Your bedroom should provide you with a sanctuary from the stress of daily life, so it must offer complete comfort. If you’re looking to infuse your boudoir with some real luxury, take a look at these five simple design steps.
1. Choose the perfect bed
Your bed is by far the most important piece of furniture in this room. The average person spends around a third of their lives sleeping, so nothing but the very best will do. Don’t panic if you’re a novice at buying these products. With the help of a simple beds buying guide, you should be able to identify the ideal item for you.
Your bed should give you plenty of space to stretch out, but don’t supersize the bed if you lack the square footage. Remember, you want to be able to fit all your other pieces of furniture into your room and still have space to move around comfortably. Meanwhile, your bed should be top quality, and it must meet all your design needs. If you want to use it for storage, a stylish divan might fit the bill. Alternatively, if you fancy a more decorative design, an ornate bedstead would be better.
2. Select sumptuous sheets
No bed is complete without sumptuous sheets. To ensure comfort, splash out on the best materials, and make sure you layer up too. In addition to your sheets, duvet and pillows, add a throw and some scatter cushions. As well as giving you extra comfort, this will look terrific.
3. Select beautiful, practical window dressings
Another tip is to find window dressings that are both beautiful and practical. Blackout blinds can be a good investment. These products can inject a splash of color into your room. They’ll also help you to sleep when it’s bright outside. For extra style and sophistication, soften these items by framing them with sheer curtains in a neutral hue.
4. Get creating with your lighting
Make sure you choose the perfect lights too. Use a variety of illuminations to set the perfect ambiencefor any occasion. Wall or ceiling lights with dimmer switches are a must, along with soft bedside or desk lamps. To bring a touch of magic and romance, you could introduce some fairy lights.
5. Add those all-important extras
Don’t forget about those all-important finishing touches. For instance, you could place some scented candles and a bunch of fresh flowers in the room and hang up some of your favorite wall art.
By following these design tips, you can rest assured that whether you’re sleeping or just chilling out in your room, you’ll be able to do it in style.
