Your bedroom is a private place, your sanctuary where you go to relax and clear your mind. Of course a bedroom isn’t a bedroom without a bed. But there is more to that to complete the bedroom. There are dressers, a night stand, closet and anything else you see fit to be in the room. We spend 8 to 10 hours on average sleeping, that’s a lot of time in there. You need the room to be that one place when everything is perfect. This is where bedroom décor comes in.
When picking your bedroom décor the most important part is the colors you decide to use. Most people go for neutral, warm and earth colors as they help in relaxation. Others will go for screaming colors simply because they like them. But it all comes down to personal taste. What do you want to use? Whatever color you decide on for the walls should blend in with everything else in the room. Let the colors of your furniture and fabrics complement each other. Keep away from screaming colors since they will stimulate you rather than help you sleep.
The bed is the focal point of the room. Everything is centered around it. Meaning you need to make sure you pick out the right type of bed. If your bed is too large, the room will look crowded especially if you’re working with a small space. If you use a small bed, it looks awkward with all the empty space around it. You have to choose the right size of bed to fit in without looking cramped or leaving too much free space. Accompany the bed with the right size mattress for comfort as you enjoy a good night’s sleep. Once you have the bed, decorating your room is never a problem.
The walls of your room are an important part in bedroom décor. You can choose to have them plain without any decorative pieces or have wallpapers or artistically painted with your favorite images. You might also want to hang up picture frames, paintings or mirrors. Whatever you decide on should reflect your tastes and should add to the calming effect of the rest of the room.
At times you think about everything else around you and forget about the floor. When it comes to your bedroom, the flooring material is also an important part. Instead of using cold flooring like ceramic tiles, marble or granite, you can choose to make use of laminated flooring, wood, or carpet. Avoid using ceramics tiles as they will only make your floor cold. But if your floor is already cold you can spruce it up by putting a rug or carpet near your bedside.
Lighting also plays a big part in choosing bedroom décor. Instead of using lights in the middle of the ceiling, use lampshades, up lights and pin lights. These type of lightings will give a great mood to your room and can even stand as décor pieces adding beauty to the room when they’re off. Choose lamps that have decorative art on them or are shaped in an artistic way to get this effect.
The bedroom is the one place that should always help you relax no matter how stressed you are. Picking the perfect décor for it will help this. Don’t think of it as a task but as something fun to do. There is no set rule on what to get, just go with your personal taste and have fun while at it.
