Rearranging your bedroom can be a fun, but daunting experience.
It might make you wonder whether it’s worth taking on the project at all.
According to all the experts I spoke to, the most important part of any home is the bedroom.
The aim here is to make the bed a focal point of the room."
Owens, speaking withApartment Therapy, recommended mapping out the entire bedroom before moving around any other furniture.
“One less large piece of furniture in the room really helps.”
Another approach is to try out arranging different furniture configurations to see what works best.
“Don’t be afraid to experiment when deciding where the bedroom furniture goes.”
Additionally, McMillan recommended waiting to finalize your space until after you’ve tried different furniture configurations.
So, feel free to run through different ideas!
“Giving the space visual balance calms the mind and makes the room much more comfortable and livable.”
It gives great symmetry and opens up the space."
Shelving from Ikea can also be a boon, notesAna Zuravliova, an interior stylist in the UK.
However, she noted, “Keeping everything in the same color palette doesn’t mean boring!”
All of these shades are trending at the moment."
“Texture helps to transform light and adds dimension to a space.
Softer, fuzzier materials such as shag are also great.”
Chiu told me, “A poorly lit room comes across as unpleasant and not inviting.
As Chiu explained, “I also love metallic since it is a popular trend right now.
The right amount of metallics in a brass or copper finish can warm up a room.”
He noted, “Plants have a calming effect through their soothing green colors and by providing oxygen.”
I now fill my rooms with things that energize and delight me.
That seems straightforward enough, but how can a person go about actually doing that while arranging their bedroom?
Adding to which, Brophy noted, “Everything has energy, even inanimate objects.
Feng shui helps guide that energy and let it flow freely throughout your home.”
As Brophy explained, “a mix of shapes is important.
Squares represent earth; rectangles, wood; triangles, fire.
Round and oval items represent metal.
[A room] will feel most balanced if it includes all of them.”
“If you need privacy, consider wooden blinds, which add a cozy feel.”
