Wondering how to decorate your master bedroom with a romantic touch? Why not start by adding a cheval mirror? There are three things you need to remember when decorating a room. The room needs to be functional, create a mood, and express harmony. It's the secret to every successful decorating project. No longer is your bedroom a place where you crawl into a bed to crash after a hectic day. Modern bedrooms are much larger and thus they often provide a place to unwind and relax. Whether you love the sleekness of contemporary or the comfort of traditional there are all kinds of ways to achieve that romantic getaway. Gone are the days of a bedroom with a nightstand on each side and a couple of dressers tossed around the room. Instead an more romantic refuge is sought and achieved by using fabrics, color, furniture, and of course with the touch of your cheval mirror. The romantic influences from Europe are making their way into our North American market. Richer woods like cherry or walnut are used and an eclectic mix is often popular. So let's say we combine a wrought iron bed with a beautiful wood floor mirror or visa versa. Add a distressed mirror, toss in some floral window coverings and wow relax and enjoy. But wait we aren't done. Toss some thick luxurious pillows on the bed with a beautiful plush throw to help create the atmosphere. Add some fresh flowers, candles, and some soft scents. Complete with a Tiffany style lamp and now we're talking truly romantic! Newer homes have much larger master bedrooms so finding a special spot for that cheval mirror won't be difficult. Choose a spot that's not only functional but adds to the dcor. Consider a corner with soft lighting. Perhaps near your dresser or armoire. Look at the various finishes that are available and then consider what you are looking to achieve. Are you looking for a complementary piece or a focal piece or do you just want it to blend into the wood work? With so many great choices I strongly suggest you choose a mirror that's going to "do something" for your room. After all why waste a great room addition? So what kind of choices do you have? 1. Cherry
