7 Ways To Make Your Bedroom Your Sanctuary

by 8 Comments

bedroom-1

In average, an adult person sleeps eight hours a day, which means that we spend one-third of our day, and our life sleeping. It is better to make every hour count, right? That is not going to happen if you are sleeping in an uncomfortable bed and a room that is making you feel anxious. Fortunately, these are all problems that can be resolved with some clever re-designing. You can decorate your bedroom in a way that will transform it from an unappealing space into a truly relaxing sanctuary where you’ll be able to get your much-needed rest. Here are tips that will help you with that. image source: Anthony Kalambet

1. Make It Simple

Have you ever heard that simplicity is the ultimate elegancy? A cluttered bedroom will only increase your stress levels and disrupt your sleep. Besides, too much stuff will make your bedroom less functional.

bedroom-2source: home-designing.com

Observe the room and decide what you really need and what you can throw out. Do you use the chair in the corner for sitting or you just pile up useless stuff on top of it? If the latter one is true, it just might be the time to get rid of it.

2. Introduce Soothing Colors

Colors can significantly affect your mood, and if you choose well you can sleep like a baby, but if you choose badly, you can go through similar moods as with a cluttered room. While red is a big no-no, since it can trigger stress, green is ideal because it’s soothing and it is thought to have some impact on preventing nightmares. Other great colors for painting the bedroom are lilac, blue and light pink.

3. A Comfy Bed Makes Everything Better

The bed is the most important piece of furniture in your bedroom and, as such, it deserves some serious consideration.

bedroom-4source: home-designing.com

A quality, but at the same time, a classy bed will consist of a comfortable memory foam mattress, a chic headboard (make one yourself using things like fireplace mantel, reclaimed planks, etc.) and soft bedding. A few statement pillows won’t hurt either (combine different textures, e.g., faux fur and silk).

4. Form + Function

Nightstands are the ideal combination of form and function. They are the nearby surface you need to leave your book, a glass of water or decorative piece, but they also serve as a decorative element. Besides purchasing two nightstands for both sides of the bed, you can also test your DIY skills. Luckily, these furniture pieces can be made of everything, ranging from old suitcases to cinder blocks.

5. A Place To Sit

If sleeping isn’t the only thing you like to do in your room, and if you love reading books or just need a place to leave your bag, get a small functional yet comfy seating, such as an ottoman or a storage bench. If you have enough room, you can include a small desk and a table lamp to create a true reading nook.

6. Make The Light Just Right

Unlike most of the other rooms in your house, the bedroom doesn’t require too much light. Even if you are reading before you go to sleep, it will be enough to include one lamp on your nightstand or wall lamp to complement the ceiling fixture. Since there are only a few light sources, make sure to use them as decorative elements. Consider a Victorian-style chandelier or a sleek modern metallic wall lamp.

7. Details That Count

Bedroom-6source: vudumotion.com

Although you should keep your focus on minimalism, it is important to include some details that will stand out. That can be your favorite artwork on the wall above the headboard, a subtle, yet stylish wallpaper, a houseplant, a comfy and soft throw, a photograph, etc. Just don’t overdo it with various elements that belong to different design styles. Your goal is to create a harmonic space that will reflect your personality, but also allow you to cherish every hour of sleep you get.

5 Ways To Make A Small Bedroom More Livable

by Leave a Comment

5 ways to make a bedroom_blog
Living in a small space does have its advantages (you can clean up your entire apartment in just a couple of hours or less), but there are some downsides too. If you often feel cramped or fear that there is nothing you can do to make things better, think again. There are plenty of easy and convenient ways to make any space appear bigger and more livable, and we offer you five foolproof ways to turn your bedroom from a glorified cupboard into a spacious sanctuary.

1. The Fine Art Of Concealing

One of the best things to have in small spaces is multi-functional furniture. There are ottomans that can open up and be used for storage, or you can try wonderful storage beds. When it comes to multi-functional furniture, there are pieces which have completely sacrificed form for function, and they are as useful as they are plain. Pick a piece in which you will be able to store everything you need: shoes, books, clothes, pillows, and blankets, but which will be elegant and stylish at the same time.

2. Use The Ceiling

If your bedroom is too small for a wardrobe, you can improvise and use the ceiling to install a handy little hanging clothing rack instead. Not only will your bedroom appear more spacious without a big piece of furniture, such as a closet, but your clothes will be wrinkle-free because they have been hanged. You can use a simple copper pipe to make your own clothing rack which will look great. Even if you don’t need the extra storage space, you can use the rack to hang your art or your plants.

