When it comes to redecorating a bedroom, there a few staple pieces of furniture that are so important to get just right in order to make the rest of your room a haven that you long to be in. If you can create a perfect marriage with both style and functionality in your chosen bedroom design then you’ve achieved what many struggle with, especially if you’ve done this without the help of an interior designer.
The right furniture will make or break the look of the whole room and so making sure you choose the best pieces for the space is key to ensuring you create the aesthetic of your dreams; get this right and everything else will fall into place.
From wardrobe styles to colour and material choices, sumptuous seating and more, we delve into what it takes to get your bedroom furniture choices spot on so you can enjoy some relaxing time in this stylish space.
Choose a style
First things first, you need to decide what style you want for your bedroom as this will inform your choices when it comes to colour, pattern, style of furniture, materials and more. Is it a zen-like retreat you’re seeking to create, a place where all of your worries and stresses are left at the door? Perhaps you dream of dramatic décor in your bedroom or a French country-style boudoir awaits. Decide on your theme or style first and this will be the biggest hurdle in your new bedroom design conquered, informing your choices thereafter.
Wardrobes
Along with the bed, the wardrobe is the biggest piece of furniture in the bedroom and so making sure you get the right piece here will be a big step for your room. Don’t overlook the wardrobe as there are so many beautiful options out there to choose from that will be an anchor for the whole look of the space. Stunning styles and practical features, such as those to be found on Wardrobe Direct, combine here to give you an important piece of furniture that will be well used and that can stand front and centre in your bedroom design.
Pick your colours
What colours evoke comfort for you? How big, bold and bright do you want to go with your chosen colour palette? There’s nothing wrong with showing off your personality in your bedroom design, but make sure that, ultimately, you’re left with a room that you can relax in. Blues and greys are a popular colour pairing to choose here, while we’re seeing pinks and greens more often in bedrooms, whether used separately or together. Natural tones are also popular and will work well with any wood furniture you opt for.
Bed frame
Once you’re happy with your colour choices and style, your vision for your new bedroom can really be brought to life with your choice of bed frame. Sleek and slim four poster frames look great in a contemporary room that is calling out for grandeur, while upholstered beds look great in just about any style you choose. Consider design, texture, colour, and if you’ll need storage under your bed, and you’ll be well on your way to creating a dreamy bedroom.
Seating
Whether you’re reading a book, putting on your socks, doing your hair and makeup, or something else, it’s always handy to have some seating in your bedroom, and it adds another dimension to the space. Ottomans, benches at the foot of the bed, armchairs, window seats, stools at a dressing table, there are plenty of ways to add some seating styles to the room for a more welcoming feel.
Bedside tables
A really important way to anchor the room and finish it off nicely is with a pair of bedside tables. They may seem like a small item in comparison to the wardrobe, for example, but they can impact a bedroom in the most positive of ways. Make sure your bedside tables match, add a lamp to both and a some type of storage like a little drawer. If you fancy something more contemporary, floating shelves look great, too.
Chest of drawers
You can never have too much storage. There has never been a truer statement than this, and within your bedroom, though you’ll have a wardrobe to store hanging clothes, don’t underestimate the need for a chest of drawers as well. It also gives you the opportunity to store items on top, which will always come in handy.
