Looking to renovate your bedroom? Spend your nights in luxury with these bedroom upgrade tips.
Keep it Neutral
Colour is one of the most important elements in creating a luxurious and comforting tone within your bedroom. Neutral colours such as soft greys and charcoals help in creating a relaxed feel, with soft blues, beiges and creamy whites working in the same way.
Whatever colour scheme you choose, keep in mind that the palette applies not only to the walls and ceiling of the bedroom but also to the drapery as well as the room’s upholstery work.
Make sure to avoid bold colours such as strong primary colours, as these can be over-stimulating, and negatively impact the tranquillity of your room.
Mattress Heaven
Nothing says luxury like a large, king-sized mattress. Do not be afraid to invest in a high-quality king size mattress. It should be visually pleasing and deliver the best quality of sleep.
Beautiful Behead
A bedhead is vital in creating a polished bedroom look. An upholstered bedhead with soft, plain fabric, or subtle prints and textures, can create a beautiful warm feel. Alternatively, a wooden bedhead can be effective in creating an organic modern aesthetic.
Linen
One of life’s simple luxuries is the feeling of fresh sheets. Investing in top quality crisp sheets will not only look incredible but they will ensure comfort. Nothing quite beats the look and feel of white linen sheets. White sheets add freshness to the bedroom and are easy to swap and change your top layer across seasonal trends.
Quilts, Cushions and Pillows
Nothing makes a bed look more inviting than well-stuffed pillows. The trick to making your bed look extra luxurious is to have two on each side of the bed. To top off the bed’s décor you can layer two European-sized pillows and a thick, luxurious throw blanket over the foot of the bed.
Lighting
It is important your lights are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. There is nothing like natural light to make a room glisten and sparkle during the day, accompanied by dimmer controlled lighting at night. Achieve this and you are on your way to having the perfectly lit room.
Incorporating a ceiling fixture is important, as it will not only lift the extravagance of the room but will also attract attention upwards and open up your space.
To decorate the space and assist the ceiling fixture with ambience, be sure to include tasteful bedside lamps. Having a switchboard on either side of the bed as well as at the door to control the lights within the room is a simple, yet extremely convenient touch.
Dress the Windows
Your bedroom is not complete without the help of curtains. Make sure to have the curtains made to size, and consider getting an extra metre or two added to your curtains for a plush look when pulled to the side.
Not Just a Bed
If you have space, a comfortable armchair or sofa instantly makes the bedroom look more luxurious. Choosing an elegant piece of furniture not only lifts the aesthetic of the room but gives you a separate space other than your bed to sit and relax.
Be True to Yourself and Your Space
The best luxury bedrooms are an extension of the people who live in them. They are an expression of your style, your mood, your sleep. So make sure to include an impact piece into your room, something that screams ‘you’.
Whether it is an artwork over your bedhead or a sculptural antique on your dresser, make sure it is large enough that the eye is immediately drawn to it.
