Bedroom Design Ideas: There are a few basics that are essential for every bedroom which are a dressing area, comfortable sleeping and a place for sitting. Any room can turn into a bedroom when furnished well. To start, look at the space you have for your bedroom and decide where you want to locate your bed and which space you want for the dressing and sitting area.
When you are planning for placement of your furniture you need to think about how you can make the most of your space and where the outlets in the room are placed. In making your design, start with the frame for the bed and see how the placement looks. After you have put your bed together, put on new linens and bedspread or comforter. The nightstand goes next to the bed and then you can step back and assess what you have so far.
The windows are next. Using curtains or drapes that are coordinated with the bed covering, put up your new window treatments. When choosing your textiles, keep in mind the colouring of the walls and floor. Now bring in the dressers. If possible two matching dressers work best providing plenty of space for storage of your clothing. The dresser placement should be either close to the closet or near corners. You want to create a grouping so that all the clothing is in one convenient area of the room.
The space left will be for dressing in front of the closet and dressers. If privacy is an issue using a decorative screen or room divider will do the job. Mirrors are not only functional but also very decorative additions to any room. The mirror in the bedroom will give it depth and provide a way of checking your outfit before heading out for the day.
Most bedrooms now have a computer setup which means you need to place a small computer desk near the outlet for the electrical parts of the computer. If you would rather, this is a nice place for a dressing table with a mirror for doing your hair and applies makeup. Add a small chair and keep it pushed up to the table or desk. Place a couple nice pictures or pieces of decorative art on the wall so they are balanced and pleasing to the eye. Your room is almost ready.
Provided you still have some room, bringing in a small couch or love seat will add a very cozy element to the look and feel of the room. Put this under a window that gets sunlight so that it can be a nice place for reading or just for relaxing. This is a nice place for doing some meditating away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the living space of your home.
When you are working with a smaller sized room it is best to use smaller furniture. This makes the space seem a lot larger than it is. Add an area rug to bring in more interest and a decorative flair to your bedroom. The rug should be a match to the color aesthetic of the room.
If you have carpeting in your bedroom using a small area rug will still be a nice addition. If the carpet has a pattern, use a plain rug or if the carpet is a solid color use a rug that will complement the comforter and drapes. Floral usually goes will with any pattern. Just be sure that the hues and tones of the area rug match that of the room decor. Place a few accessories and candles to embellish the room being careful to match colors and you will have designed a beautiful bedroom.
