5 Tips for Designing a Beautiful & Comfortable Bedroom
5/10/2019If you live with your family or entertain often, many of the rooms inside your home may be designed with the comfort and enjoyment of others in mind. Planning your bedroom interior design, on the other hand, allows you to decorate a space that is all for you! (And possibly the special person you share it with.) Our Lake of the Ozarks luxury furniture store has many options available and the tips in today's blog will help you pick out the pieces that are perfect for you.
Choose Color Wisely
The colors that you choose for your bedroom can make a big difference in the feeling you get while you are in there. For the walls, soothing shades of blues and greens are the most common for relaxing. Bolder jewel-toned colors like deep purples and rich topaz bring about cozy, comforting feelings. Bright primary colors are best left for other rooms.
When you incorporate more neutral tones, it will allow you to add pops of color with bedding, rugs, and accessories to spice things up. It's a lot easier to make quick-changes often to the look of your bedroom by switching out those accessories rather than the larger pieces of furniture.
Make It Easy To Move Around
A good bedroom needs a bed, 1 or 2 bedside tables, and a dresser. It is wise to try to keep at least 3 feet between the bed and the side walls. Also strive to have at least 2 feet between low furniture such as bedside tables, dressers, and chairs. Not crowding everything together too much will help to give you that open, more relaxing feeling a bedroom should have. When space allows, you can begin adding more items like a comfy chair or possibly a bench at the end of the bed.
Use Room Size For Guidance
Just like all the rooms in your home, bedroom furniture should fit the scale of the space you are decorating. If you have a large bedroom, small pieces of furniture will look lost in it, while giant bedroom sets stuffed into a tiny room make it look cluttered and far from relaxing. For rooms with ceilings that are particularly high, visually bring it down by using beds with tall headboards and bookshelves or an armoire that is tall.
Think Storage
It is very difficult to design a room to be a serene getaway when there is a lot of stuff scattered all around. Good storage solutions allow you to keep your belongings put away and out of sight, relieving the stress that too much clutter can cause. There are many excellent pieces of furniture built specifically for this purpose at John Elliott Interiors that are not only functional but also beautiful to look at. 
Include Several Lighting Options
"Layering" the lighting in your bedroom (and all rooms) is a wonderful idea. Small bedside lamps, floor lamps in the corner, and possibly accent lighting over a gorgeous piece of artwork all lend to different vibes at different times, depending on how they are used together. Sheer curtains and lavish window dressings frame a pretty view when you want to let natural light in, but incorporating thick curtains or blinds that can keep the light out is a good idea for those days when you want to sleep in. 
Once you have the colors picked out and all of the right pieces in their proper places, treat yourself to some luxurious bedding, comfy blankets, and big fluffy pillows. Make your bedroom a place you can't wait to go to in the evening and you hate to leave in the morning. Your own private little getaway.
