Is your bedroom missing something?

Is your bedroom missing something?

When it comes to great interior design, it’s not just about relying on one standout feature. It’s also about how everything works together to create a space that feels both beautiful and functional. If your bedroom is lacking that special something, it could be missing a few key elements that interior designers consider essential. With our expert tips on bedroom interior design, you'll have a perfectly crafted, cosy space in no time.

Zoning pieces

When you think of your bedroom, if you picture it as one big space, then it's time to rethink that approach. Zoning is a clever design technique that uses furniture and layout to subtly divide a room into different areas, each with its own purpose and personality. Using furnishings to subtly split it into zones will help elevate the overall design of the bedroom while expanding the space's potential.

·        You could make your bed the undeniable focal point of the room by choosing a statement headboard, drawing attention and setting the tone for the space.

·        An area rug is a simple yet effective way to create a cosy zone. Place it in a seating area or near your favourite reading chair to establish a comfortable space that invites relaxation.

·        Thoughtful arrangement of bedroom accessories is key. Consider placing a standing lamp behind a reading chair to create a soft, inviting corner for your evening reads.

·        A splash of colour can work wonders in emphasising zones. Colour blocking with subtle hues can create visual separations without overwhelming the room.

Soft textiles

Your bedroom's interior design should create a sanctuary; a warm, welcoming retreat from the world. One of the best ways to achieve this is by layering soft textiles. Think throws, pillows, rugs, curtains and upholstery.

Curtains don't just shut out lights and offer privacy; they're an important element in the overall look and feel of the room. Soft, flowing fabrics like linen or cotton create a relaxed, airy feel, while heavier fabrics like velvet or blackout curtains add drama and warmth.

Don't be afraid to mix and match fabrics and patterns. Layering different textures, such as soft linen bedspread with a rich velvet cushion or a striped rug with floral pillows, can add sense of depth and stimulate visual interest.

Wall décor 

Don’t leave your walls hanging! Your bedroom walls are a blank canvas just waiting to be transformed.

Artwork is an essential part of creating a room that feels both stylish and personal. A well-placed piece of art can act as a focal point and elevate the entire room.

Mirrors enhance natural light and pair beautifully with artwork, making them a subtle yet powerful design element. Not only do they help to reflect light and make the space feel bigger, but they also work beautifully with artwork. Consider placing a mirror across from a statement art piece to reflect it.

While mirrors are a fantastic addition to any room, placement is key. Avoid positioning mirrors opposite areas that might feel cluttered or chaotic, as this can create a sense of unease or imbalance.

Clever storage

Speaking of clutter... one of the key luxury bedroom design ideas is the ability to keep things tidy without sacrificing style. Rooms that feel effortlessly chic often have very few (if any) personal objects on display. The key? Clever storage. It's not about keeping your things out of sight – it's about housing your belongings in a way that maintains the room's order and flow.

Maximising storage doesn't have to mean compromising on style. Consider adding an overbed wardrobe, a brilliant solution for keeping essentials close while maintaining a streamlined look. Another clever storage solution is hollow bench seating. It offers a place to unwind while discreetly hiding extra items.

Accent lighting

Lighting is one of the most powerful tools in creating a luxe, inviting atmosphere in the design of your bedroom. 

Surround mirrors with soft, subtle lighting to enhance their reflective quality. Wall-mounted lights or even backlit mirrors can add a luxurious glow, helping the room feel brighter and more expansive, while providing the perfect ambience for getting ready to go out or unwinding.

The finishing touch? Adjustable lighting that suits your mood and activities. Dimmable lamps beside your bed allow you to control the brightness for different moods.
