When designing a bedroom, you’ll want to consider how various elements of the room work together to create a true sanctuary where you can unwind and enjoy nights of blissful sleep.

To help you bring your dream bedroom to life, here are the six key elements that we recommend you consider to achieve the best results:

1. Your bed is king

Your bed will be the most prominent feature in your bedroom and, as such, it’s important that you focus attention on the bed as a jumping off point.

It’s not just about how big your bed is, you also need to consider the position of your bed and the level of comfort that it will give you:

• Choose an appropriate size bed for the amount of space available

• Position your bed where you can easily access it (from both sides if possible)

• Invest in a good mattress that you can sleep comfortably on

• Choose a bed frame that suits the style of the rest of the room

• Having beautiful, soft bedding is as important and impactful as the bed itself – you might also want to add a blanket for extra lushness

2. Choose a calming colour palette

Colours are important in any room, but particularly in your bedroom.

You want to choose a colour and shade that gives a calming energy to the room – opt for soft neutral tones, such as whites, greys or pale blues.

3. Focus on lovely lighting

With bespoke fitted bedrooms you can choose integrated lighting that will seamlessly provide you with lighting that is both functional and creates a stylish mood for the room.

Soft, dimmable lighting is ideal for creating a calm and relaxing environment and can be integrated, such as spot lights and plinth lighting. It’s also important to include lamps and reading lights to ensure that you have enough lighting where you need it.

4. Streamline with storage

The key to maintaining a clam and stress-free bedroom is to minimise clutter. And the best way to do that is to have lots of integrated storage in your bespoke fitted bedroom units, so that everything has its place.

There are plenty of clever bespoke bedroom storage solutions, from sliding doors and smart shelving to hidden drawers and under bed compartments.

Maximising storage will help you keep your bedroom in order and simultaneously make use of every inch of space in the room.

5. Make the most of your windows

Windows give you the gift of natural light, but it’s important to think about your windows in at night to create a warm and cosy feel at bedtime. You might want to opt for heavy curtains that have a blackout lining to help the room stay dark.

You can also dress you windows with blinds or shutters to add charm and give you more options for controlling the amount of light in the room.

6. Finishing touches for ultimate relaxation

Embrace complete relaxation in your bedroom by incorporating a sound system that can play soothing music. And make your bedroom a phone-free zone to completely disconnect and unwind.

It also helps to have a smart thermostat in the room so that you can control the temperature of the room to be just right.

When you’re working with a small bedroom, it’s important that you think about how you use the room. You want to make sure you’re using every inch of space as best you can.

Whether you have a tiny box room or a low-ceiling loft room, creating an effective layout is important to ensure that you can enjoy the bedroom to its full potential. And there are some clever tricks to help you make the room feel bigger.

1. Choose furniture that fits

You might want a king size bed but in a small bedroom settling for a small double could make all the difference. Make sure you consider how much space you have to play with and only put in furniture that fits.

That triple wardrobe you’ve been eying up might have to be swapped for a double if you have a small bedroom with limited space.

2. Avoid cluttering the room

When dealing with a small bedroom layout, you need to make sure that all furniture you put in has purpose – sadly you don’t have space to add lots of decorative pieces.

One key tip is to avoid having furniture on all sides of the bedroom – keeping some space clear will allow you to feel like you can breathe and will make the room appear bigger.

3. Don’t underestimate under your bed

The space under your bed can provide much needed storage that’s out of site and won’t take up additional floor space.

Drawers or sliding storage compartments can offer an accessible and space-saving solution for small bedrooms.

4. Enlist the magic of mirrors

Mirrors are magical creations that enhance the light in a room and also create an instant feeling of space.

Use mirrors to cleverly style your small bedroom and if you can install them up to ceiling height you’ll maximise the illusion of space that they can create.

5. Create space using symmetry

The wonderful thing about symmetry is that it has a calming effect in the room and will create balance that helps the bedroom space breathe.

Symmetry also gives a feeling of space so you can trick your mind into thinking your small bedroom is bigger than it really is by arranging furniture and decorative items in a symmetrical way.
