A color that inspires calm
The bedroom should be colourfulis made in pastel colors. Nothing should be irritating. There should be no wow effect here. Choose a calm color scheme, ideally a cold or neutral color scheme. Our opinion: - A light color scheme, in addition to having a calming effect on the psyche, is also capable of expanding the space. So this technique is especially suitable for small rooms and those rooms where sunlight rarely shines. Light shades will give a noble look to a large bedroom. The most universal style in which such a color scheme will look most harmonious is Scandinavian. Today it can often be found, and not only in Swedish apartments.
Fabric wallpaper on the walls
Textile wallpaper is soft to the touch.They perfectly diffuse both daylight and decorative light. They create a feeling of warmth and coziness. Of course, this option is not cheap, but do you really save on your comfort? Their advantages over regular wallpaper are obvious:
- They are natural and safe for humans;
- Do not burn out, are resistant to moisture and abrasion;
- Clean without much effort with a vacuum cleaner with a soft nozzle;
- Provide soundproofing;
- The huge range available allows you to choose them to suit any interior.
High headboard
A high headboard will compositionally mark the centerof the room and, in addition, will make it more comfortable. It can be made from a variety of materials, for example, from panels covered with fabric. If you choose this option, you will immediately solve the issue of additional sound insulation.
Soft carpet
Place a carpet on the floor.It can be a small bedside rug or a wall-to-wall floor covering. In any case, it should be soft and tactilely pleasant. Our opinion: - Carpets with long pile can give a special coziness. In addition to pleasant tactile contact, they absorb the noise of footsteps. This option will appeal to children, especially babies who cannot walk yet. Goat skins of light colors, such as beige or white, will look fashionable and interesting. They will add a touch of warmth to the bedroom interior.
Comfortable mattress
The mattress is one of the most important componentsgood sleep. Choose the most suitable mattress for you, you should not save on it. I advise you to choose a spring mattress. For beds with a lifting mechanism, it is better to choose a low model, 25-30 centimeters. If the bedroom is designed in a classic style, a high mattress will look impressive, which will also increase the height of the bed itself.
The right pillows
I recommend choosing several for the bedroompillows: one for sleeping (standard size is 50 by 70 centimeters) and one pillow for reading (70 by 70 centimeters). The combination of these sizes is convenient to use and looks great when decorating a bed. Also, when decorating a bed, do not forget about such elements as a cylindrical pillow, a folded blanket at the bottom of the bed. Yes, perhaps this combination is hackneyed, but it is a classic of the genre, which means it will not irritate and will always be relevant.
Silk pillowcases
Unlike sheets, which are uncomfortablesleep due to slipping, silk pillowcases are very nice. Silk has excellent tactile properties, it is an environmentally friendly material. Our opinion: - For bed linen, it is better to choose materials such as cotton and satin. They are pleasant for the skin and environmentally friendly.
Naturalness of materials
When furnishing your bedroom, pay special attentionpay attention to the materials from which the furniture, bed linen, curtains, mattress and decorative elements are made. Make sure that all of them are made of environmentally friendly and natural materials. After all, you spend most of your life in the bedroom. And your comfortable sleep directly depends on this factor. Avoid substitutes, materials with a mixed composition!
Curtains
The curtains in the bedroom should be sufficientthick, to prevent sunlight from entering in the morning, when you still want to bask in a warm bed. It is advisable to use a combination of thick curtains and light ones, for example, made of voile or organza. At night, close the windows with thick curtains, and during the day use light ones, tying up the main curtains so that they do not interfere with the natural light of the room.
Aromatherapy
An excellent relaxing effect can be achievedcan be achieved by combining a harmonious interior with pleasant aromas. To do this, simply light aroma candles or an aroma lamp. Just do not let the water with oil boil, otherwise other enzymes will start to be released from it, which can affect the body differently. For relaxation, such oils as lemon balm, lavender, sandalwood, chamomile, as well as mixtures of oils from ylang-ylang, patchouli, jasmine, geranium, basil and bergamot are suitable. pinterest.com
