Bedroom - one of the most important rooms in the house. How a person feels in the sleeping space is very important. That is why the interior should not only be functional, but also beautiful.
Beautiful interiors: new items, current design ideas
Unfortunately, not every family can afford to allocate a special room for a bedroom. More often people have a bedroom-living room in an apartment, and they have to equip a sleeping place taking into account the dual functionality. However, modern real bedroom designs take this feature into account. You can find enough examples where these two rooms are combined into one simply and tastefully. This year, the designers have worked tirelessly to create new concepts in the interior. Current trends reflect events in the world of art, fashion, architecture. The modern lifestyle forces interior designers to offer people more and more new solutions that used to seem extravagant, but now are the absolute norm.
However, a cozy bedroom can be recreated with your own hands, without the help of a specialist.

Modern fashion is loyal to the choice of styles, allowing you to equip the bedroom in the Baroque style, and in any modern … When making repairs, you definitely need to think in advance what your bedroom will be like: chic, cozy, or maybe spartan with a minimum of details. However, some trends can be used in any design. For example, very often in recent years, interior designers have resorted to using blue. Also, blotches of the popular shade of Marsala will help refresh the sleeping place and "modernize" it. The growing importance of ecology in the life of modern man has also left its mark. The use of environmentally friendly materials in the interior of the bedroom is one of the most relevant trends. Wood and raw stone in the interior is no longer a curiosity, but the norm.
The gray color, the abundance of smooth open surfaces, the angularity of the forms also represent a new look at beauty. The graphic theme promises to remain in trend for several more years.

Options for different sizes and shapes of the room
Bedroom sizes vary widely, but contemporary architectural fashion offers great solutions for all types and sizes. The bedroom does not need to be rectangular. Options for a square room are presented in a huge number. It doesn't matter if you are the proud owner of a large bedroom of 40 meters or you can allocate only 17 square meters for sleeping space. m., a functional interior solution that would meet the latest trends can be found for both.
If we talk about the design of a square bedroom, it is better to give preference to those interior options in which the bed is located in the middle. This will visually "stretch" and fill the space. At the same time, if the room is small, such an arrangement of the bed is an irrational use of the area. If this is the case, try to place furniture along the walls, leaving the area in the center of the room empty.
Common features in a small bedroom are the use of light colors, unusual accents that can divert attention from the small size of the room, and an abundance of light. All this will help to make the dimensions of the room visually larger. The interior design of a rectangular room can also be very varied. Regardless of the size of the bedroom, its shape imposes certain restrictions on the possibility of arranging furniture.
Usually rectangular bedrooms are very narrow, so the main task is to visually expand the space. However, the emphasis on the shape of the room is often the only correct interior solution. For example, in this case, the designers extended the room even further, using horizontal stucco elements on the walls and geometric floor patterns.
A small rectangular bedroom appears wider and larger thanks to the use of light colors in the interior and contrasting cornices. The designers visually balanced the proportions of the room by placing the bed across and thus visually "Cutting" space.

Determining the style

Nowadays, youth fashion in interior design dictates to choose ethnic style, which implies not only the use of unusual African or Mexican elements, but also the recreation of the everyday environment of individual nationalities. Popular now scandinavian interior performed just in accordance with the ethnic style. Do not give up their positions and antique and classic interiors. They are used mainly when developing ideas for a female bedroom, since the pretentiousness and abundance of details are more to the liking of the beautiful half of humanity.
Bedroom interior, made in colonial style, also very fashionable. The room looks like a typical "habitat" of a traveler: maps, chests, various wall masks - these are the decorations inherent in this style. The colonial style is well suited for furnishing a nursery, since it involves the use of many small details of the furnishings. The modern style has many sub-styles, but it makes sense to focus on the two most popular ones: Loft and High tech. First, it should be noted that the style Loft fundamentally different from High tech. In the first case, the search for beauty in the routine of industrial everyday life is promoted, in the second case, the creation of such beauty using modern technologies.
