What color range should you choose?
Most often bedroom design is performed in light neutral colors: white, gray, beige. The number of shades of each of these colors allows you to create even a 100% monochrome design, but it still won't look boring.
Calm palette suitable for rooms of all sizes and shapes, fits into all modern styles.
Second most popular - pastel scale... For bedroom design, choose cool shades (blue, green) - these look great in eastern and southern rooms. If there is little light in the bedroom, warm powdery colors are more appropriate.
Design idea using saturated, bright or tones - controversial. But if you choose your favorite color in a muted version, this bedroom is also suitable for sleeping and relaxing. Dark shades work best: emerald, indigo, sapphire, malachite, plum, eggplant.
Features of zoning
When planning a design project, especially small apartment, designers are trying to expand the functionality of the bedroom and place it in addition to the bed storage area, work, make-up.
In order not to disturb the intimacy of the sleeping area, it must be separated. To do this, use:
- Visual tricks... They make different wall or floor finishes, use different shades in the design, zoning with light.
- Level difference... You can build complex structures on the ceiling or floor. The most effective trick in bedroom design is podium bed... Raising the bed, you immediately designate the sleeping area, and in the remaining space you can place a desk or wardrobe.
- Physical separation... The two previous methods were more visual, but in the interior of a bedroom (especially a spacious one), physical ones can also be used: stationary or portable screens, curtains, partitions... A work or dressing table located behind the divider does not interfere with the rest on the bed.
What is important to know about finishing?
In terms of renovation, the bedroom is one of the simplest rooms. There is no aggressive humid environment, high traffic, so there are no restrictions on the choice. The main criterion there will be no functionality or practicality, but comfort, aesthetics.
Walls
Bedroom design starts with wall decoration... To do this, use:
- Paint... Smooth painted walls have one big plus: they can be repainted, changing the environment without much effort.
- Wallpaper... Huge assortment wallpaper includes monophonic, colorful, smooth, textured models: it is not difficult to find a bedroom for your interior.
- Wood... Wood planks are often used in modern design, beams, panels.
- Decorative plaster. Large selection of textures allows you to use this material both in a classic interior and in a loft-style bedroom.
- Brick. Imitation brickwork (or real masonry, if you live in a brick house) is a technique that will probably never go out of fashion.
Important! Pay particular attention to the wall behind the headboard: Often the focus is on this surface. As a wall decor, you can choose a photo wallpaper (for small bedroom good with a panoramic effect), textured panels, panels.
Ceiling
In bedrooms with low ceiling heights, leave the surface smooth, white, and solid. Can be used glossy stretch fabric or even mirrors to visually raise the level. If the height allows and there is such a need, you can build multi-level structures from gypsum board.
Floor
The interior of the bedroom is one of the few where you can or even need to use carpet! Walking on a pleasant pile with bare feet is much more comfortable than even on a warm tree.
Don't have time to take care of your flooring? Consider more user-friendly materials: parquet, laminate, linoleum, quartz vinyl tiles.
The nuances of choosing and arranging furniture
The queen in bedroom design is the bed. It is recommended to start choosing furniture from this part, picking up the rest of the items already for it.
When choosing a bed size and design should be considered. In the first case, estimate how many people you should count on the sleeping bed, as well as the dimensions of the room itself. So in a small bedroom for two you can get by with a 140-160 cm wide bed, in a spacious one it is better to give preference to the Queen size or King size models (180-220 cm).
As for the appearance, the beds are metal, wooden, with soft headboards, as well as hovering and suspended. Choose a model that you like and that suits your style.
Next in line - bedside tables... They can be in the classic form of pedestals, tables, hanging consoles or shelves.
Most often, the interior of a bedroom is not complete without wardrobes: it is convenient to store clothes, bedding, and other necessary things in them. There are two main versions: closet on one side of the entrance or a built-in modular wardrobe with a niche for a bed.
Improvement recommendations
Bedroom design even in minimalism style not without textiles: pillows, bedspreads, blankets, curtains, carpets - all this makes the interior more comfortable. To achieve a cover design, switch to a multi-level bedding: a blanket, a bedspread, a blanket, several decorative pillows.
Advice! For bright roomscurtains recommended Blackout: When closed, they block sunlight and promote long, sound sleep.
As for the rest of the decor, it is permissible to use in bedrooms:
- posters, paintings, photographs in frames;
- vases with flowers or dried flowers;
- live plants in pots;
- decorative figurines.
Organization of lighting
Light is an important detail in every room. But if in the kitchen, in the living room, in the bathroom, in the corridor, it should be bright, then in the bedroom, on the contrary, it should be muted and chamber.
For this, in addition to chandeliers in the design, it is imperative to use spotlights: sconces, suspensions, table lamps, floor lamps. One lighting device must be placed on each side of the bed, the rest are placed in the necessary zones: on the desktop, make-up, in the area with an armchair, etc.
Decorative lighting is equally important: lamps, garlands, artificial or natural candles create a unique atmosphere.
In what style is it better to arrange?
The choice of style is a purely individual matter. Someone likes modern minimalistic directions, someone prefers rough industrial, someone stops at restrained classics.
Modern design can be either restrained or calm, for example, snow-white scandi, and brighter - with rich shades in decoration, textiles.
Relaxed loft in the bedroom also looks harmonious: a brick wall, an iron bed and tables, suitable lamps, decor.
When registering rooms in a country house or in the country take a look at the village directions: country, provence, chalet. Abundance of wood and textiles make the space cozy, relaxing.
For those who love luxury, palace styles are suitable: art deco, baroque. Classic design is more restrained, neoclassic is restrained modernity.
Beautiful examples for inspiration
A bedroom is not necessarily a centered bed layout. By sliding the bed against the wall, you free up space for something more interesting, such as a home library with a large bookcase and comfortable chair for reading.
Bedside tables can also be dispensed with in favor of, for example, a cabinet in a ledge or chest of drawers - it is more spacious, functional.
When decorating a sleeping room, do not chase after fashion or fleeting trends: rely on timeless universal techniques, then the bedroom will look relevant for many years to come.
