Wishing for the Perfect Bedroom? Get Simple Ideas on How to Create It

Who wouldn’t want to have the perfect bedroom? The problem with creating it is that there’s no comprehensive how-to guide that fits every need. That’s why we’ve come up with some general tips that can help you create your own perfect bedroom, no matter what that means for you.

Prioritize functionality

Most people want to start their décor plans by considering how they want their bedroom to look. This isn’t the best option. Instead, make sure that you’re planning for your room to be functional first. For example, start with the most important element – your mattress. Think not just about whether you want striped or patterned curtains, but of how much light filtering you need.

Consider what makes you relaxed

A bedroom that’s relaxing for one person won’t necessarily be relaxing for another. Some people want a spa-like bedroom with silk draperies and fluffy, white bedding. Others would feel like that type of room is cold and would prefer bright colors and lots of knickknacks. There’s no right or wrong answer here – just make sure you’re thinking not about what others think of as relaxing but of what actually relaxes you.

Don’t underestimate the importance of lighting

Your bed takes up a ton of space within the bedroom, but light fixtures can help draw the eye away from that horizontal plane and added decorative elements. Central overhead lights are great for functionality, but bedside lights and hanging sconces can be chosen to fit your personality and your style. Hanging pendants on either side of the bed, each one over a nightstand, is a favorite way to decorate with lighting.

Skip the sets and buy bedding separately

It’s common for people to assume that the best way to get the best deal on bedding is by buying a set from a single manufacturer. While this may result in the lowest price, it’s not likely the best value. Buy each piece separately based on your preferences and what you like – not on what comes in a set. You can choose all solid colors, you can mix patterns – you can even mix colors. The choices are all yours. At Half Price Drapes, we know that draperies are an important part of creating the perfect bedroom but they’re not the only thing you’re thinking about.
