Ideal Bedroom Design: Tips from Professionals

A beautiful headboard will help set the tone for the entire interior, and elegantly chosen textiles make a great addition. Curtains, duvets, and various decorative accessories will help highlight your individuality.

By the way, about relaxation! The right shades—olive, linen, green tea, lavender—can help you set a calm mood. To wake up refreshed in the morning, it's helpful to position windows correctly. It is preferable for windows to face east so that your day starts with sunshine, charging you with the right energy.

A full wardrobe has long ceased to be a women's dream only. Having one in the bedroom is a necessity for both men and women. Everything in one place—what could be better? If space allows, it's best to integrate the wardrobe. Choose mirrors that are full-length. However, never place them directly opposite the entrance (according to Feng Shui, this causes energy and money to leak out).

Surround yourself with comfortable items. For example, this can be a tray for your coffee cup on a small side table. Pay special attention to choosing bedding. Remember that it should match the style and color of your bedroom's interior—this creates additional harmony and comfort.

What makes a bedroom ideal? Much depends on future users and their personal preferences. For example, in Ancient Rome, bedrooms were often made small and painted red—this made men appear larger. Times changed, and tastes evolved. With a wide variety of possible stylistic solutions available today, we now have the opportunity to choose what suits us best.

And here's a small secret related more to convenience than beauty. Having duplicate light switches next to the bed will make your bedroom more comfortable.

An ideal bedroom... Should it be bright to wake up refreshed in the morning? Or should it be decorated in warm, rich tones like coffee-caramel to make it cozy for sleep? That’s a choice of the owner. But good ventilation is never out of place. If you plan to install an air conditioner, think carefully about where exactly to place it so that the airflow doesn’t blow directly onto a sleeping person but cools the room effectively.

Bedding should be pleasant, comfortable, and of high quality. Choose the mattress carefully—it affects your spine and neck health. Don’t skimp on it.

Plan the placement of outlets and switches. It's most convenient when you can turn off the lights in the bedroom without getting out of bed, and if needed, control all the lights in the house (you can connect all light fixtures to be switched off from the bedroom). As for outlets, it's useful to have a couple nearby for charging your phone.

An ideal bedroom is one where it’s easy to wake up and fall asleep. What do you need for that? A news TV show in the morning and calming movies in the evening. Many things in the bedroom can be done without, but digital TV with a wide selection of programs is an absolute must-have. Modern TV boxes also allow you to customize your viewing schedule: record shows, pause them, and replay them.

How can you start and end your day without wishing your loved one a good night or a pleasant morning? Modern technologies like Skype, WhatsApp, and Viber let you see familiar faces even when you're on the other side of the world. All you need is high-speed internet over a dedicated channel.

And the traditional item in a bedroom—home phone. Equip it with modern features: caller ID, conference calling, call waiting—and host relaxed meetings with friends without leaving the bed. Important: it’s easiest to create a relaxation and communication corner by running cables for phone, internet, and TV during the renovation phase. A UTP cat 5 cable should be run from the hallway, where the ONT modem is usually located, to the points where the TV, PC, and phone will be installed.
