Your bedroom is the place where you spend six to eight hours a day, so it’s only logical to create a space that meets your goals and desires. Of course, a bedroom has functional requirements — you need a bed, a closet or dresser to stow your clothes, and likely a nightstand to hold a lamp and a good book. However, choosing furniture is only half the battle. You also want to create a space that meets your aesthetic needs. From choosing a color scheme to selecting the ideal bedding and accessories, here are some of the Latest Bedding’s top tips on creating a beautiful bedroom.
Use the 60-30-10 Rule
Choosing colors for your bedroom can be complex. Too few shades and the room may appear boring or monochromatic. Too many, and your design scheme may seem chaotic or ill-considered. To create an appealing, balanced bedroom, we suggest following the 60-30-10 rule. With this design technique, you use a neutral color for 60 percent of the room. Choose a supporting shade for 30 percent and devote the remaining 10 percent of the space to an accent color. Wondering how this style protocol works in practice? If your primary color is dark blue, you could use brown as your supporting shade and white as an accent. Prefer a more neutral look in your master bedroom? Use white as your primary shade with gray as the secondary color and red or turquoise as the accent.
Set the Tone With Your Bedding
The color of your bedding can impact your mood throughout the day. If you’re redecorating your room, take some time to consider the tone you want to create with your style. For example, those seeking a master bedroom that conveys cool tranquility might opt for white bedding. A soft, puffy white comforter like the one in our MacKay White 4-Piece Comforter Set provides a calming visual effect and makes you feel like you’re sleeping on a cloud. Prefer a minimalistic look with some color? Dark, saturated shades like blues, purples, and greens offer a soothing appeal. Consider our Vaughn Navy/Gold 4-Piece Reversible Comforter Set by Waterford. The sapphire and gold shades add richness and interest to bedrooms of all sizes. Finally, some people prefer a more feminine bedding style. If you want an airier, energizing look, consider a fresh flowery print like the one in our Floral Park Blush 4-Piece Comforter Set. Along with matching pillows, the set includes a solid blush-colored velvet bed skirt.
Select Accessories
Even the most beautifully conceived bedroom isn’t complete without some carefully chosen accessories. Finish off your space with window treatments, a bed skirt, and accent pillows that provide fun and whimsy. One of the easiest ways to make your bedroom come alive is to add throw pillows in different sizes, textures, and patterns. A good rule of thumb is to include one simple print, one busy print, and one solid print pillow within your chosen color palette. You can also opt for a which typically comes complete with two coordinating pillow shams and a bed skirt.
