Is Decorating in White…too White?
How to create an “Inspired” bedroom
Ideas on how to Changing it up a bit
Maximize the use of textiles
An inspired bedroom is the use of sumptuous fabrics, from the cornice and headboard to bedding and curtains. Not only are you incorporating an interesting mix of patterns, but also being mindful of fabric textures. Think woven damask, crisp percale sheeting, and luxe velvet tape to define drapes and cornice boards. All of these elements create a cohesive look that embodies the grandeur and opulence of the Regencycore trend which embraces a mixture of patterns, pastels, florals and perhaps even damask printed wallcoverings. Your all one color white need not be boring!
A canopy, a must!
The pièce de résistance to this entire look is the use of a canopy bed. “The canopy itself is a frivolity, as it serves no real purpose which is the essence of its magic,” “It evokes sleeping like royalty and being surrounded by the beauty of the textiles is a sensual experience.” (This can easily be added behind or above your current style).
Mix up your patterns
The key to pulling off this trend is playing with the patterns to incorporate an interesting but cohesive variety. “When you throw in a mix of textiles, adding a floral pattern as the main color scheme, a small print in a bolster and bench, and a stripe behind a headboard, you create calming drama,” The magic formula? “Floral + stripe + modern print. Works every time!”
Utilize the right hues
The Regency era went all in on deep, gem-toned hues that signaled an air of royalty. Today, designers are gravitating toward more modern colors. Opt for a muted color palette that takes its cues from nature, contrasting various shades of blue with golden mustard and tans.
Invest in bespoke bedding
Creating this aesthetic is a custom look and you’re not necessarily going to find all the elements you need to execute it on the shelves of stores, especially when it comes to specific prints. This is fine. Here's your chance to be creative! Bespoke bedding is your move here, and enlisting an interior designer for the project can ease many headaches as they have access to patterns and artisans that the layman may not.
Modernize the look
You don’t want to stay too true to historical context here or your room could end up feeling stuffy, or worse, dated right out of the gate. Inspired bedroom utilize more updated floral patterns and block prints that aren’t as hyper-romantic and precious as the nosegay prints popular during Regency period. Today, you’ll find more large-scale patterns that incorporate more foliage into the floral print.
