Unusual location
New designs suggest making a bedroom on the attic floor and creating a room with a view of the sky, starry or impossibly blue, gray with a dash of raindrops or cozy with snow.
An interesting option would be to locate the bedroom on the first floor, where the window faces the garden. In this version, the window opening, if properly designed, will become a kind of picture that will change with the changing seasons.
Normal location
For those who do not want to change the standard location too much, the traditional place will be a room on the second floor. Such a dislocation will help rid the bedroom as much as possible from sounds from the street or smells from the kitchen. A bedroom on the second floor will become a warmer room than the room located below.
For older people, the best option would be to have a bedroom on the first floor, where they will not have difficulty walking up stairs. In this case, the bedroom is moved to the maximum distance from the front door and kitchen area.
The ideal location of the bedroom would be the southwest side of the building, and if the windows face the courtyard, then the bedroom can be called an exemplary place.
It is this location that will provide the opportunity to lie in bed longer on a fine day, without squinting from the sun, and protect those sleeping from the noise of the street. At the same time, a fairly large amount of light will penetrate into the bedroom.
Historical style. Expensive Victorian bedroom for connoisseurs of luxury
The Victorian bedroom impresses with its spaciousness and rich decoration. This design is chosen by wealthy people who value sophistication in everything, as well as lush decor and soft shapes in the interior.
The splendor of historical style
Interior design in this style includes modeling, decorative patterns on furniture, textiles and walls, and is also distinguished by pretentiousness and pomp.
Four Poster Bed
Even if you are not attracted by voluminous stucco with patina and other exquisite decor in the bedroom interior, then a four-poster bed will definitely delight you. This detail makes the furniture cozy and the interior comfortable.
Comfortable bed in historical style

Tip When choosing paint for walls, it is better to choose a light option. Bright colors do not allow you to relax.
Wall decoration and other features
If you want to create a relaxing atmosphere in the bedroom, then choose wallpaper with a light background for the walls. Options with complex plant patterns and thick curls look great.

A massive low chest of drawers is suitable for such a bedroom. It is also used as a dressing table. To do this, hang a mirror in a carved wooden frame above the chest of drawers. relaxinfo
The interior is particularly luxurious due to its multi-level chandelier with crystal pendants and sconces.
Bedroom dimensions
Very often, home owners, accustomed to standard apartments, go to extremes: they make the bedroom disproportionately large or a habitually small room.
Both mistakes can be avoided if you divide the house into almost equal parts according to the number of planned rooms. In this case, the bedroom should be slightly smaller than the living room, but about a quarter larger than the children's and guest rooms.
What is important to consider when planning the interior
When creating an individual bedroom design, it is necessary to take into account the size and shape of the room, the level of natural light, and the owner’s temperament. Selecting the right furniture and accessories will create the intended mood and emphasize the character of the people living in the room.
General principles of space planning and zoning
First of all, you should decide what functions the bedroom should perform. This can only be a place to sleep. Also in the room there are often cabinets and cabinets for storing things, a workplace, an area for giving beauty to the face and body, and much more.
The size and shape of the room is important. It is not always possible to fit everything the owner dreams of into the bedroom. Sometimes furniture is placed so inconveniently that it interferes with free passage from one area to another. It must be remembered that the distance on each side of the bed and between the rest of the furniture should not be less than 70 cm.
Enough space on each side of the bed will help avoid the feeling of “pressing walls”
When open drawers or cabinet doors, it is recommended to leave at least 30 cm of additional free space.
Correct determination of the location of the berth
The main piece of furniture that should be in the center of the room is a large, comfortable bed, with the headboard facing the wall.
If there is too much space left on the sides of the bed, you can fill it with bedside tables, a carpet, a large mirror or a pouf
In a very narrow rectangular bedroom, it is necessary to remember that it must be possible to approach the sleeping area from several sides. Sometimes this requires changing the position of the bed.
In any case, it is necessary to calculate the ratio of space and bed so that you can approach it without fear of falling due to tightness
The most comfortable is considered to be a square room, in which all the interior items are placed on different sides, and there is free space in the center.
When it is necessary to accommodate several beds, for example in a teenager's bedroom, the most common solution is to place the beds against one wall. In this case, the distance between the furniture should be at least 70 cm.
For several inhabitants of the bedroom, it is advisable to organize the same type of furniture so that there are no comparisons and disputes
To provide a large amount of free space, beds are placed along the walls, and not in the central part of the room.
This arrangement will be great for a room with two same-sex children, as it will preserve play space for them
Necessary interior elements
To properly design a bedroom, it is important to keep track of the following points:
- choice of colors;
- furniture arrangement;
- lighting system;
- accessories and original interior details.
Other
It is worth paying attention to the character and habits of the owner of the bedroom.
Designers recommend choosing a room with windows facing east as a place to sleep. In this case, the first rays of the sun will enter the window and delight the sleeper. However, for owl people this option is unacceptable. They need to take care in advance of thick curtains that do not allow light to pass through, or choose a room with access to the west.
Bedroom decoration
Private ownership simply requires the use of natural materials: brick or wood.
However, not all design styles support this requirement. Sometimes a modern bedroom design in a home looks much better with artificial materials.
Spicy ethnic atmosphere
Ethnic style items allow you to express your individuality and emphasize your area of interest or ethnicity. At the same time, to introduce the spicy spirit of Hawaiian, Moroccan or Indian style, you don’t need to completely remodel the room.
It is enough to bring into the interior a few characteristic pieces of furniture (wicker rattan chairs or Japanese futons), textiles or decorative elements (figurines, lamps, painted dishes), and the room will be transformed.
A bedroom in a modern style is universal: monochromatic decoration and furniture serves as a backdrop for the implementation of the most daring design ideas.
Decorating with antiques Source onekindesign.com
It is better to implement ethnic motifs in design in portions. You should not overload the room with souvenirs: this will not contribute to comfort, but will only give it the appearance of a museum.
The bright Slavic style (Russian, Ukrainian) can be emphasized with embroidered towels or bedspreads, painted wooden plates, and paintings.

