How do I plan a new bedroom design?

The bedroom photos on Houzz are a great place to start. Use them as a source of inspiration, and save your favourites to an ideabook. Remember that you can share your ideabooks with everyone involved in your home project for easy collaboration! Collating images of your favourite bedroom designs – you can do this for general layouts, and for more specific features like a bed, chest of drawers or bedside table – will also help your renovation contractor determine what you want to achieve.

How do I determine the best layout?

Your bed is the biggest and most important feature in your bedroom, so it’s important you give its placement careful consideration. For good bedroom feng shui, ensure you can easily access the bed from both sides, and position it diagonally to the entrance of the room, not directly in front of it. You can then build on your bedroom design with other furniture staples such as bedside tables. Cluster any clothes storage, such as your wardrobe and chest of drawers, and your vanity or workstation together, to encourage a harmonious flow. Symmetry is also important in bedroom feng shui, so ensure the bed is supported on both sides – one bedside table, for instance, will put the room out of balance.

How do I pick colours and decor?

Colour schemes are usually a personal choice, but there are some colours that are more suited to the bedroom than others. Studies have found, for example, that blue has a calming effect, which is ideal for a sleeping spot; whereas bright colours have the potential to keep you up at night. When it comes to wall decor, the safest option is to go neutral. You can then dress it up with artwork, photographs, mirrors and decals. Your bedding and decorative pillows and throws can further add to the personality of your room. Sumptuous bed linen is one of life’s greatest luxuries, so cocoon yourself in quality fabrics for guaranteed comfort.
