Choosing the right style of furniture to decorate
your bedroom can be a lot of work, especially if you and your
spouse disagree on the preferred style. For some, contemporary
bedroom furniture is the perfect answer. With clean lines, sharp
angles, and simplicity in style, this type of furniture speaks
to a desire to follow advances into the 21st century. For others,
modern bedroom furniture is an insult to the classical styles,
doing away with elegant curves, detailed designs, and imposing
sizes. If you are the kind of person who likes to be up to date,
how can you convince your spouse that contemporary is not contemptible?
First of all, the key to such disputes is compromise. Iron beds
are quite contemporary in their simplistic lines and minimalist
design but often incorporate classical elements, such as intricate
carvings in the wrought iron. This may be the first of many solutions
available to you. Another thought is to express an interest in
modern bedroom furniture that imitates antique furniture, with
distress marks and chips in the wood that make it appear less
“shiny and new”. This is one element that can make contemporary
bedroom furniture rather more tolerable for those who prefer a
less current fashion. While you cannot typically find modern furnishings
that are anywhere near the size of Victorian era beds and dressers
in their imposing styles, you can look for furniture that mocks
their designs. Rather than choosing true modern bedroom furniture
with sleek lines and hard angles, find furniture that offers rounded
corners, gilded patterns, and intricate carvings into cherry wood
and mahogany. Of course, this option completely negates the choice
of iron beds, since they don’t blend well with classically decorated
wooden furnishings. One other option to consider is giving into
the desires of your spouse and opting out of contemporary bedroom
furniture while maintaining a set of standards to keep you happy
as well. For example, you can request that the amount of bedroom
furniture purchased be minimal so that the size is not overwhelming
in the room you are trying to decorate. You can also insist that
these classical furnishings in Renaissance fashion must be found
in a color more commonly found among modern bedroom furniture
settings, like black, charcoal, or even bright colors, rather
than classical wood colors like oak or redwood. Fortunately, there
are enough manufacturers of various styles that you can usually
find contemporary bedroom furniture designs that even the worst
skeptics can tolerate. Don’t give in too easily if you really
have a preference; instead, be patient, and continue your search
for furniture that is pleasing to all.