Both of these styles are equally applied in the design of men's bedrooms, since they are minimalism and a certain brutality. Sometimes these styles are also used for women's bedrooms, but this is rather an exception. The mixed style in the interior is used most often, since it is allowed to combine any elements "Clean" stylistics, For example, it is not uncommon to find an ethnic Scandinavian interior with an admixture of style Loft … Also, often in any of the modern styles, elements of the antique or classic are added. The choice of the style of the future bedroom depends only on the individual preferences of the owner. Any style is good in its own way, but each person is different, and what is beautiful for one will seem disgusting to another.
We select furniture
After the decision on the style of the future bedroom has been made, the question of buying furniture arises. The most important thing in a bedroom is the bed. The bed can be single or double, rectangular or round, corner or classic and even round corner. Choose the option that best suits your style. For an antique-style bedroom, a large double bed with a high soft headboard made of leather or velor is suitable.
Traditional antique beds have a curved headboard, but you can also find models with a flat version. A distinctive feature is the presence of carved details and gilded decoration.

Beds in a classic style are also distinguished by the presence of finishes, but more modest. Choose a bed with muted browns. The colonial style is characterized by bulky wooden beds in rich colors, often complemented by columns. There is no need to talk about a specific type of bed in an ethnic interior, since it all depends on which country you have chosen as a sample. Samples of African, Indian or Scandinavian cultures vary greatly. For a modern style, a wrought iron bed or a minimalistic soft model is suitable.
Bedside pouf - not so rare. There is a huge selection of different variations of poufs for every taste and color, so choosing the right one is not difficult. Don't forget to ask yourself if there is room for a closet in the bedroom. If the apartment has a separate dressing room, fine, but if you need "Enter" wardrobe in the interior, certain difficulties may arise. For example, it is impossible to choose a wardrobe for an antique interior; you will have to be content with classic carved linen wardrobes or dressers. If you are designing a bedroom in a modern style, take a closer look at the option of a built-in wardrobe. Some models have mirrored doors, which will save space in the room, as well as money to buy a freestanding mirror.
If there is not enough space to install a cabinet, consider buying a chest of drawers. It takes up much less space, and in terms of functionality it is inferior to a full-fledged wardrobe only a few. The chest of drawers can be chosen in any size. There are a huge number of different design options for this piece of furniture on the market for every taste, so there will be no problems with the choice. The main thing is to remember that each piece of furniture should be bought in accordance with the concept of the style in which you plan to equip the bedroom.
Bedside tables - a necessary piece of furniture for bedrooms with insufficient lighting. A suitable lamp can be placed on such a pedestal, and the problem with a lack of light will be solved. In addition, it is very convenient to store all kinds of sleeping accessories, books and so on in the nightstand.
Buying a bedside table is a great investment.
When planning a women's bedroom, do not forget about buying a dressing table. You can choose the option with or without a built-in mirror, as well as a table with additional lighting for more convenience during the application of makeup. Together with the table, a banquet is usually purchased, which is a small ottoman for a dressing table. Best of all, when the bench and the bedside pouf have a similar design, then the interior of the room as a whole looks more harmonious.
If you stopped buying a cabinet without a built-in mirror or for some reason refused to buy it at all, purchase a mirror separately. There are floor-standing, wall-mounted and wall-mounted options. The hanging mirror is usually small and hangs at the level of your face. In it, you will not be able to see your reflection in full.
Wall mirror - a full-length mirror attached to the wall. Roughly speaking, it is the equivalent of a mirrored cabinet door; due to the fact that it is flush with the wall, a lot of space is not required to install such a piece of furniture. Floor mirrors are purchased as a separate piece of furniture. They are usually quite large and bulky. The frames of such a mirror are strikingly different, so they can be matched to any style. Floor mirrors are quite expensive, be prepared to shell out a decent amount for it. Consider buying decorative items such as vases, plants, figurines and figurines, chests, watches, photo frames, candles, boxes … A screen will become an interesting element, of course, if it fits into your future interior. Carefully approach the choice of decor items, since it is from the little things that the general view of your future sleeping space is formed.
Buying textiles to frame your bed is also important. Pay attention that blankets, bedspreads, decorative pillows are combined and echoed with the general interior of the room. Keep in mind that it is a good idea to make one of these decorative elements the center of the composition. Add color or pattern to create a strong contrast to the rest of the bedroom. As a result, you will get an interesting effect. The advantage of this approach is that you can change textiles from time to time, freshening up the room and changing the color center, and this will cost you a relatively small amount of money.
