The bedroom is your personal sanctuary and needs to be the most relaxing and comfortable place in the house. However, it is easy to overlook when decorating a new home – most of us tend to focus on the areas where we entertain; the parts of the house that other’s see. Here are a few suggestions for turning your bedroom into a cozy retreat.
Choosing the right wall decor is important. You may want to think of a theme and envision the final result. Once you have a picture in mind (or on paper), it will be easier for you to come up with the design.
If you are painting the walls, choose a soothing color that will help you relax. I like powder blue, browns, or a nice warm white. If you like to have more than one color, paint your wall in vertical stripes or add a horizontal “accent stripe” all around the room.
Wallpapers can be used in more ways than one; as an allover wall design, as a border, or in place of a headboard, for example. Paint the wall in a color that matches your wallpaper, cut out a headboard shape of the wallpaper and place over your bed. Voila – wall decor and headboard all in one!
You can have your passions reflected on your walls as well. If you are a music lover, display a few musical instruments on your walls. If you are a sports aficionado, decorate your walls with an item from your favorite sport, like a surfboard or tennis racket, or mount a floating shelf and display a football or trophies. If you love travel and geography, use maps as wallpapers, or frame a few large ones and use them as wall art.
One popular way of personalizing a room is by adding wall quotes. There are tons of materials and designs to choose from, and if you can’t find your favorite saying, most companies are happy to custom make one for you. Wall quotes are easy to apply and inexpensive, but to make it even more so, you can make them yourself. Cut out letters from scrapbooking papers or paint a portion of your wall with magnetic paint and use fridge magnets. This way you can have a different quotation every day.
Your bedroom is your own personal space and should be a place where you can escape from the everyday and just relax. Decorating it in a style that allows you to just that is important. Make sure to stay away from images that create negative emotions, overly busy patterns and colors that are energizing, and instead use colors and items that bring happy memories or sweet dreams.
