DECORATING WITH ASIAN COMFORTERS in BLACK AND WHITE to AVOID CLASHING
GO HERE FOR MORE
Asian comforters are now seen on the market in every color in the rainbow from purple to pink. If the Oriental symbols were missing, it would be very hard to tell they were Asian inspired at all!
Traditionally we have seen them in Chinese red, black and gold with occasional fire breathing dragon designs that might call for the use of some emerald green in the color scheme. For those that are not into a broad range of colors in their bedroom or that might have difficulties blending their existing palette with colorful bedding sets, there are monochromatic black and white Asian bedding sets with Asian comforters that might fit right in without having a major decorating challenge on your hands.
The black and white print fabrics will look fantastic with any number of bold colors that will break away from the classic style in a big way that teenage girls will adore. Purple, hot pink, bright yellow or even orange in a combination with Asian comforters and bedding sets in black and white will give the Oriental style of decor a modern look. Teens and tweens love to feel that they are capable of rebelling and giving old fashioned looks that may be mom’s favorite a kick in the pants.
Decorating bedrooms for teenage girls often requires compromise. At times the compromises may be more than a mother is comfortable with and may require all of the negotiating techniques she can muster. I would make the suggestion that if you and your darling daughter are butting heads over an acceptable bedroom theme, perhaps you could make the concession to allow her to do something funky and unusual with the accent colors. If you bend a little, she may be okay with your idea of using the best
Asian comforters
that are in an affordable price range.
WALL PAINT
If you get your way with the Asian style bedding; let her pick the wall paint color. If the color that she selects is too weird to swallow, get ready to make another compromise. See if it would be acceptable to paint three of the walls in a neutral color that you can tolerate and paint the fourth wall in the color that she loves. Never balk outright. Perhaps the worst possible reaction would be to criticize or seem shocked at her lack of good taste. It would be much more to your advantage to reassure her that her Asian decorating ideas are good but that too much of a good thing waters down the desired effect.
FURNITURE
This is where you begin to see the wisdom in choosing Asian comforters. Even the most basic, boring wooden dresser becomes fabulous and fits well in this bedroom design after being sanded down and painted with black enamel paint. Add some Oriental drawer pulls to your now Oriental style high chest of drawers and dresser and you have just saved a ton of money yet managed to get an expensive look with an inexpensive Asian comforter and a little bit of diplomacy and decorative skill.
EASY ORIENTAL PLATFORM BED
To bring the bed in line with the rest of your Oriental bedroom decor, you can have a carpenter make a wooden platform that is little more than a box to serve as inexpensive bed frames. You can have a custom made Oriental platform bed made to fit your mattress from twin to king size ready in a day for an extremely cheap price compared to buying one of the fancy tiered beds in a furniture store.
