Nautical Bedding Collections For An Ocean Theme Bedroom

Nautical Bedding Collections For An Ocean Theme Bedroom

Nautical themed bedding is a wise choice for anyone who wants to create an ocean theme or design in their bedroom. Decorating a bedroom with the blues of the tropical ocean can recreate the same feelings experienced on a trip or vacation. Beach themed, white rattan furnishings often finish the “look”. Since bedding and window treatments are commonly the focal point of the room, selecting them is very important.

Nautical themes offer fresh and crisp options. Seacoast motifs and waves stitched into sea-like colors and patterns make for a soothing retreat-like setting. Tropical and beach images on sheets, comforters, duvets, throws and pillows generate a tranquil atmosphere. Sheets and bedding can help the imagination sail into the sea of sleep. A well-deserved nap or merely a relaxing moment to escape from reality would come more easily.

When accented with pieces suggestive of travel around the world, bedrooms and guest rooms take on an exotic essence. Sea-shell and sea-foam colors lend a refreshing feel. A room can attain a refreshing atmosphere with the addition of sea-shell and sea-foam hues. Only a few alterations can create the feel of a vacation in an island paradise. The latest technological advances allow for photos to be printed on material; so, printing photos of vacations by the sea on bedding makes a unique and distinctive collage that would be interesting as well as comforting.

Quilts sewn together with patches of beach-signs and coastal patterns, lifeguard stands, shells and coral are stunning. Stripes and surfing motifs bring focus to a room reminiscent of leisurely times at the waters’ edge. Some subtle suggestions of seacoast trips will assist in achieving the relaxing motif you are looking for.

Nautical style bedding brings blues and soft pastels to the room that will help you to create an island oasis in any home. A set of new sheets, a duvet, and pillow shams with a sea coast theme can take the imagination to sunny islands, tropical breezes, and the lush vegetation that is found in the tropics. The allure of sand dunes, palm trees and shimmering waves can be printed on the bedding.

Bedrooms for children can be styled with nautical items to create a play time at the ocean where imaginations soar off to faraway lands in fanciful pirate ships and deep sea treasure hunts. Materials which display a star motif, striped sheets, or wave and anchor prints provide seaworthy backgrounds for an adventuring youngster on the imaginary ocean. Comfortable sleeping areas by night can evolve into exciting play areas by day when patchwork quilts and duvet covers are made from material depicting sailing boats, pirate ships and treasure chests.

Pillows, pillow-cases and pillow shams resembling items used at sea can turn into exciting play toys. Nautical tools used by play pirates might consist of compass-shaped stuffed material with pointers that actually spin, soft steering wheels sewn onto a bedspread and pirate hat shaped cushions. A variety of other stuffed toy items such as fuzzy yellow ducks, big whales and wave-like shapes doubling as headrests make for fanciful voyages to the pretend seas.

A Duvet Cover Allows One to keep the Same Look in a Bedroom in Winter and in Summer

A Duvet Cover Allows One to keep the Same Look in a Bedroom in Winter and in Summer

What is a duvet cover?  To answer this question, one must first know what a duvet is.  A duvet is a French term for a down comforter, which is a bed cover insulated with good feather or eider, wool or other natural fills to create a warm bed covering as an alternative to bedspread or quilts.

In the United States, many people say “duvet” when referring to a duvet cover; whereas, in Europe and in Canada, most people refer to a down comforter as a duvet. Duvets are like comforters, except that they have duvet covers which are replaceable and washable, much like large pillowcases.

No matter what people call them, nothing matches the experience of sleeping under a quality down comforter or duvet.

Much like a pillow case on a pillow, a duvet cover is the protective and often a decorative cover that slips over the down comforter or duvet. Duvets are usually not washable, so duvet comforter covers or comforter duvet cover, are useful for they can be laundered along with other bed linens, keeping the duvet or down comforter fresh and clean always.

Luxury duvet covers are changeable and often reversible, with coordinating patterns and colors.  With duvet cover bedding, one can change the look of the room without having to completely redecorate.  Sometimes it is part of the bed ensemble along with sheet sets, shams, pillowcases and bedskirts.

What is advantageous, convenient and fascinating with a bed duvet cover is that it allows you to keep the same look in your bedroom in winter and in summer.  When it gets cold, you simply change a lighter weight duvet for a heavier one and when the weather gets warm, you can insert inside the lighter one.  However, if you want to have a constant change in the look of your room, you can have one duvet and multiple duvet cover sets with different patterns, colors and textures.

