The ideal bedroom should above all encourage relaxation and sleep. Consider these factors when planning your bedroom to effectively create a calm and relaxing environment.
Calming colours
Cooler hues work best in the bedroom because of their calming effect. Think blue, lilac and cool shades of grey. These can be incorporated in paint, wallpaper and furnishings.
Circulation
Make sure your bed is positioned properly. It should be one of the first things you see when you walk into a room. If your windows overlook a fantastic view, you can also have your bedroom face them as a focal point. Ensure that you leave enough room around your bed so that you aren’t bumping your shins or stubbing your toes when getting in and out of it.
Lighting
Soft, soothing lighting is ideal for a bedroom. Having light fixtures on a dimmer is also a smart move since it lets you regulate the amount of light. Adjustable sconce lighting is a great option because it allows you to keep your nightstand neat and tidy, and it can be positioned to provide optimal lighting for reading in bed.
A striking headboard
You may want to consider bringing in interest via your headboard. This is an opportunity to express your creativity or create custom storage solutions.
Window coverings
Consider blackout shades for bedroom windows. There are many options for blackouts that filter enough light so you can wake up in the morning naturally to sunshine yet provide sufficient privacy during the day.
