How to Plan your bedroom interior

 

A well-planned bedroom reads the peace of mind of family members…

There is no other feeling like getting holed up in your bedroom after that hectic day, when you get to put down all your worldly worries and relax and rejuvenate yourself with sound sleep, to prepare yourself for the next day. How your it is laid out and designed has a huge say on how relaxing your time in the bedroom is, because a cluttered and cramped up space can bring you more stress than your day did. The following sections discuss some of the basic elements you need to consider when planning out the interior of your bedroom.
 

The size of your bedroom

The size of your bedroom is the determinant factor when designing your bedroom interior. The size of your bed and other furniture, and even the colors that are best to use are dependent on the bedroom size. If you have a large space to work with you can be more liberal in your choice of furniture and other elements you would like to have in your bedroom, like a reading corner. In case you don’t, you just have to be a bit smarter with your interior design.

 

Furniture

The most important piece of furniture in your bedroom is your bed. When choosing your bed, you have to pay attention to how big you are. It would be really inconvenient to have your legs stick out of your bed and have to worry about that monster under the bed grabbing your legs! Therefore, always choose a bed that can accommodate you fully as long as you can fit it into your room. Then you can think about the other furniture you need to include in your room such as the wardrobe, nightstand, clothes rack and so on. It would be best if you can include a comfortable chair and a small table to keep your journals, laptop, books, etc. if you are the kind of person to pen down your day or watch a movie or indulge in a good book before going to sleep. Also, don’t forget to choose a comfortable mattress along with pillows and blankets!

Colors

Choosing the right colors is very important not only to make your bedroom look nice but also to relax and set your mood for a good sleep. Using bright colors in your bedroom is not recommended as they stimulate senses and make you feel wide awake. Instead, earthly and subtle hues will help you calm down and get ready for a soothing sleep. It does not mean that you cannot use your favorite colors like red, orange, or yellow, but rather that more subdued shades of these colors would do you good.

Also, if you have a small bedroom using a lot of dark shades of color will make it seem even smaller and cramped. Using lighter shades of color will make your room appear spacious. However, if you are into dark colors, using an accented wall with other lighter shades will give your bedroom more character.

Lighting

Lighting is also as important as the colors you use in your bedroom. You need to choose lighting that complements the colors in your bedroom. For instance, warm whites are easier on the eyes and can create a soft and snuggly atmosphere boosting your sleep hormones while cool whites will give out a much brighter light that will delay your sleep. However, if you plan to read or write before going to sleep, you need to make sure that there is adequate lighting as working with inadequate light can stress out your eyes and result in headaches.

Ventilation

It is important to ensure that fresh air constantly circulates in and out of your bedroom. This will help remove damp and unpleasant odors from your bedroom while maintaining healthy levels of oxygen for you to breathe. Also, it would be great to have your bedroom get at least a bit of sunlight during the day to retain the freshness in your bedroom for the night.

While all these concerns make it a bit of an intimidating task, it is a worthwhile investment to do your research and take your time in planning your bedroom.
