Your bedroom is the most important room in your house. Not only is it the room you usually spend the most time in, it’s also the room you sleep in to recharge your batteries and prepare for the upcoming day. A perfectly designed bedroom can improve your work-life balance and even improve your overall outlook on life. Today on MyBayut, we’re going to give you some bedroom design ideas by focusing on key factors like ambience, personality and utility.
LATEST BEDROOM DESIGN IDEAS: HOW TO DESIGN A PERFECT BEDROOM IN DUBAI
To begin deconstructing the science of modern bedroom designs, you need to start looking at your bedroom a bit differently. Each aspect of your bedroom, from the furnishings to the wall and floors, can contribute to the overall perception. This can affect both your asleep and awake moments spent in the room.
Let’s start with the most important part of the bedroom:
YOUR BED
Your bed is the centrepiece of your room. It is what your design will revolve around. The bed coverings and the side furniture will serve as a natural contrast to the decor of the room.
There are a variety of options you can go with when it comes to beds. Pick from a range of frame types, sizes and even the choice of materials that fits your needs. The perfect bed should include the following key features:
- Good back support
- Comfortable and easily manageable mattress
- Adequate head support
- A reasonably proportionate headboard
Key things you need to consider before buying the right bed is your room size and dimensions. Ideally, you don’t want more than 20% of your available floor space dedicated to the bed itself. The positioning of the bed should also be done in a way to provide an adequate flow of movement from one side of the bedroom to another, without creating any choke points or claustrophobic corners.
A one-person bedroom will have different dynamics compared to a two-person bedroom. For instance, nightstands on both sides of the bed for both of the occupants of the room as opposed to only one.
Bedding is more of a choice to complement your style and sensibilities. Ideally, the perfect bed coverings would be low maintenance, yet be plush to feel and have a luxurious look. Nobody wants to spend 20 minutes in the morning just straightening their beds. Go for simplicity and comfort with a little bit of flair for bedding. This works for all types of apartments, particularly 1-bed units in Dubai.
Once you have picked out your bed and beddings, we move on to the next most important aspect of the room:
THE FLOORING
Most people don’t consider flooring to have a major impact on the tone or feel of their bedroom. However, the flooring almost always occupies a third of your visual periphery.
Depending on how you choose to style it, you can have your floor feel warm and earthy, or clinical and chic. Wood panel flooring can set a warm tone for a room and if combined with fur rugs can add a touch of luxury.
Plain marble flooring can add a clean look and a touch of personality to an otherwise empty space. Combined with abstract patterned rugs or carpets, it can add a touch of visual dissonance to break through the sterility.
While rugs/carpets are a good addition, you can also consider installing tiles on the floor. Wondering which of these types will work better for your bedroom? Learn the comparison of the two in our guide on the salient features of carpet vs tiles... to know which of these options will be best-suited for you!
Now you have homed in on the perfect flooring to complement your bed, let’s move on to the next most important visual component of your room.
THE WALLS
Just like the floor, the walls contribute significantly to the look and feel of your bedroom. The majority of your visual space will be occupied with the wall colour. Thus choosing the right colour for your walls is an important step in perfecting your bedroom.
Your choice of colour for your room should depend on a number of factors. Not all colours will work for all types of rooms. You need to consider where your windows are positioned and how much natural light will be entering your room in the daytime. The positioning of light fixtures and the tone and colour of your flooring and bedding should also be considered.
You can choose to make your headboard the centrepiece. Or use a textured wall with a dark colour to accent your beddings, whilst leaving all other walls plain coloured and primary. You can even go with a thematic tri-tone with the furnishings and wall trimmings. Each has a different primary colour and the walls contrast that with a lighter or darker tone.
You can also choose to use wallpapers in your room. Check these wallpaper decor ideas for your bedroom!
Remember that the more coherent your wall décor is, the more harmonious the overall look and feel of your room will be.
Once you have organised the visual layout of your room, the next most important step is to choose what to place in your room…
THE FURNISHINGS
From the end of bed benches to bookcases, you can add anything to your bedroom to compliment your personality and style. Finding the right piece of furniture that compliments your bedroom, however, can sometimes be like finding a lost jigsaw puzzle piece. This is why people can often end up having mismatched furniture that doesn’t complement the aesthetics of the room and creates a jarring visual effect. Bad furnishing choices stick out like a sore thumb, which is why you need to be super careful about what you put in the bedroom.
Ideally, you should purchase furnishings along with your bed to ensure the materials, textures and colours all match. There are a lot of furniture stores in Dubai that sell completely-themed bedroom sets that include all the furnishing components you might require.
An alternative would be to choose a neutral universal material for your bed and find furnishings that complement that neutral bed design. You can even repaint and retexture broad surfaces (using wood veneers or paints) to make your furniture look more uniform and follow an overall theme.
If you want to go all shiny and sparkly, you can also consider incorporating jewel tones into your room!
