Bedroom Decorating:
For bedroom decorating we love reading magazines like
House Beautiful. They recently did an issue featuring bedroom decor that showed "9 fabulous bedrooms." And they were fabulous! The upholstery fabric choices in each bedroom were especially fabulous. Bedroom number 3 was a red toile fabric similar to our red toile. Bedroom number 5 was a Shabby Chic rose fabric similar to our red rose Shabby Chic fabric. We hope you get inspired to do a little bedroom decorating with our bedroom accessories and also our upholstery fabric.
Famous Bedroom Decor:
One of the most luxe examples of bedroom decorating in all of American history may have been that in the bedroom decor of Helena Rubinstein, the cosmetics company founder and one of the most successful businesswoman of her time,(1870-1965). Ms. Rubenstein moved around a fair amount but her final bedroom was in a triplex on Park Avenue in Manhattan.
-From Over the Top Suzanne Slesin's book about Rubinstein, we learn that under doctor's orders at age ninety four, Madame Rubinstein was to spend at least a few mornings a week in bed but that this did not interrupt her work. She invited her key executives to her bedroom. It could accomodate up to at least a dozen people. They perched on acrylic chairs. Ms. Rubinstein was quite a Modernist.
Even if you don't plan to have business meetings in your bedroom, make your bedroom decor special!
Another favorite bedroom decor is the one belonging to Idina Sackville at "Clouds," one of her African homes.
Here is an excerpt from the book The Bolter by Frances Osborne, Idina's great granddaughter describing Idina's bedroom decorating:
"It was a large room, almost the size of the drawing room, but, sited on the corner of the house, it again had windows on two sides. Near the door lay an enormous bed covered in a rug of wildcat skins and above which hung a childhood photograph of herself, Avie and Buck. Beyond its sleeping area was another "room," space for a writing desk and chair, another sofa even, all looking out to the view beyond. The door was propped open by a tortoiseshell-topped elephant's foot, to allow her dogs to wander in and out."
No wonder they called the house "Clouds." The bedroom sounds heavenly!
