Your bedroom is more than just a place to lay your head at night; it’s where you go to relax, rejuvenate, and also start your day (hopefully on the right foot). That’s why turning it into a place you really want to be is pretty important, in our opinion.
Here are five essential components to think about when designing your bedroom to ensure that it’s a haven that you can escape to, and not just yet another room to have to clean up.
Thoughtfully Arranged Furniture
How you arrange your bedroom’s furniture affects the room’s flow and use, and its more important than you might think to put some serious consideration into this.
Of course, the bed should be the main attraction and easily accessible from all directions (especially if you share the bed with someone). To create a layout that’s both balanced and practical, try to arrange the rest of your furniture carefully around it. It’s important not to overcrowd your bedroom – focus first on essential items like stylish but practical nightstands on either side of the bed and a spacious dresser.
Luxurious Bedding for Ultimate Comfort
As we’ve already mentioned, your bed is the main event, both visually and in terms of function – it’s called a bedroom for a reason! So, being willing to invest in high-quality bedding can make a huge impact.
Opt for linen or cotton sheets that look good and are breathable and silky soft on your skin – thread count does matter. Pick a good mattress and comfy pillows that support your posture and take into account any issues or preferences you have when it comes to sleep. These considerations will do more than make your bedroom look and feel good – they’ll positively impact your overall health .
Strategic Lighting Design
Lighting is typically the last thing people consider when decorating their homes. Your bedroom’s lighting determines both its ambience and its functionality, so it’s really something you should pay attention to.
Most designers suggest using ambient, task, and accent lighting in a layered lighting approach. Use dimmer switches to create a cozy atmosphere, add a bedside lamp on either side of the bed for reading and make the most of natural light during the day, too, by using sheer curtains or adjustable blinds.
Personalized Decor for a Special Touch
Adding your own unique style to your bedroom is absolutely essential to help you feel at home there.
Add in décor pieces, printed photographs, or artworks that mean something to you or align with your personal style. Try to work with a color scheme or some type of theme to help ensure that your room comes together in a way that feels stylish but comfortable and true to you.
Efficient Storage Solutions
Finally, make sure you keep your bedroom feeling neat and tidy – clutter is only going to leave you stressed and frazzled which aren’t feelings you want to be feeling in your relaxing haven.
Use organization tools and storage solutions to help you manage mess, and implement a daily or weekly cleaning schedule to keep everything in place.