Low tea tables, wall scrolls with images of dragons, cranes, cherry blossoms, bright pillows with contrasting hieroglyphic embroidery will help to decorate the bedroom in Japanese style.

Ceiling decoration
The bedroom ceiling can be painted or whitewashed. Wooden floor beams will be an excellent decoration for a bedroom in a rural style or a loft. The same technique is used to decorate the ceiling in the attic. Lining will be a good option for decorating ceilings in small rooms.
Stretch ceilings are used quite rarely; nevertheless, they will look more natural in urban spaces.
Scandinavian style. Practicality for those who like spacious rooms
Scandinavian style bedrooms are very bright. Such a practical design is appropriate for small rooms, because it makes them cozy, bright and functional. It is chosen by practical and easy-going people.
A real outlet for lovers of minimalism
What is the difference?
The Scandinavian style is very recognizable because it has a number of distinctive features, namely:
- There is a lot of white in the interior. The walls and ceiling, and sometimes the floor of the room, are painted white.
- Looks a little eclectic. Practical furniture with a modern design, rough-hewn wood models and antique items are used to furnish the bedroom.
- Practical. A bright interior does not look pale and faceless, because furniture with colored upholstery has an attractive design.
Light design with color accents
Attention to bedroom lighting
To make the bedroom interior look bright, just white color on the walls and ceiling is not enough, so lighting plays an important role in the interior design. Moreover, I’ll immediately clarify that decorative lighting is rarely used or not used at all.
Lamps, sconces and floor lamps are designed to illuminate and fill a room with light, which is why ordinary incandescent lamps are often found in Scandinavian bedrooms.
Incandescent lamps for a Scandinavian style bedroom
Advice For those who want to dilute the interior with color, you can use a chandelier painted in bright or unnatural colors.
The windows can be hung with light curtains in light colors or with colored patterns, or replaced with roller blinds. A bedroom without curtains will make the room even brighter.
The complete absence of decoration on the windows will not preserve privacy. If this is important to you, then you should take care and choose curtains or roller blinds.
Wall decoration
A bedroom in a wooden house will look great with natural materials: logs, panels or clapboard.
Stone or brick walls will be an excellent option for creating a country, loft or classic bedroom.
However, it is not necessary that all the walls in the bedroom look the same. The emphasis can be placed on one wall, usually it is located at the head of the bed or opposite the bed.
For lovers of strict ancient design rules, you can use plaster or more attractive decorative plaster. For them, using paint or wallpaper remains a good option.
Rustic style: a bedroom with a simple and comfortable interior for lovers of comfort
A country style bedroom is the personification of tranquility and home comfort. Simple chintz pillowcases with small flowers, heavy wooden chairs and pretty frills on the curtains recreate the atmosphere of a carefree childhood spent in the village.
Stylish bedroom Source onekindesign.com
When decorating a bedroom in a rustic style, you need to adhere to the following principles:
- simplicity and modesty, absence of luxury items;
- natural, discreet colors of decoration, furniture and textiles;
- objects of technical progress (TV, air conditioning) should be hidden or taken outside the room;
- Handmade textiles are used liberally to decorate the room: embroidery on pillows, curtains, curtains, homemade rag dolls.

