On average we spend eight hours a day sleeping so a comfortable bedroom is an absolute must in every room. Your bedroom is where you will rest, get ready for your day, unwind from the stresses of work, and get some quality alone time when you need it most. Designing the perfect bedroom can be a lot of fun but with so many different possibilities, it can be hard to know where to start.
To help you out, this article explains our super simple tips for your dream bedroom.
1. Keep it Simple
When decorating your bedroom, a monochromatic color scheme with one accent color is a surefire way of creating a cohesive and beautiful color scheme. There are so many great monochromatic schemes that you can use like different shades of blue. Try light blue whales with splashes of darker blue for curtains, blinds, and bedsheets. Your bedroom is supposed to be a place to unwind and switch off, so you don’t want too much going on in terms of color or it will overstimulate your senses and your brain will be too active for you to get a good night’s sleep. Likewise, avoid too many art pieces or ornaments as these can easily catch your eye just as you are starting to nod off. The best tip when it comes to designing your bedroom is to keep it simple. The simpler your bedroom, the more peaceful it will be.
2. Create an Ideal Sleeping Environment
Ultimately, the function of your bedroom is to provide a place for you to get a good night’s sleep. There are so many vital benefits that come with getting ample quality sleep and so it is vital that you ask yourself how each stage of your bedroom design is conducive to providing you with the best sleep possible. A quality mattress will ensure that you fall asleep quickly and that you remain asleep through all the different vital stages of sleep. The hardness of the mattress is down to personal preference but there are now mattresses that allow you to manually adjust the hardness so that it suits you perfectly. In addition to a great mattress, your bedroom should be dark and quiet, so consider fitting noise-absorbing blackout curtains to ensure that you have the optimum sleeping environment.
3. Keep your Bedroom Clutter-free
You spend so much time in your bedroom getting ready that it can be difficult to keep it clutter-free all the time, but if there is one room in your house that really benefits from a little minimalism, it is your bedroom. Whilst it may seem like a room that can afford to be a little messy because no one but you is likely to see it, your bedroom is supposed to be your sanctuary, and so a cluttered and disorderly bedroom is going to significantly affect your ability to relax. One simple way to ensure that your bedroom remains clutter-free is to just reduce the number of things you actually have in there. Limit your bedroom to the clothes in your closet, a book on your side table, and anything you need for your morning routine on your dresser.
4. Thick Carpets or Rugs
There is no better feeling than stepping barefoot out of bed onto a thick carpet or rug. Whether you live in a cold place or not, there is something about thick carpets that just make a bedroom extra snug and cozy. If you prefer to have hard flooring in your bedroom, at least have a thick rug next to your bed. Not only does it feel great on your feet, but a rug can really pull a bedroom together aesthetically.
5. Create the Mood
Mood lighting is a wonderful way to create a relaxing, romantic atmosphere in your bedroom. Candles have such an old-fashioned, classy feel at night in the bedroom, but if you're not a fan of candles, LED fairy lights will work so well too. At the very least, make sure to install a dimmer switch so that you optimize the light depending on your mood and the time of day. Bedside lamps and subtle spotlighting are other options for creating the perfect space.
Your bedroom is the single most important room in your house and it is a space which you can really personalize. Your bedroom should be cozy, uncomplicated, and more than anything should promote quality sleep every night. A well-designed bedroom can be the ultimate sanctuary to escape to when you need some peace and quiet. Follow these simple tips and start designing your dream bedroom today.
