5 Tips for a Stylish Bedroom

IntroductionIf living rooms are where you spend most of your

waking hours at home, bedrooms are where you withdraw to finally rest after a long and hard day.

Therefore, you want yours to be as cozy and pleasant as possible, to maximize your recovery time... but you also want it to look great so you can simply enjoy "being" in there.

In this presentation, we will give you 5 tips to turn your bedroom into a classy nest you will not want to get out of.

Pick a ThemeThe first way to ensure that your bedroom becomes an

object of pride and elegance is to organize your deco and furniture around a single theme.

This will bring a sense of unity to the whole that will far surpass the sum of its parts.

Pick a ThemeWhether you choose to go black & white or to center

your room around flowers, a great theme will have the following criteria in common:

• A well though-out color scheme (always stick to 1 or 2 colors for maximum efficiency)

• One main type of material for the furniture (solid wood for example)

• Matching accessories (and if you’re a collector, don’t be afraid to put your prized items in the spotlight)

Focus on the Bed

No matter the size or the layout of your room, the most important element will always stay the bed.

So make sure that not only does it get the attention it deserves but that it also takes center stage.

Focus on the Bed

Because your choice of a bed will dictate the rest of the deco, you will want to:

• Choose a comforter that will be in tune with the theme you picked for your room

• Take the time to select a headboard with character that will provide a strong visual anchor for your bed

• Give some depth and relief with a selection of matching pillows

Light It Up

If your choice of furniture will bring character to your room, it’s the lighting that will set the mood. Indeed, depending on the source of light, its strength, its color and quality, you will be able to create totally different experiences and atmospheres.

Because, at night, you can’t benefit from the best source of light possible (the sun), you will have to rely on light bulbs. Always lean in favor of several localised sources instead of just one. You will have more control over how much light you want in the room. In that respect, bedside lamps are great additions that can also bring some flair to your room.

Light It Up

But if you can’t use sunlight in your room – unless you go for a midday nap – it doesn’t mean that you have to neglect the way your windows look. You can still add curtains and drapes to further dress up the room.

Use Practical StyleOne valuable tip, even more so if you have limited

space, is to use items that will play both storage and decor roles. Not only will they free your room of any clutter, they will also add an extra layer of style and beauty.

Built-in shelves are one solution that quickly comes to mind, but wall hooks can also prove to fit the part nicely.

Make Them Count

Finally, as with the previous tip, to ensure that your room stays clutter free and gives you enough space to move and breathe, you will want to choose your pieces of furniture wisely.

Your bedroom needs to be a place where you relax, so don’t make it look like a fashion or a furniture store. Just focus on 1 or 2 functional pieces (like a wardrobe and a chest of drawers) and that’s it. Make those pieces count!

Conclusion

When it comes to your bedroom, comfort can certainly rhyme with elegance and style. If you follow the tips we have outlined in this presentation, you should find it easy to create a space where you will feel like in a cocoon.
