DRAMATIC DRAGON COMFORTER to TICKLE YOUR TEENAGE GIRLS FANCY

GO HERE FOR MORE




Behold, the most alluring lime green silk dragon comforter that I have seen in quite some time and possibly ever in my decorating career. What a perfect example of how the bedding fabric sets the tone for the rest of the bedroom. In this case, the embroidered, gold dragons breathing fire and writhing their way across the top of the bedding will lead the way to an equally attractive layout for the rest of the bedroom that is striking and dramatic in an interesting color scheme.

I can imagine this oriental dragon comforter on a bed with a black lacquer headboard with the bedside tables and bedroom furniture following suit. Furnishings inlaid with mother of pearl with aged brass hardware and lamps with rice paper shades will complete the Asian inspired décor and allow the dragon comforter and bedding set to be the shining medallion or centerpiece of the bedroom’s design.

The luscious, lime green
dragon bedding
set needs no assistance provided from bright accent pieces. It would be a shame for a comforter of this kind to have to compete for dominance. The black, painted furniture that I suggested is not for the purpose of toning down the brightly colored fabrics. To the contrary, the dark colors are to lift this piece up so that it gets the attention that it so richly deserves.

ORIENTAL DRAGON BEDDING for your BEDROOM DECOR

GO HERE FOR MORE



Whether you prefer your
dragon bedding
sets to be of the fire breathing sort or to be more elegant and understated, there is no way to deny that comforters with pictures of dragons, oriental symbols and medieval motifs are one of the most dramatic styles of bedding on the market today.

Popular colors can range from emerald green, black and gold to a more warm color palette of Chinese red and ebony black with metallic gold accents painted on the fabric. Dragon bedding in medieval baby nursery themes might take a more pastel and fanciful approach taken out of the pages of a storybook devoted to the rescue of royal damsels in distress rather than scary flying lizards in ominous, twisting poses.

Many decorators consider dragon bedding to be Asian personified. However, I have a different opinion in that it is my belief that the two styles can be combined for a unique look or each can successfully stand separately without relying on the other for support.

It is true that many dragons appear to be oriental in origin, but there are others that appear to be more Western in origin. Teenage girls and boys who are fans of popular video games prefer their dragons to breathe colorful flames out of their flaring nostrils and want their bedding sets and dragon art posters to follow suit and reflect the colors and designs that are displayed across the wide expanse that forms the top of their dragon comforter sets or duvet covers.

DECORATING WITH ASIAN COMFORTERS in BLACK AND WHITE to AVOID CLASHING

GO HERE FOR MORE





Asian comforters are now seen on the market in every color in the rainbow from purple to pink. If the Oriental symbols were missing, it would be very hard to tell they were Asian inspired at all!

Traditionally we have seen them in Chinese red, black and gold with occasional fire breathing dragon designs that might call for the use of some emerald green in the color scheme. For those that are not into a broad range of colors in their bedroom or that might have difficulties blending their existing palette with colorful bedding sets, there are monochromatic black and white Asian bedding sets with Asian comforters that might fit right in without having a major decorating challenge on your hands.



The black and white print fabrics will look fantastic with any number of bold colors that will break away from the classic style in a big way that teenage girls will adore. Purple, hot pink, bright yellow or even orange in a combination with Asian comforters and bedding sets in black and white will give the Oriental style of decor a modern look. Teens and tweens love to feel that they are capable of rebelling and giving old fashioned looks that may be mom’s favorite a kick in the pants.

Decorating bedrooms for teenage girls often requires compromise. At times the compromises may be more than a mother is comfortable with and may require all of the negotiating techniques she can muster. I would make the suggestion that if you and your darling daughter are butting heads over an acceptable bedroom theme, perhaps you could make the concession to allow her to do something funky and unusual with the accent colors. If you bend a little, she may be okay with your idea of using the best
Asian comforters
that are in an affordable price range.

WALL PAINT

If you get your way with the Asian style bedding; let her pick the wall paint color. If the color that she selects is too weird to swallow, get ready to make another compromise. See if it would be acceptable to paint three of the walls in a neutral color that you can tolerate and paint the fourth wall in the color that she loves. Never balk outright. Perhaps the worst possible reaction would be to criticize or seem shocked at her lack of good taste. It would be much more to your advantage to reassure her that her Asian decorating ideas are good but that too much of a good thing waters down the desired effect.

FURNITURE

This is where you begin to see the wisdom in choosing Asian comforters. Even the most basic, boring wooden dresser becomes fabulous and fits well in this bedroom design after being sanded down and painted with black enamel paint. Add some Oriental drawer pulls to your now Oriental style high chest of drawers and dresser and you have just saved a ton of money yet managed to get an expensive look with an inexpensive Asian comforter and a little bit of diplomacy and decorative skill.

EASY ORIENTAL PLATFORM BED

To bring the bed in line with the rest of your Oriental bedroom decor, you can have a carpenter make a wooden platform that is little more than a box to serve as inexpensive bed frames. You can have a custom made Oriental platform bed made to fit your mattress from twin to king size ready in a day for an extremely cheap price compared to buying one of the fancy tiered beds in a furniture store.

ASIAN BEDDING - ASIAN BED IN A BAG COMFORTER SETS

You may be amazed at how many comforters are now classified as Asian bedding. There’s your Asian inspired bedding and comforter sets with ancient Chinese symbols combined with cherry blossoms or purple lotus flowers as well as those with classic or traditional Asian colors that are predominately red, black with gold accents.

In the past, my Asian bedroom decorating ideas for teens leaned toward the floral prints with pastel colors and orchid prints. It was my belief that for the young lady in her early teens, delicate designs and watercolor print fabrics were more appropriate than the dramatic, red and black color combinations.

However, today as we are well aware; anything goes in the world of teenage bedroom décor and bold color schemes in the bedroom are the very least in the list of issues facing the mothers of preteen and tween girls. In fact, sexy colors in their young girl’s bedroom décor might one of the first compromises a modern parent is willing to make when making deals for good behavior which will trump good taste on every mom’s bargain table in my decorating experience.

One area where mothers often can’t make concessions is on price; expensive Asian or oriental style bedroom decorations are often beyond reach when the budget is tight. Even if you find your Asian bedding or bed in a bag set on clearance sale, it’s a challenge to work with this style of décor and keep the price tag for the overall design in a reasonable price range without the risk of the room looking cheap or cheesy. For decorations to compliment a teen girl’s Asian bedding or bed in a bag set, you may get by with items purchased in a store specializing in Asian party decorations or an import store and painting a basic dresser with shiny black lacquer paint. For an attractive adult bedroom in this style, I would include at least one piece of antique, oriental style furniture that will give the room a dignified atmosphere.

DECORATING TIPS for a TEEN'S ASIAN BEDROOM

GO HERE FOR MORE!




I have seen instructions for decorative painting techniques recently that involved stenciling the fabric of chair cushions. What a unique way to give plain old solid color pillows a makeover! I went in search of stencil patterns that would make the do it yourself decorative painting so quick and easy that teens could manage the entire project from selecting some bad (read good) paint colors to making their own stencil designs. What I found initially didn't make me overly excited. There were some pretty designs, but most were too fancy or ornate for what I had in mind.

Then I came across the Asian stencils that would look so very cool with black and white bedding even if the entire bedroom is not decorated in an Asian theme. You could take tiny portions of the stencil and paint Asian figures practically anywhere in the room! I especially love the idea of a few symbols in white on black satin accent pillows or black and red on white silk fabrics. How sexy would that feel, I want to know!
