BEDROOM CHIC: A guide to finding the perfect match between your personality and your favourite room!
 What’s your interior motive?
Yup, that’s right. I did say “interior,” because when it comes to getting your ‘bedroom chic’ on, a woman can definitely turn to her own inner guru for guidance! Interior decorating can be summed up as the way we put together colour, shapes, and textures in our spaces, and of course, how we do this is largely determined by our personalities.
That’s why most of us don’t perceive our bedrooms as just a room with a bed anymore! Our bedrooms have become our personal islands - a nook to retreat and unwind…far away from our hectic schedules. So are you the Earthy Girl, Diva, Sophisticate, or Modernist?
The Earthy Girl In your world, things just aren’t complicated. You’re just on a personal journey for balance and harmony in the universe. The words simple and natural embody you. Chances are, you have a love of recycled materials and a penchant for owning environmentally- friendly works of art. Your idea of a perfect vacation is communing with nature on a lush eco-resort, sipping a fruity cocktail, and dipping your naked toes in the crystal clear waters of a natural pool!
Your paint colours:
Soothing blues, aquamarines, greens, khakis, and beiges.
On your bed:
Nubby raw silk textiles, cool linens, batik, and hand-painted throw cushions.
Your drapery:
Gauzy cotton or linen drapes with tab-tops on rustic drapery rods.
On your floor:
Sisal or bamboo rugs. Your accessories: A vase containing fresh fl owers, woven baskets, framed landscape or wildlife photos, seashells, wooden sculptures, and mosaic mirrors.
You love to make an entrance at a party. It’s no secret that amongst your friends, you’re the “glamorous” one! Let’s be honest; you just can’t help being dramatic! That’s just who you are…and that’s why your bedroom is just one of your more important indulgences. You think nothing of swiping your light bulbs with a thin coat of perfumed oil to send an intoxicating aroma throughout your bedroom!
Your paint colours:
Bold reds, fuchsia pinks and purples accented with black, silver or gold metallics.
On your bed:
Perhaps a fabric-draped or upholstered headboard.
Your drapery:
Rich, velvet drapes with exaggerated swags or valances.
Your flooring:
A faux fur rug or a fluffy, fl okatiki rug for curling up on.
Your accessories:
Plumes and feathers, bold hats, sparkly chandeliers, crystal-accented lamps, chunky candles, and large mirrors.
