Bedroom Designs: Your Comfortable Haven

By: Deon Melchior


Your bedroom is probably the room that you love the most. It's a place where you can get your privacy to curl up on your bed and read a book and it's a place where you like to enjoy your night time's rest. However, in order to do that, you must feel comfortable with how your room looks and feels. That's why it's important to have some sort of a design in your bedroom. Here are some tips that will help you figure out what kind of design would suit your bedroom tastes.

Ask yourself these questions:

1) What's your personality like? Are you energetic and outgoing? Or are you more simple and laid back?

If you're energetic and outgoing, you want your room to be more colourful and fun. For example, if you're a nature type of person and you love hikin and being in the outdoors, you could start off by painting your room a nice shade of red, blue, or green. The reason for this is because you want your room to be easy to play around with when it comes to furniture and accessorizing. If you're a simple and laid back type of character, you would most likely go with simple off-white, peach or soft tones to your room. This way you can eliminate the possibility of the room looking too "loud" and bold. By choosing the colour of your room, you're beginning the process of a complete make-over.

2) Do you like themes?

If the answer is yes, choosing a theme is another great way to get started on designing your room. If you're adventurous, you may have one bold colour painted on your wall, with furniture and accessories that resembles adventures you've been on or would like to go on in the future. If you're artistic, you may want to do a mixture of different colours on your walls. For instance, make two walls one colour, and two walls another colour. Then you can accessorize with funky furniture and wall art. If you love travelling, your theme could be your favourite city or vacation. For example, your theme could be Paris. If you're feeling risky, you could get a picture of the Eiffel Tower and draw it on the wall and paint it. Or, you could even purchase a Paris-themed wallpaper that you could mount on easily. Then your room an be accessorized with a touch of red to portray the romantic feel to it. No matter what theme you decide to go with, it becomes easier to plan out your design more thoroughly.

3) Are you willing to get new furniture or will you be using the same furniture?

If your budget is large, you may want to get a whole new set of furniture pieces in your room. Whether it's a closet or entertainment set, or a whole new bed set, new furniture will make you feel like you've moved in to a new house. You'll feel more rejuvenated and will most likely get a better goodnight's rest.

4) Do you spend a lot of time in your room? Do you do your work and watch television in your room, or is just a place where you get dressed and go to sleep?

This will also help you figure out the perfect design for you room. If you do more than sleep and get dressed in your bedroom, you may want to design in such a way that it's practical and easy for you to get around the room. A good way to do this is by getting a few large pieces of furniture rather than a number of little ones. That way you can place these few pieces where ever it is most convenient and you wouldn't have to worry about anything else other than those pieces. If you're not in your room often, smaller, inexpensive pieces will be more easier for you to design a room that's just easy and straightforward.

No matter what your style is, no matter how practical you want it to be, your bedroom design is the best way to give your room the lift that it needs. And not only are u giving your room a facelift, but you're giving yourself the room that you won't be able to get away from! So, go ahead. Take a risk. Be adventurous. The end result would pay off all your hard work.
