Do You Want Your Bedroom To Be Used For More Than Sleeping In
If your bedroom is in need of a change to make it that relaxing, romantic room you dream of then looking at John Lewis bedroom furniture is a good place to start.
A bedroom has always fundamentally been considered a place to sleep. Only in recent times has it also been seen as a place to relax or a quiet space to do some reading or even make an uninterrupted phone call. With the functionality of bedrooms changing, homeowners now look to adding alternative furniture and décor to suit their needs. If you need ideas then look no further than French bedrooms. The French have always been the leaders in romantic and sensual décor and this is particularly the case in their bedroom designs.
When trying to give a room that sensual feel a good place to start is with colour. Shades of cream, red and pink are key to this kind of décor and will give that soft, warm glow synonymous with a setting of romance and comfort. Along with colours, think of mirrors and candles. Mirrors will reflect the warming tones of your room and with the help of a few candles please nearby, your room will be awash with warm and comforting colour tones. For those who wish to use the room for quiet reading, try adding a chair into the room or cushions on the bed allowing you to sit in a more comfortable, upright reading position.
Lighting is another important consideration when looking at the décor of your bedroom. For a relaxing ambiance you want to avoid any bright lights. Similarly, if you like to use your bedroom as a place to read you don’t want dim lights which will cause you to strain your eyes…this won’t be the relaxing experience you are looking for. Therefore, plenty of soft strategically placed lighting is the best way forward. If you have a designated reading area or dressing table, lighting should be placed here and possible beside the bed. Shade such as ivory and amber will create a soft, sensual effect without being too bright or too dark.
Adding some family photographs to the walls or surfaces is a good way to decorate your room. Many believe waking up to a favourite family photograph is the best way to motivate yourself at the start of a day. Family photographs can bring about feelings of love and warmth which is the perfect setting for any bedroom.
Many designs are now are based around hotel-like themes. If space is available a small writing desk can be added or a music and television area. Many believe that watching a television in your bedroom is bad for you, that your mind will be too active to sleep after watching a film or news programme. However, is that is your way of relaxing then why not? Continuing with the hotel ideas, some bedroom designers now include a small fridge cabinet accompanied by tea and coffee making facilities. Whether you are staying in a hotel on holiday or whilst on business, your hotel room is seen as your space, your haven whilst away. This theme is simply being transferred into people’s homes and into their bedrooms.
