Thousand and one nights in the bedroom in oriental style

European people have always been interested in oriental interiors, but in recent years this style has become incredibly relevant.
Today, a variety of functional premises tend to be decorated in it, but for some reason the most successful is the bedroom in an oriental style. Let's reveal a secret: this miracle happens due to the fact that the oriental interior is a collective image. It has a number of directions: Indian, Japanese, Arabic, Chinese. Any of these branches will be called the general concept of "oriental style", but at the same time have their own specific differences. They can be combined or embodied in decor as an original design.

Features of the Arabic interior

Arabic interiors greet us with massive heavy furniture and chic draperies made from incredibly expensive fabrics. An indispensable attribute of this direction are pillows, which should be many and which should have different sizes. It is good if the room has arched vaults. Looking at the above, it becomes clear that the Arabic interior in its purest form can only be realized in very spacious rooms. He must certainly look expensive and amaze with his luxury.

Features of the Asian direction

But the Asian line of oriental style is distinguished by restraint of decor. There is a minimum of additional elements and a maximum of space. This style will be preferred by fans of minimalism. By the way, it is good for small bedrooms.

Bedroom in oriental style: the splendor of design

“Provided that the bedroom, decorated in an oriental style, does not shine with spaciousness, you need to play on color combinations, and focus on patterns and ornaments, and not on style”

Before you start turning the bedroom into an oriental boudoir, you need to figure out the color palette. It would seem that the room has a specific functionality, which means that its coloring should not distract from relaxation. Nevertheless, designers in this case stop at juicy, deep and very saturated colors. Favored by red and all its shades:

1. Burgundy.
2. Pink.
3. Purple.
4. Terracotta.
5. Purple.
6. Violet.

Very often, a blue tone appears in the decor of the bedroom. But the green spectrum in such a room will not find any use, despite the fact that for many Muslims it is a favorite, because it symbolizes their faith.

Psychologists advise choosing cold colors for the bedroom, then it will be easier to calm down in it after the whirlpool of daily events and relax, which, of course, will only benefit and allow you to fully relax.Such a solution will also be optimal for rooms that are too saturated with sunlight, because it will bring with it, in addition to peace of mind, also coolness.

For those who prefer to be surrounded by warm tones, it is best to think about gold, peach or red. These colors are also considered classics for an oriental-style bedroom..

Now let's look at the ceiling. In this solution, it is often blue, as if symbolizing the sky. Since this is a bedroom design, stars or, say, zodiac signs may well appear on it. Often they are written in gold, but interpretations are possible. You can go further and equip the ceiling with small star-shaped lights. In the evening, it looks so beautiful that it is simply impossible to take your eyes off the ceiling. Of course, no one has canceled the classics, so the white ceiling will not be considered bad manners in oriental style.

Speaking of furniture, I would like to note its massiveness and beauty of dark shades of polishing. However, provided that the bedroom, decorated in an oriental style, does not shine with spaciousness, you need to play on color combinations, and focus on patterns and ornaments, and not on style.

Do you remember, East style - this is a "hodgepodge" team, so if you have a desire to add Egyptian notes to the decor, then activate the yellow color in the interior. It is easily combined with gold and black. Egyptian motifs will be good in addition to dark brown.

Finishing the East Bedroom

Do not think that the walls in the Arab bedroom have to be painted red. Yes, indeed, this background, complemented by gilding, has long been considered a symbol of wealth. It is clear that the effect of luxury in the bedroom is easiest to bring in this way, but will the atmosphere of such a room be comfortable?

Let's remember. Red is the strongest stimulant for our psyche. People who find themselves in such a room always note an increase in heart rate and the appearance of increasing excitement. In such an environment, it will take a long time to relax and it is not a fact that the process will be successful. What to do? Play with halftones, since there are plenty of them in the red spectrum.

Beautiful walls in an oriental-style bedroom with an Arabic twist are complemented by a luxuriously decorated ceiling. With a sufficient height, it is made multi-tiered and decorated with carvings or ornaments. In typical apartments, you can limit yourself to ceiling paintings and carved cornices.

In addition to paints, the walls of the oriental interior are always decorated with niches. They are organized at very different heights and are mainly used for purely decorative purposes. They host:

1. Vases.
2. Lamps.
3. Decorative little things.

Sometimes clothes are stored in the niches of the bedroom. If you want to get such niches in your room, then use drywall to create them. And don't forget the arches. By the way, they can also be made from this material. The most popular in this direction is the Moorish version of the arches.

For those who do not know what it is, let's make a brief description of the architectural sophistication that designers love to see in an oriental-style bedroom. An arch of this type is similar to an ordinary horseshoe, on the arc of which there is a slight sharpening. If you have ever seen the entrance to a mosque, it will not be difficult for you to understand what is at stake.

