Everyone definitely has different tastes and they would love to decorate their rooms in their own way. But this is not about what kind of decor you should have, it’s about identifying the bedroom essentials you absolutely need and these are things that you can easily tailor to your own style. Your bedroom is probably the most important room in your house as it is where you sleep and rest, which is at the center of your health, attitude and well being.
The key to these bedroom essentials is that they will serve to make you comfortable and at the same time utilize all the space you have available in your bedroom to the max. Most people don’t like having crowded bedrooms as it can look cluttered and messy. On the other hand an uncomfortable one can severely affect your resting experience, which can lead to you feeling less eager to rest in it. Here are the elements that you should be keeping in mind.
1. Blankets
The amount of warmth and comfort you get in bed is largely attributed to the doona quilt covers that you sleep under. Make sure to get two sets for yourself, one for colder seasons and the other for warmer seasons with corresponding cooler or warmer colors. Everyone has one, but what matters most is that you pick the right material and texture for you. Softer, thicker options include cotton while lighter options are usually silk.
2. Pillows
Not everyone would like the same pillow, everyone has different tastes depending on the thickness and softness that they like. Make sure to a set of pillows online or instore that suits your head and neck. This means pillows that don’t feel too stiff or make your neck shift awkwardly to the point it will feel strained.
3. Wall Decor
Tie the whole look of your bedroom together with a centerpiece, this can definitely be a type of wall decor. This could be a picture, a painting, a hanging mural or even a different wallpaper compared to your other walls. This is completely up to you and will definitely be the symbol of your personality in this space.
4. Scent
You can definitely upgrade your room’s atmosphere by installing a scent that you love (or is your favorite) within your bedroom. There are so many ways to do so! Aside from traditional sprays, you can also opt for incense sticks for more exotic, woody smells or diffusers for more gentle, light scents. If you want a gentle yet a strong scent an oil burner with tea lights is the best option, but just make sure to put that into a safe area where there will be no risk of it being shoved onto the floor.
5. Shelving/Storage
Before you buy the first somewhat nice shelf that you see, think about how much space it would take and how it would contribute to your bedroom’s overall style. If you have little space to spare, you might want to invest in wall-mounted shelves at certain levels or spots. As for other pieces of furniture, can the storage drawer or chest you’re picking also be used as a table or a decor spot?
You will know you’ve done the right thing once you feel you have enough breathing space in your room and entering it feels like looking at a mirror. It is just so you.
