How to Decorate a Bedroom With Greek Decor

Choose a Greek-themed color scheme. Ceylon blue, dark turquoise, white, ivory and rusty ochre work well with this Mediterranean style. Use at least one blue hue in your color palette to suggest the color of the sea, which is used often in traditional Greek decor.

Select simple, modern furniture. Find a bed that has a low frame and short headboard. Pair simple furniture with elaborate accessories and patterns to create interest in the room.

Add patterns and textured accents through the use of throw pillows, blankets and table or wall decor. The Greek "key" motif, which features a squared geometric pattern, works well in fabrics and tile designs. Choose several pieces that feature the Greek key and use it throughout the bedroom.

Create a classic look by using white bedding with single sky-blue painted wall. The blue will encourage a relaxed ambiance, while the white suggests purity and cleanliness. Stimulate visual interest by incorporating bedding with a faint geometric pattern.

Decorate the room with vases and vessels depicting Greek historical narratives or fictional imagery. Vases are typically created with black and terracotta colors. Place a collection of vases on top of a dresser or arrange them on a set of floating bookshelves in your room.

Incorporate rustic wooden features in your bedroom. Wooden floors, shutters or an antique dresser will contribute to this theme. Use rough-hewn picture frames or carved figurines to give your bedroom a rustic Greek look.

Allow natural light in your bedroom. Not only will this make the Greek styled room look fresh and inviting, it solves lighting solutions. Decorate windows with light fabrics such as linen or cotton for a breezy effect.