Duvet covers come in different styles, designs, patterns and fabrics as down comforters. Of course you can buy duvet covers online.  If you want a complete look in your bedroom, you can find duvet covers online with matching curtains and throw pillows. Discount duvet covers are also available on online sales.

Teen?s Bedroom Wall Decor – Chill and Hang Out

Teen?s Bedroom Wall Decor – Chill and Hang Out

Tucked away behind pine trees and bushes and shrubs on a cul-de-sac in suburbia of Chicago is my home. The lawns are scalloped and there is a prestige walkway to my front door of my two stories colonial. From the outside you would never suspect the turmoil inside. You see I work full time and also take work home with me so there never seems to be enough time in the day to accomplish a thing. I also have two teenagers so enough said. With my nerves on end recently I had made up my mind not to enter either of their rooms. I had thought to myself they are old enough to be responsible and take care of their own surroundings. Until this time the cleaning and tidying up had fallen on my shoulders. This big idea of mine that they would want to help out had accrued to me about a month before.

Saturday morning arrived and there were activities I needed to get my kids to. They both were still asleep so I first entered my son’s room. I should say just barley entered. His bedroom door would only open an inch. I tried to push my way through as I toppled to the floor. There were clothes, books, dirty dishes amongst other things all over the room that I could not even tell what they were. I woke him up and could feel my blood boiling. Next I went to wake up my daughter and deep inside me I new I would find her room in shambles as well. Needless to say they both did not go to their scheduled activities that day.

They both worked for hours on their rooms but when they were finished they came to me and proclaimed that their rooms left much to be desired. Both rooms had been designed by me when they were younger and they did not feel it expressed who they were. They went on to tell me that their needs and stuff they had acquired over the years had far out grown their rooms. It lacked organization and a place that represented who they were. I listened to them and together we all came up with creative ideas.

This article hopefully will help other families go in the right direction. It should give you the tools and ideas to help make your lives a little more organized and serene. I will begin by laying out the road map that my own family took to reach the goals we set for ourselves.

The most important thing when decorating a teens bedroom walls is to allow the teens input so that the room is a reflection of who they are. Teens live stressful lives just like the rest of us so they need a place to retreat and feel comfortable in. They are still searching for who they are and designing their own bedroom walls provides them an outlet to express themselves creatively.

Teen wall decor decisions will vary depending on the teen in question. There are a number of different ideas for you to explore which will hopefully produce for your teen a room they can enjoy and a look that the parent approves of. Be sure to take in the size of the room, your budget and the practicality of the style. You also need to consider what end of the teenage scale your child is on. Teens taste and sense of self will change considerably between thirteen and eighteen. So be sure to tread lightly with fads and trends that are likely to go out of style. After all you do not want to take on this task again next year.

What we did is we all sat down together with pens and paper. I then asked this question. What are you crazy about and what really gets you excited? I then proceeded to ask them about their hobbies, sports, and a location they love to visit or a topic they want to learn more about. I had them write all these things down. This is the list of ideas they came up with: Dolphins, Birds, Abstract, Flowers, Sports, Space, Fashion, Animals, Music, Numbers, Moon and Sky. I recommended that they choose one idea from the list and making this interest the centerpiece of their room.

We first looked at lots of pictures from books and magazines and spent hours on line at different decorating web sites. We also watched a couple of home decorating shows on television and went to a design center and talked with others to get some ideas. The first thing to realize is not to rush. Take your time since this will be the room that you chill and hang out in.

My daughter decided on fashion as her bedroom theme while my son choice was sports in particular football with the main theme being the Bears. We then gathered in our car and took a drive to the paint store. We browsed through many selections of different colored paint chips until the ones caught their eyes and attention. My daughter picked candy apple green while my son stuck with the Bears colors of navy and orange. All of these being popular colors according to the many hours of research we had tackled.

For one of their walls for each of their rooms we bought a paint that had a faux texture designed that seemed to shimmer and shine. They decided they would keep this wall bare so they could keep adding additional items such as posters from a movie or concert that had seen. In this way they always had space so they had room to grow and develop.

My son had found on line a beautiful hand woven wall tapestry of Soldier Field where the Bears make their home and play their games when in Chicago. He made this the focal point of the room and placed framed artwork of Bears Players all around it. He also hung pennants and his prime passion of an autograph jersey that his favorite player had signed. He is also handy with wood and built shelves along one entire wall. Then with wall paper borders of pictures of footballs went along the edges of the shelves. He was able to use these selves to display his trophies and had space left over for his entertainment system.

