9 Simple Ways to Create Your Perfect Bedroom

Follow these tips to design a calm, relaxing sleep space where you can escape from the chaos of the day

Need a bedroom in which you can relax and get a good night's sleep? By considering these nine essential elements, you can turn your sleep space into an indulgent, cosy and serene sanctuary.

Pay attention to your bed and bedding
It's the most important element in any bedroom, but many of us have an uncomfortable bed. It's worth investing in a good base and mattress to help you sleep well. Before buying your mattress, make sure you try out plenty in-store to get the right one for you.

The indulgent extras also make a big difference, so choose soft bedding, too. For real comfort, you could splash out on Egyptian cotton with a minimum 400 thread count.

Indulge in a luxurious headboard
An attractive headboard will really make a statement in your bedroom and transform the space. It will also make your bed a much more comfortable place to be.

When choosing a headboard, think about the size of your room and the height of the ceiling to get the proportions right. If you have a really high ceiling, you can afford to scale the headboard accordingly to create a real impact.

Consider bedside lighting
In most bedrooms, space is at a premium. Bedside tables don't necessarily have room for large lamps, books, flowers and other bits and pieces. To free up space, go for wall or pendant lights next to your bed. If you aren't in the process of a major renovation, pendants might be easier to install.

With more space on your bedside surface, you might have room for a few indulgent bits and pieces, such as fresh flowers.

Create a seating area
If you have the room, make your bedroom somewhere cosy to hang out by having a seating area. A couple of armchairs like these will give you the opportunity to share your bedroom space with close friends, or provide a place to escape to for a quiet read.

Use paint colour to set the mood
Your bedroom is somewhere you can be a bit braver with your colour choice, as it's not a room everyone will see. If you want to go crazy with dramatic purples or blacks, then go for it.

Alternatively, keep the space serene with a more neutral colour palette. Pale to mid greys work well in the bedroom, as they help calm the mind and set you up for a perfect night's sleep.

Control the natural light
When it comes to dressing your windows, the bedroom is one of the most important rooms to get right. Not only should the window treatment look beautiful and complement your scheme, it must also work effectively to keep out light.

Whether you opt for shutters, blinds or curtains (or a combination) make sure the lining is thick enough to block any street light or early morning sun.

Choose furnishings that add character
Another great way to set the mood in your bedroom is through the furniture and furnishings you choose. Here, the designers have gone for a white backdrop, which creates a fresh, clean feel.

By adding a pretty, French-style metal bed frame, a decorative chandelier and beautiful antique mirrored bedside tables, it's been given a subtle boudoir look.

Select flooring c arefully
For many of us, bedrooms are all about comfort and indulgence, so you might want to choose a luxurious, soft carpet for the flooring. We're often bare-footed in the bedroom, so it's nice to have something soft and warm to stand on when you get out of bed on a cold winter morning.

If you love the look of bare floorboards, choose a soft rug and place it where you're most likely to stand.

Add texture with accessories
Use texture and accessories to finish off your perfect bedroom. Cushions, throws and decorative items will add layers of interest to the room. Wallpaper behind the bed can also be a good way to add texture. Remember to choose fabrics and materials you love, as the bedroom should be your own personal sanctuary.
