There are many key aspects to keep in mind to get that our bedroom looks like a magazine, on the one hand the lighting, on the other hand the choice of bedside tables, also the painting or wallpaper of the walls … But today we are going to focus on the queen of the bedroom: the bed.
Maybe some of you have renewed the bedding This week, looking for something especially romantic for Valentine’s Day, but we will go a little beyond the bedding, analyzing in detail all the issues to consider.
Bed or couch?
The first decision, which will depend on our taste and needs, but largely also on the budget … will be that of choose between sofa or bed (or simply a box spring with legs). If we have little space in the room, the couch can help us organize the storage, if we have a lot of space and we fall in love with a bed, go ahead with it! And if our budget is very limited or the purchase is provisional, even with the most basic bed base that comes to mind we can enjoy a dream bedroom.
You also have to keep in mind that there are Lovely canapés in themselves, with headboard incorporated in trend materials, such as natural wood or velvet, and there are other more basic (and cheaper) in which functionality prevails … The important thing is that according to the design we choose we will have to take into account whether the structure deserves to be or not protagonist of decoration.
An elegant headboard
As we have already mentioned, it is possible that we buy a bed or a sofa with built-in headboard, but it is also possible that it is not so. If the bed or sofa we have chosen, is functional, but reduced price and without headboard, we can add it to older. The possibilities are almost endless and the headboard brings a lot of personality to the bedroom and largely defines its decorative style. That is why it is important that we think well of what material and what size we want it and, above all, that we choose a well proportioned headboard in measures and elegant In the design.
XXL bedding
If we have bought a bed or a functional sofa but rather ugly and even if we have not been able to add the headboard, we still have options to achieve a magazine bed. In these cases the key will be in the bedding. The trend observed in publications and catalogs is the XXL bedspread use. If the options to choose headboard are wide, in bedding we have absolutely everything to choose from, all kinds of textiles in all colors and sizes and without limits when combining. Duvet covers, plaids, blankets, bedspreads, even sheets larger than what would correspond to the bed can help us to dress it and hide its structure when we don’t want it to be seen.
Contrast of colors, textures and prints
And we still lack the touch of contrast with the details, although most catalogs and magazines choose neutral and clear tones as the basis for their most inspiring bedrooms, it is also true that they later play with colors and patterns to a greater or lesser extent . The cushions cannot all be the same, we already have that clear, different in size, shape, texture, drawing and color. We can also add a blanket that puts the discordant note or any other element, but let’s forget to combine everything and take risks in the combinations.
We could still add more things, such as decorative elements on the headboard wall, art prints or paintings, mirrors and other details or lamps that on the bedside table direct their light towards the bed … But they are already details that are part of the overall set of the bedroom. As far as magazine bed It means, choosing it and above all dressing it well is the fundamental thing.
