The bedroom is one of the most important rooms in our home. And the pandemic has helped us to discover the importance of having a comfortable, beautiful bedroom that helps us rest. After all, it is the most personal and intimate space in the house.
To help you in this task, We have spoken with the decoration experts at Leroy Merlin to give us a few tips to decorate your room and transform it into a unique space inside your home.
Create a mood board to inspire you
Unless you are very clear about what you want, the best thing is to inspire you and create a mood board with everything you like to have everything at hand and get an idea of how it can be. Decide on the style, the predominant colors, what materials you would like to have, and which ones you don’t want to see even in paint.
Bet on color therapy to promote rest
To create an environment that encourages rest, it is important that soft and light colors dominate in your bedroom as indicated by the basic precepts of color therapy.
They are colors that they transmit us tranquility and that provide a feeling of well-being. Choosing these shades to paint the walls, the wallpaper, or for the bedding is a plus point of comfort.
Dressing the bed for the occasion
To choose the bedding, it is best to bet on the 100% cotton sheets, in satin or calico, they are soft, more comfortable and breathable, which makes them perfect for summer too. Also, try to choose bedding made with cotton from sustainable plantations.
So as not to make mistakes and be sure, bet on white sheets, a great base to combine with pillows or duvet covers in bolder colors or prints. Still, and although the color combinations are endless, remember that the bedroom is a place to relax, so opt for light colors better. In addition, they will help you to brighten the space.
Make a more personal bedroom thanks to DIY
Although there is a wide range of bedroom decoration on the market, we do not always find what we are looking for. So do not rule out DIY projects to make your bedroom more personal. For example, you can reuse an old-fashioned headboard or use a custom board padded with foam or wadding and lined with textile to taste.
In addition, you can accompany this DIY project with some cushions so that you can read more comfortably, or install a natural fiber rug. With these elements, you will get a boho style for your bedroom.
The nightstands, a must
Forget about boring nightstands. You have a world of possibilities before you thanks to new designs and different materials. Now, they do not have to match the dresser or the wardrobe, they can even be different from each other, with a more daring point. You can even customize them by painting them or changing the knobs.
Plants in the bedroom? Yes, thanks
Many people still believe the hoax that having plants in the bedroom is harmful to health, despite the fact that their oxygen consumption at night is minimal. On the contrary, the plants decorate, give a natural touch to the bedroom, and provide humidity to the environment. And also, there are species such as the Sanseviera, the Espatifilo or the Photos, which they purify the air. Others, like lavender, will help us fall asleep thanks to its aroma.
Everything in its place
Space is at a premium in many homes, where there is no place to store clothes, shoes or accessories for two people. And that leads us to think about the distribution and optimize the space to the maximum to take advantage of every inch of the bedroom.
On the tables you can store the smallest and most personal objects, like glasses, diaries, the book you read before going to sleep, hand cream … Still, it is better to have a fairly clear bedside table: it will be one of the last things before going to sleep, and it is better that this space is neat and light. In addition, we have to be aware that we also have to remove electronic devices such as tablets or mobile phones from the bedside.
When it comes to clothes, it is best to install a dresser to keep them tidy and protected. If you place them vertically it is easier to see each one of them and remove them without cluttering the drawer. In turn, and With the help of a mirror, some organizers and good lighting, its surface can become a very practical tall dresser.
If you talk about decoration, like the tables, the chest of drawers can be personalizedFrom painting it with new colors, lining the outside of the drawers with a nice vinyl or changing the handles. The wardrobe It is the key piece when storing clothes and accessories. Choose a modular wardrobe with drawers, shelves, trouser accessories and boxes to keep everything organized and at hand.
Memories must also have their place
We know that there are experts in order like Marie Kondo whose dogma is not to accumulate useless things. But there are photographs and memories of special moments that make us happy, and that help us personalize our bedroom. You can create a composition with frames of different sizes, and put it in a relevant place.
