We all put a lot of care into curating our bedrooms. But after the last year, it might also be looking more like a gym or an office than a place of sleep and sanctuary. With so many people working from home due to the lockdown, a lot of people are likely having to work from their bedrooms.
However, creating a separation of work and home when working remotely is important for our health and wellbeing. We have a look at some design tips, from colour schemes to decor, to help you get the bedroom of your dreams.
For an easy and fun project to get you started and an immediate impact on how your bedroom looks, a fresh coat of paint can bring new life to tired looking decor. Consider painting an accent wall behind your bed, selecting a colour that ties into other areas of the room using accessories such as a throw pillow or art.
Often people can get easily overwhelmed when it comes to refreshing the bedroom, thinking they need to start from scratch. Why not start by thinking about colour like layers, by adding pops of colour in a varying shade in small areas, or by using daily interchangeable items.
Begin by using a limited colour palette, and utilise patterns to add depth to the space.
The proper colour palette is essential for creating the best sleeping sanctuary. Certain colour combinations may seem amazing in theory, but in application, disrupt sleeping patterns. Everyone is different, so it’s important to know what works for you
Decorate using objects with stories to tell, such as heirlooms passed down between generations and items picked up from travel or found at a vintage market. Considered prices that are collected with care and well-worn add meaning and context, and will look more thoughtful and intentional.
Nightstands will always be both in vogue and in need for the bedroom. There are countless options to match your personal style and it is encouraged to ‘think beyond the box,’ especially in smaller spaces, as unusual alternatives such as a martini table can sometimes fit a space better than a traditional nightstand.
The right décor is important for creating a cosy and inviting space while you are awake, so it can be important to invest in top quality bedding and mattresses to make an incredible difference to your comfort and to get quality sleep.
High end, handcrafted mattresses are highly recommended for an upgraded sleep experience. Additionally, look for soft textures for every layer – from your mattress to your duvet cover, comforter and sheets. Cosy bedding looks and feels luxurious, and when paired with a high-quality mattress, is both classic and made to stand the test of time.
It need not always require a total refit of the bedroom to make it look fresh and cosy, and simply by refreshing some key elements in the room, you can create the ultimate cosy retreat.
