3rd in a series on Tuscan Decorating

 
Tuscan bedroom ideas that will complement your authentic Tuscan decor as well as an updated, colorful Tuscany style bedroom. How are they different?
An authentically designed Tuscan bedroom maintains the simple, natural Tuscan country feel.

Look at the photo above:
  • The floors are tile in this photo, although a wood floor also would be appropriate. Throw rugs made from natural materials could certainly have a place here as well.

  • The walls are white (or cream), with minimal accessories.

  • The ceiling in this room is wood and beam. Other options would include wood beams on a stucco ceiling, or just plain unadorned ceiling.
  • The lighting is in keeping with the room, simple and functional. An iron base would work well, with a shade that is not too elaborate.Antiques are good; track lighting is out.

  • Bed linens and coverings are white or light colored and made of cotton. Almost every bed cover in Tuscan bedrooms is a Matelasse, which is a cotton jacquard fabric. 
  • The furniture is wood and iron with marble and tile accents. Although we can't see the headboard in this photo, it is most likely black wrought iron.   
  • Pictures and accessories are kept to a minimum, with family photos in metal/antique frames found in most in authentic Tuscan style bedrooms. Artwork will most often consist of botanical prints.
An updated Tuscan bedroom reflects some of the 'liberties' taken to create a more colorful and for some, comfortable, atmosphere. Read more about an updated Tuscan Bedroom
