Setting up a Roman style bedroom will make it stand out from others that are styled in a contemporary way. The decoration will consist of two parts: the painting of the walls and the adding of the accessories.
Required Materials and Tools
Paint
Plaster pillars
Sponge
Plants
Accessories (paintings, murals and other Roman types of artwork)
Step 1
Get three shades of beige paint. There should be enough of the lightest shade to paint the whole bedroom. The second darker shade can be a little less than that. The darkest can be a quart.
Step 2
Start by painting the room in the lightest beige shade. Let it dry.
Step 3
To continue painting the Roman style bedroom, combine the medium shade hue fifty/fifty with glass medium. The glass medium can be purchased in any paint store.
Step 4
Use a sponge and apply it on the walls. Make certain the pattern is not regular but it does not completely block out the paint. Add just enough so texture is attained.
Step 5
Prepare the third paint (the darkest). Use this to paint lines along the walls so they resemble marble. Just add a few lines per wall. Don’t put too many lines because it will look cluttered.
Step 6
Place some faux columns along the walls.
Step 7
When the paint has dried, you can add the furniture. Roman architecture is noted for being simple, so avoid elaborately designed furniture. The colors should be light to complement the walls. Another nice touch would be a canopy with drapes.
Step 8
For the best results, use a wood floor. An alternative is a rug. Multicolored lights are all right but they should be light. Fibers like sisal or juts would look great. The rug can be placed over the entire flooring. Make sure the rugs are well anchored.
Accessories
Place plaster pillars around the room. These can be topped with glass. They may also be used to contain plants. The bedding has to have simple textures.
You can add Roman themed paintings on the walls. You can find several of these in garage sales and online auction sites. Be careful you don’t clutter the room though. Keep it tidy and clean.
As the facts show, setting up a Roman style bedroom is not that hard. In fact it is fun, and your creativity will come out. Just don’t forget to let the paint dry before adding any accessories.
