Tips for Choosing “Cool” Bedroom Decor

By

Your bedroom is your haven in your home. It’s most likely your personal space, and how it’s made up reflects your identity.

Aside from comfort, you also need to consider aesthetics when you’re designing your bedroom to add a sense of relaxation and peace. One way is through incorporating bedroom décor.

Here are some tips on how to choose décor for your bedroom

1. Choose a simple theme

You want all the elements of your bedroom to work together, so you have to select bedroom décor or furniture that matches the overall look of your space.

For example, if you want to achieve a minimalist design for your bedroom, you have to stick to pieces that are not too loud.

Moreover, you should also stick to neutral colors such as white, beige, and gray, and other subtle colors to provide a calming effect.

When choosing bedroom décor, you also have to make sure that it goes well with your theme. You want to have a perfect balance of the things you put in your bedroom, from the bed frame to the wall accent and decorations.

As much as possible, choose an element that you want to accentuate and then build the décor around it.

2. Keep it personal

If you want your bedroom to be an extension of yourself or to be a representation of your personality, you might want to spice it up and add personalized items as your bedroom décor. It might be in the form of a wall painting, an entire shelf of your collection, a mood board or even personalized bedding.

You can check out VisionBedding.com for ideas as a simple thing such as bedding will make your bedroom personal, as well as create a serene and homey ambiance.

3. Go for functionality

You should also need to consider the functionality of your bedroom décor.

Aside from the aesthetic appeal of the items and furniture you’ll be choosing, you need to consider that they can be used in other ways apart from their primary purpose. This is to optimize your entire bedroom space.

For example, the chair that comes with your dresser can be used as additional storage for your small items. Your bed frame can function as a bookshelf, or the base can work as additional drawers where you can put in your extra blankets and towels.

4. Be creative in wall accents

What makes your bedroom cool is how you design the four corners of your personal space. You don’t have to buy an expensive painting or a high-end wallpaper to achieve this. Your creativity will make your wall accent unique. Here are some ideas:

Put up some wall art, whether these are paintings or photography pieces

Create a collage of your favorite photos

Create a dream wall to remind you of your goals and the things you want to achieve

5. Always keep it clutter free

If you want your bedroom to look cool, you always need to maintain its cleanliness. Your bedroom décor will not stand out if you keep the things in your bedroom disorganized. Decluttering your bedroom now and then will create a more relaxed feeling after a whole day’s work.

6. Choose good lighting

Your bedroom lighting can also affect the ambiance of the room. As much as possible, you don’t want harsh lighting installed in your bedroom as it may affect the way you sleep at night. Go for softer illuminations such as accent lights on the ceiling.

You can also put a small lampshade or a reading light if you’re into reading before sleeping. You can also choose a room chandelier or a lantern as your room décor and use it as the main accent.

7. Mind the proportions

A relaxing bedroom is also all about having the perfect balance and harmony of all the décor. You might be in a situation where the color coordination looks beautiful, but something is just not right. Aside from the play of colors, you also need to focus on the sizes of the bedroom décor. If you have a small bedroom space, avoid getting bulky décor that take too much space. If you have a bigger bed frame, you might want to keep the bedside accents minimal.

8. Choose light curtains

Sometimes heavy curtains drag down the overlook of your bedroom. Moreover, it also prevents natural light from getting in.

Natural lighting can also add a more relaxed vibe to the bedroom since it can make your room look more spacious. Choose light curtains that allow natural light to pass through their fabric.

Final Thoughts

Your bedroom provides you the best place of comfort and relaxation after a long tiring day. Making an effort of decorating it will help you achieve a peaceful ambiance and calm feeling. This will provide you with a better night’s sleep.
