From being a cosy retreat to a romantic getaway, a personal style of living to being a place for the entire family to sit together, bedrooms mean different things to different people. For me personally, the space means a retreat into comfort and watching tiny squirrels running across my bedroom window. Also sometimes it means space for relaxing before readying for a ladies club gathering.
An intelligentally organised bedroom with cozy bed and wardrobe can help us live life efficiently and effortlessly. Whether it is getting ready for office or for a party, our bedroom can help in effortless living. As at times finding matching tie or a shirt or matching scarf or a sandle, can be even more exhusting than attending the party.
Listed are a few tips for bedroom styles to help you enhance living in a much more organised manner…
1. A bedroom reflects your identity. Traditional or modern, chic or casual, choose your look and categorise your needs thoughtfully. Choose on styles and colours to match it to suit your daily living.
2. The bed is one of the most important pieces of furniture in the bedroom as you are going to rest on it for nearly 8-10 hours after a tiring day. It must provide the right kind of support to your body as you sleep or relax on it to read a book.
3. A well designed sliding door wardrobe is both essential and a great fashion statement, as it allows you to organise daily stuff, including precious items of jewelry. Sliding doors help in saving open space and provides for effortless and stylish space for the wardrobe.
4. Choose different shelf sizes with varied height and width to suit your clothing, accessories, jewellery and gifts.
5. Go for sliding baskets inside the wardrobe that are great for organizing towels and other large and thick items. Similarly use open or closed drawers to organize shirts, trousers, ties, cosmetics or even saris and blouses.
6. Creating wardrobes that are wall to wall, including up to the ceiling, are important for using space. This covers the area neatly and gives enough space to organise large suitcases and rarely used stuff. Often in city apartments, every inch matters, and good organizing of space goes a long way.
7. Increase in storage is in fashion, more so for the need of increased space to stack winter clothing. Other than slide-in baskets, you can even opt for built in shelves or you can also add creative storage space with easily stackable shelves/cupboards that are closed. You can add a few open shelves too for display too.
8. A full length mirror adds value to the wardrobe or closet as it provides full view while dressing up.
9. Display your hobbies through the tools you use in a corner of the room. If you paint, you may consider adding your easel and a rack for equipment. Music buffs can display their music collection and players too.
10. Windows open out a bedroom’s view to the world. If you have a nice view from the bedroom you can utilize it by adding sheer curtains. However, if you would rather block out strong sunlight and not-so-pleasing views, heavy drapes can help.
Last but not the least, colour is an important element for any room. Consider painting the walls in calming tones. You can have a contrasting wall or install wallpaper for a fresh look. Match your furniture to complement the room’s colour and decorate the walls with artwork done in pleasing complementary or, even seductive styles.
