Although the times of the great Pharaohs have long disappeared into the golden sand of desert, the Solar deities and other ancient Egyptian symbols keep arousing our imagination. We rarely recognize the true influence Egyptian art has had on the development of modern art.

Colours that Calm Your Nerves

Ever since Howard Carter discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun, we have experienced a revival of ancient traditions. More and more people turn to the Pharaohs for guidance in developing their home decor. The main reason for Egypt maintaining its popularity is probably the soothing colour scheme that prevails throughout many different forms of art. It is mainly sand, ochre, yellow, turquoise and the earthy palette to balance out the bright tones. Adapt this colour scheme for your home decor and you’ll be surprised. It is fit for creative people and can be really helpful for those who suffer from excess stress.

The calm palette of this type of interior means that you can enjoy more freedom in choosing home decor items. You can refresh the room with golden or red statues or design elements, be bolder with your choice of lighting elements. As this is only a revival and you don’t have to comply with canonical boundaries, like the ancient artists, you can always add some kitsch to your interior.

The Unique Form of Art

Many of the other ancient arts, and indeed the modern art too, are often influenced by other countries and foreign ideas. In this perspective art of Egypt is totally unique. Since it reached its heyday on about 3000 B.C.E., Egyptian art has barely changed and remained conservative, devoid of any outside influence.

Nowadays many people have adopted the distinctive technique of ancient painting. For example, you can see derived elements in Graffiti art and contemporary decor.

Where to Start

The best inspiration for a truly impressive Egyptian décor can be the ancient Egyptian symbols and temple paintings. As this form of art is so quirky and positive, you can just leaf through a book or visit a museum and pick up many great ideas for your home interior.

The best possible advice is not to try turning your room into a temple. Too many figures painted on the walls and too many eyes looking down can make you feel claustrophobic. Try to simplify everything you see because you have to remember that contemporary living offers much less space than the ancient temples.

Many people will find that with the traditional earthy colour scheme they can achieve a much better effect than using intensive colours.

Agave $159 This modern design with a sleek green look will instantly update your home or office decor

Most people say lighter colors, but used wisely, even darker colors can make a room look larger. If there’s no crown molding around the ceiling, you might invest in border paper in pattern or colors lighter than the wall color to “raise” the ceiling visually. If, as you say, there’s only room for the bed and side table (and I’ve been there) you might take the headboard off your bed and push into the corner. Cover with pillows and swag sheer fabric (same color as the walls) over the top edge of the bed. You may want to opt for a standing lamp by the bed. I have one that’s done in an old metal look with a round glass table area built around the pole of the lamp. It serves the purpose and the glass makes it seem like it isn’t taking up space. You could then stack containers (covered in some printed fabric or paper you like) underneath for storage. Mirrors do reflect the image of the room back and will create an illusion of a bigger space. In one bedroom, I purchased mirror panels cut to size from a local glass company and mounted them on both sliding closet doors which in turn put mirror across almost one entire wall. You don’t want to make the mistake of putting as many small pieces in here as will fit, it will only make the area look smaller. Basically, choose a color you love for the walls, cover the window in the same color, and keep the bedding in the same color family. Then stick to just one or two prints or a print and a solid color that will coordinate well. You do have wall space to compensate somewhat. Maybe a corner too small for anything else could hold stacking boxes or baskets with lids to hold jewelry, scarves and gloves, makeup, etc. If you organize the space in your closet with maybe a small chest or bookcase (if possible), then your room is all living space and you can use the walls normally covered with furniture for candle sconces, posters or other art pieces. I learned a small room has some advantages in that I finally got rid of a lot of clutter I never used or wore anyway.
