Tips to Design a Simple yet Comfortable Bedroom
You can create a simple yet super comfortable bedroom by following the ideas given below. Try these bedroom design ideas that fit your budget to get a peaceful and enjoyable time at home.
Warm tones and Dark shades
As a bedroom is meant for relaxation, we recommend creating an ambience with dark shades and warm tones. So, instead of those catalogue-inspired bright colours, we recommend opting for dark shades of grey, mild tones or gradients of navy and rich earthy tones on walls, in furnishings and décor installations.
If you are sceptical of the dark ambience, you can add a rich contrast with subdued neutral tones. Take help from some expert bedroom interior designer to come up with some themes.
Natural elements for soothing the nerves
The oil lamps and natural lamps such as Himalayan Salt Lamp, Oud Bakhoor, Lavender Lamp and Aromatherapy lamps etc are an excellent addition to your bedroom. Apart from enhancing the aesthetics of your bedrooms, these substances have a natural calming effect on the nerves. Hence, they soothe your senses and help you overcome the daily fatigue in an effortless manner.
Layered Furnishing is a must
One of the best ways to make your bedroom more inviting and more comforting is, installing layered furnishings like throws, blankets, cushions and pillows. Place a thick and lush rug near the bed and have a decorative bed runner in satin or other rich fabric. The layered furnishing adds an element of warmth, but we don’t overdo this to avoid clutter in your bedroom.
Diffused lights for a calming effect
The bright white lights or fluorescent lights have an alarming effect on our brains and give it the signals to be alert. However, the diffused lights have a calming effect and play a role in inducing the lull that leads to better sleeping patterns. Hence, be it the ambient lights or the nightlights; opt for diffused lights in your bedrooms. Regular candles, candles in glass bottles and lights resembling candles are some of the options that you can consider.
Natural and Organic Elements
Wooden beds, seating and furnishings, organic fabrics, rustic décor and natural items such as wood, stone, water, and earthy things such as indoor plants etc are the best additions to any bedroom. All these elements have a natural appeal and rustic charm that makes your bedroom more enticing and cosy.
Comfortable Headboards
While the modern design and décor have bid goodbyes to taper or round headboards for back support, the flat headboards don’t do a commendable job. They are stiff and require a lot of pillows etc for properly sitting on the bed. However, this doesn’t mean that you have to compromise on your comfort. Go for a tufted headboard or a headboard with cushion for back support. An inviting and comfortable bed is a must to create a cosy and comfortable bedroom.
Art that Casts a Spell of Calm and Peace
Hanging art on the bedroom walls is nothing new. But, the art pieces with too loud and chaotic colour palettes are not the best picks for compiling a cosy bedroom. Opt for art pieces that have muted tones of colours and induce calm and peace when you see them. Mono-colours, Chinese black ink paintings, oriental theme art and rustic deep-toned paintings from the mid-century modern era are some of the best choices for a cosy bedroom.
Readers’ Essentials
If you are a regular reader and love your books, then reading before going to bed is something of a habit; right? While it might not be possible to create reading nooks in every bedroom because of the space considerations, you can have its variations. Consult an expert bedroom interior designer to compile a reading nook or side-table décor with books in mind. Hanging shelves, overhead shelves and shelves in-built in a bed – there are various ways to make books a perfect décor essential for your bedroom.
Introduce Patterns
Wallpapers, sheets, cushions, sofa, duvet, beddings, carpets and rugs – compiling all these and any other thing must be done keeping a pattern in mind. Don’t overdo the patterns, but ensuring a reasonable mix of patterns and solid colours allows you to create a masterpiece with just the right amount of texture and warmth.
