In the extremely fast and busy world we live in, everyone yearns for a cosy space where they can retreat to sleep off their exhaustion. And no, people are no longer just settling for a room with a bed; they want the best space possible to relax in and wake up to every morning. That's why we've put together some great tips to help you to give your bedroom the upgrade it needs.
Go Big On Bedding
The bed is arguably the most important aspect of the bedroom, and it certainly has the potential to make or break the room. It is good to invest in good quality bed linen that fits the mood you are going for - a room can go from boho to luxury simply depending on the bed linen you choose to use.
Certainly consider layering your bed with multiple cushions, throws and pillows - this helps create a more inviting bed. Playing around with cushions of different sizes, textures and colours is always a great idea and a great way to emphasise certain design elements or colours in the room. Here's a special tip: Stick with a number under six with your pillows so that your bed looks great without being overly crowded.
Themes and Statements
Basing the bedroom's decor around a theme is a great way to make a statement and make your bedroom your own. The theme could be anything from a single colour you can choose to build your room around to designing your room around a statement piece. Using a single colour in a bedroom can make the space feel welcoming and cosy and in these cases, make sure to play around with textures since this will give the room dimension and life. Working with statement pieces as your theme can include echoing the pattern of your bed linen in different parts of the room or even using an eye-catching wallpaper and draping and accessorising other parts of your bedroom to complement it.
You could even choose to bring the outdoors into your room with your theme! Many Australian designs incorporate the ocean and coastal vibes into rooms. When executed well, you will be able to experience the relaxed environment of the coast even if you don't live near the water.
Drapes and Rugs
Drapes can help make a room feel more warm and comforting, but it is easy to go wrong with hanging them. To make the best out of curtains is to make sure the rod is wide enough so that the drapes don't hang within the window, making the window look smaller. Placing the curtain rod around half to two-thirds of the distance to the ceiling can help your ceiling look high and give the illusion of a larger space. The length of the drapes can also go a long way in shaping the look of the room: too short, and the curtains can make your room look awkward and stubby. The right curtain length can add more character to the room and work with the other elements to create the perfect atmosphere. Rugs, again, are great ways to bring texture into the room. Plus, they are always an indulgence for tired feet at the end of a busy day.
That's all we have for you! We'll leave you with some inspiration to help kick-start your brainstorming for the perfect bedroom for you. Good luck!
