Any ideas for a Arabian style bedroom?

Question

I have a canopy bed, Red velvet drapes and red comforter.

Answer 1

Probably not a good choice these days.

Answer 2

I would suggest adding a pierced metal lamp. And also something featuring intricately carved wood -- maybe a dresser, or mirror, or a screen/room divider. If you have the room, you might want to find oversized floor "meditation" pillows in rich jewel tones and adorned with gold braiding or soutache. Perhaps you could add an authentic woven floor mat, which adds more texture.

If you can, paint your walls in a rich, traditional moroccan red, which will do the most to create the exoticism and feel of Arabia. If you can't paint your walls, then consider hanging panels of brightly colored sheers on one or more walls; something to create the vibrancy needed and to reflect the light. Do a grouping of candles. And maybe think about an incense box. This one is pierced and would complement a pierced metal lamp:

Answer 9

You can take some old furniture, paint it a purple or red color.  Then gold leaf accent points, like trim.  

Then look for vintage light fixtures, spray-paint them gold then use black spray paint and lightly spray it on certain points to give the fixture an aged look.  Then throw some cool gold or other brightly colored beaded trim around small light shades and you've got a cool Arabian fixture!

Look for sarongs to make pillows from it.

Answer 10

Ooh it sounds awesome!  Try some gold and pink or fushia somewhere in the room-it's just a great color combo. Did I spell fuschia right?!

Answer 11

You are looking for a Morocan Style Room

You are on the right track! Make sure your red is the rich ruby or garnet red or it'll be off! The design emphizes using rich jewel tones (think of the colors of jewels) , earthy warm tones like sand, terracotta, copper, cinnamon, sepia, mohagany and intricate carvings in metal and wood.

Moroccan décor is quite popular in modern homes, due to its dramatic jewel toned colors, gorgeous exotic patterns and luxurious Moroccan fabrics. Making a bedroom into an exotic Moroccan bedroom is a decorating project that can be very exciting. From choosing the Moroccan furniture pieces you like to finding the Moroccan bedding and decorating accessories that fit your taste and set the mood of your room, the shopping experience will surely be a pleasant one with so many Moroccan home accessories to browse through and enjoy.

How to Start Your Decorating Project

Start by selecting your paint color. What color excites you for your Moroccan inspired bedroom? You have lots of color choices with this theme. Moroccan décor spans a wide range of colors - from cobalt blue to saffron yellow; from shocking pink to brilliant red and gorgeous greens. Any of these colors would work nicely in this African décor. Offset with some earthy tones, like sand and cinnamon and your bedroom will definitely take on the decorative appeal of Morocco.

Use Moroccan Home Accessories To Complete The Look

You can add wonderful touches of Moroccan design to your bedroom with mood lighting using Moroccan candle lanterns or lamps. Use authentic lanterns imported from Morocco if your budget allows or you can achieve the same look and feel with beautiful Moroccan-inspired candle lanterns at a substantial savings.

There are many Moroccan lanterns and lamp designs to choose from. You can start adding that exotic touch by purchasing just a few Moroccan candle lighting fixtures. Hang your Moroccan lighting or place them on side tables or drawer tops.

Many Moroccan lanterns and lamps use candles as their light source, but they can also be electrical. The choice is yours. The advantage of using candles as the light source is that the movement of candle light enhances the romantic mood created by Moroccan candle lanterns. The flickering flame causes the shadow effects made from the intricate pattern cut in the metal of the lanterns to dance about on ceilings.

Heighten the mood in your romantic Moroccan themed bedroom by using scented candles in your exotic candle lanterns.

When it comes to Moroccan bedding, most designers suggest that you stick with spice colors. Your bedding can either match or offset the color scheme of your paint.

Add lots of pillows or cushions on the bed and on the floor. Use pillows with colors and patterns of Morocco. Moroccan fabrics or even some embroidered silk will help you achieve your unique exotic look.

Rugs are another great accessory for your Moroccan bedroom. Use decorative area rugs or authentic Moroccan rugs to soften the floor and enhance the authentic look and feel of your bedroom.

Use canopies or mosquito netting above your bed to give your bed exotic style.

Moroccan furniture, including Moroccan tables, chairs, wardrobes, headboards and chests, can be heavy wooden or wrought iron pieces. Ornate markings on the heavy wood are common. Metal pieces lean toward being "chunky". If you want authentic Moroccan furnishings, you should look for Moroccan Imports such as intricately carved screens and carved furniture pieces with mother of pearl or brass details or intricate carvings and brilliant colors.

If you are having a hard time finding decorating ideas for your new exotic Moroccan bedroom, there are many Moroccan decor decorating books to choose from. You can purchase these books to find Moroccan decor ideas you would like to use.

If you are just getting married or buying a home and you like the Moroccan style, you can always put the Moroccan Imports you like on your wish list.

Any look can be achieved for less if you use your imagination. If you're on a budget, buy accessories and furniture that give you the feeling of Morocco for a fraction of the cost.

Add some Arabian fabrics and other things you would find in Arabia like Photos of  Camels, Date Palm Trees, Sand Dunes and Arabian Landscapes and Flags.
