Gardens are great! Many of us have worked with some sort of garden, even if it was a mini garden in our front yard or backyard. While gardening can be hard work, there is something invigorating about the hands-on activity of working with soil. Also, it is rewarding to taste the fruits (and vegetables) of our labor. If you want to capture the glory of gardens as a bedroom theme, then follow these basic guidelines:



1. Select a light bed

The bed does not have to be lightweight in weight per se. Consider:

-ornate brass beds

-white or off-white beds

-headboards with a floral design

-cast-iron beds with wicker

2. Add floral wall art to the walls

You can add a variety of wall art with either floral or garden themes. Pressed flowers or ferns are one idea. This amazing process can increase the flowers life while allowing it to retain its beauty. You could also hang up pictures, such as botanical prints, on the walls. Finally, consider lovely botanical wall art, such as leaf metal wall art. Various styles and sizes of such art are available.

3. Choose a painted wood or pale wood dresser, or chest of drawers

Use a Battenburg lace or classic floral print tablecloth (circa early 1900s) atop the chest of drawers or dresser.

4. Choose curtains that create a light and spacious appearance

You have several styles from which to select, including eyelet, floral-print cafe, ruffled curtains, and tab-top.

5. Choose beside tables that support a garden theme

You could select skirted round tables topped with a fabric that complements your bedspread. Another option is a table with a glass-top, such as those for outdoors. Yet another option is a painted wood table that looks weather-beaten.

6. Accessorize, accessorize!

Accessories always put the finishing touches on any themed room. Likewise, you can use a wide array of accessories for a bedroom with a garden theme. Your options include:

-animal figurines

-birdhouses

-dried flowers

-fresh flowers

-lace doilies

-potpourri

-wreaths

7. Choose lamps with a basic appearance

Consider ceramic and wrought iron lamps as options. Of course, you could also select a lamp with a floral pattern. Once again, the importance is that the lamps provide a light appearance. After a tough day in school or at the office, such lamps can create an ideal aura for reading a book or magazine.

8. Use beddings that are light

You have many options, including chenille, delicate floral, eyelet, gingham checks, lace, and pastel quilts. Such beddings can effectively complement various types of floral and garden wall art, such as leaf metal wall art. Regardless of which style of bedding you choose, make sure that it has a light appearance.

While putting a garden in your bedroom is somewhat impractical, the next best thing is to create a garden theme for it. You can use various items, such wrought iron wall art, to create a light and relaxing environment!
