Decorate With A Bed Positioned In The Corner

Postion your bed in the corner for a visually interesting look.


Rearranging furniture or grouping pieces in unusual ways can add interest to a room. Position your bed in the corner for visual appeal. Although this arrangement takes up more space, it creates a cozier feel with different angles and possibilities. Use the angles and space around the bed to decorate your bedroom in a manner that's pleasing to you. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Paint the walls with a color that sets the mood for the entire room. Avoid using a second paint color on either of the connecting walls the bed is situated against, as this will cause an unbalanced look. Choose a color that complements your bedroom but doesn't compete with the bed, as that should be the focus on the room.


2. Arrange your bedroom furniture around the room so it doesn't close the bed in, making the room feel claustrophobic. Smaller nightstands, such as triangular, round or semicircle-shaped tables that can fit on either side of the bed are best. Consider a chest of drawers or armoire instead of a wide dresser, as the room will look cluttered if you have too much furniture against the walls.


3. Hang wall decor on either side of the bed or two related pieces that connect at the corner behind the bed. Your wall decor should be interesting and complete the room but not distract attention from the bed, which should serve as the room's focal point.


4. Use decorative accessories to decorate the corner behind the bed. Set up a shoji screen, a silk tree with lights or hang fabric. Hang a decorative chandelier over the bed if it complements your decor. Thin runners on either side of the bed can create the illusion of a larger room.
