The bedroom is invariably that part of your holiday home where you spend most of your time. Guests also love a nicely done-up bedroom. Psychologists say that if you pour your heart into the bedroom, you’ll wake up in the morning with a smile. So if you are bored with the way your holiday home bedroom looks – the same colors on the walls, the same art hanging above your bed etc – it is perhaps time to do-up the room. No doubt your linen keeps changing every season but you need more zing in here!
Here is how you can incorporate a couple of changes in the bedroom and give it a whole new look:
Bring in color and art: Shift furniture by placing your cupboard at a slant, with its back against a corner. Just a side table could provide that asymmetrical look, making a difference. For instance, a bookshelf could go into your living room. All this will give you a different perspective of space. Additionally place the objets d’art that you picked up here and there to bring out the character of the room.
Sheath your pillows with bed-sham – a cover that makes them look like cushions and place them on top of the bedcover, making the bed look inviting. For summers, stick to cotton and in winter, make sure you have cotton on the underside of the duvet: It’s important that the material that touches the skin is as natural as possible. And layer it with sheets, light quilts or a simple cotton blanket. Ensure that your basic bed linen is crisp and of very good quality.
Let your creativity run riot: Decorate a simple wall clock so that it looks like the sun, by sticking around the circumference pieces of twigs. Similarly, you can enhance the mirror in your bedroom by bordering it with motifs in various forms. Running the wallpaper right through your bedroom from the floor creates an impact. It looks trendy and it is simple to do. Soft, subtle and diffused lightning on either side of your bed allow for easy night reading. Also try changing the look of your bedroom by changing the colors of the curtains. Curtains are available in a wide variety of patterns and fabrics. Choose a color that works with your theme or try something entirely different. Sheer drapes and velvet curtains are two of today’s hottest trends.
Play with color: Consider an accent wall for your room. This is done by painting one wall of a room in a different color from the other three walls. The color of an accent wall may be similar to the color of the other three walls, or it may be dramatically different. But an accent wall should co-ordinate with the color scheme that you have chosen for the room. Do study popular bedroom colors while you are trying to choose your own bedroom paint, but in the end, pick whatever feels right. Your bedroom should reflect your personality and preferences.
Wardrobe: This is an important piece of bedroom furniture. Try finding a wardrobe with a mirror attached to it so that it can also serve as a dresser. You can also save space and money when you opt for beds that come with cabinets to hold clothes and other things.
Flooring: One of the most cost-effective ideas for a modern bedroom re-do is to have tile flooring. Throw some colorful rugs to bring about a huge change to the room. Besides, they are comfortable to walk on and easy to maintain.
Fragrance factor: The bedroom should have a calming, relaxing and of course, a romantic undertone. Lavender and chamomile are essential oils to relax and calm, and rose and jasmine add to the romantic quotient. Fragrant candles could also be used as alternatives to essential oils. Not only are they less cumbersome, but also create a romantic setting with diffused lighting. For wonderful fragrance that also provides romantic mood lighting, try sweet lilac scented candles.
Do away with clutter: An overflowing closet can interfere with the goal of creating a calm bedroom oasis. A great wardrobe system is a fantastic way of organising clothes, shoes, accessories and other bedroom clutter. You can maximise your bedroom’s storage capacity by extending storage space right up to the ceilings when building cabinets or closets.
Blackout windows: The presence of light – even dim light – can alter your natural sleep patterns, making for a less rejuvenating sleep. Block all sources of lights with blackout drapes. If you cannot find a pair you like, try one of these alternatives. Layered window treatments make a big difference as well. A combination of blinds or a shade, as well as drapery panels, gives a soft, fully-dressed look and offers additional light filtration.
Bedroom Accessories: Place a small fountain on the night stand and see its calming, soothing effect. The soft flowing sound of water helps to put even the most high-strung insomniac into peaceful slumber. The final completing touches that make your bedroom go from ordinary to extraordinary are the accent pieces you use. Choose favourite personal items, which will bring pleasure and create a sense of belonging. Like the old saying, if you pour your heart into your bedroom, you will leave the area in the morning with a smile on your face and a song in your heart.
