Some people want to keep summer alive in their homes all year long, and one easy way to do it is to produce a bedroom themed for summer. Tropical decor calls for light-colored wood, even white. If you make your mind up to go tropical, then bright colors -- like yellow -- work nicely. Blues are always good, and a little green works, too. It's your choice: do you like bold, or is pastel your preference?. The nautical-themed room will do well with nautical accessories, of course, and the tropical room will do well with seaside elements such as shells and wicker. When choosing bedding and window treatments, keep your theme in mind. Anchors, shells, family-vacation pictures following the theme would be perfect. Finding just the right pattern is a bonus, but be careful to not overdo the themed pattern to where the room ends up looking messy or overdone. White on the walls makes the room sunny, and red and blue, plus more white in furnishings and accessories, complete the look. Check out fabrics and wallpaper books that have these colors to see how the colors combine and which color combinations work for you. Accessories for this themed room will be the most fun to search for. Start with the color of the room for the right atmospheric look. If a solid color is not enough for you and you don't find the perfect patterned fabric, consider a two-toned color, or for bedding, a reversible coverlet that shows both colors as a peak-a-boo on the edges or when the coverlet is folded down. If this is a guest bedroom, your guests will truly feel as if they are on vacation. |
