Your bedroom is the place where most of your day is spent. So, it is always wise to spend a little extra time, money, and effort, while redesigning your room.
Honestly, we have come a far way, from what decorating bedrooms in the nineties meant, to what they mean now. Nowadays, alongside aesthetics, utility also plays an equal role. So, if you have a bedroom designed in the 90s, it definitely needs a makeover.
Bedroom interiors must be completely personalized i.e., you must list down your favorite colors, themes, feelings, and aesthetics.
But hey, don’t blindly follow someone’s advice but you must definitely stick to some basic rules which will make this process a lot more easier. Let’s dig in!
- Read about color theory
Bold primary colors might look good for the rest of your house, but for your bedroom, soothing shades and monochromatic tones not only appear calming but also help you unwind mentally.
Understand that colors aren’t only important for aesthetics, but they are also important for the impression they create on individuals.
For instance, you can create a calm and serene environment with gentle hues of blue, lavender, or green. For coziness and comfort, go for rich jewel-toned hues. Tone down a few layers of your favorite colors, to level-up your bedroom game.
- Redesign the ceiling
Bedroom interiors have taken a wild turn in the last decade. Earlier, most rooms had blank white ceilings. My question to you is: when you lie down on the bed, why would you want to see a blank surface when you can make it so much more interesting?
So, buddy, it’s time to give your bedroom ceiling a makeover, if you still haven’t. For starters, you can paint the ceiling with a slightly lighter version of the walls’ color. You can also add a false ceiling with fancy lighting in it. Or you can also consider ceiling stencils or wallpapers.
Further, you can always consult an expert and seek more innovative ideas.
- Invest in the right bed sheets and linens
Is there a bedroom, without a bed? Of course, not. So, make sure your bed looks appealing from afar. Apart from everything else you do in your bedroom; you need to invest in beautiful and luxurious fabrics for your bed.
My friend who recently moved abroad and I recommended her to buy satin sheets in Australia and she was greatly satisfied by it. It not only makes her bed visually appealing but is also super-comfortable to rest on.
- Do not overlook the windows
If you’re giving your bedroom a makeover, make sure you don’t miss any corner of the room, not even the windows. The idea is to create a beautifully dressed window. You can accessorize it with sheer soft curtains, alongside opaque roller blinds.
Further, the windows must be designed in a manner that helps maintain privacy at night, and also let morning sunlight come in. So, if you are designing your bedroom from scratch, make sure that the windows in your bedroom are towards the east direction.
- Install layers of lighting
Every good-looking bedroom has various layers of lighting. One layer to focus on ambient lighting, for the entire room, small lamps to focus for reading and other activities, and accent lighting to wash walls of soft illumination.
Make sure some lights in the room are movable. This will help you to adjust it depending on your needs.
- Keep things simple
Another definition of a modern bedroom is simple. Complex interiors will defy your whole purpose of giving your bedroom a modern makeover. So, keep it simple and silly! (maybe not silly!)
Remember, anything OTT will make your room appear stuffed and leave no room to walk around. I’m sure you don’t want that.
Over to you…
So, these were a few of the many pointers to redesign your bedroom with a modern taste. You can start with this and keep adding more pointers on the way like more storage space, the right furniture, and so many more.
But what is most important is, to create a place you can cherish, relax and unwind. Let your bedroom be a space where you read, rest, sleep, and of course share some intimate moments with your beau! 😉
