Whether you consider the fundamental rules of Feng Shui or the principles of contemporary interior design, the rules surroundings bedroom remodelling remain largely unchanged. Experts from all walks of life tend to agree that a bed should always remain the focal point of your bedroom, regardless of layout or the exact size of the room at your disposal. However, while this may be an accepted piece of wisdom, bringing this vision into life is more complex if the space you’re working with is difficult and can require a certain amount of flair and forethought.
3 Ways to Make your Bed the Centre of your Bedroom
- Give careful thought to the location of your Bed
Even small or compact bedrooms will have a defined layout, and it’s crucial that you optimise the placement of your bed as a priority when remodelling the space. While it may be tempting to place your bed in the middle of the room to create a focal point, you will need to make sure that you do not compromise the use of space and impact negatively on storage and comfort. Strive to place your bed in a prominent position against a narrow wall while paying careful attention to the amount of floor space available.
- Invest in a Bed with a Headboard rather than a Divan
In recent times, modern trends have seen the popularization of divan style beds in the UK. These couch-like, spring-based beds are extremely compact and comfortable but lack the grandeur and presence of four-poster fixtures or those with a headboard. If you intend to make your bed an integral part of your bedroom’s design, it is well worth investing in the latter type as these can help bring together a design scheme and add a strong sense of character to any interior space.

- Adorn your Bed with Compatible soft Furnishings
On a final note, the ways you choose to accessorise and furnish your bedroom will have a huge effect on its visual impact. While at its simplest a bed is essentially the most functional item of bedroom furniture, this does not mean that it cannot be the hub of your design theme: choose a bedspread which complements or contrasts with the color of your walls or wallpaper design, and embellish with high quality soft furnishings in order to add colour, texture and depth. Whether you follow the modern trend for purchasing an excess of oversized pillows or add silky and stylish blankets, you can transform the look of your bed and distinguish it as a central design feature in your space.
There is nothing like a well crafted bed with luxurious accessories to color your world!
