Here is a list of 10 useful tips and ideas to create a bedroom that feels like a retreat - stylish, cozy and tailored to your needs
Bedroom is where one spends their time relaxing, reviving and rejuvenating. Whether you want your bedroom to exude a relaxed farmhouse or coastal vibe, reflect the elegance of traditional style, or a fuss-free minimalist look- choose a style that resonates with you.
Bedroom furniture includes some of the largest pieces in any house. Invest in premium quality furniture made of durable materials like solid wood. The color and finish depends on your chosen theme. Set up a coordinated look or curate your own unique ensemble.
A homey bedroom does not mean more clutter. You don’t want your space to look cramped with hoarded accessories and belongings. Let there be ample floor space and a feeling of lightness in the room that promotes calm and relaxation.
Streamline your storage with a strategic use of storage nightstands, a tall dresser or a long dresser depending upon the availability of space, or a tall armoire to make the most of the vertical space. Under-the-bed storage is a wonderful way to keep all your beddings organized.
Nothing beats a bright, sun-lit bedroom. But for the evenings, don’t just depend on the overhead lights or chandeliers. Set the mood with a variety of light sources like bedside lamps, floor lamps, wall sconces and reading lights for the utmost functionality and convenience.
A little touch of greenery in the nook and corners inculcates beauty, happiness, and life to the interiors. Create contrast and movement in your bedroom aesthetic with plants of various types and sizes. You can choose interesting planters to match your personal style.
When bed is the only soft, plush, and comfortable spot in the bedroom, it could overpower the whole room. Balance that softness with throw blankets, flowy curtains or drapes, a plush rug, or a private reading nook with a comfy accent chair or an upholstered window bench.
Bring in harmony and cohesiveness by distributing the visual weight of objects. Symmetry is often the easiest way to achieve a feeling of equilibrium within a space. Balance the size, shape, color and texture of the elements across the room.
Based on your preferred style and theme, you can add interest and character to the walls and ceilings using either subtle or bold colors, textures, patterns or moldings. A feature wall that stands out can make a room feel more inviting and lively.
Decorate your bedroom with pieces that reflect your personality. It could be an artwork you cherish, frames with meaningful quotes or pictures of your family, souvenirs from your favorite trips, flowers from your garden, your favorite books, or gifts from your close ones.
