By Living Better on February 14, 2020
Are you planning to redecorate your bedroom to give it a more relaxing ambiance and the privacy you’ve always wanted? For many women over 50, their privacy is paramount. Do not forget to prioritize your window coverings when making your plans. To give your bedroom a unique and modern look, you may consider unique window coverings like Venetian blinds.
Your bedroom is one of the important parts of your home. It provides you with a secure space to relax and enjoy restful slumber. You can also use it as your home office, an exercise area, and a pleasurable place to read a book. It is, therefore, necessary to make it as comfortable and relaxing as possible.
How to decorate a cozy bedroom
Your bedroom is your private sanctuary. It reflects your lifestyle, favorite colors, moods, and inner self. It is, therefore, necessary to accessorize it with the appropriate furnishings which express your personality. Here are some guides you may use when decorating your room:
- Choose furniture keeping the size of your bedroom in mind – When buying movables, find ones that fit your room. Measure the size of your space and make a floor plan detailing where you place your furniture. Select the ideal bed, dresser, chairs, and other accessories based on the size of the room.
- Consider soft colors – You may find subtle colors calming and soothing, so choose them when painting your room. You can paint softened versions of your favorite colors to make your room more relaxing and comfortable.
- Paint your ceiling with a toned-down version of your wall color – Your ceiling is the focus of your gaze as you lie in your bed, so make it as calming as possible. Complement your wall color by painting your ceiling with a lighter color. You can also add some architectural elements like moldings and beams. You can also use decorative paints, a molded medallion, and a chandelier of crystals to bring a sense of luxury and warmth to your ‘fifth’ wall.
- Create your private corner – You can include an intimate nook or lounging space where you can sit and read your favorite books. Buy a comfortable chair and footstool to ensure a pleasurable reading. In addition to your Venetian blinds, you may construct a window seat under your window where you can enjoy the view and natural light during your solitary moments if your room is big enough.
- Introduce several lighting layers – To make your bedroom more functional, you may include different lighting options. Ambient lights will illuminate the area, while small lamps will be for activities like reading, and accent light will provide soft illumination. With different lighting, you can transform the mood of your room from vibrant to calm and intimate in an instant.
- Buy elegant and luxurious linens for your bed – Soft linens make your bed a comfortable and cozy place to sleep or enjoy your solitary moments. As a guide, buy sheets made of 100% cotton and linen with thread counts of 350 or more.
- Use fashionable and functional window coverings – Your windows serve as the gateway to your outdoors.
You may consider installing Venetian blinds for aesthetics and functionality purposes. These blinds can maintain your privacy and control the entry of natural light. Your bedroom serves as your private hideaway where you can relax and become intimate. When decorating your room, try to turn it into a real getaway. Make it a place exclusively for sleeping, reading, relaxation, and romance.
