We will continue our summer retreat at home theme today. You can click here to see how we created a dining summer retreat at home, and click here to see how we created a summer backyard oasis. In today’s theme, we focus on creating a a casual yet elegant bedroom with a king-size dark cane bed , plush trimmed pillows and shams, a pink velvet loveseat and the blush toile wallpaper. The two open wicker nightstands make the space more open and breathable while two of the table lamps add the character to this space. A sand-colored area rug anchors the whole room. Majorities of the pieces are now in Summer Tent Sale and the stock goes really fast. So act fast to grab them if you fall in love with any of them.
To encourage drowsiness, ancient Egyptians drank a beverage made of liquid extracted from wild lettuce stems. Charles Dickens insisted that his bed face north, even carrying a compass with him when traveling, and Vincent van Gogh soaked his pillow and mattress with toxic levels of camphor. In short, people have pursued the secrets of a good night’s sleep for millennia.
There are plenty of articles with advice on how to get to sleep that focus on diet, exercise, mattress types, and the like. This is not one of them. Instead we’re going to offer suggestions on how to create an environment that will pave your way to slumberland.
Chinoiserie has been around centuries thanks to its timeless and elegant design. Chinoiserie wallpaper was used to be a status symbol because they were all hand-painted in the past. With the advanced digital printing technologies, the Chinoiserie wallpaper has became more affordable over the years although we still love to offer our clients the hand-painted ones if they have the budget. Chinoiserie is the European interpretation and imitation of Chinese and other East Asian artistic traditions, especially in the decorative arts, garden design, architecture, literature, theater, and music. We have blogged chinoiserie in dining rooms, today we are going to share 21 Chinoiserie bedroom ideas.
We love this creamy botanical garden themed chinoiserie wallpaper in this all-white bedroom, adding romantic pattern to the space.
Blue is the most favored color in the world and it is true for the chinoiserie wallpaper too.

It has being poured hard outside since earlier this morning in Los Angeles. We guess nothing can beat staying in a warm and comfy home. Today, we are going to talk about 9 ideas for a fresh bedroom upgrade.
1. Have a soothe and relaxing color palette.
Color Sets the Tone for Relaxation
Cool cream—This soft, clean palette is the perfect combination of tranquility and luxury. Using fresh, white linens and a neutral palette similar to this gives your bedroom a hotel-type feel, making it easy to fall into the covers and imagine yourself somewhere far, far away.
Soft Whites, Pinks, & Grays—Soft pinks are another favorite to use when it comes to creating a relaxing mood in the bedroom. Paired with a few simple neutrals, this pretty color is the perfect way to add a soft touch of soothing femininity to a bedroom, like this one featured on the SF Girl site.
Blush, cream, brown. light gray and soft white
In a bedroom, where we most need to strike a calm and relaxing chord, the color becomes an even more important part of creating a sanctuary. Picking a color that you love, and pairing it with the right secondary colors, is the best way to create a space that you will enjoy – one in which you can relax and refresh.
There is just something about cool grays and blues that gives any room a smooth, laid-back vibe. In this bedroom featured on the SF Girl site, the paint color has a touch of purple, giving it a regal, sophisticated feel. Meanwhile, the lighter grays and whites in the space make a statement against the darker painted wall. Investing in good white bedding like this is one of the best ways to make your space feel relaxing and comfortable.
2. Add a stylish bench or a petite loveseat to the end of a bed.
One of the most practical (and therefore traditional) pieces to put at the end of a bed is a bench. The ideal place to plop down and tie your sandals in the morning or kick them off at the end of a day.

3. Have a vanity or writing desk–a clever and pretty way to spend more time in your bedroom in a style.
If you have a small room, you can think about replacing your regular nighstands with a sleek writing desk or vanity desk.

4. Upgrade your hanging light fixtures.
A unique hanging light fixture often adds a sophistication layer to a bedroom. Hang the chandelier over the center of the bed. Shorten the chain, so the bottom of the chandelier hangs seven feet above the floor. For ceilings higher than nine feet, consider hanging a two-tier chandelier, so the room doesn’t overpower the chandelier.

5. Hang a pair of smaller chandeliers at each bedside and save precious space on the top of bedside tables. For the most benefit when reading in bed, hang each fixture 20-30 inches above the nightstand so it rests at about the same place as a standard bedside table lamp.

6. Over-filled pillows on your bed.
There’s something so luxurious about plush, overfilled throw pillows, which go a long way in transforming your bedroom from “everyday” to a bonafide retreat that emulates the most sumptuous of hotels.

8. Display some artworks.
Show off your style with a statement piece of artwork, whether it’s a sculpture, photograph, or colorful painting. While it can certainly be displayed on a wall, leaning your favorite piece against a wall can be just as powerful.
9. Add greenery fresh flowers.
As always, the quickest and easiest way to upgrade your room from “average” to “expensive-looking” is to add some greenery. What form this takes is up to you: A large fern? Small potted plants on your dresser? No matter how, adding a few plants helps a room make the final leap to luxury. And of course, fresh flowers will add a touch of elegance to your bedroom.
