After a long hard day, nothing beats the feeling of kicking off your shoes and retiring to bed for the night. As the room where you want to feel at your most relaxed in your home, it’s important to create an environment that you feel comfortable in. Take note of these tips for your next bedroom renovation.
The right size
Be realistic and choose pieces that are an appropriate size for your bedroom. If you’ve already had the dream bed in mind, tell your builder so you can be sure there will be enough room. Comfort is crucial, but so is the proper circulation in your bedroom as well as keeping everything in proportion.
A focal point
Think carefully about one main feature you would like to create in the space. For example, you may choose to highlight a textured wall with feature lighting. A busy bedroom is not conducive to sleep, so create a focal point that has enough impact without overwhelming the senses.
Lighting
Layer different sources of lighting in your bedroom. Be sure to have a mix of ambient, task and decorative lighting. The right lighting temperature will also make your time spent in your sleep space all the more enjoyable.
Flooring
As the first thing you’re stepping onto every morning, you want to pick the right flooring for your bedroom. You want it to be comfortable for bare feet, attractive, durable, easy to maintain, and complementary to the bedroom’s decorating style. If you want thermal insulation and sound dampening, carpeting is the clear choice. However, if you have allergies, you may want to stick to hardwood. What type you choose depends on what you need to be at your most relaxed.
Colour scheme
The right colour scheme will aid a restful night’s sleep and will have an instant calming effect once you step into the room. Soothing neutrals colours work best in bedrooms, such as light greys and browns, beige and cream. Soft pops of colour like blue, green, yellow or pink can enhance the space. Try to avoid bold colours such as strong primary colours as they can be over-stimulating in a bedroom and make it more difficult to relax.
