Top 10 mistakes when decorating a bedroom

Organizing the bedroom space is not as easy as it might seem at first glance, therefore, when equipping the interior, many make mistakes that in the future affect not only the image of the room, but also your personal comfort.

Let’s take a look at the most common mistakes made when decorating a bedroom and find out how you can avoid them..

Chandelier too large

Unless you are the owner of a one-room apartment, and the bedroom in it also serves as a living room and a kitchen, installing a large lamp under the ceiling may be superfluous.

Intense flood light is most often not justified in the interior of the bedroom, moreover, it makes the room look like a hall for receiving guests, but not a lounge.

Right In the bedroom, the main one is not at all the overhead light, but additional, in the form of floor lamps, sconces and table lamps. It is these devices that should illuminate the room, but it is better to hang a neat lamp – suspension, or a ceiling-type chandelier on two or three medium-powerful lamps under the ceiling.

Library near the bed

The passion for reading will always distinguish you as an intelligent, culturally developed and well-read person. And your own library is a current trend at all times. And yet, it is not recommended to place a large number of prints in the bedroom, especially in the bedside area..

Due to the dust constantly deposited on books, a sleeping person may have difficulty breathing, develop allergic reactions.

Right  If possible, keep the number of books in the bedroom to a minimum, while placing them away from the bed, for example, on a shelf or shelves against the opposite wall.

Mirror along the bed

One of the obvious mistakes in the design of the bedroom is a mirror installed in the immediate vicinity of the bed. Your reflection, at first, will amuse and interest, but soon you will feel that it instills anxiety and prevents you from sleeping peacefully.

Such mirrors include those installed in wardrobes, the structures of which are placed parallel along the bed, or large floor-mounted ones installed opposite.

Right  The mirror in the interior of the bedroom should be positioned so that you, lying on the bed, could not see your reflection in it. For example, place a floor mirror against the wall at the foot of the bed, place two identical ones above the bedside tables, or use a mobile mirror in a frame with wheels that can be turned to any side.

Empty walls

Let the bedroom be a relaxation room, but making it a space intended purely for sleeping would be a mistake. Ascetic furnishings, unadorned walls, boring furniture and bed linen – all this does not improve the mood at all, but on the contrary, creates a gloomy mood.

Right  The walls in the bedroom are a blank sheet that you can turn into something original, beautiful and unique to your own taste. Even if you just paint one of the walls in a contrasting color, and decorate the other with several photos from the Internet, printed and inserted into frames, you can really transform the atmosphere of the room, as a whole.

Dark interior

You should not be deceived by the beauty of the thick dark tones of interior paint, because in the bedroom the rich color of the walls may not take root. It has long been known that dark blue, burgundy, blueberry, chocolate and black for the bedroom should not be used in large quantities, since such an environment will have a tangible effect and interfere with a cheerful awakening in the morning.

Right  If you like a rich range, try choosing derived shades a few tones lighter, for example, instead of black or graphite, choose gray-brown, gray-gray for the walls, and blue can be replaced with cornflower blue or azure.

Don’t forget to combine dark tones with lots of whites, creams, complementing with shimmery accessories and vibrant decor.

Solid construction above the headboard

When planning a system for storing things in the bedroom, it is important to properly distribute the load, including the visual one. For example, if you mount part of the wardrobe closets above the bed, the person under them will anxiously fall asleep or just lie.

Right  If the room does not have a better area for installing a storage system, you should nevertheless leave a free area above the head of the bed. It is better to install the main part of the cabinets on the sides of the bed, and one or two light shelves can be hung above it, but no more.

Incorrect bed position

The center of the composition in any bedroom is the bed, around which the rest of the furnishings are installed. But it happens that so little attention is paid to the sleeping place that they are not engaged in its correct organization at all, caring, first of all, about wardrobe, curtain textiles or wall decoration..

In particular, planning experts call the incorrect placement of the bed a mistake: at the entrance to the bedroom, headboard to the window, in the corner, etc..

Right  Regardless of the size and shape of the room in the plan, you can find the optimal area for the location of the bed, ideally a wall perpendicular to the window, or a partition between the windows.

Also, it is better to set the bed as far away from the doors as possible, so that lying on the bed, you feel comfortable, and sounds from the outside do not interfere with your full rest..

Cold floor

In pursuit of the beauty of the floor, we often neglect some of its characteristics, such as practicality and durability. In addition, for the bedroom, installation of a floor from tiles, cheap laminated boards, or from a self-leveling self-leveling mixture is contraindicated..

Unless such materials are completed by the system «warm floor», other types of coatings should be applied.

Right  The ideal option, practical, durable, aesthetic and warm, is, of course, a natural wood coating. But due to its high cost, not many can use it. Alternatively, it is recommended to lay a parquet board, cork or soft and warm carpet on the floor..

Monotonous design

Several years ago, the use of a single fabric for sewing curtains, bedspreads and upholstery of upholstered bedroom furniture came into vogue. Today, decoration through the same type of textures is considered bad manners, and the interior of the bedroom is tasteless and insipid..

Right  Do not be afraid to mix materials, shades and textures of fabrics, accessories. Just remember that the combination of natural materials in one interior looks most stylish and expensive: velvet and silk, wool and cotton, knitted and jacquard products. In addition, decorative items of the color of precious metals will add a peculiar charm to the design of the bedroom..

Lack of proper storage system

For small bedrooms, it can be easy to choose a good wardrobe that would not only contain your entire wardrobe, but also would not take up extra space, hiding the useful area of ​​the room.

But besides a poorly organized wardrobe area, there can only be its absence, which at the same time affects the cleanliness and functionality of the bedroom..

Right  A simple design, consisting of shelves with brackets, rods and drawers sliding on guides, will help organize the space of a small bedroom. We recommend, at the same time, focus on the sections for hangers, which will provide an excellent appearance of your clothes..

Good luck!
