Ideas for decorating a bedroom

A bedroom is not only a private room, but also an intimate area where you can relax physically and mentally. Therefore, the emotional mood that the environment creates is very important. The bedroom should not only be easy to use, but also bring mental comfort.

One of the main rooms in the apartment is the bedroom. You should pay a lot of attention to the arrangement of the interior so that it is pleasant to spend time there.

There are a large number of directions, but some of them are more suitable for decorating a bedroom than others:

• Country style adheres to naturalness and is saturated with natural motives, which affected the choice of finishes, furniture and even colors. The main material of the direction is a tree or anything that imitates its external data. The colors are natural, and you should choose muted shades.

• Provence style is one of the most airy and simply elegant... The furnishings in it are designed in white and beige tones, and among the accents there is always a bluish or lavender one. As furniture, they choose vintage cabinets or modern, but semi-antique, large beds with wrought-iron headboards. Mainly chintz and satin are used as textiles.

• Baroque and classics are the most elegant and luxurious trends. They require massive furniture and decor, for example, columns, large wrought-iron beds with canopies, real statues, intricate chandeliers. These features make these styles only suitable for large bedrooms. Baroque is more vibrant, as in it, in addition to light colors, there are red, lilac accents. In the classics, the gamut is richer thanks to the maroon, dark blue and gold colors.

• Minimalism and hi-tech - modern styles, which look laconic, but beautiful at the same time. The design is designed in monochrome colors, which are occasionally diluted with yellow, red, blue. A high-tech bedroom is more elegant, as it allows the use of lacquered, glossy, glass surfaces, as well as fancy decor and appliances. The minimalist room is as spacious as possible, and is furnished only with the items necessary for life.

• Art deco and ethnic styles require a lot of elements and decor. However, each item should be combined with the other and represent a single concept. The ethnic trend is most often bright, because it uses national features both in the setting and in the colors. The most popular are Japanese, African, Egyptian, Arabic, Indian. Art Deco is more sophisticated and slightly pretentious thanks to intricate patterns, expensive materials, textiles and decor.

Having chosen a style, you should start furnishing. The set of must-have items for the bedroom is small. The central place is occupied by the bed, the quality of which will determine how rested a person feels.

If the bed is double, then it is better to leave free space on both sides so as not to create inconvenience. One bedroom can be placed along the wall. In a large bedroom, the bed can be placed in the center or diagonally. If the bed is pushed against the wall, then it is better if it has a high headboard so that you can sit half-sitting comfortably.

The beds are divided into high (up to 80 cm), medium (about 50 cm) and low, at floor level. In addition to the usual options, you can install something non-standard in the bedroom, for example, a hanging model or make an "attic", a hill on which it is enough to put a mattress. In the bedroom for children and adolescents, a two-tier or three-tier model will be relevant. In a small room, it can be combined with a workplace.

For greater convenience, it does not hurt to put a bedside table or table. To store clothes, bed linen and things, you need a wardrobe or a chest of drawers. A dressing table, desk, chairs or ottomans are completely optional, but they can solve many problems in a small apartment. These items must be designed in the same style.

To save space, you can use multifunctional transforming furniture. For example, in armchairs and poufs there are boxes for things. The curbstone on wheels can be moved from corner to corner and used as a stand or table. A dressing table with a folding mirror can act as a workplace.

The mood in the interior is created by the colors and decor. Light and natural tones bring a feeling of freshness, yellow and orange warm, and red, on the contrary, is too invigorating. Flowers and plants, and not only living ones in vases, give the room a cosiness. Drawings on walls, furniture or textiles will help the room sparkle. Textiles can complement a style or become an accent piece. In some areas, only cotton and linen are appropriate, while in others, silk and velvet. Curtains in the bedroom are necessary not only to create coziness, but also to hide from the sun in the morning.

An interesting and significant addition to the interior can be a decor made by yourself. Many ideas do not require special skills, just a little time:

• In the room, the gaze always falls on the walls, which is why it is worthwhile to treat their decoration with care. The most popular way is wallpapering. You can do this yourself, without hiring professionals. To make the bedroom more interesting, it is enough to use wallpaper with prints on one of the walls or a specific area, for example, by the bed. The drawing should be in harmony with the color of the furniture or decor.

• Another option is drawing. The idea can be carried out using tracing paper stencils and self-adhesive paper. A suitable drawing and pattern can be taken literally from anywhere, for example, from a magazine or a book.

• The accent wall can be decorated with soft panels. To make them you will need plywood, foam rubber and leather or any other fabric for upholstery. The more foam, the softer the wall will be. You can glue the panels with liquid nails.

• Another option for a wall is a row of small framed mirrors. You can choose different shapes and sizes, and to make them look harmonious, paint the frames in one color or paste over with wallpaper, paint. You can also make a mirrored wall by attaching the plates with liquid nails. However, this design is too aggressive and can spoil the proportions of the room.