The main decorative element of the bedroom, of course, is the bed, so its headboard is always decorated with special trepidation. In the case of oriental design, drapery and luxurious decor will appear here. Let your imagination fly and don't get hung up strictly on the headboard.You might as well drape the entire wall behind it.

Let's look at the floors. In the modern solution, this may be, of course, and laminate, but ideally they are lined with chic ceramic tiles in terracotta tones.

Oriental bedroom furniture

Furnishing a bedroom in an oriental style is very interesting. The center of the room is naturally occupied by the bed. It always resembles an airfield in its size and is quite high. The bed frame can be forged or wooden. When thinking about how to properly position it, keep in mind that the Arabs never put this item against the window as a headboard. In their homes, the bed is often located on the podium.

If the wall visible behind the bed does not have any special decorative designs, then a luxurious headboard is a must.

Another almost mandatory element will be the canopy and canopy. They can look like a canopy over the bed in the form of a sail or be a round hanging tent attached to the ceiling. Luxurious canopy can also be installed on high supports-racks. In extreme cases, this element of bed decor can be replaced with a simple curtain at the head. Nowadays, these parts are not loaded with a protective function. Their role in an oriental-style bedroom is rather style-forming, so they can be made from any fabric, from velvet to tulle. The appearance of the suspension makes the atmosphere more comfortable and emphasizes its oriental subtlety.

It is more rational to replace bedside tables with magnificent polygonal tables in the Arabic spirit. Their countertops can be decorated with mother-of-pearl inlay or arabesques. It is quite possible that these will not be antique pieces, but modern variations made of wood, plastic, glass, chipboard or MDF. These ethnic stylizations look pretty decent.

A painted, carved or inlaid chest may appear at the foot. If you have two of these chests at your disposal, then use them instead of bedside tables. This will also look original.

A wardrobe in an oriental-style bedroom can be standard. It is quite enough to simply supplement it with style-forming elements, for example, make its doors carved or paint them. A mirror wardrobe will fit well into such an environment, the sliding doors of which will be covered with panels with oriental ornaments. It can be applied by sandblasting or replace the mirror with stained glass. On a note: in the homes of eastern residents, bulky cabinets rarely appear. They store things behind the closed doors of wall niches or in built-in wardrobes.

In general, any furniture containing Persian upholstery, arabesques, decorative lattices and Moorish ornaments can appear in an Arab bedroom.

Another classic detail of the oriental interior is a mirror. In this case, everything is important in its design, both the shape and the type of frame. The shape of the mirror can be:

1. Domed.
2. Arched.
3. Lancet.

Frame, respectively:

1. Mosaic.
2. Carved.
3. Painted.

If you already have a mirror suitable for your oriental-style bedroom, but it is enclosed in an inappropriate wooden or plastic frame, decorate the latter with a multi-colored mosaic used for wall cladding and the problem will be solved.

Textiles in the oriental bedroom

“Finish your bedroom with oriental scents when you finish decorating it.”

Oriental textiles attract with luxury textures and beauty of colors. It is simply impossible to describe all its colorfulness in words. Silk splendor always ends with fringes or tassels. The shades are saturated, invitingly bright, unusually juicy. Pillows of various shapes and colors will be very useful.

Thoughtful lighting will help emphasize the beauty of the bedroom. In the bedroom, several lamps can work simultaneously, pouring light from different points of the room:

1. From the head of the bed.
2. Ceiling.
3. Paul.

Moroccan or Mauritanian lamps will not only successfully illuminate, but will perfectly decorate the room. Their lampshades have an incredibly beautiful cylindrical or polygonal shape and are often decorated with colored glasses. The number of such lamps is not limited. In an oriental-style bedroom, they can be everywhere: on the floor, on the bedside table, on the ceiling, on the walls.. Often it is they, the lamps, that become the finishing touch in the work of the designer.

In order to get a stylish lamp, it is not at all necessary to purchase it. It is quite possible that in your house you will find an old lamp with a lampshade of a suitable shape. In order to decorate it in an oriental style, they use an ordinary Persian scarf.

As for decorative elements, in the oriental bedroom there is always a lot of forging, bronze, and copper. Carved lamps with chased frames, huge fruit dishes, elegant jugs. There is also a place for clay and ceramics with a characteristic painting. Those who travel can bring such gizmos from their tours.

When you finish decorating your bedroom in an oriental style, fill it with characteristic scents. To do this, use incense, sachets with spices, scented candles, but do it in moderation. The bedroom should not be drowned in clouds of smoke.