The bed is the central element of the decor: it should be massive and high. Traditionally, the bed is made of wood of natural color or painted to match the rest of the furniture. A wrought-iron headboard will give the room a slight touch of Provence.

Bed linen should fit into the overall composition: it is worth choosing a set in calm, natural shades or with a small floral print.

Floor decoration
The design of a bedroom in a private house implies increased coziness and comfort. Therefore, the best solution would be to use parquet or parquet boards.
If such luxurious decoration does not quite fit into the budget, then expensive materials can be replaced with more affordable laminate or solid boards.
Cork will look beautiful, stylish and unusual.
Sometimes the floor in the bedroom is finished with natural stone. It all looks very majestic, but this solution has quite a lot of disadvantages. The stone is always cold, and therefore will require a carpet or the installation of a warm floor.
A small room will look rather strange with stone decoration, and the cost of the material and hiring installation specialists will not help you enjoy such a purchase.
Zoning techniques
A spacious bedroom in a private house can serve not only as a place of relaxation, but also as an area for activities that captivate the owners of the cottage. You can also create voluminous areas for storing things.
In order for the space to look holistic, it is necessary to combine various methods of zoning the space:
- Furniture. One of the simplest methods that does not require the creation of additional structures or selection of materials. Vivid examples are the separation of a seating area using a sofa, or the perpendicular installation of a closet, behind which a spacious dressing area is hidden.
Zoning using shelving Source dekoriko.ru
- Lighting. The main light source is located in the main zone - a chandelier. In neighboring areas, lighting is most often created using spotlights, wall and table lamps. You can create multi-level structures on the ceiling that will further emphasize the boundaries of neighboring zones.
Various lighting sources in the bedroom-living room Source design-homes.ru
- Color. Using color you can create a different mood in each area. For example, the relaxation area is made in soft pastel shades, and the office can be decorated in bright and rich colors that set the mood for fruitful work.

- Finishing. Different types of finishing materials can be used separately on each wall. This can be photo wallpaper, wood panels, plaster and even brickwork.

- Screens and partitions. You can build an entire wall of plasterboard, which will help create a new room. A less radical option is to use screens, which can be moved at your discretion and each time create a completely new space.

- Curtains. They are a type of partition. They generally cannot be moved, but can be opened and closed as needed.

- Podium. Often a podium is created for a certain area, which can serve as additional storage space. In the bedroom, this technique is most often used in the bed area.

Color spectrum
Calm shades of design will be the most suitable for decorating the room. After all, its main purpose remains to create comfortable conditions for relaxation of the whole body, eyes and brain.
The optimal colors remain white, beige, and sand shades. Similar tones look equally good in large rooms and bedrooms that are not very spacious.
For larger bedrooms, you can use darker colors to add extra elegance to the room. These can be shades of hot chocolate, bitter coffee, graphite.
Natural colors will perfectly resonate with the view outside the window, turning the bedroom into a continuation of the natural landscape.
Examples of a beautiful bedroom in the house will clearly demonstrate this statement.
Classic
An ideal bedroom for conservatives and people with high status. It is generally accepted that people choose the classic style:
- with wealth, who know how to value stability and honor traditions;
- who do not like change, do not chase fashion;
- choose a calm, measured life without haste and fussiness.
Features of classic interiors
The classic bedroom is made in light shades. Walls, ceilings, and other surfaces are decorated with beautiful decor. Expensive furniture with regular geometric shapes is used to furnish the interior.
Calm tones in all details
Light walls and ceilings
The classic style interior has light walls covered with plain paint, expensive plaster or wallpaper in light beige, light milky, cream or soft peach shades.
High ceiling with voluminous stucco molding
The high ceiling of such a room attracts the eye with voluminous stucco with floral or regular geometric patterns. The decor does not have to be made of plaster; it can be replaced with moldings made of modern polymer material. This will save time and money.
Exquisite textiles
Curtains or lambrequins for such rooms are selected from expensive heavy fabric that drapes beautifully and lies in voluminous, even folds and creases. Thick fabric with :
- overflow;
- shine;
- golden brocade.
Curtains and drapes to match the entire room
The bottom of the fabric and tiebacks are often trimmed with fringe. This makes the curtains look expensive and festive.
Curtains, drapes or drapes should match, but not blend with, the bedspread and other items in the room.
Solid wooden furniture
The furniture chosen is massive, made from expensive wood . For style, it is unacceptable to choose ergonomic furniture. It will introduce dissonance into the interior and significantly dilute the style. A bulky wardrobe and a heavy chest of drawers or a large cabinet are chosen with decor and a luxurious, rich look.
Solid wooden furniture for a classic style
A bedroom with a classic design must have:
- large bed with a high soft or carved headboard;
- large wardrobe with cornices and mirror;
- bulky chest of drawers for linen;