• Recently, a popular solution is ordinary photo frames on the wall. The main thing is to use only empty frames, no photographs and drawings. By playing with sizes and colors, you can create an intriguing composition.

• You can also decorate the furniture yourself, for example, using stencils to draw intricate patterns on the curbstone or cover the shelves with special film of any color. You can even gild an item with gold leaf, varnish and a soft brush. Craftsmen can try to make embossed stucco moldings on the walls or the head of the bed. This will require plaster mortar and lime dough, the mixture of which is poured into stencils or molds.

• Stitched chair covers can be a beautiful and functional decor. They can be used as a bedside table. Pockets on the cases will allow you to store small but necessary things, for example, a phone, wires from chargers.

• Lack of storage space can be solved in another way - by making niches in the wall of drywall. These recesses store books, frames, or even pillows and bedding. You can hang cabinets over the bed, the main thing is not to do it too low. To give the furniture a more pleasant appearance, it can be upholstered with fabric to match the color of the bedspread.

• You can even make a canopy on your own. To do this, you need to purchase and attach a wooden, plastic or metal frame to the wall. Tulle, organza, velvet, tapestry are suitable as a cape, and you can attach it using a curtain for curtains. It is important to properly check the strength of the entire structure before going to sleep under it.

Let's highlight the most common ones:

• A large chandelier is most often inappropriate especially in an apartment of medium and small size. In the bedroom, the central lamp is not the main source of light, much more important than sconces, floor lamps and table lamps, since they illuminate the required area.
• Often the bedroom is combined with work area and library. Bookshelves should not be placed next to the bed, as they actively collect dust.
• Wardrobe with mirrored doors or a large floor mirror is a great option for a room, as they can visually enlarge the space and improve natural lighting. However, you should not place a bed next to such an active object, since the constant contemplation of a wiggling reflection will start to cause alarm.

• Even the minimalism style presupposes variety. Bare walls and asceticism do not create the desired comfortable atmosphere. But cluttering up the room is completely optional. It is enough to place accents, for example, make one wall textured or hang a picture / photographs.
• It is not recommended to make a completely dark environment. The lighter the bedroom, the more spacious and comfortable it looks. Saturated shades should be added as accents, or more muted shades should be used.
• Do not hang massive shelves directly above the bed, as this may cause anxiety. It is better to occupy the bedside space as much as possible, and limit yourself to a neat shelf or niche above it.
• In order not to overload the interior do not use excessive amounts of mirror finish. Also, you should not be zealous with ruffles, openwork, flounces on textiles. You shouldn't oversaturate the design, but you don't need to make it completely even and monochromatic. It is enough to add a few color accents and play with different textures.

There are many styles, but even among them there are more modern and not boring ones. So, within the boundaries of the ethno-direction, you can implement a safari bedroom with wicker rattan furniture, artificial animal skins, colorful paintings and ornaments on textiles. A nautical design that embodies the theme of water, beaches and the romance of travel, allows for a cabin-style room. To do this, you need to choose a dark wood finish, as well as use decor in the form of an anchor, globe, steering wheel.

Many unusual options can be thought of with walls. A popular way is to accent one of the walls. But you can highlight it not only with the help of contrasting or painted wallpaper, but also in several other ways. For example, make a slate board out of one wall, sheathe it with clapboard, trim it with real brick or stone, mirror panels and mosaics.

Since in the bedroom one of the central places is occupied by the bed, then you can come up with something interesting with it.For example, put on a column from each corner, decorate the tops of which with vases of flowers. An alcove can be made at the headboard, and a wide shelf can be placed around the entire perimeter. Thus, a curbstone and a table will be immediately attached to the bed at the same time.

In a large bedroom, you can make not only a non-trivial design, but also a layout. It is in fashion to combine a shower with a bedroom. One zone is separated from another by a transparent wall, and part of the room is finished with waterproof materials. This is costly, since it is necessary not only to take care of the demolition of a part of the wall, but also to make sure that the plumbing does not make loud extraneous sounds.

Often you want to put a fireplace in the bedroom. to make the room even more comfortable. Designers offer non-standard solutions - to make only the outer base of the fireplace, and place shelves for flowers, candles and any other decor inside. However, you can get a real one, for example, a biofireplace that runs on fuel.

In small rooms for example, in a bedroom of 6 sq. m you can also embody stylish ideas. For example, lay out one wall with bricks, and attach wooden beams to the ceiling. Textiles will help to make the room brighter - bedspread, pillows, furniture upholstery, curtains on the windows. Instead of a conventional wardrobe, you can use a floor hanger. In general, in a small bedroom, you should experiment with textures and colors, in which there should be an advantage of light shades.
