Bedroom Makeover Tips
Whether you have just shifted to your new home or want to give a makeover to your old master bedroom, you need some exclusive ideas to make your bedroom design stand out. Having a spacious bedroom does not necessarily mean that you need to fill it up with an array of furniture. It only needs to combine all the bedroom designing elements together to create an ambience. Bedroom has to be warm and cozy to ensure good night’s sleep.
Decorate in Style
If you choose to decorate your bedroom by yourself instead of hiring a professional interior designer then you need prior research work. Giving your bedroom a new look is not a tough job provided you have some creative ideas up your sleeves. You will find myriads websites ready to offer innovative interior design ideas. Traditional or contemporary,oriental or western or simply eclectic – pick your style first. Decorating by style reflects good taste and artistic sense. It will also help you proceed in a systematic way while choosing furniture,fabrics and other decorative items for your bedroom.
Color is the Key
Choose colors for your bedroom wisely as colors play a key role in creating the desired mood. If you want to make your large bedroom feel comfy and warm you need brighter shades like orange, lemon yellow or rosy pink. You can think of contrast coloring schemes as well. But for smaller rooms it is advisable that you do not go overboard with colors. Lighter and cooler shades like cream, pale blue or light purple are just fine with small bedrooms.
Furnishing Fundamental
It is needless to say that your bed is the focal point in your bedroom. It is better to divide the bedroom into different zones especially when you have a large one. It makes the entire decorating process easier. Large bedrooms with wide windows require larger furniture while smaller bedrooms call for space saving furniture and low-lying beds.
High king size bed with double mattress and fluffy pillows will perfectly fit in to a large picture. Position the bed against the wall in a way so that anyone entering the room cannot see it from outside. In this respect a well-decorated hotel room can be a good inspiration for designing a bedroom. Place a chic looking chest or cabinet at the foot of the bed to keep television on top of it. It also adds little more privacy to the sleeping area.
Choose large wardrobe and wall-mirrors for the dressing zone. Small wooden desk with table lamp and set of cushioned chairs in a corner can ideally create a cozy reading or lounging area in your bedroom. When it comes to selecting bedside tables and lamps go for round shaped ones rather than square ones if you go for traditional style. Modern bedside lamps come in varied shapes and size to choose from.
Textile Texture
Pick fabric wisely for your bedroom as it relates to comfort as well as privacy. Bedroom windows need double layers of curtains. Long and heavy drapes are to bar the sunlight and cold. Thin light-colored linen curtains ensure privacy while allowing ample sunlight during daytime.For pillow and cushion covers choose fabrics with attractive colors and fine texture. Bedroom is all about rest and comfort. Wide range of fabrics with different textures and price range are available in the market. So,look for variety of fabrics as much as possible before you select one for your bedroom.
Use your imagination and bedroom design ideas to create your own style statement. Hang intricately designed tapestries or a colorful painting with soft wall-lamps focusing on it at the head of the bed. You can not buy anything that appeal to your senses. Choose pieces of art work and tapestries depending on the mood and style of your bedroom design. Placing potted plants by the bed or window brings soothing touch of nature as well. Flowers and floral art works also add to the romantic charm of a bedroom. To be precise,a good amalgamation of your creativity and interior decorating tips given by experts is sure to create the spark in your bedroom decor.
How to Design a Bedroom
Are you the sort who sees your bedroom as nothing more than a place where you put your bed and sleep, or do you see your bedroom as your own special space? For many a bedroom is a place that is theirs alone and has to reflect their sense of who they are. They take great delight in their bedroom decor and selection of bedroom furniture and in particular the bed they choose to sleep in, and great delight in the overall feel of their bedroom as an intimate place.
If you’re one of the former then this article probably won’t appeal much. If your bedroom is a place where you sleep and get dressed, and that’s the extent of your attachment to your bedroom, then who cares what it looks or feels like?
But if you love being in your bedroom you’ll probably love decorating it, taking your time choosing your bed and your bedding, lying in in the mornings to take delight in your surroundings and generally feeling good in your own special room. This article is written for you.
Refurbishing is all the rage now, and for many refurbishing their bedroom is high on their list. So if you’re designing your bedroom new, or refurbishing, here’s a few things you might like to think about before you start buying at the store.
1. Have a plan. It’s easy to see a great bed, love it, buy it and then wonder what else you’ll put with it to make it fit in with the room. Before you buy anything for your bedroom you need to decide on a few basic things and preferably write down a decoration plan.
What theme is your bedroom to be? For a child it might be a Winnie the Pooh theme for example, for an adult it might be a color or a period. Or perhaps a certain style of furnishing. You need to decide on an overall theme for your bedroom decorations, then select your bed, bedding and general bedroom furniture to go along with that theme. Including paint color and carpet color of course. Write it all down and plan it all before you start buying.
2. Cost and budget. It’s usually not a cheap matter doing a total bedroom refurbishment, or setting up a new bedroom from scratch. You need to know how much you have to spend and how much each item costs. No point in buying that wonderful four poster bed you’ve always wanted then being unable to afford the right bedding to make it look great. As well as the bed your sheets, duvet cover, pillows and so on all need to fit in with your theme, so you need the budget to stretch to buying it all, including the right carpet and paint and general bedroom furniture as well, bedroom curtains included. Write down your budget as well as your theme, price everything before you start buying and make sure you know firstly what every item costs before you start and also that the total cost is within your budget.
3. Size. You need to know exactly what size your bedroom is. This needs to be included in your plan. It’s no good deciding on that wonderful four poster bed (that fits within your budget) and that beautiful dressing table, and oh those blanket boxes that look so good in timber, and so on, then finding that it’s such a squeeze fitting it all in that it’s almost impossible to move around your bed. Many people have been caught in the trap of buying then finding that the wonderful bedroom they planned to have is almost unusable because there is so little space left after adding the bedroom furniture.
4. Getting it all into the bedroom. For many this isn’t an issue, but for some it is. If your bedroom is up the stairs, around the corner and through a narrow door then you have to consider how you are going to get all that bedroom furniture in. For most pieces of furniture such as dressers and tables, it’s usually possible, but it’s also possible to buy large items, like that wonderful four poster bed, and finding that you just can’t get it through the door. Before you buy the four poster bed make sure you take your measurements of things like widths of your bedroom doors and any other squeeze points that will need to be negotiated to get the bed in.
Find out how it breaks down for example, or if it even does, and make sure you know exactly how it will go in before you buy that wonderful four poster.
For those who love their personal bedroom space having a well designed, well thought out, well decorated and well furnished bedroom is a delight. Make sure you do your basic homework before you start buying or you may find that your special bedroom is not such a delight. Get it right and you’ll love it.
