Hello World! Welcome Friends! Unlike the living room or the kitchen, the master bedroom is most likely one of the only parts of the house that encounters the least number of visits. After all, privacy is a quality that bedrooms aim to achieve, not only master bedrooms. But since they’re private, bedrooms don’t often receive as much attention as the rest of the house.
Although your home is designed to accommodate you, the level of comfort for the entire building should be nothing compared to what you feel inside the master bedroom. If that’s not the case, you should ask yourself why you’d want to give your bedroom an upgrade. After all, anything less of maximum comfort is the last thing you’d call ideal.
Before you dive right into sprucing up the place, be aware of the following components:
1. Space
Staying somewhere cramped and tight doesn’t exactly scream luxury. And being claustrophobic won’t do you any wonders, given how describing a room as cramped already sounds like your worst nightmare. But what’s interesting when giving a room a makeover is how the size of the room doesn’t immediately equate to how cramped it is.
Naturally, a master bedroom is often designed to be the biggest one if there are more bedrooms in the house. However, not all houses are designed with the same measurements. Thus, some homeowners may have a roomy master bedroom while others are lucky to have enough space for a bed. Because of this, space must be your top priority when considering a makeover, whether it’s for your bedroom or for keeping rooms productive and climate efficient.
Other than having a lower-than-average size for a room, see if the reason behind the master bedroom’s cramped space is because of disorganization. After all, having all sorts of mess strewn about could make any room appear stuffier than it truly is.
Therefore, instead of thinking about renovating the room entirely, consult experts on what organizing solution will work in your case. Having shelves and drawers only acts as a temporary solution. Hence, you must look at the bigger picture if you want to give your master bedroom a makeover.
2. Atmosphere
Bedrooms are meant to exude comfort. It’s one of the places where you can simply kick back and take a nap because of how comfortable the place is. And master bedrooms are no different. As the homeowner, your bedroom must scream comfort for you and you alone.
Naturally, comfort as a concept is extremely subjective. Some find comfort in darker colors while others think lighter ones are cozier to look at. Right off the bat, you must know there’s no such thing as a cut-out picture for comfort, especially in your bedroom.
Wallpapers contribute to the room’s atmosphere a lot. Because as mentioned earlier, even something as simple as colors is enough to trigger some people’s happiness. But other than that, the room’s lighting might be worth looking into. After all, dim or low light gives off a moodier atmosphere, whereas brightly lit rooms often scream enthusiasm and a go-getter attitude. Therefore, knowing how your lighting works can also influence the vibes your room is going for.
3. Orientation
How your furniture is placed must be another factor you need to pay attention to, especially if your room is designed in a way that best highlights some of your pieces. For example, you have three picture windows on a single wall and all of them are rectangular. However, only one of them is placed horizontally while the others are positioned vertically on each side. Therefore, it now has an uneven balance on the wall.
You can use this imbalance to highlight your furniture. Placing your bed underneath the horizontal window gives it the ‘spotlight’ it deserves, considering it’s the main piece for a bedroom. Additionally, having natural light coming through the windows encourages energy efficiency.
As you can see, it’s up to you as the homeowner to study how your furniture should be oriented. After all, houses aren’t designed by one single architect. And it’s also worth noting that you must consider where the outlets and switches are placed for convenience.
4. Priorities
Although it sounds much more fun to choose between different lighting fixtures or paint colors, knowing which furniture you should have must be taken into account first and foremost. After all, your furniture pieces take up space in the room. And as mentioned earlier, every bit of space should be used wisely for comfort.
Naturally, the bed should be your top priority since that’s where you’re sleeping. You shouldn’t be afraid of splurging a bit when it comes to giving it a makeover or replacing it entirely with a new bed from somewhere like Rest Relax, considering your sleep quality depends on it. Once you find the perfect mattress, think about its bedding next. With how many designs there are in the market, looking for one might be overwhelming. Therefore, you should focus on which one gives off more of your vibes.
Right next to your bed is a bedside shelf. While it holds your things within reach, a bedside shelf must also complete the aesthetic of your room. Otherwise, it might turn out to be the center of attention instead of the bed. Therefore, if a bedside shelf doesn’t fit, let your creativity run wild and use something else like trunks or vintage suitcases.
One of the best things about a bedroom makeover is heading to a furniture store or taking a look online at the sets they have. Sometimes complete bedroom sets give you exactly what you are looking for with minimal effort. Or, since they are usually experts, you can give them a call and share what you already have and tell them you are looking for something to match. Keep in mind though that classics are usually around all year around – while trending furniture is likely to be available just for a few months – and that could change the priority order for purchasing!
Takeaway
Designing a room might be easy on paper but much more difficult in reality, especially if it’s the master bedroom you’ll be working on. After all, that’s the only place that reveals the ‘heart’ of your entire home’s personality, given it’s an extension of yourself. So, even though your bedroom demands a makeover, you must consider its factors first.
