Achieve That Bedroom Country Look Without Buying New Furniture

Accessorizing your bedroom is one of the more fun aspects of the decorating process and can result in a really nice country theme décor.

Just as you accessorize your outfit with jewelry and purses for women and ties for men. The same goes for your bedroom! You can add interest and style to your bedroom décor with a few inexpensive accessories.

To decide on exactly what you want from your country decor browse through some of the latest decorating magazines to get some examples of how to decorate your bedroom. To keep the country design consistent, you’ll have to limit yourself to only purchase the accessories that match your theme.

Color choices for a country décor are your basic muted colors. Think milk paint in those great old reds blues and greens. Another great color combo for country décor is red white and blue. Don’t go with anything too bright though and steer clear of pastels.

Add metal stars old wooden pieces baskets and other cozy accents that will help bring out the country in your bedroom. It is recommended to group your accessories in odd numbers rather than even numbers. To add interest use accents of different heights and textures. An interesting grouping might consists of a couple of picture frames a vase and a trinket box.

You can use artwork on your walls to compliment your country decor but they wont look right unless you hang them correctly. You should hang wall art and paintings so that the middle of the piece is at eye level. You can use a large painting or a tall mirror behind the bed as a headboard. Use a mirror that is very tall for a dramatic effect! Hang your country themed pictures seven to ten inches above a table. Try to align pictures in different geometric shapes (vertical circular triangular or rectangular groupings) in various sizes for a different effect.

When accessorizing your bedroom don’t forget about the lighting. Lighting creates a mood and can be a wonderful enhancement to the country theme you want to create. Pierced tin or plain lamps go best with the country look.

Area rugs can define a space and pull your bedroom together. Rest furniture completely on the rug for a warmer effect. Pick area rugs in colors that match with the rest of your country accessories.

Using pillows can add interest as well. Use several at the top of the bed and vary the texture colors and patterns while still keeping the color and theme within your overall bedroom design.

Don’t forget to have fun! Don’t think you have to buy everything for your bedroom at once. Shop around to find the perfect accessories to match the country theme in your bedroom. You can get great ideas and buys at flea markets and yard sales. There are many craft books available that you can also explore. Use your creativity to find the right accessories to make your bedroom the place you have always dreamed of!
