Designing a cosy bedroom can be tricky for several reasons. You have to factor in various considerations for the design, especially now that we live in a digital and fast-paced environment. Creating a unified design that can calm you down after a frantic day will greatly improve your circadian rhythm. The room should be pleasant enough to ensure that you will look forward to resting your body and mind after a long and tiring day.
If you want to create a cosy bedroom, here are some things to consider.
Plan for the illumination
One of the primary considerations when designing a cosy bedroom is the amount of illumination. There must be enough natural light entering the area during the day and enough lighting fixtures to keep it safe at night. Ensure there are enough windows and use the most appropriate window treatments to let the sunlight and outside air inside. Consider using LED lights and floor or table lamps with luxury patterned lampshades. You can choose colourful patterned shades to reflect your preference. You can also complement the colour scheme with the right patterned shades to create a unified design. Try to use dimmable lighting to control the intensity at night so you can set the mood properly.
Play with colour
Incorporate the right colour schemes to ensure the space inspires and relaxes you. You can use paint, an inexpensive option, or consider textured or patterned wallpaper to make the space appealing. Remember that you likely have to redo the room after a few years, so choose wisely. To accentuate the space, you can also consider using brightly-coloured accessories such as floor rugs, picture frames, and wall decorations. Mix and match as you please as the room should reflect your personality.
Incorporate storage
Don’t forget to incorporate storage in your bedroom. Use large enough cabinets to accommodate your wardrobe. An artisan can build some cabinets for you. To increase storage space, you can also incorporate hooks, underbed crates, and rails. Use double-purpose furniture, such as footstools with hidden storage spaces. You can even design your bed so you can have storage underneath.
Limit distractions
One of the best ways to keep a space cosy is to limit screen time. Avoid putting a TV set inside your bedroom, and limit the use of gadgets so you won’t be exposed to blue light, which studies have shown can damage the eyes. Instead, you can have an audio system to play relaxing music to help you rest and sleep.
Endnotes
Creating a cosy bedroom is a great idea, as it will create a safe space for you. In addition, the area will help you re-energise after a long day at work and prepare you for the next day’s challenges.
