Your bedroom holds a lot of significance within your home. It’s not just a space; it’s where you go to unwind after a hectic day. It doesn’t matter if you’re settling into a new home, or have lived there for quite some time, creating the perfect bedroom design may seem a little challenging. Our team at Bazaar Home Decorating has five tips to assist you in transforming your bedroom into the perfect respite. 

Keep it Simple

As soon as you enter your room, you should immediately feel a wave of calmness wash over you. However, achieving this sense of calm is tough when you have superfluous items throughout the space. The first step is to look at your surroundings. Do you see items that belong in another area of the home? Are there clothes lying on an underutilized chair? Now is the perfect time to remove them from the room. Think about organizing, relocating, or donating them if they are in good condition. Once you start to clean out the unnecessary items, you’ll start to see a transformation take place. 

 

Create Clear Pathways

While you’re in the beginning stages of revitalizing your bedroom design, do you find yourself bumping into items as you make your way to the closet, bathroom, or dressers? The key here is to arrange the furniture so there is a clear path of movement. We recommend starting with the biggest piece of furniture. In most homes, this is the bed. Move it away from the door to create a more open atmosphere. Not only will this continue to simplify the look of your space, but it’ll help on those mornings when you’ve just woken up and are getting ready.

 

Customize the Window Treatments 

Natural light may be one thing that drew you to your current home. While it greatly improves one’s mood, it also establishes an airy and vibrant feeling! Although it has are many perks, there may be times when you wish for the sunshine to come through on your terms. Striking a perfect balance between light and privacy is a must. Thankfully, this can easily be done with customized window treatments. To take your bedroom design to the next level, these treatments can be catered to your wants and needs. If you like complete darkness when you sleep, or enjoy the soft glow of filtered light coming through the windows, there are many options to choose from. 

You may be looking for something that requires little effort. If so, smart shades are for you. With a simple click of an app on your phone, or a remote, you can adjust the look and feel of your room almost instantaneously. Perhaps you wish to block out natural light entirely. Opt for room-darkening shades. You can block out the sun during the day and have unmatched privacy at night. 

Be Intentional with Lighting

The bedroom has seen a transformation–from a place meant for just sleeping, to a multifunctional space. Whether you sit at a desk and work from home, binge-watch your favorite shows, read a good book, or talk on the phone to friends, this room can serve many purposes. Why not have lighting that matches them? The light you use to work throughout the day varies greatly from the light you desire when you watch television. This is where different levels of lighting come into play. From the soft glow of a table lamp, and sconces framing the bed, to a beautiful chandelier, you can pick the lighting that works best for your daily routine and preferences. 

 

Style Your Space 

Lastly, there is something special about a bedroom design that’s infused with your personality and style. You may find inspiration in magazines, online, or your imagination. Ultimately, the goal is to curate a place that matches your wants and needs. If you saw a beautiful bedspread in store, a breathtaking feature wall in a magazine, or are envisioning a dream area rug, there are so many places you can start! We recommend starting with one piece and building from there. You will be surprised by what you can come up with when you have picked your starting point. Before you know it, your bedroom will be a place you eagerly retreat to after a long day.
