Bedroom

Your bedroom is your haven. It is the first place we head to after a long day at work and try to relax. Imagine walking into an unappealing and messy room after a bad day at work.

Hence, it only makes sense that we spend a lot of time on our room’s right décor and aesthetics. Choosing the right colors, furniture, and decoration pieces are very important. However, it is not as tedious as it seems. It can be fun and exciting if you know what you exactly want.

Here is how to get started with furnishing your room.

Whose room is it?

It is essential to determine whose room it’s going to be before you start furnishing it. The décor and furniture of the bedroom will differ from the ones occupying it. For example, if the room belongs to a teen, it will have a different setting, and if it is for a couple, it will be different. A space for shared siblings can have cute, funky beds, while a couple’s bedroom will have a double bed. Similarly, a couple’s room may have muted colors and ambient lighting, while a kid’s room can have loud, bright colors. So, first, decide who the room is for as it will influence your choices for the color theme, designs, and furniture.

Do you already have something in mind?

Have you always had some style in your mind for your dream bedroom? Have you always wished you had specific furniture or color for your home? Well, now is the time to bring your dreams to life. Make a rough sketch in your head of how these things will look in your home and see if all that you want will look coordinated and go together. You can easily decide this by narrowing down your choices by placing them in compartments like modern and contemporary. Make sure your room either has a stylish look or a modern look. Do not let creativity and a desire for a unique new look for a new bedroom give it a messy and uncoordinated look. If you already have a furnished room and are furnishing it, try something completely different.

Another thing to consider here is the size of your room. It may be that you have a lot of exciting ideas for your room, but the size of your room may not allow it. So, always keep in mind the proper dimensions of your room. It will also ensure that your room does not look all cluttered up with many things or looks too dull with only a few things.

Budget

Always keep your budget in consideration while decorating your room or refurbishing it. Set a budget that you can spend on your space, and then align your budget with your choices. There are two ways to do this: you can do this by evaluating the cost of one factor, for example, the maximum you can spend on furniture or paint or decoration pieces, or you could look at what the market is offering. You can then see if the cost matches the quality and the worth of the product. It is better to go with the latter option as you may lose cheaper quality furniture in a smaller duration than solid and sturdy furniture, which may cost you a little more.

Available things

Once you have calculated a budget roughly, you will have some clarity regarding what you can afford. It is possible that you may not be able to afford all the things you want for your bedroom. You may also keep some old furniture, which you think can work well after some polish. You can also paint it with a new color to go with the new look you have decided for your bedroom. You can then save up some money and replace the old stuff with the new one when your finances allow you.

Furniture

Furniture is one of the essential components. Here are a few things that you may want to consider for your bedroom. Depending on whose room it is, you can add and omit things to make it work for you.

Bed

The bed is the main thing you need for your room. Your bed is the place you come home to relax on, so it should be comfortable and sturdy as well. There are various bed sizes available in the market, i.e., king size, queen size, bunk bed, etc., so consider what will go with the space open. You can choose a fancy headrest or no headrest at all and instead put calligraphy. You will also have to decide the kind of side tables that would go with your bed.

Dressing table

The dressing table is another component, which is essential for many people. Waking up every day to a dressing table with all the essentials to keep you fresh the whole day and help you get dressed for work is a fantastic feeling. You can either buy a one with space, or you can put up a long mirror and keep your make-up and stuff in your cupboard.  

Armchairs and couches

 You can’t always sit on the bed. So, it would help if you had an armchair, maybe with a coffee table to enjoy your evening coffee and tea. You can set it in front of your window for some sunlight and air or put it in line with your television so that you can enjoy your favorite shows and movies.

Lamps and lighting

These play a significant role in creating an ambiance for your room. You can choose to have chilly lighting or warm lighting for your space. You can also choose to have intelligent lights that allow you to change the ambiance based on your mood.
