There are countless small choices to make when it comes to bedroom design, and each one of these decisions matters if you want to cultivate a pleasing, well-balanced aesthetic.
Have you been spending hours trying to style the perfect room, but for some reason, it just doesn’t look right no matter what you do?
Interior designers can walk into a bedroom and immediately point out what needs fixing. However, to the untrained eye, it can be hard to distinguish the problem.
The tiniest errors, such as lighting or a misplaced piece of furniture, can contribute to the issue. Once adjusted, the look and feel of your room will undergo a vast improvement. Sometimes, the changes can really be that simple.
Here are some of the most common bedroom decor mistakes that professionals can spot right away. Avoid doing these things if you want a bedroom you can be proud to sleep in.
Ignoring The Lighting
Lighting can make all the difference in any space. In the bedroom, lighting is especially important because the goal is to create a calm, relaxing atmosphere.
Bad lighting can cause your room to appear dreary and uninviting. A bare bedroom ceiling is boring and sad. You should be playing around with lighting! Have some fun with it.
Statement chandeliers are becoming increasingly popular, adding a luxurious vibe and illuminating the entire room, while pendant lights hanging over bedside tables are a classic choice that combines style with function. Whatever fixtures you choose to install, make sure they produce soft, warm lighting to set the mood.
