For example, if you are going to buy dark blue or brown wallpaper for a bedroom with dark furniture, then it will turn out gloomy and depressing. In this case, you can forget about a calm and full sleep. However, this does not mean that emerald, purple or wenge-colored wallpaper will not be able to be present in your bedchamber... It is only important to observe the proportions, for example, to arrange special zones with them or to use them as a decorative element in the overall picture. This will become a very bold and original design decision.

Wallpaper of a bright or rich color should also not dominate in the bedroom, where furniture in dark shades is located. In tandem with classic furniture, the effect of variegation and unnaturalness can be obtained, therefore it is necessary to resort again to the system of combining and highlighting zones.

As for the rest of the interior details, such as skirting boards, doors and windows, the design of a room with dark furniture will be logical, if you use the following combinations:

• yellow, golden or orange shades;

• shades of a creamy palette;

• white and all its varieties.

When buying curtains or drapes for a room with dark furniture, opt for fabrics in a neutral shade. It is recommended to combine curtains in color not only with furniture, but also with elements of textiles and lighting. As a general rule of thumb, the curtains you choose should be a shade lighter than the walls and lighter than the furniture. Even if in your bedroom there are no curtains, but blinds, then the rule of the principle is the same: they should be lighter than the purchased furniture.

It is recommended to choose a natural, airy fabric for curtains, but for curtains it is worth considering the option of a dense material in order to protect the bedroom from excessive exposure to sunlight. Synthetic curtains will become a real "dust collector", so it's better not to buy them.

If your bedroom turned out to be a little gloomy, then correctly selected lighting can correct the situation. But first, ease the "congestion" of the curtains, make them more airy, allowing sunlight to penetrate the entire room... The next step is to choose a ceiling chandelier with multiple bulbs. The design of lamps, chandeliers and sconces depends on the overall design of the room.

If a bedroom with dark furniture is decorated in a classic style, you need to purchase a crystal, sometimes even pompous chandelier. But with a more modern design, it is better to stop at the chandeliers-shades. When chandeliers are not enough for lighting, additional ceiling lights will have to be installed.

And here in the case of several windows in the bedroom, you can limit yourself to spotlights on the ceiling... This is very convenient if there are stretch ceilings in the room. Such lighting will create a special accent on the overall dark background.
