The bedroom has morphed into a lot more than just a place to sleep and for many adults, the bedroom is a space where you can relax and enjoy your favourite TV shows. Single professionals often share living space and in such a setting, it is nice to have your own space where you can let your hair down and be yourself.
Table and chair
Under the window is the perfect place to put a table/desk with a comfortable office chair; this is a space where you can work and relax. A small LED table lamp for task lighting and let’s not forget a flat-screen TV attached to the wall. Bluetooth connectivity allows you to link up with your laptop, so you can watch live sports or Netflix and when you are ready to drift off to sleep, move to the bed. Bluetooth speakers bring you surround sound for the ultimate movie-viewing experience. There’s nothing better than watching an epic movie when it’s raining. You could create a small workstation, which is a great idea if you work remotely; install a wireless router and enjoy wireless connectivity.
Wall art
You can find affordable framed art from an online poster and prints supplier; large expanses of bare wall can make a room look cold. There are many types of wall art, so choose something that works in your setting and fill those blank expanses of walls with colourful artwork.
New bedding
Order a quilt cover, pillowcases and double bed mattress topper to make the bed a central feature; this will improve your quality of sleep as well as adding visual appeal. The best place to shop for bedding is online, where prices are on average 15-20% cheaper than regular retail outlets; shop at your own pace and delivery is usually free.
Wallpaper
The latest generation of wallpaper is well worth checking out; they have natural grass wallpaper that adds a natural touch to any room. How about a landscape vista or a nighttime New York skyline? Wall stickers can be made to any size and the only thing that limits you is your imagination. You can create your own art with Photoshop and take the file to the shop and they will print a large wall sticker. Paper a single wall for a slightly unusual look and with the right lighting, you have a cool ambience.
Fitted wardrobes
Every master bedroom should have fitted wardrobes; contact a local joiner and he can draw up plans, you choose the timber and design and such a project would boost the value of your home. Of course, if you are handy with your hands and you have the tools, you can save a fortune with a DIY project. There are lots of free resources online to help you plan the project and you can order the timber from a local merchant, along with fixtures and fittings. You would be surprised at how much space you reclaim when you remove that bulky wardrobe set, plus you have storage space for everything. Full mirror tiles on the doors complete the look.
Deep pile rugs
A couple of top-quality Aussie wool rugs add a touch of luxury to any boudoir; one either side of the bed gives you a soft walking experience that enhances the overall look. Cream is an excellent colour for floor rugs, or a medium shade of brown; indeed, any neutral colour works with bedroom rugs.
Bespoke blinds
The perfect window screening, ask a local blinds supplier to pay you a visit and measure up the bedroom windows; styles include Roman, Venetian, vertical, roller and pleated blinds, ideal for blacking out the windows to watch an epic movie. Why not do the entire house for a smooth screening solution? Matching blinds are a great asset to any home, with smooth tracking systems for the ultimate shading solution.
Elegant dresser
Complete with mirror, an elegant dresser is a must for a master bedroom; search online for a top Australian bedroom furniture supplier, where you will find the best furniture at affordable prices. A matching chair is a must and with some LED strips around the mirror, you have the perfect Hollywood make-up station. A large bedroom can accommodate a full-length mirror if you don’t already have one.
If your budget stretches to fitted carpet, even better, there is nothing like it for a barefoot walking experience. Use your imagination and there’s no limit to what you can do with any room; start with a floor plan on A3 paper and create a to-scale layout, which is how interior designers do it.
