A bedroom is a place to relax and recharge, and for this reason, it should genuinely reflect your personal style. Whether your ideal room features soothing shades of beige or cheerful pink accents, it should be a place you find enjoyable. In this guide to inspired bedroom design, we'll walk you through some steps to creating your perfect space.
Figure out your design preferences
When choosing your bedroom decor, a good place to start is by asking yourself what you find appealing, design-wise. What colors catch your eye? Do you like rooms with a minimalist feel, or do you prefer the cozy warmth of heavy wooden furniture and lots of wall art? For those without a clear sense of direction, this might mean sitting down to look at photos of staged bedrooms, whether on social media, interior design websites and blogs, or even catalogs from home goods retailers. Sometimes it's easier and more informative to decide what you don't like, and go from there. It's often recommended to create a "mood board" of sorts, highlighting design ideas you find inspiring. Once you have an idea of preferences as far as color scheme and layout, it's time to move on to budget.
Determine priorities and set a budget
Although a budget sets parameters for the cost of a bedroom design project, it doesn't have to mean sacrificing decor that makes you happy. A budget should reflect priorities. For example, if you're someone who needs a queen-size bed or larger to sleep well at night, this might take precedence over spending the bulk of your project funds on something lower down on the list, such as a whimsical vanity or dresser. After all, are you really going to appreciate those things if you're sleep deprived? Beyond this, a budget can also give you hard numbers with which to negotiate for better deals on furniture and decorating. If a salesperson knows how much you're willing to pay, they might be able to recommend solutions such as waiting for an upcoming sale or even purchasing items on layaway.
Make the space work for you
A final consideration when designing your new room is to make the space work for you. Depending on what it is you need out of the room, there are no shortage of resources on topics like clever ways to increase storage in a small room, or even make a room look bigger using decorating tricks.
