The bedroom is a private space most people neglect when it comes to decorating rooms in a house. The bedroom should be treated as an oasis or a welcoming haven from the stresses of the day. The bedroom should be a beautiful space you enjoy spending time in and a calming space to get a peaceful rest. A great bedroom design has a soothing vibe, a tranquil and sophisticated and elegantly appeal. As an interior designer my advice to client is not to overlook decorating their bedroom but rather invest in furnishings that would transform the room into a tranquil retreat.
Read on to find out on tips that would help create a lush cocoon for your bedroom:
Select furnishings that are essential and also proportional to the size of the room. Unless the bedroom is huge avoid purchasing over-scaled furniture. For example, always invest in low-headboards instead of poster beds if the room has low ceilings. Take into consideration the dimensions of the nightstands, armoires, chest and seating you might need. Larger furniture piece in a small room will make the from feel overcrowded. On the other hand, small scaled size furniture pieces would disappear in a large room. When purchasing bedroom furnishings, take the dimensions of the room into consideration and also that of the furnishing to ensure that the various pieces complement each other as well as the space.
Use decorative accessories sparingly. Invest in one of a kind a simple, beautiful accessories and artwork that complement the overall design scheme.
Choose the right color palette for the room. It is best to stay aware from vibrant color palette for bedrooms. When selecting paint colors, select restful color plate in shades that are soothing and monochromatic. Soft greens, blues, and lavender create a subdue effect which is very calming to the soul. Brown and amber on the other hand create a cozy warm effect. To add another point of interest to a bedroom, paint the ceiling in a slightly lighter shade of the wall color. Adding color to a ceiling visually lowers the ceiling and it makes the room feel more intimate, cozy and comfortable.
Similar to any other room, create layers of lighting in the bedroom. Use a ceiling mounted fixture as your ambient lighting. This will illuminate the entire room. If you enjoy reading in bed, a task light, such as a table lamp would provide you just the right amount of light for reading. Lastly, ambient lighting such as wallsconce would add a dramatic impact to the room. Use dimmers to control the dramatic lighting effect in the bedroom.
Select luxurious tactile bedding. Invest in natural fiber linen with high thread count, plush pillows, cozy covers and a tactile throw. For a hotel boutique look invest in hotel-level linens and bed set available for sale in selected hotels like the Marriot.
Dress up the window with beautiful drapery treatment that would add color, texture, pattern and softness into the room. Use drapery opaque fabric that can block out natural light or even better use black out lining in custom draperies to block the suns glare.
