Be subtle
While each year brings a swathe of new on-trend colours, with this year highlighting wonderfully bright hues, these should be used elsewhere in the house.
When it comes to the bedroom, you want a place of tranquillity and bolder colours can offset this. Therefore a more monochrome scheme of creams and light greys and gentle tans will be best. If you want to introduce colours, do it through the accessories, such as cushions and throws, opting for lighter blue, lavender and green hues.
Stay simple
As a place of peace and calm, you don’t want your room to be too busy. So, while you may want a mountain of pillows and cushions, alongside stacks of books and maybe a large number of keepsakes and photos on the walls – don’t.
Instead, rather than cosying up the bed with too many pillows, have fewer that are better quality. Meanwhile, all the keepsakes can be distributed elsewhere, as you need to keep the space more minimal to help your mind relax and unwind after a long day.
Furniture is key
From your bed and bedside tables to the wardrobe and dresser, finding the right furniture is key to the feel of your room.
Keeping it a simple, neutral colour will add to the subtleness of the room while choosing more slim-line, dainty items, if you have a small room, is much better than bulky furniture, as it won’t dominate the space. On the flip side, large rooms need bulky furniture to prevent the room from looking bare and incomplete, which will make you want to fill it with too many keepsakes and similar unnecessary items.
Storage solutions
Having somewhere to keep everything is key, as it’ll help keep you organised and calm.
Clever solutions such as a bed that lifts up, or smaller boxes inside wardrobes, or seating areas that lift up to be used as a place for items are always handy. This helps everything become part of the room too, keeping it sleek and simple, ready for you to unwind.
Let the light in
Finally, lighting in a bedroom is key. From a stylish blind and light curtain to add a chic touch while also letting natural light in to help wake you up, to making sure you have enough light in the evening, it’s all important.
When it comes to the evening light, make sure you have several smaller lamps to give a relaxed ambience, rather than one bulb, which can sometimes make it hard to focus, especially if you read at night.
And there you have it, a few simple, yet entirely effective ways to have a chic bedroom, where you can unwind with ease.
