Do you want to hear some tips on how to make your bedroom more stylish?

The bedroom has always traditionally been the centre of an apartment or house. That is why it is important to make it look and feel as good as you possibly can. Because a special interior also describes the character of the home, so put your own spin on it and redesign to your own taste. Be inspired along the way to ensure that you create a special atmosphere.

Arrangement of furniture in the bedroom

In order for your bedroom to look beautiful, we'll explain to you how to combine all the furniture appropriately and arrange it properly in the bedroom. The basic furniture of most bedrooms includes comfortable seating. Either a bed or a dressing table. They do not necessarily have to stand against the wall as usual, but can be flexibly combined freestanding in the room. This means you can play around with space and work with the natural light you have.  Freestanding interior or individual elements can be moved around as you like and can be optimally used as room dividers. Finding the right furniture is key, you may want to look at Richard Haworth

A more generous spatial effect is achieved when the bed and the dressing tables are not placed against the wall, but free-standing in the room or even in the centre. A focal point of a bed, dressing table, carpet and side table looks inviting and makes your bedroom a place to feel good. The rule here is: just try it out! However, if you place your furniture against the wall, you will lose less space and there will be no narrow niches or passages. When furnishing, make sure that all windows and doors can be opened and closed without any problems. Another tip is to also make sure that your plug points are kept free. So you can plug your lamps in for reading at night.

A focal point 

A welcoming centre point is very important, as it is the main thing you see when you enter your bedroom. In the bedroom this can be achieved with a beautiful hardboard, most often, or a feature wall that brings together the entire space. A piece of large art work, a chandelier, a mirror can all be features that will work. The different areas should be visually and also spatially separated from each other and at the same time form a harmonious whole.  As an eye-catcher, a spacious sofa bed in combination with a sleeper chair, which not only provides enough space for the family, but can also be used as a guest sleeping area if you don’t mind sharing. More flexible than a bulky couch, however, are seating groups of armchairs, stools and two-seaters. Add modern floor cushions and small freestanding side tables and your room situation will be perfect. It offers enough storage space for your home accessories such as magazines or your decorations. Add lighting to really capture the essence of the room. This can be done with lamps or even LED lights. If you want a bedroom with uniform shades, a consistent scheme should be created. Ideally, the dominating colours should create the atmosphere that you desire. 

What styles?

Every person has different tastes, interests, customs and traditions. Each bedroom can have a different style that we prefer. We have seen classic styles and modern minimalist styles dominate recently, but what really is your preference? Minimalism first conquered the visual arts and then followed architecture and design. Minimalist design reached its first peak in the 80s. Meanwhile, the art of omission has become an established style of living and frees our home from superfluous stuff such as drawers and bits and bobs we don’t need. The reduced design brings calmness, simplicity and order to your space, as everyday life can sometimes be complex and stressful enough. A country style bedroom can be great. It offers plenty of cosy elements, with cosy blankets and more. The Mediterranean country style impresses with its many ochre shades and the Scandinavian country style with its special charm and light-coloured furniture. So, the interior style brings a rural, romantic touch from the past. Hygge design works well also, a soft cosy vibe that makes us feel warm and fuzzy. You may want to look at adding plants, candles, soft blankets and softwoods to make the space feel homely. You can also make modern spaces cosy, add blankets, wicker soft lighting and you have the perfect ingredients.
