What’s Trending Now: Dramatic Beds
Some trends in home décor seem destined for a short life, while others are made to last. The growing trend toward dramatic beds clearly belongs in the latter category.
After all, a new bed is a serious investment in terms of both time and money. Shopping for a new bed frame or more comfortable mattress is a time-consuming and costly experience and not something most people are anxious to repeat.
So, as the trend toward more dramatic sleeping spaces continues, it is important to think carefully before taking the plunge. Once your beautiful new bed is in place, you will wonder how you ever slept without it, and here are some tips to get you started.
Create a Visual Flow
That dramatic new bed may be the centerpiece of your bedroom, but it is not the only piece of furniture. If you want to create a beautiful and dramatic new bedroom, start by thinking in terms of flow.
Creating a visual flow can be as simple as rearranging a few small pieces of furniture, or as complicated as relocating the bed itself. You may want to map things out in your head, or on a piece of paper, first to minimize the amount of furniture moving you need to do.
Vary Your Lighting
Good lighting is important in every room of your home, but the lighting needs of the bedroom are a bit different. Just think about the many things you do in the bedroom, from getting dressed and ready for work in the morning to exercising and relaxing at night to watching TV and engaging in romantic activities with your spouse or partner.
Each of those bedroom activities demands a different type of mood lighting, and varying your lighting solutions is a key part of building a more dramatic sleeping space. Think about adding task lighting to your beautiful new bed, perhaps in the form of a reading lamp on the bedside table or a tiny light on the headboard. For a touch of romance, putting the main lights on dimmer switches is a great touch, as is incorporating candles throughout the room.
Add a Warm Rug
Hardwood floors are beautiful and durable, but they are not always dramatic or romantic. If you want to ramp up the romance and create a space worthy of your dramatic new bed, you need to look beyond those bare hardwood floors.
A warm rug will add beauty and drama to your bedroom, and a warm place for your feet to land. Just place that wonderfully warm rug next to your dramatic new bed and take your home décor to a whole other level.
Make it Feel Cozy
The trend toward more dramatic beds and more unique sleeping spaces is clearly here to stay. As people spend more and more time indoors and seek deeper connections with their loved ones, the bedroom is becoming a real point of focus.
Whether you are new to the dramatic trend in bedroom décor or have been on the bandwagon for years, the space you create should still feel cozy. After all, you will be spending a third of your life here, so you want the space to be warm, welcoming, cozy and romantic.
The bedroom is one of the most important rooms in any home, and the bed is the focal point of that space. As beds get more dramatic, the space around them should follow suit. The tips listed above can help you design the perfect bedroom; a space worthy of your great new bed.
