The bedroom is one of the most private and personal spaces. It’s where we sleep, dream, and feel safe enough to fully express ourselves. It’s also the room we need to pay the most attention to when designing the space. In these pages, we get down to the art of sleeping in the best place possible with experts in interior design, lighting, soundproofing, and window treatments.
DESIGNING THE LAYOUT
It’s important to design the room in a way that’s both practical and pleasing to the eye. Make sure there’s a mix of different heights, and avoid overly heavy furniture. Slim legs on the bed frame and table are ideal for a compact space or ask your designer to build you floating furniture for a clean, minimalist look.
good to know
A low-hanging pendant light or ceiling beams will add drama if most of your furniture has a low profile. Such fixtures emphasise the height of the room by drawing the eye upwards.
PICKING A COLOUR
A bedroom should inspire calm and rest, so avoid bright colours. Pastels like blushes or creams can create a cosier ambience, while deeper hues create a cocoon-like environment. Make sure the furniture and fixtures work in harmony with the wall colour to create a cohesive look.