Yellow, sand, and mustard colors will add optimism to the room.
Lilac and purple inserts will attract you with their charming mystery and mysterious tranquility.
What color of furniture to choose for the bedroom
As already mentioned, the main principle of design for bedrooms and other living spaces is unity of style. All components of the interior must be combined in color, lines and shapes, and decorative elements. In addition, a certain concept must be expressed in the interior. There is one more requirement for bedrooms: since these are rooms for resting and sleeping, the entire environment in them should be relaxing, peaceful, and in a calm mood.
When choosing the color of bedroom furniture, keep in mind that it is the pieces of furniture, as the largest objects, that will set the color scheme of the entire space. As a rule, people do not change furniture when renovating, unlike wallpaper and ceilings.
White wooden or metal furniture is universal: it can be combined with almost any shade. The choice of colors for all other interior elements depends on whether the furniture in the bedroom is warm or cold in tone: they must match the shade of the furniture.
In the case when brightly colored furniture is chosen for the bedroom, you must first decide on its shades and only then paint (wallpaper, tile, etc.) the main surfaces of the room.
The furniture and decoration of the bedroom is influenced even by its location relative to the cardinal points:
- In rooms with windows facing north, the light always has a cold undertone, enhancing blues and greens in all shades. To compensate for this, interior designers advise choosing decoration and furniture in warm colors for such a bedroom.
- Conversely, in the bedrooms located on the western and southern sides of the house, warm, slightly golden lighting dominates, emphasizing the orange, yellow and reddish shades in the interior. It is better to furnish such a room with furniture in cool colors.
How to choose furniture for your bedroom in such a way as to turn the interior into a holistic ensemble without making it too colorful? To do this, you need to have an idea of the principles of color combinations. Suitable shades can be determined using the color wheel - the full spectrum of colors of the rainbow (from purple to red). A figure is superimposed on the color wheel, the number of corners of which is equal to the number of desired colors (there can be 2-3, but there can be 6). The shades indicated by the angles of this figure will combine well with each other.
In addition to dominant and complementary colors, it is important to wisely choose a separator color - a background, neutral tone on which the rest of the colors will be located. These are achromatic colors - black and white (including gray in all its variations). The separator color is not part of the palette, so it can be used in any quantity. The exceptions are minimalism and Japanese interior style, in which white is a full part of the palette.
Any color has warm and cold shades. So, yellow can be warm bright orange and ocher or cold lemon, golden, olive. You can introduce both warm and cold shades of the same color into the bedroom interior, but this requires great care: if you choose the wrong palette, the interior will begin to “fall apart”, become unbalanced and contradictory, which is unpleasant for the eye.
There is the following popular point of view: the bedroom should contain only calm colors, namely green and blue shades. But this is, to put it mildly, a one-sided approach. In the bedroom, people not only relax and sleep, but also wake up and prepare for a new day. This should also be taken into account when choosing the colors of bedroom furniture based on their effect on the human psyche.
- Red, orange, yellow are the most saturated and visible colors to the human eye. Perfect for children's rooms: children experience joy and cheerfulness in such an environment.
- Green, blue, purple, on the contrary, calm. They are more neutral than “sunny” yellows and oranges.
- Dark blue color is difficult to fit into the interior. It doesn’t go well with anything and forms a dark spot that attracts all attention. Therefore, it is advisable to use dark blue in small quantities as an accent.
Some color combinations have an irritating effect on the human psyche:
- Black and red. Such an interior looks acceptable in artificial light, but produces a very depressing impression in daylight. It’s especially unpleasant to wake up in black and red interiors in the morning; your mood immediately worsens. Plain black walls in the bedroom are the worst possible solution.
- Black and purple also look bad in bedroom interiors.
- Brown and gray individually can be actively used in interior design, but their combinations look very dull and overwhelming. Brown is associated with the color of wood, and brown wooden furniture looks harmonious and familiar, but if you paint other interior items this color, the room will seem poor and sad.
- Light green and gray are often found in the interiors of hospital wards and give rise to corresponding negative associations.
In addition to understanding the rules, personal aesthetic taste is also necessary, of course. A favorite color or combination present in the interior always makes a person happy.
Pastel colors are one of the most successful for bedrooms. It contains all seven colors of the rainbow, but they all seem faded, faded, diluted. They are not neutral, but give the impression of softness and lightness.
Within the pastel range, you can combine any colors, and the result will be quite harmonious. Moreover, in the interior of the bedroom you can use the entire pastel range, and this will not make it too colorful and bright, and will maintain tonal and stylistic unity.
To pastel shades, you can add light tones of the achromatic range (white and gray), as well as other light shades (cream, beige, ivory, butter). Brown goes well with pastel colors among saturated colors.
In a bedroom decorated in pastel colors, the best main color for furniture surfaces is white. By the way, it is not at all necessary to paint wooden furniture: light-colored wood looks great on its own. The same applies to golden pine. Take care to choose the right upholstery. If you plan to keep the entire bedroom interior in Provence style, it is recommended to choose floral upholstery.
Bright colors, by the way, are much more difficult to include in bedroom interiors: they combine less well with each other. Neutral colors in such an interior cannot be used without restrictions. As a rule, black, gray and white shades play the role of a background or separator (however, black is practically not used as a base).
Bed
The main element of furniture will be the bed. Usually it is installed with the head against one of the walls, but so that the person lying down can see the door to the room. For ease of use, convenient passages are left on both sides of the bed.
If the bedroom is designed for one person, the bed is moved sideways to the wall.
Bedside tables are installed next to the headboard.