Meanwhile fashion was the main theme for my daughter’s room. She had also spent hours on line in search of her perfect design. Like most girls she loves to go shopping and purchase as many shoes and purses imaginable. So I was not at all surprised when I saw her selection for the focal point for her room. It was wall art made up of whimsical purses. It was defiantly cool, hip and certainly prissy. The purses came designed with stripes and swirls of polka dots and matched her candy apple green walls. They had white ribbon and are embellished by a metal snap closure and silver balled feet. This design is definitely unique and personal.

There are three inch letters attached and painted with matching silver. She named her space by hanging each letter of her name over her bed. On the wall opposite the windows she purchased a silver frameless mirror that made the room look double in size. It also came with a pegboard message center and held colorful bins for plenty of storage. We then commissioned a local art teacher from a public school located near our house to hand paint a mural on the wall opposite the display of purses. My daughter is artistically inclined and drew a sketch of abstract designs that the artist successfully copied on to her wall. It truly accomplished the customized look she was going for.

All I can tell you is it has been about a year since we finished making their rooms a place they can call their own. The best part is they have kept their belongings in place and they spend many hours studying, laughing, entertaining their friends and most importantly keeping their rooms neat and tidy. Be patient, creative, listen and if you follow these steps you will also have tranquility in you life.

Not only this but they can also be enormous to keep heat in when it’s cold and they can control the amount of light that comes through when it is sunny. Also, they vary in price so you could get budget curtains which can look really good, to the more luxurious ones which look fantastic. It all depends upon your own personal tastes.

The foremost thing that you need to do is gauge your transom. Measure the length as well as the width. Then you should decide how far you want your curtains to hang. Wither you want them to stop right below the window, or hang and puddle on the floor. Add these inches into your window measurements. Next you should decide on the rod sleeve, and the hem.

Bedrooms Decorating Ideas:


Many people spend most of their time in bedrooms, when at home as compared to any other area in the house. While looking out for a new mattress for your bed, check for factors such as comfort and support. Some may have problems with the new mattresses they choose, and hence may prefer the old reliable one. Choose a basic bed with a mattress on a box spring.


If you have a kid’s bedroom in your house, it becomes obvious that it is not going to be clean all the time. You may cover up for this by keeping other parts of the house clean all the time.


Dress the bed with a simple blocked geometric spread. Use standard bed pillows in plain colors. If you want to cover the box spring, use a flat bedspread.


Use your creativity in designing bedrooms. Use your artistic skills to bring a modern touch to bedrooms. You may hang photographs, different kinds of modern art or paintings on the walls. Use things that make you feel relaxed in the bedroom.


Choose lights that are industrial in nature. People may use halogen lamps to get a dim effect in their bedrooms.


Next, individuals may use furniture according to the size of their bedrooms. Choose small furniture pieces, if bedrooms are small.


If the walls are in good condition, gloss paintings may be the right option. Keep the walls simple and plain with shades such as gray and white colors. If you prefer to have bold colors in your bedroom, go in for bright colors such as pure yellow or crayon red.


For the windows in your bedroom, use vertical blinds or roller shades. Hang the curtains on a simple modern metal rod. The fabric of the curtain may be of geometric design such as stripe or solid fabric with colors on it.


You may arrange for a workplace in the bedroom, so that it does not remain idle during daytime. The podium may be used as the library. Such planning increases the space for various recreational purposes in a bedroom. You may use mattress instead of a bed with the help of a carpet.


Position the head of the bed against a particular side of the wall. If there is enough space, place a wide bed far from the walls.


Bedroom is an intimate space. Generally, outsiders are not preferred to enter this room. Traditionally, bedroom is isolated and away from the noisiest areas of other rooms.

Home Design Sense – Bedroom Decorating Ideas

Home Design Sense – Bedroom Decorating Ideas

Bedrooms are frequently redecorated in many homes. We look around at the new bedroom items in the stores and feel our room is outdated. However; when you think about it – it is only outdated because you saw newer items. There is no need to go out and purchased new bedding; unless of course; you are catering to heads of state. And even then; you really don’t need to go crazy and shatter your budget.

The quickest way to a new look is a splash of paint. Even if you use the same color (because you had paint left over), a fresh coat of color reinvigorates the room, makes it look cleaner, newer. If you’ve grown tired of your wall color, choose a new one. To start painting you need to drape protective cloths over the furniture. Most often – painting can cause you to think of others ways to rejuvenate the room.

You can also use wallpaper to change the look of a room; but it is much more work than painting. So; you may want to consider using faux finishes to spruce up the walls. Instead of purchasing books on faux finishes and decorative painting; check your public library to get some ideas.

