Even the tiniest of bedrooms can be given unexpected distinction by an interesting window dressing providing the focal point. For visual appeal and a feeling of comfort and tranquillity, warm neutrals in my opinion are the ideal colour choice. This beautiful bedroom even though it has a modern streamlined look, is soft and inviting.

Curtains in a bedroom are more feminine, even though a blackout blind may be called for in certain circumstances. The Galleria G2 Mozaic Gold Ball Curtain Pole is a fine example of the sort of metal curtain pole that can really set the style of a room. The stunning curtain finial is a delicate mosaic of gold and chocolate mirrored fragments, ideal for harmonising with soft neutral colourings. The curtain fabrics and bedding will need to maintain the neutral tones, but the careful selection of a limited number of home accessories in golds or browns will ensure an interesting feel to the room. Subdued lighting is of course an essential ingrediant to soften the edges of the room, creating a romantic feel to the bedroom.

In a pale neutral setting, the colourings will need to be maintained, so if a blackout blind is required the Bellini Cream 'Black Out' Roller Blind makes a good choice. The matt finish of the roller blind fabric ensures that is does not try to overshadow the soft furnishing fabrics and the total blackout properties will ensure that the early morning sun does not disturb any beauty sleep.

 

Contemporary curtain poles

Some people like a minimal, uncluttered space, but also like to have colour and vitality surrounding them. Colours, particularly in a bedroom, should be rather subdued – too many bright colours may affect your sleep pattern. An attractive approach to the colours of your window treatments in a bedroom can be taken up and echoed elsewhere in the room, such as with the bedding and cushions. Pale green is a good colour for bedrooms as is pale blue as it will visually expand the dimensions of the room, whilst introducing the colours of nature into the décor, always good for a restful repose. The Shona Mint Ice Roman Blind makes a good bedroom blind, the modern faux silk fabric ensuring a delicate feminine feel in the room.

A good bedroom window curtain pole for schemes that focus on colour is something that can blend well with the colour tones of the bedroom furniture, ensuring continuity throughout the room.  For a light or mid-toned shades of décor the Resina Advent Cone 35mm Ash Curtain Pole Set will be ideal, it’s contemporary blend of metal and wood will suit most modern homes, whereas the Byron & Byron Contemporary Orb Curtain Pole Set will look fabulous with a rich dark scheme. The wooden curtain pole is available in 33mm, 43mm, 55mm and 67mm pole diameters and although it is available in 7 colourways, the darker tones will give a brilliance against the background wall colourings and soft furnishings.

 

Modern bedroom blinds

Some go for the more trendy bedroom finish, which of course you are more likely to get away with in a bedroom as you do not spend most of your waking hours there. As long as the principle is not too outlandish, then if it suits you, anything goes. Sometimes a bedroom can be designed around a whim, perhaps a platform bed in a modern home or a four poster bed in a more traditional home. A simple bedroom blind in this instance is all that is usually required in the modern décor such as the Duet Sunflower Roman Blind

An element of crispness will be introduced with the perpendicular lines of a vertical blind such as the Acacia Lemon Vertical Blind or the horizontal lines of a venetian blind such as the Sunflower Metal Venetian Blind

A four poster bed really is best suited to the decadent traditional home so you can afford to be equally self-indulgent with your bedroom windows and go for something like the Museum Pantheon 35mm & 45mm Curtain Pole Set. This fabulous wooden curtain pole is available in many alternative colours and within this range of pole, there is also a fantastic selection of curtain finials with complimentary curtain holdbacks and tie-backs. Museum Holdback or the Museum Acorn Tieback
