How Designers Revitalize a Traditional Bedroom Set"},"content":{"rendered":"

Your chosen\u00a0color scheme is en pointe, your\u00a0traditional bedroom set is positively sumptuous, and now your master bedroom could\u00a0stand in proud company with\u00a0a five-star hotel room. Only . . .\u00a0you don’t particularly want<\/em> a hotel room. You want a home.\u00a0Your<\/em> home. Let our designers show you how to lift\u00a0a traditional bedroom set out of\u00a0anonymity.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Take Stock of\u00a0Your Traditional Bedroom Set<\/h1>\n

Let us give you a for-instance: Some of our Amish bedroom sets<\/a>\u00a0come complete with two nightstands, a dresser with matching mirror, an armoire\u00a0and chest of drawers – and that’s in addition to the bed! \u00a0Others, like the Four Poster Johnson Bedroom Set<\/a> below, have fewer pieces and a little more room to play:<\/p>\n

\"Amish<\/a>

This four poster bedroom set<\/a> stunner contains\u00a0the requisite amount of pieces: dresser, chest, nightstand & bed.<\/p><\/div>\n

So\u00a0when you’re considering new furniture pieces or accessories to add to the bedroom, consider what you could conceivably be missing, first.<\/p>\n

Define the Style of Your Bedroom Set<\/h1>\n

Before you can begin to give your bedroom some extra spice, you’ll need to determine its current\u00a0heat level. Some bedroom furniture comes pre-packed with a punch, like this thoroughly rustic bedroom set, where the head- and footboards, the drawer fronts and the pulls\u00a0all include bark and twigs:<\/p>\n

Don’t get us wrong – we think this level of commitment to a style is amazing, but we’re certain that it’s not for everyone, and also certain that pairing this rustic style bedroom furniture\u00a0with another highly stylized accessory (like an Eames chair in the corner, for example) would cause a fair amount of cringe.<\/p>\n

Have a gander at your bedroom set. If a style doesn’t jump out at you, you’re free to accent\u00a0as you please! If your furniture style is more defined (midcentury modern, minimalist), just opt for transitional or traditional accessories and arrangements to keep the winces away.<\/p>\n

So now that you’ve laid the groundwork, let’s get to the fun part!\u00a0Here are some additional bedroom furniture options for a masterful master:<\/p>\n

Snuggle up to a Bedroom Chair<\/h3>\n

Oh, the possibilities! Often a welcome respite from a hectic household, a corner chair in the bedroom is also an opportunity to add pizzazz to a traditional bedroom set. We lean toward upholstered seating for this kind of chair (it keeps the bedroom feeling plush) and playing with your bedroom accent color here. Use the chair to hit a bright yellow note in grey bedrooms, for instance, or a deep red tone in true neutral bedrooms.<\/p>\n

Bold stripes would introduce a more modern theme to your bedroom, thin stripes typically feel more coastal, and muted florals would carry a romantic mood to around the room.<\/p>\n

Make a Nook<\/h3>\n

We love a reading nook for a bedroom, both for escapism and for display. A bookcase allows you to add some of your favorite trinkets or art to the most personal room in the house while carrying on the cozy.<\/p>\n

Add a Writing Desk<\/h3>\n

\"Amish<\/a><\/p>\n

A large master bedroom is an ideal spot for an informal home office, complete with a desk like the Rowan Writing Desk. <\/a>If your style leans more coastal, then look for a whitewashed, distressed secretary desk<\/a>. If your bedroom is leaning modern, a sleek glass and metal desk or even lucite could work!<\/p>\n

Consider A Vanity<\/h3>\n

A Louis Phillipe vanity<\/a> enhances the elegant curves of this Chateau Bedroom set<\/p><\/div>\n

If desks or chairs don’t quite loosen\u00a0your bedroom\u00a0bind, you can always get more fancy with a bedroom vanity! An exquisite, luxurious space to prep makeup, store jewelry and set your curlers, a bedroom vanity can go mod just as easily as it can go Old Hollywood – simply swap out the heirloom, solid wood vanity shown above for a pared-down and mirrored model. Very\u00a0Mad Men<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Don’t forget that rugs, lighting, plant life, and art can all pile on the bedroom personality, as well! Let us help you find the traditional bedroom set that adapts to your lifestyle at DutchCrafters.com.<\/a><\/h4>\n
