How to design a bedroom: 6 styling tips

If your approach to bedroom interior design has always involved randomly selecting linens, furnishings and colours, take note! A tranquil bedroom requires some planning before you get started.

If you need a little guidance, we’ve put together a few tips to keep in mind while you style the bedroom of your dreams.

Home styling: Bedroom design ideas

Blend cheap and chic

By carefully spending a little more on the right items, you can create a bedroom that’s both cheap and chic. Balancing high and low-cost items together in the room can easily help you stay under budget while allowing you to bring the luxury look to life. Invest in things like quality bedding, a decent bed frame and lighting. The remaining items like artwork, decorative items and bedside tables can easily be purchased on a budget.

Choose subtle colours

While your creative side might be telling you to take a risk, most interior designers recommend soothing, neutral shades in the bedroom. Rather than any bold primary colours, decorate predominately with soft shades of blues, pinks, greens, greys or browns to promote a feeling of peace within your bedroom sanctuary.

Room to breathe

A bedroom is a place of rest, and as such, should ideally have plenty of room to move around freely and easily. For complete ease of movement and optimal energy flow, try and leave a minimum of three steps between your bed the surrounding walls.

Slip in some symmetry

One of our favourite interior design tricks is to add symmetry. If you have the room, have two matching side tables with two identical lamps mirroring each other on either side to create a well-balanced space.

Don’t scrimp on the storage

This one’s easier said than done, but it’s always best to store your belongings out of sight. Not only will this increase the sense of space in the room but it’ll also promote a feeling of serenity.

When selecting items for your bedroom, make smart storage choices in the forms of small trunks that can easily slip under the bed and bedside tables with built-in drawers.

Add bedroom curtains or blinds

Aside from blocking light at night and protecting your privacy, window dressings will help to make the room complete. If you’re wondering how to choose curtains or blinds for the bedroom, here are some of the top styles we recommend.

Day and night blinds: Vision blinds, also known as day and night blinds, feature two layers of horizontal striped fabric (opaque and translucent), which work in harmony to gently filter light, or block it out completely.

Roller blinds: Offering flexible light and privacy control, roller blinds are as practical as they are stylish. When customised with blockout fabric, these blinds will block out outside light and even help to regulate the temperature in your bedroom to ensure that you get the best night’s sleep possible!

Roman blinds: Similar to roller blinds, Roman blinds can also be custom made with blockout fabric, to ensure that street lighting and sunlight does not disrupt your night’s sleep. You can buy our Roman and roller blinds online.

Sheer curtains: Sheers are a dreamy addition to any bedroom. They softly filter natural light and protect your privacy during the day to create a secluded sanctuary. Pair our sheers with blinds for added privacy and light control.
