A bedroom should be designed and decorated for SLEEP! Because sleeping is so imporant there shouldn't anything getting in the way of it... no excuses! Thus, every element of the room is essential to ensuring that the ambience is cozy and tranquil. Below are some design tips to help you get your bedroom under control and ready for you every night!
Tip #1- According to designer Ammie Kim, neutral, medium tones of paint colors are the best for bedrooms. If you are usually attracted to bold colors than use them somewhere else, such as the living room where all the action takes place. If you simply can't do without those bold colors, than you can even take your favorite bold color(s) and use toned-down versions of it for accent pieces in the bedroom.
Tip #2- Choose artwork that makes you feel relaxed to reinforce the feelings associated with rest and sleep. Romantic and scenic art pieces, abstract art, or even stenciled words such as "dream" are good options.
Tip #3- Use simple furniture layouts with the bed placed alongside the window and not directly across from it, if there is one in the room. This layout allows you to enjoy the view (if there is one), while at the same time blocks you from the light coming in if it is too bright. Additionally, create a furniture layout that is spacious. Do not clutter the room with furniture and accessories, and don't over decorate the room.
Tip #4- If nature makes you feel warm, relaxed and refreshed than use it to your advantage. Find ways to bring nature indoors and right into your room. For example, use a color palette that replicates the outdoors such as the beach, sand and blue tones. You can even purchase scented candles and oils in order to bring the smells from nature into the room. Finally, you can utilize artwork that showcases outdoor scenes.
Tip #5- Tap into your sense of touch when choosing linens and other fabrics. Find high thread count linens that are used in high-class hotels. My favorite is the Hotel Collection because they have the most luxurious and comfortable bed linens and towels.
