Bedroom is a place where we have a rest, spend most of our time, and therefore you should pay maximum attention to design. The minimalist style is perfectly suited for those who are tired of the abundance of color and impressions. Colors are usually gray-black and white or beige. The beauty and luxury of sculptural forms and materials are in the foreground. Romantic style is also very popular. Lots of textiles in the interior of a bedroom will create the desired atmosphere of comfort. Choose elegant and fantastic fabrics such as velvet, silk, satin. And of course the main item in the bedroom interior is bed. All other items of furniture in this room should attract as little attention and take so little space. According to experts, the most "erotic" is a circular bed.
