How to Create the Perfect Tuscan Bedroom
The elegant styles of Tuscany decor themes in interior decorating have remained a popular trend in home decorating for many years. Known for rich colors, scrolled iron work, architecture, use of marble and other organic elements, creating a tuscany style theme in your own home is not as difficult as you may think. While the style is most
popular in kitchens and dining areas, Tuscan themed bedrooms are a great way to bring that old world style into your sleeping quarters.
Generally speaking, the colors primarily found in Tuscan decor styles are warm yellow-undertone colors. Imagine colors that are most often associated with the fall season such as pumpkin, rich burgundy, olive green, browns or a deep golden hue. If you plan to start your bedroom make-over with a change in wall color, a burnt terra cotta orange or textured brown would be a great place to start. Speaking of textured, a point of interest in Tuscan themed rooms is typically the textured painting style, so don’t be afraid to experiment with that. Red is also a great accent color commonly found in this decor style.
Tuscan style furniture can vary in range from very simple to very elegant. You will want to look for furniture made from iron or fine hardwoods. The wood used in this design style should be polished and sophisticated yet very rustic. It should not be worn down like a shabby-chic furniture style, but “aged” and polished. Leather is also a great compliment to the theme, and a leather chaise would be great for a tuscan bedroom.
The accent pieces are what really tie in the complete Tuscany decor. The wall decor of the design style tends to be larger with a commanding presence. Tapestry or artwork of wine vineyards, rolling hills, or other nature-based themes that include the common colors are a great place to start. You can add elegance with cast iron wall sconces, standing water fountains and other pieces that incorporate dramatic old world arch designs.
