5 Design Steps for Your Private Bedroom

Your bedroom should be a private sanctuary, a haven of peace and calm, away from the hustle of a busy working day and your children. Therefore, the interior should be calm, relaxing, and well-coordinated in colour and style. Bedrooms also serve as storage places for clothes, cosmetics, shoes, and favourite books. Your property should be well organised and compartmentalised with well-functioning furniture. In today’s blog, we want to explore how to achieve these two functions – to set a scene for a well-deserved resting place and keep your stuff organised and handy.

Whether you have your own bedroom or share it with your spouse or want to create a befitting space for your holiday visitors, the rules are the same- you must balance things!

Balance your colour palette

Whether you want to create a brand new sanctuary or overhaul your existing bedroom, coordinate your colours. Stick with neutrals, pastels, and shades of grey. Avoid dramatic colours like red, orange or too much turquoise. Warm colours work better, but mature shades of green and blues also work. However, all design aspects, such as wall paint, window treatment fabrics, and bedding, should be considered. For further insights, please click the button below.

Balance your space

Check how much space you have available and the layout. Is the bathroom en suite, and what do you need to accommodate Where should the traffic be directed? What furniture pieces do you already have or need to buy? Consider the colour and make of your doors and existing built-in wardrobes. Where is the best position for an AC? Where is the right wall space for a TV, mirror or the bed’s headboard? Is there a POP cavity with LED light in the ceiling? If not, consider installing it. It’s an inexpensive way to create good lighting. It must not always be ceramic tiles on the floor! Consider warm, natural wood laminate for the floor covering. Easy to install and change!

Balance your Bedroom style

The style of a bedroom reflects your personality and your needs. It can be a contemporary, modern chick, classic luxury rustic chick and many more. Be careful with mixing too many styles. Some people prefer to buy full bedrooms with all furniture coordinated in appearance, but lately, mix and match has become a powerful tool to accommodate different styles and ages.

Balance your Needs and Habits with the right furniture and accessories

What furniture do you already have or need to buy? Are they functioning well, are the drawers working and easy to open? Check out your stuff. Perhaps you need to unclutter before moving into a new bedroom?

The centrepiece of every bedroom is the bed. A beautiful, upholstered headboard ensures comfort and luxury. Place an ottoman of the same fabric on the footboard of the bed. Ottomans not only look great, you can keep your clothes on for the next day. Never forget to adjust the bed dressing. You will need a mattress protector, a sizable duvet and its cover, sleeting pillows, and throw pillows. If space allows, you may want to consider a couch or occasional corner table in your room.

For the ladies, create your vanity corner as a private makeup place. Update your bathrobes and towels; colour coordinate them with the en suite bathroom and your bedroom colours.

If you want to watch TV at night, create a feature wall opposite the bed. Clad the feature wall with beautiful wallpaper! Last but not least, tie in all the elements with a large, cosy rug.

Well, however, it is not only about aesthetics. Check out your old mattress. An ergonomic, new mattress is essential for a good night’s rest. AmbienteSoft carries a large variety of mattresses of different sizes and strengths. For further insights, please click the button below.

Balance your light

Bedroom lighting is one of the most crucial design elements. A bedroom should have smooth, indirect light from lamps and natural light from windows. Nightstand lamps are for reading. A well-designed, easy-to-clean curtain for the day and the night will keep unwanted views out and ensure a healthy sleep.
