The bedroom is unquestionably one of the most important rooms of any home, serving as a refuge from the stresses of the rest of the world. It’s a place to relax, contemplate the world and prepare for important events during the day, and of course to sleep during the night.
So, what can be done to give your bedroom a makeover if you feel that it’s been looking a little dull lately? From painting it in the right colours to selecting a visually striking and practical wardrobe, here are some of our top tips.
Paint those walls!
Overly bright, or for that matter overly dark colours are not very suitable for most bedrooms. After all, you need your bedroom to be a relaxing place, which is why many people choose neutral colours – although white may be a little boring. Instead, you might want to try cream or a light blue, green or yellow. Such light colours help to make a room seem bigger, with darker ones having the opposite effect.
Get tidying up!
Too much clutter isn’t exactly relaxing for most of us, which is why it’s a good idea to invest in some stylish containers for things that you want to keep – while discarding anything that is otherwise unnecessary. You’d be amazed by the amount of bare floor space that you manage to make available, simply by taking advantage of simple space-saving techniques.
Refresh your bedding
Buying new bedding may be a seemingly obvious step, but it is also definitely an effective one when you research well to ensure maximum comfort. Remember to choose bedding that is a good aesthetic match to other areas of the bedroom, such as the walls and blinds. This will give your bedroom that all-important coherent look as part of a suitable wider theme.
Have you made the right choice of wardrobe?
One great way of saving space is buying a wardrobe that suits the shape of your room. For example, if there are various recesses and alcoves in your room, you may want to invest in a fitted wardrobe that makes the most of every inch of available space. If, however, your room has flat walls, you may prefer a free-standing wardrobe.
Don’t forget, too, that wardrobes are available in many different woods, finishes and designs. Such a great amount of choice allows you to find a wardrobe that perfectly matches the rest of your bedroom décor.
