Her Haus: Creating A Pin-worthy Bedroom

The bedroom is the most personal and intimate space in the house, a place where you can truly relax and catch up with much-needed beauty sleep. The design of this room should allow you to create the most calming and tranquil atmosphere possible. 

Decide on Your Focal Point. Most people use the bed as their focal point, but others choose to opt for a large dressing table or dramatic window with curtains in rich colors. Whatever you decide, make sure there is only one focal point. Too many will make your bedroom seem crowded, particularly if it is already on the smaller side. 

Once you have made a decision, it will then be easier to dress other features of the room, as you will be following a single theme. For those looking for continental opulence, look for a company that offers elegant furnishings at affordable prices, like the French Bedroom Company.

Add Warmth. A bedroom should be warm and inviting, so many choose to avoid marble, granite or tile for flooring in this particular room. Instead opt for wood or carpet and do not hesitate to add tactile rugs that will keep your bare feet cozy on cold mornings. 

You should be able to adjust the light levels in your bedroom easily, so make sure you have sockets for lamps either side of your bed and the overhead light is fitted with a dimmer switch. You can also add warmth with thick curtains, so choose a design that compliments the style of your room.  

Keep Calm. Avoid dark colors and busy patterns for bedroom walls; you need to be able to sleep easy in this room. It is also a good idea to keep electronics hidden and turned off when you are asleep. Using a laptop or cellphone prior bed can actually hinder your ability to get a good night’s rest. 

Put these items away and allow your room to be a technology-free haven. Scented candles and mild incense can help you achieve the restful atmosphere that a bedroom requires, as can a collection of luxe pieces like cashmere blankets and designer throw pillows. 

Never underestimate the importance of the senses when decorating a bedroom. If the space is pleasing to the eyes and ears, smells wonderful and is soft and interesting to touch, you have achieved a pin-worthy bedroom.
