Make your Bedroom Classy and Relaxing

The bedroom is that one place in the house where you retire to after a long day. Whether you're alone or a couple, you should go out of your way to make your bedroom as relaxing and inviting as possible. Here are some tips to help you along:

1. Select a color scheme: Most women tend towards warm colors, while men prefer cooler shades. Feel free to experiment with your favorite colors. You can mix-and-match colors to create a sharp contrast, or you can use different shades on the same color. There are no definite rules when it comes to colors; feel free to pick what pleases your eye. For couples, go for neutral colors like grey and cream. Let there be some harmony between your curtains, quilt cover, pillows and carpet; for an overall classic look.

2. Comfortable headboard: Take a break from beds with hard, wooden headboards that are uncomfortable to lean on. Go for colorful, padded headboard that matches the bed design. Even without pillows, you can lie on it comfortably as you turn the pages of your favorite read.

3. Invest in different bedding: However inviting your bedroom looks, monotony will quickly kill it. Your quilt cover is one of the most noticeable elements of your bedroom. Do not let it stay for too long, or your bedroom will feel boring. Every 3 weeks or so, replace with a different one. The latter can be dry-cleaned and stored. This simple switch will instantly give your bedroom a new look.

4. Include the bathroom: Extend the pampering of your bedroom to the bathroom. Create a master suite by unifying the bedroom and bathroom looks. Use similar colors, fabrics, patterns and motifs in the bathroom. Divide accessories between the two so that the mood is similar as well. As a result, the entire space will feel larger and more comfortable.

5. Furnish your bedside: Depending on the available space, include some elegant bedside furniture. Such furniture can serve multiple purposes, and also allow you to add some decorations like flower vases. You can have a bedside table equipped with drawers for storing your books and other items. A lampstand is also a good idea. Whichever you choose; let your bedside accessories express your style and taste.

6. Pick suitable lighting: The bedroom hardly ever requires very bright light. Some basic illumination is good enough. Lighting fixtures also give you an opportunity to add style and elegance to your bedroom. Bedside lamps come in handy for night-time reading. Floor lamps can also be used for lighting small areas. An overhead chandelier will crown the overall look and set stage for romantic nights.

7. Organize your closet: Throw out what you no longer need and hang the rest of your clothes in an orderly manner, so that there's no clutter lying around. Use the open shelves to store extra bedding such as sheets, pillow cases and quilt cover.
By following these tips, you can turn your bedroom to that inviting haven you've always dreamt of. Feel free to experiment with different styles until you come up with the best, so that your bedroom becomes much more than just a sleeping place. Good luck!
