Any ideas for a Boudoir bedroom?
Ok i'm 25. I really like to get some advices and tips about decorating my room like a boudoir. I love the looks of boudoirs. it has to be rustic and at the same time glamorous. some things i like to be incorporated in are: *a Morrocan taste (furniture,decorations,candles) *a taste of India (furniture,pillows,decorations,curtains,lamps) *a Dream of Genie kind of theme(pillows,femenine accent) *shabby chic *i want to paint it pink..hot pink and champagne pink (any advice?) *decorations and furniture other colors than pink *i like feng sui decorations *what type of arts (paintings,sculpture) can i get? i'm concerned about the color,if it will look too girlie and teen. i don't want it to look way too much femenine..some advices please! it has to be stylish, chic, a touch of femeninty but yet contemporary and inviting for a bf to come over and have some good time (weekends) or move in some day who knows! pls some links and pics will be very heplful too.. MERRY CHRISTMAS

- Im sorry, I don't know becuase I am soo bad at decorating, but I just wanted to say your idea sounds totally sexy and cute! I'd say stick with jewel tones instead of pinks and it won't look too teen that way. But what do I know! good luck!!
- Hiya me and my hub have just done out our bedroom... its beautiful!! we have gone for deep reds and brown .. very inviting. I painted 3 walls white, and papered 1 in brown wallpaper, that is the main wall a with huge deep brown leather bed coming off it. hanging above the bed is a large canvas in deep reds and browns. the bedding is deep red, with a collection of scatter cushions in deep red, but various textures, each one different.. velvet, sequined, silk. to the foot of our bed are huge chocolate brown, sliding wardrobes with white frosted glass, going through centre. I have no ornaments, just the minimal look... but with big impact. these colours look gorgeous together, and we have a proper boudoir without it being girly or manish. I also got a bigger curtain rail, than window, and hung heavy floor length curtains to give the illusion of a bigger window, but also added a roman blind.layer, layer, layer!! have fun and be bold, but think carefully about your choice of colours. xx
- OK Sugaliciouzzz, are you ready for the definitive answer regarding COLOR?! The answer is in your clothes closet! I know it sounds too simple, but it's YOUR best PERSONAL answer. You've been doing personal color research all your life!

- I'd say to travel all the thrift stores you can in your area to find things to fit your theme! remember-anything can be painted or given some updating! find empty picture frames, tables, chairs, dressers, pillows you can make new covers for, lamps-you can recover the shades, sculptures, shelves, even bed frames! I'd say do a deeper color of pink-like a maroon or deep purple-your guy will appreciate it more!
