While it’s true that the term “a woman’s touch” is a little outdated or even sexist at this point – as if men and women can’t both be good or bad at interior design – we still understand what that means. A home that has nice trimmings, is cohesive, and is designed for utility and comfort could be defined this way.
Perhaps you have a drab bedroom and you’re dying out for this kind of touch. But what if you don’t have access to someone with such interior design skills? What small improvements could you make to rejuvenate a drably designed bedroom? What if you want to do that within a certain budget? Are there certain measures to hit straight off and benefit from?
We believe there are a few opportunities to have maximum impact. Let’s discuss what those could be:
Find Great Bedside Tables
A bedside table might not seem glamorous, but you’d be surprised just how much utility and comfort they can add to a bedroom. They can also look wonderful if they’ve been designed with flair such as a glass bedside table. You have a secure place for any jewelry, a mug of tea, your phone and more.
You don’t even need to buy brand-new pieces if you’re on a budget. Thrift stores, online marketplaces, or even DIY options can all be worthwhile to spend time in. We’d recommend going for the best you can afford right now and maintaining them over time.
Add Soft, Calming Lighting
Overhead lights can be harsh in a bedroom, so adding softer lighting options, like lamps or fairy lights, can instantly make a bedroom feel a little more magical, and a rest away from the reality of daily living.
Warm, soft lighting helps you see where you’re going but without straining your eyes if you’re reading or making the space look dingy. Net curtains or blinds can also allow you to let in natural lighting during the day but without giving up your privacy, which is important if you have sight lines into your bedroom, and especially if you have a ground floor bedroom.
Use Natural, But Warm Tones
The best part about designing a bedroom is that because this is a place for comforts and whatever relaxes you, you don’t need to perfect the color scheme. In fact, making it more of a blanker canvas for any kind of bedding color or trimmings you want can be nice. For that reason, designing the wider space with neutral warm tones can be more than enough. This might be off-white or beige wall paint, simple clean carpets, soft white or warm lighting, and tones that help add some depth. This way, if you want a feature wall, a bookshelf filled with random books, or to enjoy wacky sofa trimmings it’ll be fine, and you won’t make the space look too busy.
With this advice, you’ll be certain to rejuvenate a drably designed bedroom for the better and even make it look like a new space entirely.