Decide in advance whether your future interior will include a carpet. It adds coziness to any room, moreover, the carpet will not allow your feet to freeze when you crawl out from under the covers in the morning. You can choose a rug for every taste: oriental, modern, made under the skin or fluffy shaggy.
Buying curtains Is one of the final elements in interior design. Many even hire a special curtain designer to help them find the perfect one. You can decide on your own which curtains will best fit into the interior of your room. You can buy ready-made curtains, or you can order. In any case, you should not be too frivolous about purchasing them, since improperly selected curtains can ruin the whole impression of the room.
Pay attention to the material, it must be dense enough so that the curtains do not let light through, otherwise there is a high risk of insomnia due to the light hitting your eyes at night. Separately take care of purchasing special boxes for storing small items. It can be small stylish baskets, boxes, covers - whatever. It's important to keep this point in mind, as the ability to stack the contents of the shelves is an important part of creating the character of the bedroom. Also, the presence of such a storage system will allow you to reduce the time for cleaning the premises, which, of course, is an absolute plus.
What should be the doors?
When it comes to furnishing a bedroom, every detail is important. So, a very important point is how the sleeping space is separated from the rest of the apartment. The comfort and quality of sleep directly depends on this. Modern manufacturers present a huge selection of doors for every taste and for any interior. There are many types of doors, even a special classification has been established. This article will discuss only the most important features for choosing a bedroom door.
Depending on the material, the doors for the bedroom are:
- Wooden … They are by far the best choice. There are many different options for every taste and wallet. With the help of such a door, you can make the interior more conservative or add modernity to it. Wooden doors have good soundproofing properties, which makes them an excellent option for the bedroom.
- Glass … Such doors visually help expand the space, making it brighter and more comfortable. There is an opportunity to create any pattern on the glass door. However, for a bedroom, such doors are not the best option, since they are distinguished by high sound permeability.
- Veneered … A cheap analogue of a wooden door, but not as high quality.
- Laminated. Also an analogue of wooden doors. There is a huge variety of all kinds of colors, so if you have a limited budget, buying such a door can be a good option.
- Laminated. A cheap alternative to a laminated door. The coating is of poor quality and wears out very quickly, so the door will soon have to be replaced.
- Mesonite … Doors made of pressed wood are durable and strong. Such doors are covered with both laminate and valuable wood veneer.
- Plastic. An excellent choice for modern interiors. Plastic doors are very light; if you wish, you can choose absolutely any color and design.
- Combined … Combined doors are manufactured using two or more materials at the same time, such as wood and glass.
According to the method of opening, the doors for the bedroom are divided into:
- Swing. They can only open in one or both directions. Today, this type of door is the most common.
- Sliding, or compartment. This option is very convenient if it is not possible to provide a place for opening the door, but there is space on the sides. These doors are commonly used for zoning a space.
- Folding … Accordion doors are also popular as they eliminate the need for opening space. Nevertheless, very often such doors fail quickly, so when buying, you need to very carefully evaluate their quality.
Divide single-leaf, double-leaf and one-and-a-half-leaf doors, when one leaf is larger than the other. Doors can be glazed and deaf. Depending on the surface finish, the doors are divided into models with a transparent finish and an opaque finish. Thus, first decide on the material and color of the door. It is important to know in advance how you want to see the entrance to your holy of holies. After that, decide which of the opening methods is suitable for your renovation, what size your door should be. Having answered these questions, you can easily find the most suitable option for yourself.
Finishing issues
When decorating a room, think about three main components: ceiling, walls, and floors. The most relevant at the present time are stretch ceilings. There is a huge variety of all kinds of colors and textures on the market. You can create both single-level and multi-level structures, add spotlights, and so on. For small rooms, the best choice would be a glossy light ceiling, which will help add light and also visually expand the space. With low ceilings, preference should also be given to a light finish. With its help, the room will seem more spacious and taller. In addition, a dark ceiling on a subconscious level creates an unsettling feeling, so it is highly discouraged to use it in a bedroom.
