Tips on How to Design Your Dream Bedroom
The key to designing your dream bedroom is careful planning. There are many ways to create a cosy and indulgent atmosphere by using colour, texture and furniture
Bedroom Design: Colour and Texture
Pick a colour scheme for your bedroom that makes you feel restful and calm. Warm colours like beiges, browns and ambers work better than cool colours. Rich deep colours like reds and purples can add drama and opulence, although these can also make your room appear dark so use them carefully.
Textures can make a bedroom inviting and sensuous. Use cushions and layers of soft throws to pull your colour scheme together and soften your bedroom design.
Bedroom Design: Room Plan
Make the best of the space you have. You don’t need an enormous room, just a well thought out bedroom design. If you have trouble visualising try using an online tool such as Google Sketchup or you could draw your room layout on paper.
The biggest decision is where to place the bed, as that is your largest piece of furniture. Choose furniture that matches the proportion of your room; if you have a vast space then a king size bed is fine, but if your room is petite go with a double as this will make the room appear larger.
Finding the right storage is essential. Built in wardrobes are great because they make it easy to keep your room tidy. Everything can have its place behind a set of stylish sliding wardrobe doors. Sliding doors can be ordered to fit your bespoke measurements, meaning every inch of available space is used. Fitting them is an easy DIY job or you can arrange for them to be professionally fitted.
Your choice of wardrobe doors will set the tone of you entire room. Smaller spaces will benefit from mirrored or reflective doors as they bounce the light around. Quality is also important as the doors will be in regular use and you need them to stand the test of time.
Bedroom Design: Furniture
Finishing the room off with matching bedroom furniture will tie the look together. Bedside cabinets, dressing tables and chests of drawers all add extra storage. Invest in well-made furniture as durability is as important as style.
