antique bedroom decor
You’re tired of your old bedroom style and looking for ways to spice up the look of your sanctuary. One of the most popular design themes today is Chinese antiques. The look of old wood, intricate carvings, lush colors, and rich gems can make for a luxurious bedroom decor.
Depending on your budget, you can choose reproduction antiques (newly made items that are created to look like antiques) or the real deal. Real Chinese antiques will boost your budget, but if you have the money, at least buy some real antiques. Pick one or two main focal points and go from there. For example, you could buy an antique armoire or dresser, and depending on its style and color, you could add reproduction pieces to the room to complete the look.
An old trunk could be at the foot of your bed. An antique dresser or reproduction dresser would make a nice addition to a corner of your bedroom. A small square Tibetan table or two could act as bedside tables or end tables. Add some Buddhist statues and artwork to add some finishing touches to the antique look of your bedroom.
Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese system of aesthetics for aligning Heaven and Earth to receive qi, or positive energy, into your home. Feng shui decoration in your bedroom is a very good idea because it is believed to provide the right kind of energy needed in all areas of your life, and in the bedroom it can be aligned to provide healing and calming energy. Feng shui can be easily incorporated into your old style bedroom. Feng shui suggests that the best color to paint bedroom walls is “skin colors,” which range from pale pink to chocolate brown. Arrange your bed so that it’s accessible from either side, and make sure you have two antique nightstands on each side. In feng shui, it is best not to align the bed directly with the door.
Whether you decide to go with a Feng Shui themed bedroom or just an ancient Chinese style bedroom, following the tips above will get you in the right direction for the style you’re looking for, and before you know it, you’ll have a fantastic new style in your bedroom.
