Dream Bedroom: How to Decorate a Room with Style

1. Rules of Good Taste

Color in the bedroom is not a means of self-expression. There should not be too much of it. Three different shades in one color palette is more than enough for interior decoration. This applies to walls, floors, and textiles alike. Choose simple and safe combinations: classic white and gray up to black; smoky gray and soft pink; pastel brownish-red and fresh turquoise. Such unions will create solid relationships that do not need constant proof of their loyalty to style.

Taste here is emphasized not by the choice of shade, but by the minimalist use of it. Do not try to fit all trends in one room, from zigzags to floral wallpapers. Choose something single, be restrained, and then the room will look noble and refined, regardless of the chosen interior style.

2. Life's Details

Pay attention to the details: door handles, light switches, incandescent lamps, baseboards - everything you usually forget about at the final stage of renovation. Don't put these pleasant chores off until later, because as we all know, nothing is more permanent than the temporary. If you're only planning a renovation but spotted a couple of wonderful door locks on sale - take them without hesitation. Even if you're just rearranging or want to refresh the interior, start with details: update curtain rods, freshen up paint on windowsills, cover your bed with a handmade throw.

3. Around and About

Nightstands and reading lamps are a combination of comfort and functionality. These details in the interior reflect a sense of style. Do not buy a set with a bed and two identical side tables, do not fall into the trap of utility, do not fear original and bold solutions, and consider the size of the room. If there is no space for a side table on the floor, try installing a suspended countertop or hanging shelves above the headboard. Also consider the needs of each family member. One person might only need a narrow bedside table for a glass of water and an alarm clock. Another may need a spot for books, cosmetics, and a nightlight.

A reading lamp or wall sconce is an essential element in a bedroom. Even if you don't read in bed, medium-level lighting in the bedroom is necessary to create a cozy atmosphere.

4. The Head of Sleep

The headboard is like a litmus paper that reveals whether you've gone too far with decoration or, on the contrary, forgot to pay attention to important details. Often, we leave headboard decoration to the bed manufacturers. In some cases, we care about its functionality, but mostly, the backrest is more of an addition to the frame. Nevertheless, remembering the rule to pay attention to details, one should not overlook this important point in room decor.

A bed usually occupies a large part of the bedroom, and the headboard is not only functional but also decorative. A classic soft backrest always looks very elegant. Wooden and metal headboards are often used in modern bed frames. For more comfort, they can be enhanced with soft cushions. A high backrest replaces wall decoration. Made from aged planks or painted with lacquer, it becomes an excellent decor for a bedroom in the loft style. A high soft backrest covered with velvet and adorned with decorative buttons fits perfectly into a classic interior.

5. Simplicity Is More Valuable Than Money

Are you unsure about the appropriateness of decor? Not sure about the color of curtains? Just take them off and store them in a distant drawer. Then come the extra picture frames, baskets, flowers, throws, and pillows. Too much decor can destroy any brilliant idea and permanently erase your bedroom from the list of tastefully decorated rooms. Abandon the idea of collecting porcelain figurines in a small room or placing a family tree above the bed headboard. Heavy draperies, overly heavy curtains, canopy - all these are good ways to decorate an interior. But do they suit your room? Most likely, using all these tricks at once is not the best idea. Especially if the bedroom is small. If you're afraid of overdoing it, feel that it's unnecessary, then it truly is unnecessary.
