Victorian style bedroom sets are often built of mahogany or oak. Some may be found in walnut but almost always these bedroom sets are stained in a dark color. Many Victorian sets are found to have marble tops and some contain real or faux bamboo. When selecting a Victorian set, look for excessive carving, trims, and embellishments. The pieces should be heavy with some upholstered pieces. Velvet and needlepoint in dark shades of red and green are common.
When searching for English Country bedroom sets look for Chippendale styles and complementary oriental rugs. The wood found in these bedroom sets are oak and pine, which may be painted and decorated. Rooms decorated in English Country may feel slightly cluttered, using knickknacks to fill the empty spaces. Try using bedspreads of chintz with gathered floral chintz used for curtains. Calico with tiny flowers is a favorite and is often found in English Country bedrooms.
Modern style bedroom sets are easily distinguished from other sets. Think "high-tech" when seeking modern furniture. Circles, spheres, and blunt right angles are often found in modern styles. Metal, plastic, and glass are all signs of modern bedroom sets. Fabrics found on modern beds will be solid colors with machine stitching. Window treatment in your modern bedroom may consist of vertical blinds or venetian blinds. Bedroom sets are often solid black or white, with new contemporary colors such as bright red or green becoming more common. These simple bedrooms are found to be uncluttered.
Finding the style you'd like for your bedroom set is your first step to decorating and furnishing your bedroom. Once you've chosen your style, you can start shopping and the fun begins.
