10 Polished Looks for a Bedroom Makeover
1. Refined feminine. Crisp
black and white stripes paired with soft misty blue create a chic,
elegant look that is easy to love. Keep accessories pared down and
simple, with favorite bags and jewelry on display and a few simply
framed art prints on the wall. Bring in delicious texture with a cuddly
mohair throw and smooth sateen sheets.

2. Dapper gent. As
polished and tailored as a bespoke suit, this look is based around
handsome materials like wool, wood and leather, and traditional menswear
patterns like a windowpane check and plaids. Furniture with clean lines
and neatly tucked bedding keep things looking fresh and modern, while a
monogrammed accent injects a bit of personality.

3. Old-world comfort. Plump
cushions and deep bedcovers are pure luxury. The patina of age on a
mirror paired with full-length drapes and a personal collection of
antiques call to mind venerable old European hotels. Silvery gray-blue
paint, plush wall-to-wall carpeting and creamy bedding are a serene
match for this look.

8. Warm modern. Keep a
clean, minimalist look from being too cold with a stroke of fiery red or
orange. Here, a wide striped bedcover echoes the color in an oversize
painting. If a painting of this magnitude is beyond your current budget,
consider stretching a length of bold fabric on stretchers meant for
canvas (find them in art stores). Choose a simple platform-style bed and
slim task lamps, then fill out the room with a healthy potted plant and
a vase of flowers.
