Life is full of ups and downs, and your bedroom is a place where you can find solace. A bedroom is a haven against the chaos we endure each day. Bedrooms are our happy place. And thus, choosing your bedroom furniture and decor becomes a vital task. The bedroom lighting design, beds, colour shades, extra furniture, and the entire aura of your bedroom should be decided while choosing the right bedroom decor.

The bedroom lighting should usually have ambient fixtures, multi-task lighting, and, most importantly, dimming controls. The mellow and dim nature of your bedroom lights helps you read, set up a light mood, and help you sleep properly. While pendants and table lamps are essential in your bedroom, choosing the furniture and décor to go with your bedroom, the lighting might be an uphill ride. You have to select the ambience and mood of your bedroom that go with your bedroom lighting design. Therefore, these five tips from Ellementry will load off your worries while choosing your bedroom décor and furniture.

Subtle Colours

The colour in your bedroom makes the aura inside it. You should choose the colours that soothe and give a sensation of relaxation. You may avoid selecting primary colours that are bold and bright as it usually does not compliment the thought of calm and peace. As per the colour theory, choose blue, lavender, or green shades that bring serenity and calmness. Hues of toasty brown, deep pomegranate and topaz also are available options. These vibrant jewel-tone shades bring the feeling of comfort and cosiness inside the room. If you want to go with your favourite colour, you can go ahead with their lighter versions. For instance, your favourite is wine or mulberry, you can go with lilac or orchid, or if you like orange or rust, you can go with squash or tangerine. Your bedroom lights might always be dimmer or mellow, and the colour of the bedroom should complement these lights. Thus, choosing a light tone is the best way to go ahead.

Dreamy Ceiling

If we count the amount of time you will spend in your bedroom; the ceiling is where you will stare the most. While lying on the bed, you would not want to stare at a bland surface, and therefore it should be painted with dreamy colour. You can go with a lighter shade of the wall colour to make it visually comforting. The dim glow in your ceiling will give you a space of cosiness. You can also paint the ceiling with spacious elements such as stars and moon to give the feel of a starry night in your bedroom. You can choose a chandelier or lamps on the ceiling above the bed to add the extra texture. Although simplicity is the key in décor, combining elements in your ceiling can give a royal look to your bedroom.
