Blending the Bedroom Furniture for Super Style

Jackie and Cooper were in desperate need of a redo of their bedroom of the worst kind. After seven years of a happy marriage they were beginning to think it was time to invest in some bedroom furniture that suited their style. However, when it came to style, Cooper thought Jackie did not have any, and Jackie thought the same about Cooper. Of course this was not true at all, they both had good taste, but they needed to figure out how to make it work together. So, when it came to choosing a new set of bedroom furniture for their home, this married couple just could not agree on what style they wanted to go with.

Jackie's style was a mish-mash of found items that were pieced together from thrift stores and antique shops. Jackie took great pride in hunting down little treasures like 19th century chairs and blending them with textiles and trinkets from around the world. Jackie really felt that this kind of decorating made a room feel more at home and personal.

On the other hand, though, Cooper was not so hot about having everything unmatched. Although, he did like some of the little trinkets and treasures Jackie brought home, it was a bit too much. To be sure, he really felt that the mish-mash quality of their room made it hard to relax and feel at home after a long days work. Cooper much preferred a more contemporary look to things. He liked for the basic elements to match and to have a quality that was timeless. So, when it came to decorating, Cooper was looking forward to getting something that would never go out of style.

Interestingly, what these two did not know was that their styles were quite compatible after all. And why wouldn't they be? After all, these two made quite the happy couple. Truly, they overlooked something very essential when it came to decorating and choosing their bedroom furniture -- combining both of their tastes for great, sophisticated style. They just needed a little editing and some basics to get them started.

Jackie and Cooper found that when they took elements from each of their individual tastes, their room became just exactly what they both envisioned. What they decided to do was to blend the furniture and accessories to communicate their own unique stylistic points of view. Since oftentimes the bedroom furniture itself will set the tone for a space, they agreed that would be the best starting point. So, Jackie and Cooper agreed that they would go with Cooper's love for the classic style and went with a contemporary queen size sleigh bed frame, with matching chests of drawers. These classic pieces provided a good canvas to add the decor. That is where Jackie's love for antiquing came into play. Jackie and Cooper went shopping at antique stores together to find some elements that would put the finishing touches on their new space.
