Bedroom

It is the end of the day, and you are pooped.

All you could think about, all day, was your bedroom and laying on your bed.  Well, you are here, and the kids are asleep, similar to when you’re crusising down the street in an all terrain stroller.  Now, you can relax!

Your bedroom can be your solace, your place to unwind, and your space to end off the day.  So, it makes sense that your bedroom should be kitted out in such a manner that aids that sanctuary which you so need.

When it comes to choosing beds, linen, curtains, carpets, and décor, we all have our own ideas.  When it comes to partners choosing together, you may find a little bun fight gets underway.  We are all so very different.  Here at Homewares Insider, we don’t claim to know everything about relationships, and believe me, we are not here to counsel.  But, when it comes to everything bedroom related, we like to think we know a thing or two.

A bedroom color should be a mix between soft and comforting.  Low hues are best.  Your blues, your browns, your whites and even your soft yellows.  This way, you can appeal to multiple preferences.

Start with your lighting.  Where does the light enter the room?  Is it directly on the bed?  If so, consider heavier curtains, for those lovely sleep-in mornings.  Do you want a television in the room?  Well, then look at the layout and make sure you can see the television from the bed.

Beds are always a contentious issue.  What size? What thickness of mattress?  How firm?  What thread count for the bedding, and so on.  Start with the size, which is mostly reliant on your bedroom space available.  If pricing is an issue, and you want to start out small, then look to the future when you will be able to afford that King size.

Accessories are a debatable topic as well.  Do we get scatter cushions or are they just a pain to remove and put back on?  Do we go with reading lights or a soft glow for ambiance?  What artwork will we put up – modern or classic?

So many decisions to make, but those decision can be easy when you glance through to our bedroom blogs.
