Bedroom Design Ideas

you'll save yourself time and money. Using computer-aided software is the best way to plan. You can plan your room to its actual dimensions and you can see exactly how your room will look so there aren't any last-minute time-consuming rearrangements. Bedroom design software allows you to put everything in place to its actual dimensions, whether it's a built-in wardrobe or a vase on a bedside table, the accurate software will create your room so you can be confident everything is where is should be when it comes to redecorating.

Planning

Hopefully, you'll have used interior design software to plan the fundamentals of your room - where to position your bed and how to maximise space-saving furniture efficiently - you will need to consider what you'll be using your bedroom for. There are no set rules about what you can and can't have in your room, some recommend not having a computer space or television so you can keep your bedroom as a place to wind down, but others prefer to have a laptop in their room - it's completely down to your personality. Your bedroom should be a respite, a place to go to relax and wind down after a hard day's work.

Decoration

The colour scheme is important, remember the bedroom is your own space and also a space you spend a lot of time relaxing so the colours should reflect this. You can either opt for warm or cool colours - warm colours are reds, yellows and oranges whereas cool colours are blues, creams and pastels. Cool colours tend to be more relaxing and give the illusion of the room being bigger, which is why these are a favourite for bedrooms. That doesn't mean you can't opt for warm colours as well, these colours tend to bring everything closer so make a room look smaller - an option for spacious rooms to make them feel more cosy. Choosing the base colour for your room is an important decision - colour can act differently in different types of lighting - an age old trick to test how the colour reacts is to paint the inside of a shoebox in your chosen shade and see how the colour changes. This gives you a bird's eye view of how your room will look.

Flooring

Your choice of flooring should be comfy enough for bare feet and should ideally cushion out any noise. You could opt for floorboards, which are practical and purchase a colourful rug to cover the majority of floor space. An accessory as simple as a rug can have a huge impact on the overall look of your bedroom, and by simply changing the colour every now and again, you can transform the way your bedroom looks. Try and remember to keep your room as clutter-free as possible by maximising storage space and making sure everything in your room has a place - and not on the floor!
