If your bedroom doesn’t have these 5 things, it’s time for a rethink

Your bedroom should be a stylish, personal and above all relaxing space. So, if you feel as though your boudoir isn’t quite right, you might want to make some changes. To get you started, here are five things that all the best bedrooms have. If yours is lacking them, it’s definitely time for a rethink.

1. A standout bed

As furniture specialists Crown French Furniture highlight, the perfect sleep space begins with selecting the right bed. After all, beds are undoubtedly the central feature of these rooms, so to really nail your design scheme, you should go for a standout model that oozes luxury, elegance and sophistication. For timeless beauty and charm, it’s hard to beat French-style designs complete with intricate carved detailing and opulent headboards. Classic white or cream finishes can help to create a tranquil ambiance, while gold or silver leaf elevates your room to a new level of lavishness. So that you’ve got plenty of space to stretch out, go for a generously proportioned model, but make sure it suits the dimensions of your bedroom.

2. Sumptuous soft furnishings

Scratchy bedding is a big no no, so all bedrooms need sumptuously soft sheets. A scattering of plump cushions can make a great addition too, along with a plush throw. Also, if you don’t already have one, consider adding a thick pile rug to your room. This will add an extra element of conform underfoot and it can be a great way to introduce a pop of colour and personality to your design scheme.

3. Plenty of storage

A cluttered bedroom is a recipe for sleepless nights, so plenty of storage is a must. Bear in mind though, just because it’s practical doesn’t mean storage has to be dull. You can choose from an array of stylish solutions that will enhance the look and feel of your room. For example, why not add a couple of beautiful French-inspired bedside tables to your room, along with a carved armoire? Storage ottomans also make a superb addition and can work perfectly positioned at the end of the bed.

4. Personal touches

Arguably more than any other room in the house, your boudoir should reflect who you are. So, if you don’t already have lots of personal touches in there, now’s the time to unleash your creativity. Adding canvas prints, printed calendars or collages of your favourite photos, and hanging artworks that you love or you have a special connection to, can instantly give the room a more intimate and welcoming feel.

5. Layered lighting

To ensure that your room suits your every mood, it’s important to have layered lighting. Fitting a dimmer switch to a central pendant light means you can change the atmosphere of the space in an instant. By introducing a combination of soft lamps and task lights as well, you can ensure that your room’s perfect for all occasions. To complete the look, why not add some cute fairy lights?

By covering all of these bases when it comes to bedroom design, you can rest assured you’ll have a sleep space to be proud of.
