What are the first words
that come to your mind when you think of the perfect bedroom? Comfortable, tranquil,
creative, decorative and welcoming top the list for us!
If you are that person who
pins different bedroom images to their Pinterest wall, tears out pictures from
magazines of beautifully decorated bedrooms, and wonders about how you can
achieve the perfect balance of creativity and utility to create the bedroom of your dreams, you’ve come to the
right place.
Every room has its own identity and meaning, and each one
should be designed in such a way that brings out their true meaning. A room's
purpose should be one of the strongest cues for the decor.
Here are few tips that we hope will help you get the most out
of your bedroom revamp –
Find Inspiration:
A bedroom design is a constant challenge to balance comfort
with luxe, the practical with the desirable. It’s essential to find the key
inspiration of what design and colour scheme you’re looking to adopt in your
bedroom.
For instance, if you’re
designing a children’s bedroom you can get inspired by fun and playful patterns
and prints like you can see in the image below where the designer MuseLAB, used
the lively Toso Dotto pattern from the BFT+ range placed randomly. Vice versa,
if you’re designing a master bedroom you might like to create a more luxurious
and elegant setting using patterns and textures that are floral or geometric.
In some cases, just textures can do wonders!
Design a layout:
After you’ve gathered all
your inspiration and decided what kind of a space you’re looking to design,
it’s essential to create a plan as to where your bathroom, closet, furniture
will be located. This can be done through a 3D layout to understand how the
space will look after the bedroom is renovated. A home makeover is like a road trip. Without a map or clear directions,
you might never reach your destination.
Create a furniture plan:
The furniture you choose can make or break a bedroom! Before you get
much further with the room decor it’s essential to have an idea as to what kind
of furniture, you’re looking to invest in. Bedroom floor layouts usually have a bed wall
– but what about dressers, nightstands, TV’s, chairs and a desk? Work with your
architect or interior designer to make sure that the furniture plan leaves
enough space to walk around and not create a clutter.
For a small space adding
a sleek storage cupboard attached to the wall, along with a mirror is an apt choice
to create a spacious look, and for adding some extra storage in your
bedroom, like you can see in the image below.
Utilize space effectively by shopping for multi-functional furniture that can provide storage options as well as cater to other functions.
Since you spend a considerable amount of time
in your personal space, consider adding a comfy chair or two for reading and
relaxing in a corner or in front of a window or balcony, with a coffee table perhaps
to rest your cup of tea or coffee. Cosy corners provide the perfect spot to
unwind before bedtime or in the morning before you head out for the day!
Decide the order of the work:
This is an important step to consider, while renovating your home. The ideal way to start the work is to first complete the prep work on the walls – e.g. ripping up wallpaper, sanding and patching walls, etc. The reason for that is that this can damage the floors, and other furniture in the room. After all the electric fittings, paint, furniture placement is complete, the tiling work can be done, just before the last coating of the paint.
This order will create a seamless look within your bedroom, without damaging any furniture or your walls.
Decide on paint or paper for the walls:
Once you’re clear on the basics, take another look
around your room and give some
consideration to what colours you want to use, or if you want to paint your
walls or use pretty wallpaper. Colours play an important part in determining
your mood, and you can play with different combinations to update your space!
When it comes to choosing the right colour and wallpaper for the space, it’s
important to incorporate your personality, lifestyle, and design sensibilities
so that you don’t feel out of place or uncomfortable in your own bedroom. After
all, your room is an extension of you!
Whether you're a fan of warm or cool shades, pick
colours that you naturally gravitate toward and give you a sense of calm.
Neutrals shades with a pop of colour are in vogue this season!
When revamping your bedroom, there will always be some precious items
that you treasure deeply. The old and the new belong
together, you just have to figure out how to combine them to create a unique
and homely space that carries old memories and is conducive to creating new
ones too.
A mix of modern pieces and antiques never tires. Great art and fabulous antiques only get better with age. For example: an old wooden side table, that holds a lot of value, can be re-vamped by adding a conventional décor piece on it, or by re-polishing it.
For an easy way to remember this, make a list of things you have and
what you need to buy. Pay attention to these little details to create your own
unique bedroom and make sure that the things that matter find a place in your
revamped space too!
Add appropriate lighting:
Transform your dreary apartment into a well-lit abode by following these few simple lighting tips: add some
soothing dim lights for a cosy night setting and, bright yellow or white lights
to help you rise and shine every day.
Also, incorporating a bold ceiling fixture
will direct attention upward and open your space. Use lamps in particular to
create localized glowing areas in the room, such as next to the bed on a
nightstand or in a corner.
Accessorize:
Coming to the
fun part of designing your bedroom! Once all the technical aspects are taken
into consideration, it’s now time to add some playful patterns, textures and
prints to make the space stand out and infuse your personality into it.
For example,
you can play around with your floorings by adding quirky patterns from the BFT+
range or a classic pattern from the Heritage collection or subtle décor element
for example quirky side lamps, wall art, etc. It’s essential to unite the prints
and textures together to create an elegant and uniform interior space.
If you’re
going for bold floors or colourful prints, then keep the rest of the wall
colours subtle.
Having a
variety of combinations and finishes in a space (woods, metals, & painted
pieces) helps give a room a more “collected over time” feel and makes it more
interesting.
In order to make the overall look and feel of
your bedroom come together, consider adding a few meaningful and decorative
objects to your wall. It could be a wall frame or art that inspires you, or
even a lovely collage of your friends and family; this brings in a personal touch
to your space. These helps
elevate your room design and remind you of the people and things that truly
matter to you.
Look into the final touches:
A very famous quote by
Charles Eames, ‘Details are not details, they make the design.’ Make sure the polishing, painting, bedding,
furniture are all executed as per the brief you have given your architect and
interior designer because you would not want to move into an unfinished room,
or a room that’s devoid of basic amenities.
Never rush the design
process, take your time and find your inspiration, because your room is your
little haven and it’s got to be perfect. It’s worth taking a little extra time
up front to make sure you have a more efficient and functional plan in the end.
We hope these
tips will come handy when you plan to revamp your bedroom into a cosy and
comfortable sanctuary where you can curl up at the end of a long day and put
all your worries behind you.
