Most probably, the antique furniture is made of mahogany, walnut, or oak wood. Even though the may be classy to look at and comfortable to use, the dark colors make a small bedroom look dingy.

 Whether you take a nap, watch television, get intimate with your lady or rejuvenate for the next day, the right lighting can change the shape of all these activities in your bedroom. Lights that put stress on your eyes are against the tranquil atmosphere which you want to create in your bedroom. Make sure that improper lighting is not done in the bedroom. Here are a few decorative lighting tips for your bedroom.
Table lamps and pull- chain lamps:
These are the best for controlling the amount of light easily. To establish a romantic atmosphere, use low-wattage pull-chains.
Ceiling lights:
Look for different styles of ceiling lights for your bedroom. Semi-flush fixtures add to the décor of your room. A dimmer light is recommended to suit the ambience, rather than strong lighting.
Floor lamps:
Illuminate the poorly lit corner of your bedroom with floor lamps. Make sure you get floor lamps that allow for three-way bulbs or have a dimmer switch so you can adjust the illumination to suit your needs.
Wall sconces:
Wall sconces beautify your bedroom and add character to the design of your room.

 The right pillows can make a dramatic difference in getting your dose of good night’s sleep. There are many types of pillow. My suggestion would be to choose the pillows according to your sleeping habits, that is, according to your posture while you sleep. Here are some of the many options available in the stores.
The most important factor while choosing a pillow is the level of comfort it provides. When you do the purchase, check its comfort level- lie down on it to see how much it will be comfortable in your bed.
Talking about the types of pillows, the synthetic fill are inexpensive and are machine washable. The alternative to synthetic filled pillow is wool- fill. Since wool is a natural fiber, it is more breathable than other materials.
If you want a firm pillow, go for the one filled with foam.
If you are a back sleeper, choose a pillow of medium firmness, to make support for the head, neck and shoulders. If you want extra comfort, place a pillow under your knees for the undisturbed sleep.
For side sleepers, the best type of pillow is which is almost flat. Since you are a side sleeper, you should distribute the body weight evenly along your body. A pillow with medium to medium firm consistency is preferable.

 Bedroom is probably one of the most important rooms of your home. You trudge into your bedroom to chill-out after a day’s long hectic work. Follow a few decorating tips to make your private sanctuary a cozier and tranquil place.
Color your walls!
Paint the walls of your bedroom using a warm neutral color. Add texture to the walls by either faux painting or rubber stamping. If you are bored of paint, wallpaper may be a different way of decorating your bedroom.
Comfort mattress:
Choose the right bed for your bedroom. Don’t get a bed that is too large for your room. Cover your bed with cotton bedspread in solid colors.
Pillows:
Pillows add an extra touch of romantic atmosphere in your bedroom. Use a mix of pillows of different sizes and shapes.
Lighting:
To create a cozy atmosphere, the lighting in your bedroom should be of low wattage. Consider using a three-way bulb in your side table lamps if you occasionally read in bed. Go for candle lights on special romantic evenings.
Personal touch:
Hang your favorite photos and wall paintings. Display figurines that reflect your feelings and personality. Place a flower vase in your bedside table.
