We spend about a third of our lives in the bedroom, but do we spend that much attention to the d©cor? It stands to reason that we should be nice and relaxed when we are chilling out. So why are so many of our bedrooms much nicer when the lights are out? It's certainly not for romantic reasons, but more a case of hiding the eyesore from our view. Maybe it is time to reverse the situation and enjoy a lovely laid out lazy room. Please read on if you are in need of some top tips!
Color
The colors of your walls and ceiling will set the mood for your whole room. You should think long and hard about the type of feeling you want to set before choosing the color. Here is a brief guide to the best color for your mood:
€ Red - This increases the energy level of a room, so think first if you prefer rest to bedroom antics!
€ Yellow - It gives out vibes of happiness and sunshine. Probably not best for the bedroom, but the kitchen will be happy with this.
€ Blue - This is the most relaxing color in the spectrum. It will lower your blood pressure and give you a tranquil place to rest your weary head.
€ Green - Another restful shade and it also refreshes the eye and mind. It is the second most popular color for the bedroom.
€ Purple - A sophisticated color that adds drama and luxury to any room. Perhaps a tad too busy for your room of dreams.
€ Orange - Refreshing and lively. It was thought to heal the lungs and increase your energy, in ancient times.
Lighting
Provided that you have decided on your ideal color, you will need to choose some lighting to emphasize those shades at night time. You may opt for some bedside lamps and a single light block in the centre of the ceiling. There are some real chic lighting options on the market, but remember how they will look in your actual bedroom. Pendant lights hang from the ceiling and are appointed at the top edges of your bed. This is a classic yet modern option you may favor.
Whatever the lighting you choose, remember it is very handy to be able to operate them from the comfort of your bed.
Shelving
Think about form and function when it comes to bedroom shelving units. You need enough space to make them useful, but also some style will add to a stark wall setting. You can get a standalone unit that doubles up as a coffee table or some simple bookshelves on opposite walls.
Bedding
No matter how stylish your bedroom is, the main focal point will always be the bed. A good bed should last for nearly ten years, so choose wisely and you will have thousands of memorable nights to look forward to. Try to spend a little more than you did last time, as a good night's sleep has no price tag on it!
