Bedroom is the place to unwind and rest after a hard day, and also for your romantic pursuits. So it is important that your bedroom is soothing, tidy and aesthetically decorated to calm your mind and make you feel pampered. Turn your bedroom into a blissful oasis with the following ten tips and bring in peace and romance into this private space.
1. Bring in Color
If your bedroom is done in a boring pastel shade, it is time to garnish it with some splashes of bright shades. Choose some delicious shades like chocolate, purple, orange or turquoise for your walls. If it is too bold for you, create an accent wall with a bright color, keeping the other three in a light. You can also use wallpapers on the wall with some bold motifs in a vivid color.
2. Organize
De-clutter your bedroom to make it an idyllic retreat. Keep your pillows and bed covers neatly placed. The extra bed linens can go inside a box, basket or inside your closet. Put the piled up dirty clothes on the floor into a laundry basket and transport in into washroom. Arrange the cosmetics on your dresser neatly in a tray. Get hooks behind the doors to hang your bags and belts.
3. Get Rest
Bedroom is the place to sleep, relax and chill out. So shift your television and computer out. If you have a small home office in your bedroom, then allot a specific work zone and limit your papers and other work related paraphernalia to this area only and not on your bed.
4. Adult Zone
Teach children to organize their toys and books in boxes and shelves in their rooms. Toys lying all over your bedroom should not be allowed. Children’s laundry and clothes should be folded and kept in cupboards in their rooms. This way you will be able to spend some quiet moments doing your own things or with your partner.
5. Furniture
Make your bed the focal point of your bedroom with a decorative headboard. A chair, stool or and extended lounger will allow you to sit while doing your make-up or reading a book, keeping your bed neat. Keep your things neatly arranged in a chest of drawer.
6. Furnishings
Add color with beautiful furnishings. Settle for a color theme and extend it with bed linens, curtains, pillows and rugs in similar color. You can skillfully synthesize small and big prints or solids with patterns for a blissful ambience.
7. Cushions
Pile up a bunch of cushions with bold patterns on your bed. Mix cushions with delicate embroidery, lace, tassels and brocade to give an opulent look to your room. Pillows with touches of embroidery will add to the drama.
8. Candles
Make a romantic setting with aromatic candles. Place a bunch of candles in as per the color scheme of your room or red ones for a neutral room. You can place them on your bedside table or the dresser as a decorative piece. However, when lighted, consider their safety aspect and place them accordingly. Never go to sleep keeping your candles lighted to avoid fire hazard.
9. Accessories
Make your room really blissful with different accents and accessories. Keep yours trinkets in carved boxes on the dresser or on the bedside table. A hand painted shade can top a bamboo lamp in weave pattern or a brocade shade can adorn a plain ceramic lamp to incorporate a touch of middle-east. An embroidered throw can either be hung on the wall or placed on the bed. Put romantic paintings on the wall.
10. Framed Pictures
Add some personal touches to your bedroom with pictures of family, your children, and even your parents. Pictures of your childhood with that of your children’s will make an interesting idea. You can create a collage on your bedroom wall with pictures of your holidays and special occasions to help you rekindle your fond memories.
