A New Year brings a chance to refresh the décor all around the house. If you’re planning a bedroom renovation, then you’ll face an interesting set of challenges – but there are also plenty of good reasons to consider it. Having to look at the same bedroom for years on end can be fatiguing in the worst way – eventually, you might find it a little bit of a downer.
If you’re stuck for inspiration, then why not consider some of the designs that are sure to make an impact in the year to come?
Lavender hues
Purple is a bold choice in the bedroom. But something a tad more muted, like lavender, can offer many of the same qualities, without being quite so demanding on the eye. You can accent lavender walls with bolder shades of purple in the curtains and upholstery. The bolder the shade, the greater the degree to which the eye will be drawn to it.
Purples also tend to match nicely with a range of colours, but green is a natural choice. You might throw in a few potted houseplants, which will help to freshen up the space and put you in the right mood when you get up in the morning.
Quiet luxury
Luxury, in 2024, comes in two varieties. There’s the loud, garish sort that draws attention to itself. And then there’s the quiet sort that’s a bit more reserved.
The term ‘quiet luxury’ comes from the world of fashion. It’s used to describe a trend toward timeless, minimalist items that aren’t remotely ‘blingy’. By design, it will usually fly well under the radar of most people – but you’ll still get that appreciable sense of quality.
So, how do we apply these principles to the bedroom? First, we’ll buy only a select few decorative items, and keep shelves clean and clutter-free. Your budget will be concentrated on those few items you choose.
Bespoke pieces
On a related note, we should dwell on the role played by custom-made furniture in achieving the quiet luxury look. A fitted wardrobe, bookshelf, or cabinet that’s been crafted especially for the space is always going to look magnificent. What’s more, it will make the best possible use of every square inch, which will help to free up space elsewhere in the home.
Window seats
As well as a place for sleeping, the bedroom can also be a place for quiet reflection. You might have seen the main character in a romcom spend a few wistful moments contemplating the passing traffic with a warm beverage.
Make a space purpose-built for this activity, and you could reclaim some valuable headspace, and make your bedroom fit for the new year!
