Sleep is too important part of life not to be taken lightly. The design of the bedroom should be a reflection of the personality of the one who is charged with energy for daytime accomplishments here.
Bedroom Style – Your Inner World
The determining step is to choose a bedroom style. All further steps will depend on this. And this is not the case when it is worth blindly obeying modern trends. The determining condition is the absolute comfort that you will feel in the place where the soul and body rest. The styles of the bedroom in the interior are so diverse that everyone can choose the best for themselves, based on the overall design of the apartment, lifestyle and personality characteristics of the owner of the home.
A Win-Win Classic. This style is timeless, but saving does not forgive. In order not to look boring or deliberate, it requires a serious approach to materials, a careful selection of decorative elements, and a noble color scheme. Only with this balance you will receive the embodiment of elegance in a single room. Common elements of the classical style in the bedroom are simple lines and mostly light colors, symmetry in the placement of furniture and decor, a touch of luxury expressed in the choice of expensive furniture and fixtures, fabrics and accessories.
Baroque Style – for those who in the classic interior are not enough luxury to emphasize their worth. Valuable woods and rich fabrics, an abundance of catchy decorative elements, a huge four-poster bed and rich colors – all this is Baroque. Please note that such a spectacular bedroom interior requires an impressive area.
Provencal Style – a choice of romantic natures. These are gentle powdery shades and the predominance of simple natural fabrics (mainly linen and cotton) and other high-quality materials: wood and vines, metal in forged parts. This is a cozy rural simplicity, where luxury is not the place, but there is plenty of French charm.
Country is a style of lovers of warmth, simplicity and comfort. The predominance of wood, warm colors, simple natural fabrics, “cellular” prints and patchwork not only takes to old America, but also gives peace. Shining chrome fittings are inappropriate here, it is better to replace it with copper, brass or aged metals. A suitable alternative to the chandelier in this case is a fabric shade, and on the floor there will be a mat or mat by the way. A wonderful accent of such an interior is the fireplace.
High-Tech Style is unusual for a bedroom, but modern energetic and active nature will not agree with this. Especially if the whole apartment looks high-tech. For a good rest, such a person needs only one bed – it will be the main piece of furniture. No other soft and especially decorative objects, black, white and silver colors with some variations and LED lighting will create the desired color.
Loft Style will provide a combination of simplicity and creativity for a modern creative person. The more custom solutions here, the better. The main thing is not to deviate from the course, which involves the formation of ordered chaos, hooligan, but stylish, similar in some places to the utility room, but with a reminder of home comfort. Brickwork in all its manifestations, metal pipes, unexpected shapes and designs will surround the bed – large and comfortable, without interfering with a good rest.
Minimalism is not such a simple style as it seems. Designing a bedroom so that there is nothing superfluous and at the same time present everything you need is a simple and difficult task. Its solution will require the presence of built-in furniture, strict geometric shapes and flat surfaces, simple structures, including beds. This is an option not only for pedantic and ascetic people and opponents of all kinds of excesses, but also for those who are forced to save space in the room.
Oriental Style will be appreciated by adherents of oriental cultures. Japanese, Chinese, Korean motifs give great scope for imagination. A minimalistic approach to the presence of furniture and its form in this case will be diluted with poufs, pillows and other decorative gizmos with accents and colors corresponding to the chosen national color. Or maybe you will choose other, congenial ideas for the bedroom: Scandinavian, Indian, etc.
Your Character’s Palette
The choice of colors depends on the style, but here options are possible depending on personal perception. The color psychology has not been canceled, and when choosing materials for decoration it is necessary to understand whether you can completely relax in such an environment, if you want to change the interior in a few days.
So, for example, brown, despite its warming ability and general demand, is capable of causing melancholy in large quantities, therefore it requires brighter additions. Violet in large doses is depressing, but in combination with other neutral shades it will be magnificent.
Complete relaxation gives green, especially its light tones, and blue. Red and orange have the exact opposite effect. Yellow is the color of joy, and will come in handy for those who need a charge of positive energy in the morning.
Optimal for the bedroom are neutral light or pastel colors. Fans of vibrant colors are recommended their muted versions. You can bring revitalization to a light interior if you wish with the help of textiles, pillows and bedding, decor elements or indoor plants. However, one should be careful with the choice of living vegetation. Some species, such as ferns, emit carbon dioxide at night, and certain types of palm trees can be fed by human energy to the detriment of their well-being.
Space For Relaxation
Modern zoning ideas also help to add some originality even to a normal room. Most often, the zone where the bed is located is allocated. However, the emphasis can be made on other corners of the bedroom. For this, original combinations of wallpaper, plaster and other finishing materials and decorative elements are used, depending on the chosen style, as well as the breakdown of the ceiling with plasterboard and variable coloring, the floor with the help of podiums, carpets and various types of coatings. Of great importance in this matter is the backlighting, as well as the selection of textiles: curtains, screens, canopy, etc. In some cases, niches help to highlight the area of special attention, and niches help diversify the geometry of the room.
Textile Things
Drapes, curtains, draperies, bedspreads, pillows and rugs, in addition to the practical function, also carry a powerful aesthetic. Their choice is no less important than the choice of materials for finishing walls, ceilings and floors. The only difference is that it is easier to replace textile elements, this allows you to periodically change the surroundings of the bedroom without much effort and cost, especially if the main background is based on a neutral gamut. There are also a number of patterns. For example, patterned wallpapers require a plain fabric addition. And vice versa, one-color smooth walls will best complement the bright ornament of products made of fabric. An interesting option is the same ornament of wallpaper and curtains. In this case, it is better if the print is small.
Bedspread on the bed to match the walls – a move that allows you to visually expand the room. The texture of the fabrics will emphasize the chosen style. So, you should give preference to light flying fabrics, if we are talking, for example, about a romantic ladies’ boudoir; expensive silk and velvet in the case of classics or baroque; simple smooth fabrics for minimalism or hi-tech; wool or matting for country, etc.
Each Thing Has Its Place
The question of how to furnish the bedroom is unlikely to arise. However, we will not delve into oriental philosophy and consider how to better arrange interior items in the space of a relaxation room from the perspective of modern design.
The bed is the main character in this play. It must meet all the requirements of comfort and safety, including environmental. For this, bedroom furniture is better to choose from natural materials. The optimal modern solution is to move the bed away from the wall at a distance of at least 70 cm, especially when it comes to a double bed. Only the headboard should touch the wall. This arrangement will visually increase the area of even a small room. To ensure comfort, it should not be placed opposite the front door and reflected in the mirror.
The remaining pieces of furniture – tables and chairs, poufs and wardrobes, sofas and chests of drawers – must play to the beat of the first violin. Of course, if you purchase a headset, such a problem will not arise. But, if the furniture is selected piece by piece, it will require care, based on the style and color scheme of the bed and the general surroundings of the bedroom. However, contrast may be appropriate in the case of zoning the room. Hanging tables and shelves will help to save space. Such a solution will add extra lightness to the interior. It is important to arrange the dressing table perpendicular to the window for optimal illumination. For the same purpose, wardrobes are installed opposite the window or on the side of it. If it is important for you to equip a working area in the bedroom, it is better to fence it off from the main room with a screen, shelving or curtain. After all, no matter what active lifestyle you lead, it is important to have a corner in your home for a good rest.
