilded mirrors and vases filled with silk roses can also add more romance to the room. If you want a more dramatic effect, paint one accent wall plum or another rich, dark color in the violet-purple range.