Bedroom in high-tech style
Modern interior with practical technologies
In such a bedroom, the bed is equipped with convenient niches or drawers for storage. It also has lights, lifting mechanisms, a folding design for transformation, or other modern features.
Low podium beds are often used; they can seem weightless, since the podium on which the sleeping place is installed is smaller and is not visible . At the same time, the furniture has a wide and comfortable sleeping area with an orthopedic base and mattress.
The following may seem just as “suspended” and weightless:
- unusual cabinets;
- racks;
- tables.
They are installed on small podiums or attached to the wall.
Bright details for comfort
This weightless effect is enhanced if the room has self-leveling glossy floors. To furnish the dressing room, a sliding wardrobe with a mirrored glass panel is used. If the furniture has a blank door with a glossy finish, then it visually merges with the wall.
Advantages of hi-tech style:
- The style allows you to harmoniously fit in modern technology.
- The furniture is ergonomic and does not take up much space.
- The interior is not overloaded.
Shocking aesthetics in your home
Disadvantages of such interiors:
- High demands on every item in the room. Furniture, decor and finishing must be of high quality and have a smooth surface. Any imperfection or surface wear will be noticeable.
- The laconic design may not seem very cozy.
High demands on furniture and details
Storage systems
Since a private house provides more rooms for storing household items than an apartment, the bedroom is furnished to a minimum. A separate dressing room will replace a standard closet, and instead of it, a nice chest of drawers is purchased for the bedroom, into which all the items necessary for sleep can easily fit: bedding and underwear, spare pillows and blankets. A low chest of drawers will help you comfortably arrange your thoughts and bedspreads when you take them off before going to bed.
If it is difficult or unusual to discard a closet, use built-in structures or sliding wardrobes. Both options help save space with a large capacity.
Color solutions in the interior
Shades in the relaxation bedroom should have a calming effect and provide the owner with the opportunity to relax before everyday work. When choosing a color scheme, preference should be given to calm tones. Natural shades will add the necessary feeling of eco-friendliness and peace.
The muted colors in the bedroom should be complemented by a harmonious combination of warm and cool shades
There are many options for designing a sleeping area. Bright flashy colors give way to light, calm tones. Contrasting accents are used less and less. The main color is emphasized by deeper shades in a similar palette.
Other furnishings
For lovely ladies, a dressing table and a cozy chair or ottoman are placed near the window.
If a bedroom and an office are combined, a computer desk and a comfortable work chair are installed.
If the owners like to read, they roll comfortable armchairs and a coffee table into the room. These same items are suitable for those who are in love with quiet needlework.
Selection of furniture
The following set of furniture is typical for the bedroom:
- a large and comfortable bed is a must-have attribute of any rest room, which should not be skimped on in order to be able to get enough sleep every night;
- small bedside tables next to the bed for storing everything you need for sleeping - their number should be equal to the number of people living in the room;
- a spacious wardrobe and other furniture for storing things, if there is no dedicated dressing room;
- A dressing table is a mandatory element of the interior for a rest room used by a woman.
Furniture is selected in the same style as the overall interior of the room, and some interior details on it can create accents that are in harmony with each other.
If there is free space in the rest room, you can use items such as:
- bedside pouffe;
- cozy armchair;
- small ottoman;
- mirror - a must-have in the rest room.
This pouf is convenient to use for changing clothes: if necessary, you can put clothes or rest your foot on it
Lighting
Your own home can provide much more light than a city apartment. Even at the construction stage, it is possible to install window openings of non-standard sizes, allowing not only to attract maximum light flux, but also to give the opportunity to enjoy the surrounding view without getting out of bed.