3. Declutter

The simplest, yet the most difficult advice – declutter the room. Unlike your kitchen which can be turned into a dining room or your living room where you can work, the bedroom should be a sanctuary – a quiet place where you can relax after a long day. Other than the bed, a bedside table or two, and a cupboard, you don’t need anything else in the room.

4. Pick The Right Colors

It might seem like a great idea to paint the walls of your bedroom dark blue, black, or maroon, but keep in mind that dark colors make the space appear smaller. Instead, you should paint your walls and ceiling with light shades which will visually open up the space. Also, light colors reflect the light better, and it will be a great way to illuminate the space and brighten up your mood. If, however, you’re a fan of dark shades and want them in your bedroom somehow, you could try painting only the wall behind your bed. Done well, this will provide a sharp contrast with the rest of the room and make it appear more spacious.

5. Use The Walls

The best way to use your walls is to hang pictures or decorative wall clocks, but why not pair art with some clever storage ideas? Make your own small glass or wooden shelves, and if possible, place them in corners so you could use as much of the space as you can. Another way in which you can easily create an illusion of space is big mirrors, as they reflect the natural light making the room appear more spacious than it is.

Small bedrooms are a real challenge to remodel and redecorate. However, you don’t have to give up on the idea of having a king-size bed of your dreams just because your bedroom is small. With a little bit of creativity, you can create a more spacious bedroom. Improvise with the rest of the furniture, light, and bright colors, and you will easily make your bedroom look stylish and cozy, while at the same time adding a much-needed sense of space.

Guest Room Design Matters: 5 Stylish and Affordable Solutions

by Leave a Comment

Image 1 source: hgtv.com

When designing a home, guest room is almost always at the bottom of your priority list. And that is no surprise, since no one has guests all year round. Still, the one time when you do have a guest staying in that room, you will notice your mistake and want to fix it. Leaving a family member or a friend from out of town to sleep in an uncomfortable half-furnished room suggests that you are a bad host, and you surely don’t want to leave that impression. All of this doesn’t mean that you must invest the same amount of money as you did in designing your bedroom. Here are a few affordable solutions that will help you turn a cheap roadside motel into a cozy overnight stay.

1. A Fresh Coat of Paint

Image 2 source: hgtv.com

Some paint can go a long way when it comes to a room’s overall appearance. You can paint the guest room when painting the rest of the house, especially if you have some paint leftovers. Try not to choose any funky color, and if you have some deeper hues, mix them up with white to get a nice soothing shade. Some of the colors that fit into this story the best are blue, beige, green, white coffee, sand, and white, because they can combine well with different styles and furniture.

2. Build a Comfortable Bed

This is an inevitable item when it comes to designing the guest room. You don’t have to splurge on the most expensive bed frames and mattresses, but it is important not to skimp either. A bed frame can be built out of retired palettes which will cost you almost nothing, but it will still be visually pleasing. Now you will have enough money left to invest in a quality mattress.

3. Introduce Different Storage Solutions

After an uncomfortable bed, one of the things guests hate the most when staying in someone’s house is when they can’t unpack because they have no place to put their stuff. This is especially annoying if they are staying for a couple of days.

Image 5source: houzz.com

Installing a small custom wardrobe won’t cost you a lot, and it can be useful to have even when the guests are not there, so you can store your winter clothes in summer and vice versa. You can also add some interesting storage solutions that can, at the same time, act like decorative elements, such as vintage chest you bought at your local flea market.

4. DIY Nightstands

Nightstands can be very cheap in furniture stores, but why bother spending any money on it when you can make one on your own and that way give the room more character? It can be enough to use a small stool, but if you really want to make something special, you can re-purpose an old bookcase, vintage suitcase, old typewriter table, a wall-mounted shelf, or a reclaimed log. To make the nightstand more appealing for guests, add a vase with fresh flowers, carafe with water, a lamp and a couple of books.

5. Enrich the Room with Textures

Layering different textures makes each room look more special and homey. First, give your guests a soft place to land on in the morning by placing a shaggy or faux fur area rug on each side of the bed. An extra knitted blanket or two on the bottom of the bed will not only make the room look like something on the cover of Architectural Digest, but it will also let the guests know that you are concerned about their comfort. A bunch of throw pillows on the bed will serve the same purpose. Make the room appear more livable, by adding a sitting corner (a simple armchair and small table will do the purpose) and some striking artwork on the wall.

Now that you see how simple this is, aren’t you sorry you didn’t devote more attention to guest room design before? A few of these affordable tricks are enough to make you want to switch your stylish bedroom for this charming space.
