How to Decorate a Room With Custom Bedding and Window Treatments

Setting up and decorating a bedroom can be a fun and rewarding experience. Using custom bedding and curtains to match can make the room look as if it was decorated by a professional without the added expense. One way to create this effect is to choose fabrics and custom designs from a professional company. By ordering everything online, the customer can choose their favorite coordinating fabrics and patterns to furnish the entire room, from custom duvet covers to dust ruffles to pillows to curtains and window treatments.

Bedding
There are many different options to choose from in custom bedding components. First, determine the size bed and what different types of coverings and ornamentation it should have. Choices range from custom duvet covers to comforters or the old-fashioned look of a bedspread. Pillow shams to match the bed coverings add an elegant touch. Use a dust ruffle to cover the area below the mattress and box spring. It should hang down to where it is barely touching the floor, although some people prefer it to drape on the floor a few inches. Use a contrasting color and pattern between the bed cover and the dust ruffle to achieve a designer look. The bedspread, comforter or duvet cover will hide the sheets and extra blankets during the daytime.

Accessories
Add extra pillows and throw pillows to place on top of the bed. They come in any size or shape imaginable. consider adding trim or fringe to the pillows to match accessories on the window treatments. A combination of round and square, flat and tubular throw pillows give depth and dimension to the overall look. Add other furniture to the room, such as chairs, vanity tables and ottomans with contrasting fabric. Adorn them with throw pillows matching those on the bed.

Window Treatments
Coordinate fashion window treatments and bedding to create the look of a professional decorator throughout the bedroom. Use pinch-pleated drapes with sheer curtains below and valances above for a more formal look. Box-mounted valances give a more elegant finish. Curtains or drapes hanging loose or with a tieback create a more casual appearance. Tiebacks and with tassels, beaded trim and twisted cord add subtle ornamentation. For an informal look, use a simple Roman shade.

When decorating the bedroom and choosing colors, consider the wall coverings and flooring. Use colors in similar shades to those found in carpeting and wallpaper or paint. Keep in mind that lighter colors open up a room, while darker ones give it a more cozy appearance. Allow about a week for custom bedding and window treatments from quality made-to-order businesses online to be made and shipped.
