When designing your new bedroom, the priority
should be making it a comfortable place for you to sleep and relax
in. While it is not like a living room in the sense that it’s not
usually open to guests, it should still represent you and have décor
that inspires you to get up every morning. A bedroom that is
lackluster can affect your mood as soon as you wake up. Your mood is
often influenced by your environment, so you should ensure that you
can make the most of your day as soon as you get out of bed.
To make your bedroom work for you, follow this
advice!
-
Optimize Natural Lighting
Natural
lighting is great for boosting your mood, especially during the
winter months, when it can often be dark and dreary, causing people
to suffer from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), commonly known as
the ‘winter blues.’ Big, wide windows are perfect for inviting
the sunlight in when you want it. You should be able to open your
curtains every morning and feel immediately brightened.
-
Strong Curtains or Blinds
While natural lighting is great once you’re
awake, you don’t want it to wake you up at the crack of dawn!
Invest in thicker curtains or blinds that securely block out the
sunlight when you need it. You should be able to easily control just
how much natural light comes into the room.
-
Soft Carpet
There is nothing worse than getting out of bed and
putting your bare feet onto cold wooden floors or a harsh carpet. To
set your day off right, install a soft carpet and have it
professionally cleaned by carpet
cleaners Chelsea to keep it that way. Ease your way into the day
with a soft landing.
-
Optimize Space
Just like your kitchen or living room, you should
think about the space you have and how you would best live in it.
While most people would love a king-size bed, it’s important to
consider how it will fit in the room and if you will still have space
for a wardrobe. For smaller rooms, storage under the bed or open
closet racks are great choices to optimize the space! If you are
lucky enough to have a bigger room, you should still think about how
each furniture piece fits in the room and how you can move around it.
When optimizing
space, you should try to ensure that it’s not cramped or
cluttered.
-
Add Bits of You
Your childhood bedroom was more than likely
plastered with posters, photographs, and other décor that made it
inexplicably you. To make your new bedroom just as much you as this
room was - only more mature - you can always introduce
snippets of you. Family photographs, a poster of your favorite
film, an art piece, or a quote that inspires you; any of these things
can create a sophisticated décor and show off your personality.
The perfect bedroom can be made possible if you
make sure to include bits of your own character and still make it
functional!