Artificial lighting for the bedroom is represented by a central chandelier, which provides illumination of the entire room, and smaller lamps: sconces, spotlights, table lamps, floor lamps.
Textile
Mostly natural fabrics are used to decorate windows, which allow access to fresh air, warm breeze, and light.
Depending on the wishes of the owners and the chosen style, curtains can be presented in simple fabrics, multi-layer designs, or complex folds.
However, recently preference has been given to minimalist curtains, which are easy to use and practical to maintain.
Sometimes the window is left without curtains at all.
A bedspread on the bed will help keep the bed linen clean and fresh, give the room a stylish look, and emphasize the main idea of the design.
Decorative pillows can be a cute addition to make an ordinary room into a cozy place to relax.
Very often, such pillows play the role of a kind of bright spot, drawing attention to the bed and diluting the coldness of a monochromatic design.
A fluffy rug under your feet will gracefully decorate the room and give you comfort in the morning.
Design features in Provence style
French country style is done in cold, desaturated shades. This choice is justified by the location of the area where it originated. The south of France “delights” its residents with warmth and hot sun most of the year, so they built their houses from natural materials (wood, stone, clay, ceramics) and used light, cool shades for their decoration. This creates a comfortable, cool environment inside the room that relieves the heat.
Cool purple in Provence style
Light solid wood furniture is used for furnishing. Bedroom furniture in such spaces is often painted white or a muted light color. It is made of solid birch, ash, and other wood. Has carved legs. The wooden headboard and foot of the bed are decorated with plank milling or paneling.
There are also metal models with forged elements. The wardrobe, chest of drawers, preening table, rocking chair with a simple design and squatness combine harmoniously with each other.
The combination of all furniture in one style
Textiles are only natural
Notable for the Provence style is textiles made from natural fibers. Pillows of different sizes (from 2-5 pieces) with pillowcases made of thin woven lace and chintz with small floral patterns are laid out on the bed. The bedspread is made from scraps or natural fabric with a thick floral pattern.
Curtains for the bedroom are chosen from light textiles with dense floral patterns . They are decorated along the edge with a contrasting plain or lantern ruffle. For convenience, wide tiebacks are used on the sides, sewn from the same fabric as the ruffles.
A lot of pillows are inherent in this style
Light plastered walls and floors
The walls are covered with white plaster or light paint. Wallpaper is rarely used for decoration. If the dimensions allow, then the walls can be decorated with glazed brick masonry or plaster, and also create abrasions and decorative cracks there.
The floor can be tiled. In apartments of multi-storey buildings, it is worth using a heating system for this solution, so that the bedroom is more cozy and comfortable in the off-season. The style is characterized by white wooden doors and window frames.
Plaster on the walls, tiles on the floor
Decorative design
The decor of the bedroom depends on the chosen style. But one rule is present in every bedroom image: the bedroom should not become a busy room. It is better to move all kinds of vases, boxes, dolls, figurines and other cute things into the living room, where you can admire them for your own pleasure.
Often lamps, pillows, and living plants are used as decorative items.
Minimalism. A universal solution for small apartments
Minimalism is a fairly popular style. It is chosen by people who do not like excesses and do not accumulate things.
Comfortable and versatile minimalism
Minimalist interiors are laconic and modern in appearance. No unnecessary parts are used for their arrangement. All elements are distinguished by the absence of complex decor and functionality. They are not decorated with rich decoration, carvings, paintings or complex multi-color designs. In the interior there are monochromatic colors and colors that are in harmony with each other.
Cozy bedroom without decor
There is no one style. For a bedroom with a laconic, minimalist design, the base is chosen, and this can be:
- eastern (Japanese, Chinese);
- modern (high-tech, loft);
- traditional (classical, English, French) style.
The basis of the minimalist style is hi-tech
Bedroom minimalistic style
