Big or Small: Fall in Love with Your Cozy Bedroom

Bedroom is the place where we relax and sleep. Beside this, in a bedroom, some of us dress up,  get ready to out, watch TV, do some quite reading, listen to music, have some chat with family members and so on. However, a bed room should always hold a cozy relaxing  environment. To maintain this environment, we need to focus on the following facts:   
  • Wall colour:  Any shades can be chosen for big bedrooms. However, while selecting paint, we have to keep in mind that light colour always make thinks look open, big and wide. Although, taste varies from person to person, for a small bedroom, avoiding dark wall paints will be an wise idea. Accent painting is very popular now a days and people do use different colours in a paint single room. In that case, for a small bedroom, a bright paint (not with a blackish tone) can be chosen for a single wall where the other walls are painted in a very light shade. 

 
  • Floor colour/material: As I already mentioned, in light colour, things appear bigger and wider. Choosing colour and material for floor totally depends on budget, convenience, availability, trend  etc. However, for small bedrooms, dark floor colour should be avoided.

  • Bedroom Furniture Type: For most of us, a bed is not the only furniture that we need in a bedroom. Most of us keep almost all of our personal belongings such as: clothing, accessories, jeweleries, cosmetics, etc in our bedroom. So,  depending on our need, beside having a bed we usually go for some storage for bedroom like dresser, chest, armoire and/or night table. Additionally, entertainment unit, sofa/chair, tea table, etc can be part of bedroom furniture too. However, for a small bedroom, we need to select only the furniture that we need most.      


  • Style of Bedroom Furniture: Slim designs are usually preferable for a small bedroom.


  • Colour of Bedroom Furniture:  While choosing colour for furniture, we need two keep two points in our mind.
    •  First of all, furniture colour should be selected based on the wall colour of bedroom. For example, dark furniture will look good in a more neutral color bedroom. 
    • Secondly, within a room, colour for different furniture should be consistent. If possible, try to stick with a single colour.

  • Placement of Bedroom Furniture: In a big bedroom, bed can be placed at the edge or at the middle of the room without blocking the entrance and other doors. Other furniture are arranged in such manner that those can be used conveniently leaving enough free space at the middle of the room. However, in a small bedroom, a bed if placed in the middle or close to entrance will make the room very congested. So, it is preferable to place the bed at the edge of the room and  next to a wall.


  • Curtain/Blinds/Shades: For small bedrooms, we will not go for curtain, blinds or shades which are lighter in color. Sheer curtains will let natural light to come in during day tie and will make the room look great. However, some bright color like orange, yellow, light green can be picked as well.


  • Bedding Sets : A room looks really great, if we choose bedroom textiles (bed sheet, comforter, douvet  cover, quilts etc) with matching colour. However, If one is with too bright/dark print/pattern, the other should be plain in colour. However, for a small bedroom, if curtains and bed both are placed next to each other then light colour should be chosen for curtains. 

  • Bedroom decor: Light fixtures, green plants(natural or  artificial), wall decorations (i.e. wall stickers/wall decals, wall painting, metal wall art), photo frames, decorative pillows/cushions, rugs, decorative accessories etc are some elements that add elegance to our bedrooms. However, none of us want our bedroom to look like a museum. Also, too much decoration affect the relaxing environment of a bedroom. A little presence of any sort of decor is enough to make a bedroom  very cozy.
     
Now, last but most important thing. Facts like  choosing wall colour, floor material, room size etc are not in our hand when we stay in a rented house. Still it is possible to make our rooms very cozy by:
  •  properly placing the  furniture,
  • carefully choosing the colour combination from textiles and curtains that we already have and
  • keeping bedrooms clean and organized.
So, what to wait for? Let us fall in love with our cozy bedrooms.
