Where is the place that comes to mind when in need of some personal time for reflection and relaxation after a long day’s work? Let me guess, your bedroom, right? Yes. The bedroom is a special and personal space that should be above all things, comfortable, relaxing and convenient.

Decorating the bedroom to reflect your style can in itself be tricky. But not to worry, we are giving you a few tips on how to deal with this situation.

Details

Pay attention to details, adopt what makes you feel free and comfortable within the space you are creating. The idea is that you find the right balance between relaxation and reflection by making the room suitable for the times you need to rest particularly, as well as when you’re strategizing about life in general.

Theme

Do you want a traditional, modern or contemporary design? Or are you selective about your choice of colour, furniture and materials? Then you have to create a theme that best reflects your taste and style. You may be a bit more creative by combining various features of each design to create your unique style.

Avoid Noisy Colours

If you want to play with colours, achieve this with your furniture and accessories which will help highlight the colour of your wall/wallpapers. It is advisable to use calm and soothing colours that easily rhyme with others. You can try blending earth-tone colours with slightly bright colours or maintain a neutral colour scheme. You can also go for different shades of the same colour to create a mild contrast, depending on the mood and personality you want your room to depict.

Wall Décor

Adopt the use of artworks, wallpapers and decals to create a relaxed mood while your walls still look stylish rather than bare and boring. The colours should accentuate your wall and synch with the other elements of your design.

Simplicity

Less is more. The bedroom should project elegance, style and sophistication. Maintain a consistent colour scheme and pattern, don’t crowd your space with furniture you don’t need (because it looks good), keep the accessories simple. Remember the idea behind a bedroom is creating a spot where you can relax, reflect and be comfortable in.

Space out

Spaces look more attractive when they are free of clutter, always organize your belongings and keep them out of sight. Place items and furniture at a reasonable distance apart from each other for convenient movement; you don’t want to stub your toe when you have to wake up in the middle of the night.

Lighting

Minimize direct lighting as much as possible, use lights by the corners of your rooms instead and have variety in the level of brightness; Use lamp covers to reduce the impact of the light. You can also consider using fancy light switches to highlight your walls.

It’s amazing how a few changes and extra attention to details can make your bedroom look and feel like a Five-Star hotel suite, you can literally bring the vacation experience to your room.
