BEDROOM INTIMATE DESIGN: THREE BASIC TYPES OF FANTASY STYLE

24th March 2009

There are three basic types of Fantasy style:

1. The ethereal fairytale style of the past has lots of white and light pastel colours, in particular pale mauve, pink and blue.

Fabrics are sheer and voluminous and draped everywhere. Decorative elements include fairies, cherubs, dragons, stars, moons and clouds, all in excess. This bedroom becomes a world within a world, indicative of either the immature adult seeking to find the little girl in herself, or a highly imaginative person trying to escape from the ugliness of the real world.

2. The futuristic style of the idealistic space traveller is a more stylised decorating style, with elements relating to outer space such as robots and space ships or futuristic planes. It is the world of Star Wars. All elements to this design have streamlined, clean and clinical lines with much silver or chrome, grey and white used. Sometimes touches of red, black or yellow are also evident. Again, this is a person, usually male, trying to escape from their present reality, this time into a world of the future.

3. The impossible ideal style is the world of Hollywood movie stars, of famous entertainers and of wealth and fame. The person who has this style of bedroom imagines that the world of everyone else is much better than his or her own and that money and fame solve all problems. Of course they only see the romantic side of this other style of living and this is what they try to create in their intimate life. The interest in the lives of celebrities, whether living or dead, by the fantasy seeker is totally obsessive and unrealistic, and that is how they live their lives. To most of us, this is immature and unimaginable behaviour – we don’t understand or want to understand for that matter. It may be interpreted by many as too cult-like.
