Bedroom design can be functional or decorative.
With more time being spent in the home than ever before, more attention is being paid to the way a home is designed and decorated. And while a bedroom may not be at the top of the list when it comes to redesigning the home, renovating a bedroom can bring more restful sleep and a nicer environment in which to wake up. So whether you want your bedroom to be a haven from the stresses of the day or a personal space that reflects your personality, learning about interior design can help.
Function
Interior design is a method of creating a cohesive design theme within a room or an entire home to tie in decoration, furnishings and accessories. Interior design within the bedroom would involve producing a design scheme to tie in wall colorings, flooring, bedroom furniture, bedding, decorative accessories, lighting, window treatments and even an en-suite bathroom.
Foundation
The basis for deciding decorate a bedroom will come from how it is used and the lifestyle it is meant to reflect. For example, if the room is for two people, then there will usually be two bedside cabinets, two lamps, two closets and a double bed. If there are pets or young children in the household, furnishings and rugs that are darker in color, stain resistant or patterned to disguise stains are a more suitable option. Wall coverings will need to be cleanable. If a bedroom doubles as a study or living room, these things will also need to be considered.
Creation
Professional interior designers can be employed to create design schemes for bedrooms and, after a discussion of your tastes and uses for your room, will come up with a scheme they feel suits your personality and lifestyle. This will usually involve the creation of a mood board of clippings of fabric, paint swatches and images of furniture they would like to use. DIY bedroom design is also a possibility and can involve as little effort as choosing a color and shopping for bedroom items to match with it or as much effort as researching design themes and deciding which parts can be utilized in your room.
Themes
There are many themes or design schemes for bedrooms and these include simply coordinating the colors of furniture and fittings within a room or using a particular pattern in soft furnishings as a starting point and tying the rest of the room's decor in with this. Historical themes are also popular and involve designing a room with a certain time in history in mind such as colonial or Victorian. Certain countries also provide inspiration for design, like French or English country-style or modern Italian style. Other design schemes include shabby chic, contemporary and country cottage.
Time Frame
The most time-consuming part of creating an interior design scheme for a bedroom is the actual research and decision making about decor. Once the decision has been made about which color scheme or design theme a bedroom should have, the work to transform it can be completed in a relatively short time frame. It can take as little as a day if adding superficial changes such as new furniture or accessories, a weekend if painting and adding new flooring or longer if structural changes are required.
