When it comes to decorating and designing your home it’s often the public spaces that get the most attention. It makes sense. Guests are most likely going to see the living room and the dining room so those need to be in tip-top shape. The kitchen is a room where you spend a lot of time so that needs to be in good shape, too. This often leads the bedroom to become overlooked. It’s a private space that outsiders don’t often see and most of your time spent inside it is asleep in bed. However, that doesn’t mean it’s any less worthy of proper design! It’s time to stop putting off a bedroom redesign. Here’s what you need to consider when tackling your new bedroom design!
There’s no better place to start a bedroom redesign than with the mattress. Choosing the right mattress is a decision you’ll be living with for a long time, so it’s not to be done lightly. There are so many different types of mattresses available on the market these days, so it’s important to do your research online to narrow down the possibilities before going to a store to test them out. The right mattress also requires the right frame. Think about the way you use your bedroom to help you best decide the type of frame and headboard you need. Do you read in bed? Get an upholstered headboard so that you can recline easily. Choose the bed that matches your lifestyle and habits!
Lighting is an essential element for personalizing your space. It’s also important to consider how you’ll be using light in the room. Again, if you plan to spend time reading, then perhaps you should invest in sconces that connect to the wall a little higher. A chandelier is another excellent choice for the bedroom that can add lots of style. Lighting and nightstands often go hand-in-hand, so it might be wise to choose those items at the same time. A big trend in nightstands is to have a different nightstand on each side of the bed. The asymmetry brings a cool visual element to the room and is another way to personalize each side of the bed.
The bedroom should be a personal space where you feel perfectly at ease and relaxed. This guide only scratches the surface of how you can properly design your bedroom. For the full breakdown and some inspiring photos, check out the full article below!
