Bedroom ideas for your new home

-

The bedroom is one place you don’t miss out in your house. Even when the day is in chaos you would still want to slump on to your bed and take a few seconds off from your schedules. Therefore it is a must to keep your bedroom as cosy as possible in order to make it a welcoming point in your house. Here are a few ideas for you: Fresh coral : Swap in new throws and pillows for a seasonal change. Or switch up the bedside table by adding a new piece of art. Beachy stripes : Use stripes in varying widths and shades to keep the traditiona­l red, white and blue palette feeling modern. Efficient furniture : Nestled between twin beds, a dresser offers storage and acts as a nightstand for both of a room’s residents. Add a pair of brass lamps for a unified look — and extra reading light. Seaside accents : Highlight your favourite piece with subdued surroundin­gs. Neutral walls, carpeting and bedding make the perfect backdrop for a master bedroom’s focal point: a big, bold seascape. Prints : In a pared-down palette, mixed prints look chic, not chaotic. Matching multiples : More really is better when it comes to filling up a boring, blank wall. Upholstere­d with crisp white linen, a traditiona­l bed frame feels fresh paired with a series of canvases. Cool and crisp : Update the classic blue-and-white combo with a tangy orange. Dramatic pendant lights also free up storage space on the bedside tables. Textured greys : Conjure your personal oasis with cool hues Burst of red : To keep the pale tones from fading away, add a singular hit of bold color: a tomato-red pillow that brings the lighter blues into sharp focus. Colourful quilts : Bedding does double-duty as art in a bedroom. On warmer nights, an old brass door pull showcases an antique quilt. Glam gallery : Why commit to one piece of art? For a one-of-akind look, group several paintings, photograph­s and prints of various sizes together. Span your collection floor-to-ceiling to give the space a lofty, art gallery feel.
