“Where do I start with my bedroom design?”
- Determine how you use the bedroom. Do you use for just sleeping and intimacy, or do you have to use it as a home office, workout room….?
- Once the functionality is determined, and if multiple spaces are needed, zone out the spaces.
“How do I make it a space to sleep AND a retreat for myself to relax?”
- Lighting (Dimmers, Blackout Shades)
- Linens (Think Hotel Luxe)
- Bedside Table Must Haves (Water, Jewelry Holder)
- Avoid Placing These on Your Bedside Table (Electronics)
“What if my partner and I have different tastes in design style?”
- Create a separate and private Pinterest boards. After a week or so, share and compare. Concentrate on the images that overlap in style.
“My room basically just has space for a bed, what do I do?”
- Our first step would be discuss and understand the purpose of such a large bed.
- Pending the outcome
- Consider floating shelves
- Plug-in sconces
- Luxe bedding
- Pending the outcome
Designer Tip: If you are remodeling and living in the space while doing so, consider designing the bedroom first. This way you always have a place to retreat and relax at the end of the day.
