As a man, my idea of decorating a bedroom consists of making sure my clothes are hidden from view in the closet. Many men just don't have the fashion chops to , so thankfully women were created to handle the task. However, if you're going to try and impress a lady, you may have to work a bit at decorating your room the smart way.
Guys, it's time to try and make your bedroom look not only comfortable and manly, but also appealing to the ladies you want to bring into the room. Here are some tips to help you make it look beautiful:
-- Using Egyptian cotton or about who you are, or at least it will to the ladies. If they see a bedroom that is decorated with these elegant fabrics, they'll think, "Well that's an elegant man." Even if you rarely sleep on the costly sheets, have them handy to whip them out when a woman is coming over.
-- Yes, the perfect color for most men is white, as it's a practical color that will match with anything. Unfortunately, white walls may be a bit too stark for her tastes, so consider using colors to make your room look more relaxing. Blues, greens, and browns are soft on the eyes, and creams and beiges work nicely too. Once you've chosen the color of the room, get bedding, rugs, and furniture in the same palette.
-- If you want to give your room a luxurious look and feel, add a deep-pile carpet in your bedroom. Not only will it make your bedroom look much more elegant, but it will invite her to take off her shoes and let her bare feet explore the wonder that is the carpet. It makes the room look more cozy.
-- It's interesting how many men will decorate their rooms with all manner of elegant things, but there are no personal touches. Got that old baseball trophy, spelling bee award, the 4th grade picture you're proud of, or a collection of trading cards? Make space on a shelf and put those items there to make that room yours.
-- If you're going to try and convince a woman that staying with you is a good idea, she'll need space to put her things. A will be the perfect hidden place to store everything. It will blend in with the rest of the room, but it will provide you with more than enough storage space for all of your stuff and hers.
-- The right lighting can totally change the mood of the room. You want soft light in the overhead light fixtures, as it relaxes your eyes. Consider a couple of lamps on the bedside tables, which gives the room a homey look. Finally, consider using one or two smaller lamps to provide very dim lighting for your 'special romantic interludes'.
Yes, you may be a man God gifted with little to no fashion sense - like me - but you can at least pretend that you know what you're doing. With these tips, you can make your room look appealing to the ladies you want to impress.
