Color schemes
A very important point is the choice of wallpaper for a bedroom with dark furniture. Of course, universal solutions in this case do not exist, but there are good advice from experienced designers.
For example, if you are planning to purchase dark blue or brown wallpaper in a bedroom with dark furniture, then it will turn out gloomy and depressing. In this case, you can forget about a calm and full sleep. However, this does not mean that emerald, purple or wenge-colored wallpapers cannot be present in your bedchamber. It is important only to observe the proportions, for example, to design special zones with them or to use them as an element of decor in the overall picture. This will be a very bold and original design decision.
Wallpaper of bright or rich color should also not dominate in the bedroom, where the furniture is in dark colors. In tandem with classic furniture, the effect of variegation and unnaturalness can turn out, so you must again resort to the system of combination and allocation of zones.
As for the rest of the interior details, such as skirting boards, doors and windows, the design of the room with dark furniture will be logical, if you use the following combinations:
- yellow, golden or orange shades;
- shades of cream palette;
- white color and all its varieties.
Ideally, in the bedroom you need to choose wallpaper in bright colors, against which dark furniture will look more than advantageous.
When buying curtains or curtains for the room where the dark furniture is located, opt for fabrics of a neutral shade. It is recommended to combine curtains in color not only with furniture, but also with elements of textile and lighting. The general rule of design decisions: the curtains you choose should be one tone lighter than the walls, and lighter than the furniture. Even if there are no curtains, but blinds in your bedroom, the rule of principle is the same: they should be lighter than the furniture purchased.
It is recommended to choose a natural, airy fabric for curtains, but for curtains it is worth considering the option of a dense material in order to protect the bedroom from excessive sunlight. Synthetic curtains will become a real "dust bag", so it is better not to buy them.
Lighting
If your bedroom turned out to be slightly gloomy, then correctly selected lighting can correct the situation. But First, lighten the “workload” of the curtains, make them more airy, allowing sunlight to penetrate the entire room. The next step is to choose a ceiling chandelier with several lamps. The design of lamps, chandeliers and sconces depends on the overall design of the room.
If the bedroom with dark furniture is decorated in a classic style, you need to purchase a crystal, sometimes even pompous chandelier. But with a more modern design, it is better to stay on ceiling chandeliers. When the chandelier is not enough for lighting, you will have to install additional ceiling lights.
But if there are several windows in the bedroom, you can restrict yourself to spotlights on the ceiling. This is very convenient if the room has suspended ceilings. Such lighting will create a special emphasis on the overall dark background.
Designers recommend in some cases to use diode tapes, which are built into special niches. If placed under the bed, the impression will be amazing.
