5 Steps to Your Dream Bedroom
We spend a lot of time in the bedroom and actually, it's the part of the day that matters the most. So this room and everything in it is the first thing we see when we open our eyes in the morning and the last thing we gently wish goodnight. In order for sleep to be sweet and the room to be pleasant for you, you need to put in a little effort.
Draw inspiration
If you haven't heard of Pinterest yet, then now is the time to start discovering it. Using keywords, you'll find tons of inspiring bedrooms that you can save to your wall and which will give you ideas. Believe me, soon you'll discover that your initial ideas are taking on a completely new turn.
Decide on colors
Do you know what's wrong with many homes? Namely, the residents haven't agreed on the color schemes of the rooms. And so it can happen that slightly irritating colors end up together. But if you've reached agreement on the tones, it won't happen that some housemate's bright cherry-red pillow accidentally ends up in your otherwise beautifully light blue bedroom.
Be careful with colors and choose several tones that go well together. This way you won't end up in a situation where the entire room is, for example, uniformly white and even the bed is hard to find.
Invest in a favorite!
Just like in any room, there could also be one most important piece in the bedroom. Whether it's a bed with a fancy headboard or an old wardrobe inherited from grandma, but something that is more special than the others and around which you can start creating the entire environment. Keep in mind that it can also be something smaller, such as an interesting rug brought back from a trip to Morocco or a dresser found in the basement.
Light
The bedroom is one of the few rooms that doesn't cry out for bright light. It's more a room that loves dim ambient lighting. So instead of investing in a fancy ceiling lamp, invest in an interesting floor lamp and install some cozy wall lamps on the wall.
And if your bedroom is blessed with floor-to-ceiling windows, then definitely invest in quality blackout curtains, because this way you can catch excessive light when needed and enjoy more peaceful sleep.
Pay attention to textiles
Now it's time to replace dust-collecting and mismatched bedding with ones that match your room. To create coziness, use plenty of pillows, so-called "bed skirts" and prefer fluffy blankets. The curtains in this room should also be rather heavy and opaque along with some delicate lightweight pairs. Now is also the time to think about a rug - a rug is soft and warm under bare feet and instantly adds a pleasant homey coziness to the room. A rug is also a good way to change the overall impression of a room - light-colored ones convey a delicate mood, while patterned ones can wonderfully reflect your personality.
