How to furnish a bedroom? Expert guide

Kingdom of our dreams, cocoon of intimacy, rejuvenating nest, haven of well-being… The bedroom is a multiple place where rest and relaxation are the key words. To arrange it in your image, follow our guide.

What style of decoration to choose?

First step when thinking of redesigning a room in your house: choose a style of decoration. The universe of your bedroom will depend on your tastes. You will find below an overview of the different possible decorative themes, each of which is detailed in more detail in an article.

A Feng Shui bedroom

Feng Shui is a Chinese method whose goal is to rebalance the energies of a space by modifying its layout. Among the different rules to follow for a Feng Shui bedroom, there is for example the location of the bed which should never be positioned between the door and the window. The head should be against a wall but not under a window.

A Scandinavian bedroom

Minimalist decoration, functional furniture, material and color oscillating between white and wood, here are the 3 basic characteristics of a Scandinavian bedroom. To integrate it into your home, find out about the Danish way of life embodied by Hygge.

A modern bedroom

Modernity rhymes with total white look, designer decorative pieces and geometric shapes. Note, contrary to popular belief, a modern bedroom is not a cold room devoid of life and warmth, quite the contrary.

A vintage bedroom

The vintage style gives pride of place to the 20s to the 60s. A vintage room will be characterized by its retro side, its antique objects or its wallpaper.

A designer bedroom

Combine black and white, add functional furniture, integrate a light fixture with designer curves and purify your decoration as much as possible, you will obtain a designer bedroom.

A cozy bedroom

Who says cozy room says room full of softness, fluffy materials, pastel colors. We do not forget either, the accumulation of thousands of cushions and plaids, the ultra cozy carpet at the foot of the bed or the subdued lighting.

A bohemian bedroom

The bohemian, boho chic or even ethnic style is above all an art of living that advocates in particular carelessness and nomadic life. A bohemian bedroom should have lots of colors, patterns and accessories from all over the world.

A male bedroom

Several styles of decoration are possible for a masculine bedroom, namely: minimalist, rustic or even industrial. In terms of materials and colors, we will favor gray, blue and black accompanied by wood or raw concrete.

A master bedroom

Generally, a master bedroom, also called a master suite, consists of a bedroom part but also a bathroom and sometimes even a dressing room. These 3 parts may have their own unity but must also form a coherent and harmonious whole.

What color should you choose for your bedroom?

The colors in a bedroom set the tone! The flagship shade conducive to relaxation is white. But be careful not to turn into the total look, because a white bedroom from the walls to the ceiling through the bed linen may turn your room into a hospital room. If you like white, consider combining it with natural colors and playing with materials.

gray bedroom is another classic. We particularly like gray because it is a timeless shade that goes well with many other colors.

The last color that comes to mind when thinking of a bedroom is blue! This nuance, which is available in a rich palette of colors, is linked to the terms: relaxation, rest, zenitude… A blue bedroom is a room with trendy decoration and where you feel particularly good.

What furniture in a bedroom?

Any bedroom, regardless of the style you have chosen, must have certain elements of furniture and decoration. Get collections on homary.com!

The carpet

How to choose it? Where to put it? What material? What size? These are all questions to answer before choosing a rug for your bedroom.

mirrors

Not only archi-practical, mirrors have the power to enlarge a room, at least to give the illusion of it. They are therefore the key element for furnishing a small bedroom. Large or small, rectangular or rounded, colored or raw, the mirrors are endlessly available.

lighting

One of the common mistakes when designing a bedroom is to neglect the lighting or to illuminate this room only with dim light. Outside in a bedroom, we don’t just sleep. We read, we dress, sometimes we work… All these activities require different perspectives. It is essential to reflect on this.

A wall decoration

Your bedroom design won’t be complete until you focus on wall decor. Again, to dress the walls of a room, there are many possibilities. Wallpapers, photos, mirrors, frame walls, designer sculptures … Here are some elements of wall decoration.

Plants

Can we put plants in a bedroom? The answer is yes. Contrary to popular belief, plants don’t take all your oxygen overnight. Certainly they reject CO2 but they cannot asphyxiate you. We love depolluting plants in a bedroom. Don’t have a green thumb? Consider dried flowers.

The hairdresser

It’s not an essential piece of furniture in a bedroom, but if you like to dress up in this room, it is not useless to opt for a dressing table. When we think of a dressing table, we often see a piece of furniture with an old look that is a bit has-been. Rest assured, the models have evolved and you find them today in all styles. With or without a mirror, minimalist or glamorous, classic or design… Find our selection of dressing tables!

How to design an attic bedroom?

It all depends on the size of your attic. Note that most of the time, we will use the space under the attic to create storage spaces. You can either create custom-made furniture or simply install rattan baskets or wooden crates… In some homes, the frame is high enough to create a mezzanine. You can thus install your bed or an office space.

On the color side, we will favor light shades. They will visually enlarge the space!

Focus on the guest room

Does your house have a guest bedroom? Make it a welcoming and warm room and not a storage room. Think during its development that the guest room must directly put your loved one at ease. In terms of decoration, it must be cosy, bright and practical. We favor light shades and natural materials that are versatile but not without charm!
