9 Easy Steps to Create a Greek Or Roman Themed Bedroom
We should write thank-you notes to the ancient Greeks and Romans. The Romans gave us Roman
pillars, coliseums, and the Senate. Meanwhile, the Greeks gave us Boolean logic (for computers),
democracy, and "The Father of Medicine." By taking some basic steps, you can recreate the aura of
ancient Greece or Rome, by creating a Greek or Roman theme bedroom. Here are some steps to
help you:
Step 1: Get the right paint
Your first step is to choose a particular shade of beige that you prefer. You will then need to buy
particular amounts of three shades of light brown, and glaze. All of these products are available at

the beige and 50% of the glaze. Then use a sponge to dab the second color onto the walls. The
second color will add both depth and texture to the first coat. Make sure not to completely cover the
first coat. Instead, use asymmetrical patterns to create a layered look.
Step 4: Add the darkest shade and wallpaper columns
Create veins (lines) on the wall that bear a resemblance to the lines that marble contains. Make sure
not to use overkill. Two or three veins for each wall would be sufficient. Finally, add fake columns
of wallpaper, after completing the painting of the walls.
Step 5: Install or cover the floor
A wood floor is preferable to create your Greek or Roman theme. However, if it is not feasible to
install a wood floor, then use an area rug with a natural fiber (i.e. sisal or j
