Color Intrigue

Color Intrigue
I'm moving into a small apartment with a narrow living room. How can I make it look sophisticated and larger?

The apartment is a one bedroom with a living room. The kitchen area is so small that the fridge is in the dining area. I can paint the walls, but only light colors. Also, I can share pictures if you're as intrigued as I.

Paint the walls white/very light as it will bounce the light around and make it appear bigger.

Try not to use large patterns on anything as they will make everyting around them look smaller.

If you can afford it, get a flat-screen TV as it will save space and be further away from the couch. Use smaller furniture as large pieces will increase the feeling of closeness.

Avoid clutter as much as possible and populate the place with clean, crisp lines with just a few brighter pieces to liven the place up. A good bright area rug on the floor may also help.

You don't have to be intimidated when you decide to decorate your bedroom in a style that is appealing and sexy for you and any guests you have. Your bedroom should reflect your inner feelings and become a den and sanctuary for you that can make you feel sexy and sassy. This kind of design doesn't require a huge amount of effort and can be accomplished with a few pieces of furniture, starting with headboards and a new bed style. Once you have modern bedroom furniture, you'll be able to start with a clean palette you can dress up with sex appeal.

Choosing from among stylish headboards will help you begin with a design that shows your personal taste in terms of color and theme, as well as a shape from which you can build around. Simply exchanging your current style for an iron or metal bed, a simple and sleek design ready to be accented with plush pillows and thick comforters in lush, brilliant colors that make you feel sexy. These beds serve as a simple baseline for an entire theme, and one of the best ways to work around them because of their clean lines and modern look is to make it the centerpiece and draw your additional clean, straight lines and angles directly from its dimensions.

Wrought iron headboards make a great accent for these beds, adding a focal point at the top of your new bed frame to draw the room together and bring their attention to how your personality comes through in the theme. These headboards can be quite intricate in the metal working, or they can be simple with the clean lines you are using elsewhere in the room.

If you want to choose something a bit more intriguing while still keeping it simple, a king loft bed can be really sexy in a contemporary fashion bed. You can top this bed with one of a million headboards that will instantly blend into whatever design elements you prefer for your sexy lair. Because they are similar to platform beds in that they are so simple and sleek, you can again work around them and incorporate them into any sexy design that brings out who you are.

The most important thing about adding sex appeal to your bedroom is to make sure your choices for pieces to use make you feel sexy as well as comfortable. It is your lair, and any headboards, beds, and accessories you install should appeal to you and your sense of style and level of comfort while still adding that little bit of intrigue.
