Your bedroom is probably your home’s most sacred space, the
place to let your guard down and be yourself. It’s where you start and end your
day, pass out with a pizza on Friday night (we’re not judging), pick out the clothes
you’re going to venture out into the world in, and curl up into a ball under a
pile of blankets when you’re feeling down. So choosing furniture and other
decor for this room is very important. Here is some design advice to simplify
this task.
Consider the Temperature
No, we’re not talking about opening a bedroom window or turning
your thermostat up. Rather, what’s your bedroom’s emotional temperature, the
dominant mood you want to set there? Are you extremely warm and welcoming? Then
so should be your bedroom. Paint the walls with a warm hue. Accent your bed
with colorful pillows. Accent the room overall with bright curtains.
Or what if you need to chill? Then cool colors, such as
blues, greens, and violet, are in order to calm you down for the night.
You know who you are, so make your bedroom’s temperature
into a reflection of yourself, and you’ll always feel comfortable in your most
intimate, personal and private space.
Form and Function Are Your Friends
The two most important things to consider about your bedroom
are that:
It suits your style and looks great. It looks like you. It’s
a reflection of you.
It’s functional. It’s comfortable. It’s sensible. It’s
logical.
In other words, you shouldn’t choose a beautiful-looking
bedroom space that makes no functional sense, or vice versa. In the spirit of
feng shui, a Chinese theory of interior design, think about what type of
balance makes sense for you.
How big is your bedroom? Be realistic, because cluttering it
won’t make sense. Less is usually more. Think about how it should flow to suit
your routine.
Once the logistics are squared away, think about how you can
achieve your needs in a manner that is most suitable to your style. Of course
we have a wide array of items in our bedroom furniture inventory that will suit
any taste.
Homework
So, now that we’ve gone over two important bedroom tips, we
have a little homework assignment for you. Ask yourself these questions:
What temperature is your overall mood, and how can you make
your bedroom reflect that?
What can be changed about your bedroom to make it more
functional, and cohesive with your routine?
How can your personal stylistic preferences be applied to
the newfound functionality of your bedroom?
