Your Master Bedroom... The Right Vibe

Welcome Back Blog Readers,

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, so today’s blog post is about having the right vibe in your bedroom. By this we mean specifically, how to create the best bedroom design mood. As we all know, folks, with this winter being a rough one, we’ve all woken up on the wrong side of the bed. Bedroom design can impact the quality of your sleep and can help you start the day off right.

A lot of my clients ask me for bright colors and bold prints in their wall coverings and fabrics. It might be exhilarating, but if you want a calm atmosphere and better sleep quality, restful colors are soft neutrals, such as: pastels, taupe, light grays, gray-greens, gray-blues, and the like. By restful fabrics, stick with patterns of the same colors, even if it is a large print. For bedding, it is most important to always purchase the highest thread count possible. Quality for your sheets is of the utmost importance! When choosing a down comforter, make sure it is feather down as it is lightweight and the best choice for sound sleep.

Next to better sleep, my suggestion is to always keep your bedroom clean. And folks, you know who you are. If there is a pile of laundry in the corner or a stack of papers on a chair for work or your laptop left wide open, your mind will always focus on the work you have to do, and you will not be able to unwind. That is why I always suggest a home office separate from your bedroom. I never answer an email or bring my design work into my bedroom.

So, folks, if you try these simple design tips, you might just fall in love with your bedroom, and for some, maybe just in time for Valentine’s Day!

And as I always say, “Don’t be afraid to decorate!”

Best Always,

Robin
