Decorating your room is above all a question of comfort. A haven of peace and relaxation, it is the room or space where you must sleep every night. Everything must therefore be there for you to be as comfortable as possible. How to arrange the furniture? Which accessories to choose or avoid? We tell you everything.
Start by placing the bed
As to start the decoration of your living room, you must start by placing the largest piece of furniture: namely the bed. Be careful to choose it in dimensions that will not come to swallow up all the space of the bedroom . The typical location of the bed is in the center of the room, with the head glued to the wall, equidistant from the two walls. If you feel like breaking the codes, you can have one side of your bed against the wall for example. Although it is a very messy location. Forget about corner layouts if you want to save space for additional amenities. If we apply the precepts of Feng Shui(Chinese harmonization), the bed should always be as far as possible from the front door. You should never have it on your back when you sleep. The mirrors must be sufficiently eccentric (or even completely absent) so that you cannot see your reflection when lying down. Finally, the top and bottom of the bed should not be obstructed by additional furniture or storage, so that the good energies can circulate freely in the room.
Opt for a dim light
During the day you open the windows wide to ventilate and let natural light into the room. At night, it turns into a zone of relaxation and relaxation after a long day of work. To create a warm atmosphere, opt for dim lights. Whether in the form of bedside lamps with a dark shade or with low-consumption bulbs , the key is to obtain a brightness suitable for a mind ready to fall asleep.
Repaint the walls
The white wall is boring. It doesn’t matter which room in the house you are in. But the bedroom is the space where it seems more legitimate to let your personality express itself. To give an identity and an atmosphere that suits you, energize your walls with a coat of paint. We avoid the “total look” dark or bright colors which could considerably alter your moods and the quality of your sleep, unlike “cold” colors which improve it. If you wish, use these colors sparingly, incorporating them into the details of a more subdued painting. For example,repaint your bedroom in pastel tones (which are the trend in 2020) and baseboards in brighter colors.
Optimize your linens
Furnishing a room also means selecting bed linen, curtains and blankets. Choose your sheets in tones, patterns and colors that match the season. Also, pay attention to the materials. A velvet cushion immediately has its effect in a room but does not necessarily go well with a wicker decoration. Be careful not to mix everything up, at the risk of obtaining a vomit of colors and geometric shapes. We must promote harmony.
Win your Blanc Cerise linen set
You can decide to coordinate everything to stay in a minimalist spirit, or to mismatch everything to make the sleeping space more attractive. Think of the decorative pillows for the bed or the chair in the corner, the floral duvet cover, or the fluffy plaid. Remember to protect your mattress with a mattress protector to prevent it from wearing out quickly. There are anti-bedbug models. Curtains also play a role in decorating, and how you decide to let in the light. A sheer curtain placed high, for example, gives the impression of a larger room. Dark curtains tend to give the opposite effect. They are more opaque and help create a rather cozy atmosphere.
The rug is always a nice touch to the sight and touch in a room. Under the bed or on each side downhill, it brings a “je ne sais quoi” to your interior. For this room, opt for models with reduced dimensions. Multiply the shapes (round, rectangular, oval) and textures, as well as the patterns if you have not already opted for a colorful wallcovering or bed linen. Be careful, however, not to install long pile rugs at the foot of your bed. The latter requires much more maintenance and are real nests for mites. A penalty when you know that you spend around eight hours a day in this space. It would be a shame if the decoration made us develop respiratory ailments.
Don’t forget the decor
If the bedroom should be an environment conducive to dreamlike moments, they are not exempt from being decorated. Tables, posters, trinkets, etc. we place them in your environment. Since this is a personal place, feel free to use souvenirs or totem objects as decoration. Don’t accumulate too much around you. Like carpets, they are formidable dust traps and it is a real chore to clean. If you have a superstitious soul , accompany your sleep with elements that will blend into the overall decoration, such as a dream catcher to capture nightmares or lithotherapy stones to actively circulate the good waves. Plants also have their place with you. On the floor or on shelves. Why not even on small tables or stools purchased for this purpose. They come to give color and life to your space. Do not place too generous a quantity around you, at the risk of increasing the humidity of the room.
Think about storage
Unless you live in an accommodation large enough to accommodate a dressing room, the bedroom is the place where you will store most of your items. Clothes, shoes, and paperwork. In order not to let all this drag out and avoid turning your space into a mess, invest in storage. Prefer high cupboards and cupboards, especially if the bedroom is small. A large piece of furniture will block the passage. Dressers are always a plus because of their drawers which allow you to store more things. If you have a wardrobe, stackable boxes to be placed on the floor will do the trick very well. Provide baskets to sort paper, laundry, and anything else you can categorize. This technique will help you find yourself easily when you are looking for something.
