How to make your bedroom cozy?

Convenient storage space

This is one of the most important points in setting up a sleeping room. A well-thought-out storage system is a guarantee of order, because if things are in their places, the room looks neat and attractive. The most ergonomic option, in the absence of dressing room, - built-in wardrobes up to the ceiling. They fit more clothing and create a cohesive interior.

But freestanding cabinets can look appropriate and compact if they are equipped with mirrored facades or painted in the color of the walls.

Dark bulky models deprive the bedroom of coziness if they are located immediately upon entering the room, are not hidden by a niche and do not merge with other furniture.

Comfortable bed

Convenient bed ensures healthy sleep, allows you to sleep, rest and feel vigorous throughout the day. For diseases of the spine, it is recommended to acquire a hard mattress; average hardness is optimal for a healthy person, and soft beds are most suitable for adolescents 8-15 years old.

Calm colors

Often, neutrals are chosen for decorating a bedroom. light shadesthat help you relax and tune in to sleep. Designers usually do not risk using bright flashy colors - they quickly get bored, unconsciously irritate and invigorate instead of calming.

The general trend does not mean that the pastel palette is the only correct option. To create a more intimate atmosphere, the bedroom can be painted in deep colors (emerald, indigo, burgundy), but it is important to take into account the amount of light entering through the windows. On the north side, a dark room will appear even darker.

If you like rich colors, decorate one wall behind the headboard with colored paints or wallpaper. Such an accent will liven up the interior and will not look intrusive.

Availability of natural light

If the sun rarely peeks into the windows and the apartment is dark, the bedroom may look dull and even dull. White walls with a warm undertone will help to add coziness to the room.

White surfaces reflect light and the room will appear more spacious and serene. And so that nothing obstructs the light, move the furniture away from the window and hang roller blinds instead of fabric curtains.

Indoor flowers and plant motifs

Fresh greenery is a wonderful decoration for a bedroom. She refreshes the interior, bringing natural notes to it. Houseplants purify the air, reduce stress and add volume to the room. And how pleasant it is to sleep under the crowns of tall or curly plantings!

Psychologists say that exactly green color has a beneficial effect on the human psyche. If you do not like home flowers or do not want to care for them, choose unpretentious copies or add images with floral ornaments - paintings, posters or wallpapers as decor.

Local lighting

A ceiling chandelier, which is responsible for general lighting, is not able to create a cozy atmosphere in the bedroom.

In order to feel calmer at the end of the day, you need a warm, dim light. These can be suspensions on both sides of the headboard, wall sconces or a floor lamp, which is especially appropriate in a room where a reading corner is organized.

The easiest way to organize local light is to put on bedside table a lamp with a shade or a bending lamp with a directional beam.

Consider whether the light source is suitable for reading and whether it will not be too bright for night climbs. If necessary, give preference to a product with an adjustable wattage - a dimmer.

Feeling of spaciousness

Even in small bedroom you can get rid of the clutter effect if you choose the right furniture - compact, hanging or with thin legs. No funds to upgrade? There are several ways to make a room less cramped:

• Clutter up the premises by getting rid of unnecessary things. Who knows, perhaps these items will be needed by other people who are willing to pay for them.
• Paint massive furniture (wardrobe, shelving) in a light shade. This will not only transform the interior, but also help make it visually more spacious, since white, beige and blue tones reflect light.
• Add large mirror... Well-known trick, with success enlarging the room (albeit only visually). Doesn't work if the bedroom is full of things, as it multiplies their number.

Blackout curtains

Some people like open window openings, the light from which flows freely into the room, while others prefer to spend their evenings behind tightly curtained windows and sleep in complete darkness. Heavy fabrics for curtains in the bedroom dim the light from street lamps or car headlights and protect from prying eyes, providing privacy.

To protect yourself from unpleasant external factors, you can purchase curtains that do not let in sunlight (blackout). They are especially relevant in the summer season, and are also useful for those who have equipped a home theater in the bedroom.

To control the amount of light, replace the traditional tulle with translucent Roman curtains... This way you can control the light by dimming it or blocking it out completely.

Zoning

The issue of dividing a room into functional zones is especially acute if there is bedroom and living roomand in studio apartments - also a kitchen.

There are many ways to provide zoning, the simplest of which is to separate the bedroom with a high closet or shelving... Unlike the main partition, the furniture leaves the opportunity to change the appearance of the room, making a rearrangement.

In addition, privacy can be created using a screen, opaque curtains or canopy.

Natural wood details

In the world of design, this is one of the most common materials: wood gives the interior nobility and makes it environmentally friendly. Side tables, window frames, a bed or a chest of drawers can be wooden - against the background of light wallpaper, decorative plaster or paint, they will stand out favorably and create a welcoming atmosphere.

With the help of wood, you can accentuate individual areas (for example, use clapboard or treated boards at the head), lay it on the floor or decorate the ceiling.

It is not necessary to spend the entire family budget on items made of precious woods: many hardware stores, as well as IKEA, sell furniture made of solid pine or birch for painting, and it costs less than processed counterparts. Soviet-made veneer products, cleaned of varnish and coated with oil, look no less cozy.

Beautiful textiles

What could be more comfortable than a soft carpet, which gives a pleasant sensation to bare feet after a morning rise? It not only decorates the bedroom, but also enhances the overall comfort.

Cover, which protects the bed linen, complements the atmosphere: to make the room seem warmer, we recommend choosing fabrics without satin sheen - natural with an admixture of synthetics, with coarse threads and a matte surface. On top of the bedspread, it is worth placing pillows that match in color with the furniture or decor. A blanket laid at the foot will complete the picture and warm you on cold evenings.

Decor

We do not recommend chasing so-called trendy accessories. Fashion goes away, but stamped decor remains in the interior.

Instead of the elements popular today, we recommend using your favorite things that cause pleasant associations. It can be printed photographs of travel landscapes, handmade, a couple of retro things that tell the story of a family.

We advise you to avoid "cold" glittering details in the bedroom: the abundance of gloss, glass and metal will add some airiness to the room, but can deprive the feeling of being at home.

There are timeless objects that add comfort to any room: wicker baskets made from natural materials, a wooden chest, oil paintings.

In the next photo, in addition to the posters in headboard and a variety of textures, there is one interesting detail: the pillows on the windowsill. They are associated with relaxation, visually add warmth and give a romantic mood.

To make the bedroom cozy, surround yourself with your favorite colors, dim the lights, wrap yourself in warm textiles and enjoy your vacation.
