6 Decorating Ideas Tell Beautiful Bedtime Stories

"Hit the hay. Lights out. Catch some z's" The most important action of the day deserves a soothing and calming spot.  Here are 6 decorating ideas to beautify the bedrooms in a home.

Let there be light! Attractive lamps in white wash, clear glass or even ocean inspired accents can be a great way to create a calming effect when decorating a bedroom.  Natural fiber, translucent or silk shades make for a clean, simple look and use soft white light bulbs.

Bedside Manner! Tasteful and pretty nightstands on each side of the bed balance a room and don't worry if they are not matching.  Try to stay consistent in the style and heights.  Nightstands with drawers are perfect for extra storage for necessities.

Sleeping Beauty!  The bed is the focal point or star of the room.  White or neutral sheets and soft pastel color printed duvet covers are ideal.  Mix and match prints to be daring but keep a common color theme.  In warmer months, coverlets are ideal since they are lightweight and easy to change out.

Meaning of Color!  A popular color choice for the bedroom is blue in any tone.  Who knew the color of blue has been proven to reduce stress.  Perfect for a good night's sleep! Choose a soothing shade and coordinate it with wallpaper.  Yep, wallpaper is becoming a hot new decorating trend!

Goodnight! Find a bed that is comfy yet stylish.  It can be a traditional poster bed, canopy for privacy or a classic padded headboard which is perfect for late-night readers.

End Cap! Rescue the foot of the bed when adding the final decorating touches to a bedroom.  This is also prime real estate in a room.  A bench, set of chairs or a classic pair of x-benches allow for extra seating and a place to unwind. Zzzzz...
