How to decorate your bedroom? Inspirations and ideas
Designing a bedroom is a demanding task, because the interior must be created in such a way that it is beautiful, functional, not overwhelming and becomes a kind of asylum where you can soothe your nerves and regenerate your body. A colourful bedroom for a child or one in a favourite style is also a place that simply has to be beautiful and practical.
Where do you start when arranging a bedroom?
The bedroom should be the cosiest interior in the whole house and the bed should be comfortable. When decorating a bedroom, it's a good idea to start with the flooring. The best choice would be one made of a natural material such as wood or light-coloured panels. Another element of bedroom design is the colours of the walls and beyond. Warm earth colours that are versatile and muted, such as beige or white, will work best.
Once the floor and colours have been chosen, it is time for the most important piece of furniture, the bed. When looking for the right one, it is worth first considering whether it should have a high headrest, whether it should be king size or smaller, and whether it should have ornaments such as decorated or coloured legs. If it's a bed, it should also have a mattress of the right thickness. When we have chosen the bed , it is time for the remaining furniture - wardrobe, chest of drawers and bedside table.
Bedroom interior lighting should be in a yellowish warm colour, not tiring to the eyes and helping to create a moody atmosphere. Accessories also help to give the interior a beautiful and individual character, making the bedroom a place of relaxation and soothing sleep. Bedroom design can also be 'embraced' according to the principles of feng shui and complemented with a beautiful classic dressing table.
Bedroom furniture should be beautiful and functional, so a well-organised wardrobe or chest of drawers with capacious drawers is a must have. Hanging shelves and pretty organisers, e.g. wicker, glamour or Scandi style, are also great. Blinds or curtains will help to create an atmospheric ambience and regulate the amount of light coming in.
Bed - the most important element in the bedroom
When buying a bed for your bedroom, there are a few things to bear in mind. The first is to decide whether an upholstered bed or a wooden bed. The latter is the most common choice, as it is the easiest to match with a mattress. Upholstered beds, on the other hand, are easier to match with the chosen style.
When choosing a bed , it is also worth paying attention to the mechanism of its unfolding. Although this solution is less and less frequently chosen, it will work well in a bedroom with an irregular shape. In a small bedroom , a bed with a bed linen container will work well. A bed with pull-out drawers is also a good solution that will not overwhelm the interior , and a model with built-in LED lighting will look spectacular.
When choosing a bed , it is also worth paying attention to its headboard. It is the element of the bed that allows you to increase the comfort of its use and is also a decorative element of the interior. Another important aspect when looking for the right bed is the frame, which has an impact on the lifespan of the bedroom bed. It keeps the mattress stable, which ensures a comfortable sleep.
The most commonly chosen types of beds for bedrooms are:
- wooden,
- upholstered,
- metal,
- continental.
Make use of the walls above the bed
Arranging a bedroom also means making use of the walls above the bed. Depending on your needs and preferences, there could be a framed print, a glamour or art déco style mirror, a spider web of family photos or a hanging bookshelf or a wall lamp providing soft light. Any of these solutions will help to create a unique atmosphere in the bedroom and add to its charm.
How to arrange a small bedroom with a wardrobe?
Arranging a bedroom with a wardrobe may not be an easy task when the interior has an irregular shape. However, it can be managed with a few tricks. Designing a bedroom with a dressing room in a small space requires proper space planning.
The first idea for arranging a bedroom with a dressing room is to divide it into two rooms with a wall. This is a modern solution, which is becoming increasingly popular. The bedroom area can be separated from the wardrobe area by a very high bed headboard or a bookcase.
The second way to create a bedroom interior with a wardrobe is to separate the two zones with a sliding door. You can hide the wardrobe behind a wooden door or highlight it with glass. The choice depends on your taste and whether you like transparent interior design elements.
A third suggestion for creating a bedroom and dressing room in one room is to place the clothes area behind the bed. This solution is ideal for those who like modernity and those who like designer touches. When looking for a bed for a half-wall behind which the wardrobe will be hidden, it is worth choosing a model in a contrasting colour, such as Inspire or Alle with a cut-out headboard.
Further inspiration for creating a bedroom and dressing room in one room is to use an alcove or simply a dressing room open to the bedroom or to create a bedroom in the loft and use the slants.
Designing a small bedroom
Designing a small bedroom can cause a lot of problems, but it all depends on what space you have. A small bedroom can be created in such a way that it also becomes a place where stylish accessories appear. Besides, it is worth using a few tricks to enlarge the interior, e.g. choose a palette of light colours. In addition, you can leave a few centimetres of white strip under the ceiling to optically enlarge the interior. Another conundrum when arranging a small bedroom is choosing a bed. The best would be one with dimensions of 90 × 200 cm such as Lapis.
Arranging a white bedroom should become what makes the interior beautiful and functional. A great idea would be Scandinavian style or any other style based on light colours. In addition, you can hang a mirror in the bedroom , which will give the room depth and also optically enlarge it.
Arranging a bedroom with a wardrobe
A bedroom with a wardrobe is a functional interior, which will provide enough space and become a homey, beautifully decorated asylum, where you can regenerate. How to arrange a small bedroom with a wardrobe? A built-in or corner wardrobe is perfect for a small interior. Chests and beds on legs such as Key or Arese are also a good idea.
Small bedrooms should also be well lit and decorated so as not to create an overwhelming effect. It is a good idea to provide several light sources, e.g. one main light and several smaller ones or LED spotlights. In small bedrooms, it is also a good idea to use the wall behind the bed and decorate it with, for example, a hanging bookshelf.
What accessories should I choose for my bedroom?
Accessories are something that will add charm to any bedroom and help to create a beautiful and cosy interior. When looking for the right ones, you should go for those that match your chosen style. A must-have in every bedroom should be:
- cushions - Bubble or Sanday,
- soft blankets,
- bedside lamps with beautiful lampshades,
- rugs by the bed - Andy or Mike.
It is also worth remembering that every bedroom should be decorated in moderation and full of delicate accents conducive to regeneration and tranquillity. Each of these interior features can be personalised and given an individual character. It all depends on your tastes and chosen style.
