Bedrooms are secret sanctuaries, our own private corner of the world where we relax and spend countless hours in. Your bedroom is an opportunity, to express your favourite colours, hobbies and tastes. With our national lockdowns fading into the past, it's unsurprising to feel fed up of the same four white walls. So, we thought it would be appropriate to create a comprehensive guide into decorating your bedroom.

Choose Colour Carefully

If you're starting from scratch and are looking to paint your bedroom, consider pastel and light colours that exert a calming and soothing atmosphere. A bedroom is a place to relax, so busy, bright colours distracts people from the furnishings and accessories, creating a loud, more aggressive ambiance. Also, different colours will also have different implications on Remember: lighter shades reflect light, whilst darker colours absorb the light.

Don't Forget the Fifth Wall

The most commonly looked part of any bedroom is the ceiling - an untapped canvas of potential, waiting to be utilised. One option would be to paint your ceiling a slightly lighter shade of the colour that you've chosen for your walls. This simple trick visually warps the height of the ceiling, creating a cosier, more homely ambiance.

Consider Clutter Control

Before decorating, focus your attention to your possessions - including clothes, trinkets, clutter and generally focusing on any areas that look overcrowded. A well decorated bedroom is one that considers placement - if you're struggling to fit everything, consider investing in storage boxes and rotate your clothes based on the seasons (just remember, we're in England!).

Also, a contributing factor to reducing clutter is ease of movement. It may even be worth readjusting furnishings to improve the flow and layout. All in all, the primary objective is to say goodbye to any unused, damaged or broken items to make space for the future, a stunning space of secrecy.

Indulge a Little

We often forget that it is ok to treat ourselves every once in a while, and for quality items, paying more is sometimes better than reserving the pennies. Whether you replace your entire bed or invest in high quality, luxurious linens and bed sheets, create a space that you take pride in. Even if you need to save, make meaningful purchases that considers your vision and taste.

A top tip would be to create a list based off the order of importance.- this way, you can buy guilt-free, with furnishings, fixtures and accessories that serve a purpose, whilst complimenting your room.

Lighting is Everything

When indulging a little, take a moment to think about how you can layer the lighting within your room. This means mixing a range of soft and white lights, to create an ambiance of tranquility. Furthermore, paying attention to the type of light will assist in different activities like reading, watching tv, gaming, etc. Lighting also means thinking about how you wish to dress your windows. Blinds and blackout curtains will help keep out the sunlight early in the morning, whilst sheer curtains transmit a warm layer of light into the room.