If your budget is extremely limited, you might start by adding new pillow shams. Usually sold as a separate piece from comforters, sheets, or pillowcases, a sham is a highly decorative pillow covering. If you find a great deal on pillow shams you should buy them and fill them with plain foam pillows. Have you ever seen bedrooms in the fancy magazines? What do you see but; beds with loads of pillows to give the room a very sumptuous and relaxing look. The more pillows the better.

A new comforter or bedspread is another way to redecorate your bedroom inexpensively; but buy only during sales. Check local malls for discount linen stores, or browse the Internet for great deals on beautiful, but cheap comforters and bed skirts. Even flea markets sell overstocked items such as sheets and bedspreads and a great pricing. Of course; you can always bargain with the shop owner for a better price.

A simple way to create a coordinated look without spending a lot of money is to use bed sheets to make window treatments. Often, comforters are sold in “bed sets,” which contain the comforter, as well as a fitted sheet, flat sheet and pillowcases. Since you sheets will usually be covered by the comforter, you can use the fitted and flat sheets as material to frame bedroom windows. If you don’t sew, use the special “no-sew” fabric glue sold in craft and fabric stores to hem a nice edge. In a pinch, you can hold a hem using a hot glue gun.

Decorating or redecorating a bedroom is often a matter of changing one or two elements. Remember; if you have a guest room to make it as nice as your own bedroom. you want your guests to be comfortable. Try adding some scented candles and fresh cut flowers to the room to give your guests a true ‘welcome’ feeling.

You need to make one or more walls the focus point to your bedroom. The walls should be designed with comfort and relaxation in mind. The bedroom should become your stress free haven.

Acquiring any form of wall décor is a fun step in the process of turning a house into a home. For any new project it is important to first determine your destination. Then determine the best path to reach your end vision. This quest can be difficult but I do hope to provide you with some guidance that will allow you to make the decisions that fit your home décor interests.

There are a vast variety of options to allow your walls to come alive with exuberance. From innovative lighting techniques to a collage of your family portraits can give you the outlet to let your creative juices flow.

Today on the internet or at craft stores you can find a wide range of inexpensive canvases, paints, kits and frames to create original striking pieces of art.

Certain finishes such as faux can be used to create a pattern of design to make the wall vivid and interesting. This technique will inspire all those who view it.

Stenciling offers the opportunity to achieve a personal finish. Stencils have grown in popularity due to the ease of applying the design using the proper techniques. You can buy stencils and pick your dominant colors from the rest of your furnishings and put them in a restrained way on your walls.

Wallpaper murals are a great alternative for those interested in a picture as the focal point but do not have the talent or time to do this themselves. Wallpaper murals can transform your bedroom into a spring garden or into a balcony that over looks the ocean. Many murals use certain colors that can be drawn deeper into your room which will extend the texture and dimension of your room. What ever theme you choose the wall mural will add beauty and truly make your bedroom a sanctuary.

Lighting in a room is very important. There are three types of lighting general, task and accent. The use of these different types of lighting will change the way you see and feel in the room. Using accent lighting will add drama and will highlight the areas you wish to bring into focus.

Mirrors, wall sconces and clocks add a touch of glamour to any space on your walls. Bedroom mirrors create the illusion of more space and elegant living. Wall sconces with mirrors add a great deal of texture, interest and modern design to your walls. By adding a clock to an empty wall can make your walls go from boring to brilliant. Wall sconce candle holders with their mystical glow can change the entire mood of the bedroom. It can change your plain bedroom into a haven of romance or allow your mind and body to relax. Fragrant candles can make you feel like you have been whisked away to another place and time. They add a soft subtle light and distinctive style. Wall candle sconces are one of the most affordable decorating options that will never go out of style.

Bedroom wall shelves makes for an appealing wall and keeps you organized. The wall shelf gives you additional storage space and helps you display your books, knick knacks and collectables. Most wall shelves are easy to attach to the walls, increases the value of your home and adds a decorative element to the room.

Wallpaper is ideal for making your bedroom walls take notice. Light colored wall paper is perfect for smaller rooms. For larger rooms darker shades give you a cozier feeling as long as you have sunlight streaming in through your windows. Horizontal stripes makes the room look wider while vertical stripes make the room look longer. There are abstract designed wallpaper that can give more of a contemporary look and a floral print always gives you that pleasant effect. Wallpaper borders are an essential accessory for wall décor that is sometimes over looked.
