The interior of the baroque bedroom is not very popular. This can be explained by the features of the style and the requirements for the room. Should the room be spacious enough? with high ceilings. Otherwise, the impression of the interior will be ruined. Another thing is a mixture of styles. For such bold decisions, a baroque bed will be a successful acquisition.
Features of baroque furniture
As an interior, baroque was formed in Italy in the XVI-XVIII centuries. Its main difference is the rejection of linearity in favor of diverse forms. Baroque furniture is made exclusively of wood and decorated with numerous small details. The presence of a large amount of tissue in the room is a prerequisite. Every detail in such an interior should be luxurious, sophisticated and unique.
Bed sizes
The bed in the bedroom is central. For the Baroque style, this statement is especially important, since the emphasis is on a luxurious lifestyle and idle pastime. In this case, the sleeping bed should look royal.
First of all, it concerns the size. The baroque beds have a king size. An important addition will be a comfortable and fairly soft mattress.
Design
You can recognize baroque beds by their unusual luxurious design.
- The frame is most often presented in the form of a massive structure.
- The headboard. This part of the bed deserves the title of a true work of art. Manufacturers offer numerous models with high headboards, decorated with carvings, fabric or leather upholstery. Often furniture of this stylistic orientation has a high foot.
- Are the legs of such beds large? heavy-looking construction details that also adorn wooden carvings.
- The effect of aging. The combination of baroque style and the effect of artificial aging of wood allows you to achieve amazing results. The design of such furniture recalls the palace luxury of the past.
- As a starting material for the production of such furniture, only solid wood is used. Most often it is a southern nut, oak, rosewood, Ceylon tea tree and other elite varieties of wood.
Four Poster Beds
Connoisseurs of retro interiors are unlikely to get past the baroque double beds, decorated with a canopy.
The canopy is a fabric curtain that is mounted above the bed using a special design. In the case of the Baroque interior, the device for attaching the fabric is presented in the form of four pillars. They are located at the corners of the bed and are used to fasten a rectangular or round frame on which to place a fabric curtain. Pillars are traditionally made of the same wood as the bed itself.
The presence of a canopy is not a distinctive characteristic of this style direction. A similar detail is found in the interiors of the Renaissance, Classicism, Gothic. The main feature is the design of the curtain. For the Baroque style, the material is chosen with a rich texture and soft shades. To create the desired atmosphere, the fabric is abundantly draped, as a result of which the material falls in soft heavy folds.
Additional details
When buying a baroque bed, several important details should be considered.
Pillows To enhance the effect in the interior, you should use a large number of pillows. Moreover, they can be both the same size and different.
Tissues. The canopy bedspread and curtain should be made of fabrics such as velvet, satin, silk and other similar materials.
Shades. To add sophistication and chic to the Baroque interior, it is worth using textiles of rich deep or, on the contrary, pastel shades. If the wall decoration is light colors, the design of the bed should be done in royal blue, deep purple, noble brown or burgundy. The canopy and peach, milk or vanilla shades can emphasize the tenderness and elegance of the interior.
