March is national bed month and to celebrate, we’re going to explore three of our top tips for creating your perfect bedroom. By finding the perfect colour options, fabrics and furnishings you can find peace in your bedroom, and enjoy the myriad benefits of improved sleep and a stylish sanctuary of quiet tranquillity. Keen to learn more about how you can maximise your bedroom? Read on…

A little or a lot?

Finding the balance between a maximalist and a minimalist decor is particularly important in a bedroom’s interior design. From the right foundation, you can add colours, fabrics and even shapes into the space to truly express your personality.

There is a wide range of themes along the way, from chic minimalist scandi design, through to colourful maximalism, which you can think about also. You can consider a traditional style, something modern and cutting edge, or even a mixture of the two in the form of Hipstoric interior design. These different themes, many of which we’ve explored in other blogs, open up a fantastic array of colours and styles for you to consider.

When it comes to picking a theme for your bedroom, take time to mull over how much “stuff” you’d like on display. Once you’ve established where on the scale you’d like your decor to sit, you can then move on to colours and all the other fun considerations!

Great bedroom colours

Bedrooms are places where we relax and unwind. They are our sanctuaries and places where we go to recover. To maximise a bedroom’s calming potential, make sure you pick the right colour palette for your taste.

Different colours have varying effects on our psychologies ranging from calming sensations to energising us. Depending on how you want your bedroom to look, you can consider these starting points.

For calming bedroom interior design, green bedrooms, blues, neutrals, and off whites are all fantastic options. When used well, they will help you to switch off and find your zen. One tip here is to pick these colours in warmer shades to avoid your space feeling cold or uninviting.

Alternatively, you could try more invigorating colours such as orange, pink or yellow. These colours can help you feel energised and warm, even in the depths of winter. You can learn more about colours in our Psychology Of Colour blog.

Don’t skimp on quality

In today’s fast paced world of convenience, many of us fall into the trap of “it has to be finished fast”. While it’s important to ensure you have the basics from the get-go, interior design is often something that evolves over time.

As a result, consider buying quality, long lasting essentials for your bedroom, and from that base add to the accessories and details as the months and years go by. Making sure you have a good bed, comfy mattress and quality window furnishings should be your top priorities.

These items will help you to curate your style, while providing a range of practical benefits too. Naturally a good bed will help you get comfy, while a quality window furnishing will assist you finding deep sleep.

For the best result, look to blackout window blinds in the bedroom. Whether you select a roller blind made from specialist blackout fabric, or add a free blackout lining to your Roman blind or curtain, doing so will reduce the light entering your bedroom to an absolute minimum.
