Sometimes we can’t afford to go on holiday or we haven’t got the time, but there is nothing to stop us recreating that seaside villa feel in our bedroom. What a perfect way to relax and a joy to wake up to in the morning.
One of the first things you need to do to inspire you is to think about your dream destination, think of the colours, patterns and what type of wood would you find in this area. If you are thinking of the tropics then dark wooden furniture with bold colour will strike a balance. If a perfect getaway for you is a secluded cove with gentle waves lapping at the shore, then you should opt for a coastal theme, with pale blues and whites and light wooden bedroom furniture.
When you have decided how you would like your bedroom to feel then your next step will be designing the layout, you can use a mood-board for this. If you are not sure what a mood-board is, it is simply a board with all the ideas you want to incorporate, from the wallpaper or paint to the texture of the wood for the furniture. From this board you will be able to work out if this is the look you want and if by looking at it you feel relaxed and happy. This way you’ll be sure to make your bedroom perfect for you.
If you haven’t got the budget for a complete bedroom transformation, you can just add accessories that will transport your mind to somewhere more exotic, even the lighting of a bedroom can bring remarkable changes. Add pools of light with floorstanding lamps or move smaller lamps around the room to get the lighting exactly how you like it.
Your bedroom should be all about you and with you designing it with décor and accessories that make you happy, you’ll be sure to relax and unwind in style.
If you and your dog share the bedroom together then you’ll be well aware that dog hairs can get everywhere, but more important than that is that your dog bed needs to co-ordinate with your bedroom design.