When choosing wall finishes, decide what material you will use. Today, both painted walls and walls covered with wallpaper are popular. The walls must be perfectly aligned before painting, only in this case the paint will lie flat and will look advantageous. Wallpapers are less whimsical in this matter. A huge variety of types, textures and materials opens up almost unlimited scope for creativity. Also an interesting solution would be to use photo wallpapers and frescoes.
When choosing a material for flooring, be guided by an already thought-out interior. So, the carpet will definitely not fit into the design in the Loft style, just as it will not look good against the background of the ethnic interior. As opposed to warm floors versus cold ones, think about the overall climate of your bedroom. Sometimes the presence of a warm floor can be the reason for the growth of mold on the walls. Be sure to check with a professional. Installing a warm floor is an excellent solution for children's bedrooms. In this case, you will not need to buy a carpet, which can become a breeding ground for all kinds of bacteria that are harmful to the child's respiratory system.
Color solutions
To be able to maximize relaxation in your sleeping space, you need to choose the right color scheme. First of all, the palette of your future bedroom depends on personal preference. Someone likes rooms in peach tones, someone prefers a bright interior, and for someone a cream bedroom is the height of dreams. Decide which colors appeal to you the most, and when choosing, start from them. A calm pastel palette of colors designed to help you relax is certainly the ideal solution for your bedroom. Warm colors will create an atmosphere of coziness and serenity, while cold ones, on the contrary, can make you feel uncomfortable.
Do not be afraid of bright colors in the interior. They will help liven up the room. It is better to use textile decorations as spectacular accents so that they can be removed immediately before bed and have a good night's sleep. Be careful when placing bright accents. Be sure to pay attention to the texture and material of the highlighted item. It is better if the bright spot turns out to be something soft and cozy, rather than glossy and smooth. The use of dark tones in the bedroom is only encouraged if it is light and large enough, otherwise you risk turning your sleeping space into an eerie closet.
One interesting tip can be given based on which side your bedroom windows face. If they are facing north or west, discard such interior colors as gray, burgundy and green-yellow; if the windows face south or east, it is better to refrain from using brown, pink and blue. In the sunlight, these shades look quite unpleasant, and you will subconsciously avoid being in your own bedroom. The result of this can be chronic lack of sleep, depression, insomnia, and a general deterioration in well-being. If the wrong choice of colors has already been made, we advise you to additionally highlight the unsuccessful areas, trying to interrupt the natural light. The use of spectacular details designed to distract from the unpleasant contemplation of "colored bloopers" will also help.
Patterns and ornaments work best on items that are easy to get rid of. A blanket, pillow, or small rug are great examples of these. As soon as you get tired of the pattern, you can replace it without any problems.
Psychologists say that a specially selected color palette affects the general well-being of a person. In particular, they advise using the following colors in the design:
- White. It will give a feeling of lightness, and will also serve as an excellent backdrop for using other colors.
- Yellow has a wonderful effect on mental well-being. Yellow is the color of the sun, so it comes as no surprise that it gives a feeling of joy, warmth and helps maintain optimism throughout the day.
- Pale orange or peach will help you relax after a hard day and relieve nervous tension.
- Blue shades in the interior they will help you feel calmer and more comfortable in such a room, but you should not make a bedroom completely in blue. Too much blue around leads to apathy and depression.
- Purple in combination with pale pink will help stimulate brain activity.
- Brown - one of the most popular colors for bedroom decoration. The whole range of brown shades from sandy to dark brown have a great effect on the psyche, contributing to good rest and sound sleep.
- Green color helps to relax, after sleeping in a green room, a person feels as relaxed and vigorous as possible.
How to decorate?
Several techniques can help make your bedroom even cozier. When creating an antique or classic interior, consider using an element such as molding. Moldings are stylized ready-made wall decorations, usually white, that can be painted and decorated later. Such materials are inexpensive and you can easily decorate the whole room in this way, giving it the desired look. Another interesting interior idea is arches. They can serve not only as an entrance or exit, but also be used for zoning a room, for example, with a combined bedroom and living room, arches are used to separate one functional area from another.
