Now, you may not know how to create the perfect modern bedroom setting and you may think it is something the designers of the stars are responsible for, but you can have this feel in your home as well, with a little careful shopping.<br /><br />In many cases, you need to think of modern bedroom sets as making your bedroom like a museum. Modern bedroom sets and furnishings allow you to create a modern museum of art in your bedroom. Remember, in modern furniture form follows function, so the pieces are obviously ready to do their job, but the museum feeling comes in the fact that they are lacking the embellishments of more ornate designs. Instead, modern bedroom sets and furnishings are clean and crisp in design and are typically signature pieces that can either stand well on their own or work well with others.<br /><br />Because modern bedroom sets and furnishings are not ornate, you can often mix and match them to create the look you want in your museum environment. One of the great things about modern furniture is that things that were just designed a year or two ago will still work with pieces that were created back in the 20's by the masters of the modernist movement.<br /><br />You should start with the bed, itself, since this will be the center of your bedroom museum exhibit. The things to look for in modern bedroom sets are sleek design and contrasting colors. Generally the colors of modern bedroom sets are going to be black, white and red. That may mean black wood, white bedding and a red accent pillow. Or you could look for bedroom sets with metal frames, black bedding and white glass accents on the headboard. There are many options to have these contrasting colors be the centerpiece for your bedroom setting.<br /><br />Next think of the supporting pieces of furniture you need in your bedroom. It is possible that you may find complete modern bedroom sets that have all the pieces you need to complete the look you had been dreaming of for your room. Before you go out to shop, you should make a list of the things you need, in order to have all the storage you would like, as well as any other accent furniture pieces that will complete the look you are shooting for. Again these modern bedroom sets should stick to the contemporary material and color scheme of white or black woods, metal and glass accents. You may well be able to find some very contemporary dressers and pieces with gold metal accenting that will offer a very sharp look.<br /><br />Not only with the modern furniture can you create a unique artistic taste, but you can also display some of your own art pieces upon the artistic modern bedroom sets. If you are a collector of sculpture or other displayable pieces of art, you can use modern accent tables to display those real pieces of art you have collected, on their own pedestals, to show them off in full gallery style.<br /><br /><br /></div>

The style developed from the old English Country house style and the older French look and has now developed into its own unique style of themed decor.<br /><br />The two key words here are of course 'shabby' and 'chic' words that have distinctive meaning. Shabby meaning worn out, frayed or threadbare and 'chic' meaning stylish, elegant and fashionable.<br /><br />So how do we achieve that 'antique style' look without our homes looking worn and uncared for?<br /><br />Furniture is a good place to start with lots of options. Many retailers now sell lovely distressed looking furniture such as coffee tables or side tables made from wood and painted normally in white or pastel colours, sometimes plain and sometimes with a design embellished into the wood.<br /><br />Then there is the home accessories that are available and many of our favourite decor items such as photo frames, hanging decorations and clocks all come in varying vintage style designs and at differing prices.<br /><br />So why is this style so popular? Well there is always something friendly and comforting about a home that is decorated in this style with a real vintage feel and the theme can be adopted for most rooms in the home including the kitchen, bedroom, conservatory and of course the lounge or living rooms.<br /><br />The focus of many homes is the living room and hall where we often find numerous shabby chic items like coffee tables, photo frames and wall decorations all offering a pale painted finish which has been lightly distressed.<br /><br />So where else is popular for these vintage style items. Many homes will have shabby chic furniture or decor items in their conservatory and one of the favourites is the shabby chic garden bench with some pretty shabby chic photo frames or candlesticks to carry the distressed theme throughout.<br /><br />There are lots of vintage style home accessories that endorse this distressed look and you don't have to spend huge amounts of money to obtain a gorgeous authentic vintage style look around your home. Many online stores sell beautiful shabby chic home accessories and you should shop around as online shops or retailers can offer substantial savings when comparing to high street retailers.<br /><br />So, consider vintage home style furniture, decor and home accessories and watch your own home turn into a classy vintage style elegant and chic yet warm and loving place to live with soft furnishings, light coloured fabrics, distressed style furniture and some unique accessories to obtain that ever popular shabby chic style effect.<br /></div>

The answer is to use lace--new or old lace is an excellent choice since lace symbolizes grace and style. Tips for using lace in your shabby chic home decorating ideas include:<br /><br />*Lace curtain panels - This is a tried and true use of lace. Lace curtains allow light into a room while also adding a touch of elegance. They may be tied back, hung straight to the floor or hung straight and left to "pool" on the floor.<br /><br />*Lace valances - Lace valances may be used alone or with lace panels. I used a beautiful creamy lace valance with salmon-colored 1" wooden window shades in two living room windows. They looked elegant as well as light and airy and worked in perfectly in my shabby chic home décor style.<br /><br />*Lace placemats or doilies - Use lace placemats for each table setting or as part of a table centerpiece. Doilies are versatile and add a touch of style to any piece of furniture. My favorite use for doilies is to place them so they hang over the edge of a shelf for an attractive, pretty look.<br /><br />*Lace-trimmed decorative pillows - Lace pillows are a "must" in shabby chic decorating. You might want to use your own suitable pillows and add lace trim.<br /><br />*Lace handkerchiefs - Browse in antique shops and flea markets for vintage lace handkerchiefs. They can be used much the same as doilies as a shabby chic home décor accessory.<br /><br />*Lace scarves - They can be used as runners on furniture as well as draped over furniture. I especially like lace scarves or short lace panels draped over the rungs of a small wall coat rack or mug rack.<br /><br />*Lace-trimmed linens - You and your guests will love sleeping on lace-trimmed linens. Purchase these or add the lace yourself.<br /><br />*Lace wrist pin cushion - Yes, there are lace wrist pin cushions--something for everyone! Do an internet search, and you will find them.<br /><br />This should give you incentive to start shopping for lace, lace, and more lace! Be creative and have fun including lace accessories in your shabby chic home décor.<br /><br /><br /></div>
