Hooker Furniture Bedroom Skyline Nightstand
If the bedroom is supposed to be your sanctuary, then why does it have to come last when it comes to your design considerations? You would be surprised that just a few tweaks could actually make this room more relaxing.
It is crucial to know what elements you need to bring in so that you increase the restful aura in the bedroom. Apart from the bed which is going to be your focal point, you have to know what will make this anchor a more memorable sight to behold.
The Bedside Table: The Necessary Sidekick
First, the bedside table – you must begin with the right height that would serve as a buddy for your bed. This height should be at the same level or height as the top of your mattress. This should offer an even visual line across your bed. This will make it easier to reach for that page-turner at night.
The bottom of the lampshade should be at your shoulder height when you’re lying down so that it will be able to illuminate the book that you’re reading.
There are some people who prefer their bedside tables to be a tad higher. Find a table that’s higher than the mattress when you’re in bed. You can either have the usual table lamps on the nightstands or have some hanging lamps illuminate from above. Just make sure that they don’t create shadows as you do your reading.
Should the traditional bedside table be too large for your bedroom, then you can make use of pedestals or plant stands to fill in that awkward nook.
Keep ‘Em Out of Sight
If you are having trouble finding stuff in the bedroom then why don’t you utilize that nook right next to the bed? Apart from the bedside table, you can also have some open shelves as storage units in that room.
Find a slim shelf if you don’t have the luxury of space and a bigger one if you have ample square footage to boost.
Let It Bloom
Whether you are planning to use a bunch of flowers or just a single-stemmed rose in a slim glass vase, it really doesn’t matter. What truly matters is that you have added a lovely organic touch to this room for rest not to mention an interesting burst of color in a usually dim space.
If flowers aren’t artistic enough for you, then use a pot of succulent or a small work of art.
Play with Shapes, Patterns, Colors and Sizes
You have to be able to create a unique yet balanced display of accessories such as vases, perfume bottles and some trinkets. These come in different shapes and sizes so you have to group them according to their color or shape.
Work in groupings of three if you want to play safe. A stack of books is the perfect group of objects to use if a little height is needed.
It also pays to overlaps some of the items. Don’t think that a lamp partially covering an interesting painting would ruin the view. Sometimes, these seemingly imperfect placements are what would give character to your design.
As to color, make sure that you create a cohesive look using your preferred hues. Find a base color, though, that would serve as the anchor for the rest of the design. The bedding and furniture must coordinate with the rest of the décor.
The Maitland-Smith Lamps and Lighting Tabletop Torchiere 1758-271 is a charming way to accentuate your nightstand.
Personalize It
Include items on your design that have special meaning to you and your family. This can be a framed photograph, a travel memento, or a piece of interesting art. Add some lighted candles and scents to make the room define you.
