Choosing a bedroom style
If the apartment is small, then you should listen to the professionals who advise decorating all the rooms in the same style. This helps not only to perceive the space as one whole, but also visually expands the room. It is important to choose a design that will make it easy to receive guests, relax and do housework.
If the area of the room is large, then the design can be anything. If the work environment is boring, business environment in a minimalist style, then in the bedroom you can use a youth theme, for example, order a large poster for the wall, or decorate the room with bright textiles.
How to choose a bed for the bedroom
The bed is the center of the bedroom and the arrangement of other interior items depends on its location. It is advisable to install the bed in such a way that you can approach it from both sides and when you wake up, your gaze immediately stops on something pleasant.
If we talk about size, then the parameters of the marital bed should be optimal so that the spouses do not interfere with each other during sleep. Many experts advise buying high beds - it is believed that sleeping on them is much more comfortable.
The best option would be to install a bed in a classic style with a beautiful carved or soft headboard - it looks original and very stylish. Classics are always relevant. The high headboard, upholstered in fabric, allows you to lean on it while reading without having to put a pillow under your back. In this case, you don’t need to think about decorating the wall above the bed; a beautifully decorated backrest will be enough.
The backs are low, then the surface above the bed can be decorated with posters, paintings or photographs, a decorative mirror in a beautiful frame or an unusual wall clock.
IMPORTANT! If you decide to decorate the wall above the bed with paintings and posters, then their color palette should echo the shades of the bedspread and bed linen.
Wall design options
It is advisable to place color accents in the bedroom. Professionals advise highlighting the wall opposite the bed or behind the headboard with color - it all depends on the layout of the room. You can use beautiful wallpaper with a large pattern in bright colors, or highlight the space with a panel with a 3D image. But a maximum of 2 walls are pasted over; on the remaining planes, plain canvases are used.
Even if you really like bright shades, you need to use them in the bedroom with caution - the atmosphere in the room should be conducive to relaxation, relaxation and rest, and not irritate the nervous system.
Deciding on lighting
To avoid discomfort in the bedroom, do not hang a large hanging chandelier above the bed. It is also worth considering the fact that if there is only overhead light in the rest room, complete comfort will not be achieved. For a romantic and intimate atmosphere, you need to hang several sconces on the walls, place beautiful floor lamps on both sides of the bed or night lights on the bedside tables.
ATTENTION! Designers advise installing a soaring suspended or suspended ceiling in the bedroom with gentle lighting from an LED strip and spotlights around the entire perimeter.
How to choose furniture
Bedside tables can be from any collection, not necessarily in the same style as the bed. The only requirement is that they must be the same height and preferably slightly higher than the bed. To create coziness, various decorative items are installed on the table, chest of drawers and bedside tables, for example:
- small pots with indoor plants;
- tall vases with dried flowers, decorated with shells and colored stones;
- aroma candles, figurines, beautiful photo frames;
- wicker boxes or baskets and so on.
ATTENTION! If the bedroom is large, then you can install massive furniture in dark shades, which will visually make the room smaller and more comfortable. In small rooms it is better to limit yourself to the minimum: a bed, bedside tables, a chest of drawers and a dressing table.
Bedroom textiles: bedspread, curtains, bed linen
If you want to achieve the most harmonious atmosphere in the bedroom, then it is advisable to select textiles in the same style as the overall interior. For example, if the bed in the room is classic with a high headboard, then bed linen with an abstract pattern will look out of place. It is better to purchase textiles with a floral print or a plain color that best matches the overall decor of the room.
Plaid and bedspread
When buying a bedspread for the bedroom, you need to keep in mind that it should be 20-25 cm larger than the sleeping place. For greater harmony of the interior, the bedspread is complemented with a textured, soft blanket, which is placed in the lower part of the bed in a rolled form.
Pillows
This is a great option for decorating a made bed. Small pillows can be an excellent addition to the interior, but they should be used in moderation.
You can use this arrangement - place 2 standard pillows in beautiful covers at the headboard, and lean 2 little pillows against them. It is appropriate to place another small pad in the middle of the bed.
If you are decorating a children's bedroom, you can use decorative pillows in the shape of soft toys - the child will really like it. Decorative pillows can be used to decorate chairs if they are installed at the foot of the bed.
Curtains
To create a harmonious interior, curtains and drapes should be selected in the same color as the bedspread and rug on the bed. This does not mean that all textiles should be made from the same material. The main thing to consider is that there should be no synthetic materials in the bedroom - only natural fabrics. They not only look good, but also do not have a harmful effect on human health.
Give preference to silk curtains, a cotton bedspread, a wool blanket and linen bed linen, which will be made in the same color scheme.
Bed sheets
When choosing sleeping accessories, you can experiment, choosing fabrics of different textures - this will help you decide on an individual stylistic solution for your sleeping place. Bed linen should be pleasant to the body, high quality and beautiful, remember, you will use it every day. You need to have several sets in your arsenal, since linen is changed at least once a week.

Before buying certain furniture for a narrow bedroom, you should draw a drawing and try to visually imagine the placement of interior elements. Storage space for bed linen is a must in any bedroom.
