Let’s Get Serious About Color
The colors you choose will have a significant impact on the overall ambiance of the space. Colors matter. Period. We recommend you choose light, calming colors like soft blues, greens, and grays. These colors are known for promoting relaxation and tranquility. The best colors are the ones that make you feel connected and calm.
And get testing! Get samples and paint small corners of the wall. Take your tie when choosing the best color for your bedroom because once you land on a color, you want it to feel just right.
Turn Down The Lights
Lighting plays an absolutely critical role in creating a cozy atmosphere. Aim for soft, warm lighting that casts a gentle glow in the room, using table lamps, floor lamps, or wall sconces. Dimmer switches are also a great option, allowing you to easily adjust the lighting to suit your mood.
You’ve heard people talk about mood lighting, well take it to the next level. Make your whole bedroom a mood. Use lamps with dimmers, smart lights, and even soft lamp shades to dampen the light and lighten the mood.
Don’t Forget Good Bedding
Nothing says “inviting” quite like a comfortable, well-made bed. A well made bed with quality sheets and pillows is the very definition of inviting. You can imagine it right now, can’t you?
We tell our clients to invest in high-quality bedding materials with a decent thread count for a luxurious feel. Layering is key when it comes to bedding. Absolutely key! So where do you being? Well, start with a fitted sheet, add a top sheet and a cozy duvet, and finish off with decorative pillows and throws. That should get you close to the mark and it doesn’t take much to get those layers perfected.
Get the bedding right, and you’ve taken care of the most crucial part of making an inviting bedroom.
