Vintage '50s master bedroom decor: Tips from 1958

Today's best home decorating has reached a medium in which the lavish and the stark have been blended, sifted and molded into a combination of beauty and good taste.

The bedroom, for example, has undergone a metamorphosis in the past three generations. Once one of the most sumptuously decorated rooms of the home in which fancy and furbelows figured prominently. It then, for a time, took on a Spartan air of the strictly utilitarian, where beauty was banished as non-essential.

Today, decorating of the bedroom has attained a smart but informal elegance in which drama is achieved through the skillful combination of simplicity with rich materials.

Many modern-day bedrooms feature paneled walls of such sophisticated woods as creamy beige west coast hemlock, for homeowners find that wood lends rich texture and quiet elegance to the bedroom while never detracting from elements of the decor.

Home decor tips from 1958: Color with discretion

Color should be used with discretion, and decorators have found that certain hues add to the restful quality of this room. Colors from the cool range — blues, blue-greens, clear greens and violet — are all good for bedroom decor, and earthy shades stemming from the tones of natural wood also enjoy great popularity.

Light ceiling treatment is necessary for this room to assure an airy atmosphere, and the pale shading of natural hemlock decking is preferred.

Unfailing good taste, simplicity, fine materials, and a spark of individuality — these are the ingredients for successful contemporary decorating.

Paneling popular in bedrooms: Decorating ideas from 1958

Usually, a sleek quality is preferred for bedroom walls, so panel boards cut with a tongue and groove, which fit together without a break, are most often specified.

Because of wood's neutrality of color, the paneling is usually finished with clear lacquer or varnish to retain its natural assets. In the case of the bedroom, where homeowners want to give added attention to a smooth, lustrous finish, paneling is often completed with a hand-rubbed waxing.

Furnishings for the bedroom, though utilitarian in function, simple in design, can be lavish in effect with individualistic touches contributing much to the scheme of things — a hand-carved or padded headboard, a bedroom set of oriental flavor in Chinese lacquer, flowing casement draperies in Shantung, raw silk, or textured linen.

To make a vintage bedroom look brighter: Tips from 1959

Draperies and furniture absorb light, and the correct use of color can usually "pep up" a dull bedroom. Light color planks, such as yellow or green, will brighten a dark bedroom.

Since light usually strikes the floor first, make sure that the rug or floor covering material is also a light color. Plain white planks are also becoming popular in modern arrangements, since bright accessories will supply a colorful contrast.
