Turret rooms are gorgeous and speak of a time when things were more sophisticated but so much simpler. The Turret room harkens back to the days of the Victorian time in style and architecture this makes them fun to have for a room but hard to decorate because of the floor plan. The lack of corners makes it hard to put certain furniture into many of the turret rooms. On the other hand turret rooms make great libraries, home offices or sitting rooms. They are glamorous and can take you back to a much more majestic time. Below are some hints on how you can decorate the different types of turret rooms listed above.
While outdoor benches are perfect for the outside you don’t want them in your turret room. Choose a bench for indoor use and you can start to decorate your turret library room and be done before you know it. A library should be a peaceful place for refection and reading so the first thing you want to do is build bookshelves or buy bookshelves and line the walls with them. Line the bookshelves with wallpaper to match the walls in the room and then paint the bookcase itself a contrasting color.
Choose a fluffy and comfortable that is large and put it directly in the center of the room then put one large round table in the center of the room for a place to work at. After this is done make sure to get a bench for indoor use that can stack neatly under the table when you are done with it to allow for more space. Add some overhead light for easy reading plus a few lamps and a couple of easy chairs and you are set to go. You can then sit back and look out of your turret window at the outdoor benches on the patio below.
For a very comfortable sitting room in a turret style room you should hang some curtains that are airy but layered so they can be adjusted to let in just the amount of light you need at any point of time in the day. Install a bench that wraps around the room, add a few comfy armchairs and cushioned rug on the floor. On the floor add some pillows for people to sit on and you will enjoy many cozy nights with friends in the years to come.
