     10. SECRETS OF INTERIOR DECORATING FOR YOUR BEDROOM WHICH A PROFESSIONAL WILL NEVER TELL YOU?????                

                      

                          1. Choose Subtle Colour

Instead of bold primary colors, choose soothing shades and a restful palette of monochromatic tones. Remember color theory: gentle hues of blue, lavender, or green are considered calm and serene. Rich jewel-toned hues help set the mood of coziness and comfort. These might include toasty browns, deep pomegranate, or topaz. Use toned-down versions of your favorite colors in the bedroom." That might mean choosing mauve instead of eggplant, or pumpkin instead of tangerine.  

                      2. Don't Overlook the Ceiling

The ceiling is the fifth wall in a room. When you lie in bed, do you see a bland, blank surface? Add a subtle pattern or soft color. Paint the ceiling a slightly lighter version of the wall color. This will help to visually lower the ceiling and give the space a feeling of comfort and intimacy.

Other solutions would be to stencil or wallpaper the ceiling, add architectural elements in the form of beams or moldings or use a decorative paint treatment. For ultimate luxury, silver-leafed bedroom ceilings, a canopy or tented bed with a dressing that hangs from the ceiling can envelop you in sensuality and warmth while adding texture, design, and color to the ceiling. Add a molded medallion and chandelier of crystal or delicate shades bringing color, pattern, and texture to the "fifth wall" above you.

                   3. Indulge in Luxurious Linens

Outfit your bedroom with beautiful and luxurious fabrics. There's nothing that adds comfort to a bedroom like beautiful linens. Don't buy sheets that are less than 100 percent cotton or linen with high thread counts of 350 or more. For sheets that feel like they came from a 5-star hotel, send them to the dry cleaner for professional washing and pressing, which doesn't cost much, but creates a crisp smoothness worthy of the Ritz.

Add other sensual feeling fabrics through the bedroom with a soft mohair or cashmere throw on the arm of a reading chair, cover the walls with silk or textured wall coverings, hang silk draperies or a silk bed canopy, or add plush floor coverings.

                       4. Use the right lightings.

Instead of using lights in the middle of the ceiling, use lampshades, up lights and pin lights. Using these type of lightings will give a great mood to your room. It would even be easier for you to rest with that ambience.

                        5. Have good ventilation.

This might not be about decorating but ventilation is very important. You wouldn’t want to stay in a place that is too hot or too cold. If you want to have that fresh and cool air inside your room, use an exhaust fan. Put in on the ceiling or wall that is farthest from the window. This will help you save a lot for you won’t need to use an air conditioner if the weather is cold. You may also opt to have wide glass windows if you want. This can allow sunlight to get into the room.

Among all rooms in your home, your bedroom’s look should be the most relaxing. It should have a calm atmosphere. Your interior design will greatly affect the ambiance and mood of your bedroom. Your bedroom will also reflect your personal style and taste, thus it also tells who you are as a person. Now that we have done our part in giving you these bedroom decorating tips, it is now up to you to make your bedroom a nice place for rest and sleep.

                      6. Have a smart storage space.

  

Of course, you would always have a cabinet in your room where you will place your clothes and other belongings. It is advisable to have extra cabinet to make sure your things are well kept. Be wise in placing it in order to save space. A bedroom should be well arranged, neat and clutter-free. Having enough storage spaces will help you avoid clutter.

                 7. Choose the right flooring material.

Instead of using cold flooring like ceramic tiles, marble or granite, make use of laminated flooring, wood, or carpet. It is not advisable to use ceramic tiles because it will only make your floor cold. You wouldn’t want to get out of bed and step on a cold floor. You might even slip if you use ceramic tiles. But if you already have cold flooring in your bedroom, put a rug or a carpet near your bedside.

                       8. Keep the Bedroom Simple

A bedroom should look cozy and simple, sophisticated, and elegant, regardless of what  you choose. For ease of movement, leave a minimum of three feet between the bed and side walls or large pieces of furniture and at least two feet between the bed and low furniture, like tables and dressers. If you have to walk around the bed to get from the closet to the bathroom, think of how you can move the bed.

Furnish your bedroom with only what you need. A bed, a bedside table or two, a dresser, and chair are necessities. Anything else is clutter. If you have room, place a chest of drawers in the closet.

Accessories should be kept to a minimum. Choose a beautiful piece of artwork, arrange some family photos, add flowers and candles, and leave it alone

                    9. Choose the Right Size Furniture

When you're ready to buy bedroom furniture, start out with a floor plan and a measured drawing of the space. Furniture should fit the room it lives and this is particularly true for bedroom furniture. Don't choose a heavy, large bed and dresser for a small bedroom. If the ceiling is high, a tall headboard will help to visibly bring it down to size.

If your bedroom is large, choose furniture that fits it, too. Add a chair and ottoman or place a piece of furniture at the end of the bed. Furniture and accessories that are too small will look lost in a large room.

                         10. Cover the Windows

A beautifully dressed window will help to frame the window and the view and provide other ways to add color, pattern, texture, and softness to a bedroom. If you love soft sheer curtains that filter light, combine opaque roller blinds that can be pulled down to maintain privacy at night and to block morning light.

For all draperies, include opaque blinds or drapery lining to keep out the sun when you want to sleep late.
