Roman Or Greek Looks For Your Bedroom

Today's culture has been shaped for the large part by the Greeks and Romans

. Both have major contributions not only in arts but in other areas as well like science, astronomy, politics to name a few. Some if not most of their contribution were the basis of the society we know today.

The Greek and Roman contribution to art is considered to be the most far-reaching. Many pieces of architecture, styles, and designs have been inspired and built around both Greek and Roman art. This is why it is not totally uncommon to find Greek and Roman influences in these areas repeated many times.

Greek and Roman influence is not only limited to art and culture. You can use both styles to translate it to your bedroom. The Roman or Greek bedroom can be both romantic and grand. You can do either one depending on your personal taste.

Both Greek and Roman style uses subtle hint of color. It is advisable to use neutral colors when choosing paint color. You can use beige or browns to color your walls. You also have the option to mix and match both.

To create a specific look, get three shades of light brown and a glaze. Use the lightest shade to paint the entire wall of your bedroom.

The medium shade of beige should be mixed with the glaze on a ratio of 50% paint and 50% glaze. Using a sponge, dab this paint mixture onto the walls making sure not to cover the first layer of paint. This will create an interesting pattern on your wall. This method also crates texture on the wall.

Using a tape, create lines that represent columns on your wall. Make sure to space each tape appropriately so as not to cover the entire wall. You may select this style for just one wall in the bedroom. Paint the darkest shade between the lines. Once the paint is dry you can take off the tape.

Next, focus your attention on the floor. If you can fit it in your budget, try to use wood floors to complete your Greek or Roman theme. On the other hand if it is too expensive, then you can also position a rug or carpet in the area. Robust textures like sisal or jute are great choices for rugs or carpet.

The bed is possibly the most important piece of furniture in the bedroom. To create a Greek or Roman themed bedroom, a large bed with an intricate or ornate head board is great. A four poster bed is a nice idea. You may also drape light, white drapes on a canopy bed to give it a grand or romantic feel.

Accessorizing your bedroom is also key in completing the look of your bedroom. Greek and Roman styles are both big on sculptures. Nonetheless, you do not need to place statues of marble in your bedroom in order to achieve the same look. A decorative metal wall art is a good way to create a Greek or Roman influences with a contemporary twist. You can accentuate your motif and colors by using black coffee wall art.

On the bed and floor, place big comfortable pillows. If you love metal wall art, place it on top of the head board to provide a focal point in your room. Complete the look of your Roman or Greek themed bedroom by positioning beautiful candelabras on top of your dresser or chest. There are many different ways you can transform your bedroom into a romantic and grand Greek or Roman themed room all you need is a little inspiration and a lot of creativity.
