Bedroom Design – A Guide to Creating Your Sanctuary

 

With life becoming busier and increasingly hectic it is important to have a quiet space to relax at the end of the day.  Your bedroom should be a sanctuary and have a feeling of calm – this can be achieved with a coordinated space that reflects who you are and your design style.  Does your bedroom décor need a refresh? Check out some of our top ideas to create a great space for you to wind down in at the end of the day.

PRO Designer Tip: Start with selecting your bedding, curtains, throw pillows, and rugs, then decide on the paint color. Since paint can be literally any color, it is easier to match your paint to these items than to hunt for fabrics that match your walls.

Bedroom Décor Essentials 

There are many elements to consider when creating a well designed and cohesive space.  When updating your bedroom design you will want to keep in mind these bedroom décor ideas.

Comfortable Bedding and Linens –

Selecting the right bedding and linens is key to creating a comfortable space. Choose high-quality materials that feel good against your skin for a good night’s sleep, consider natural fibers over synthetic. The design and colors should coordinate and reflect your style, adding layers of texture and comfort. 

Coordinated Colour Scheme

A cohesive color scheme makes sure all elements of the room work together, creating a visually pleasing and balanced space. A well-chosen color scheme can make a bedroom feel more spacious, inviting, and cohesive. A bedroom is a great space to use colour’s that reflect your personal taste – keep the tone soft to have a calming effect.

Illumination 

Both ambient and focused lighting are important in a bedroom as it can light up a dark area or provide a cozy reading spot. Ambient lighting like table or floor lamps creates a soft, overall glow, setting a relaxing mood. Task lighting, such as bedside lamps or sconces are crucial for reading or getting dressed. Accent lighting can highlight decor or architectural features, adding depth and interest to the space. The right mix of lighting enhances the room’s functionality and allows you to adjust as needed.

Furnishings 

Furnishing a bedroom involves selecting pieces that not only fit the space but also provide comfort and reflect personal style. Essential items include a bed, nightstands, and a dresser or wardrobe. Consider the room’s layout and size when choosing furniture, aiming for a balance between function and looks. Choose pieces that complement each other and the room’s color scheme. Remember, less is more; avoid overcrowding.

Stylish Headboard 

A bed should be anchored on a wall and acts as a focal point. A great way to highlight the bed is to have a headboard. There are a number of different options the first is to have a headboard integrated with the bed frame. You often see this with wood frames. Another great option is to have an upholstered headboard which is great for those who like to sit up and read in bed. You can even make your own. Another idea is to enhance the headboard with a painted design on the wall and brining in a graphic element into the room.

Greenery 

Plants infuse life into your space and add a pop of color. If you lack a green thumb, artificial plants can offer the same serene vibe and fill an empty space. Select a plant that fits the scale of the room and its intended spot. Don’t forget a chic pot that enhances your bedroom’s look.

Bedroom Wall Accents

Artwork and Personal Photographs

Using artwork and personal photographs in a bedroom can personalize the space. Art pieces can serve as a source of inspiration and bring in colors and textures that complement the room’s decor. Personal photographs add a sentimental touch, making the bedroom feel more intimate and connected to cherished memories. Together, they create a bedroom that truly feels like home.

Designer Wallpaper

Designer wallpaper adds depth, texture, and personality to the room, allowing for a bold statement or a subtle backdrop. With an array of patterns and colors, it can complement the room’s theme and color palette, creating a cohesive and inviting space. Additionally, wallpaper can be a focal point or serve as a complementary background for art and decor. It’s an excellent way to express your personal style.

Architectural Details 

Wainscoting or decorative moldings adds a touch of classic elegance and architectural interest. It serves both a decorative and practical purpose, protecting walls from scuffs and adding visual warmth to the space. Wainscoting can also create the illusion of height or structure in a room, and when painted in a complementary color, it can enhance the overall design theme and add a layer of sophistication to your bedroom.

Innovative Wall Paint Techniques 

As highlighted in our previous blog, paint is a quick and cost-effective method to transform your space. When selecting colors, consider the mood, saturation, and how it reflects your personality. The bedroom is an ideal place to experiment with deep, atmospheric hues or soft, soothing neutrals.

Paint isn’t just for covering walls; it can also serve as an artistic headboard or a striking visual feature. Envision a painted headboard, a petite mural, or a bold graphic design to add a personal touch.

Always test your chosen paint in your room first, as lighting can significantly influence its appearance.
