Not every bedroom will comfortably accommodate a king-size bed. Yes, a large bed seems like it would be a must in a luxury bedroom, but if the bed is too large for the room, it will just make the room feel cramped. A better idea would be to choose a slightly smaller-sized bed and put it in a corner, so it doesn’t dominate the room. Then you can carefully select other pieces of furniture to complement it. Create a reading or lounging corner and the bedroom will feel balanced and airy rather than over-filled.
I find that linen sheets like the ones from Larusi help give the bedroom a relaxed feeling. To rest your eyes before going to bed, it can be beneficial to light some candles like the ones from P. F. Candles – I personally love the whisky-scented one, which gives off a lovely, musky scent.
Without going down the ‘romantic’ route, have you ever contemplated having a large mirror leaning up against a wall in your bedroom? It can be a fantastic way to reflect light as well as be a beautiful decorative detail. I chose an antique mirror with original glass for this bedroom and it works wonders when you walk up the stairs and into the room, reflecting light coming in from the opposite window.
For those of you with perfectly imperfect hardwood flooring, it is great to have the heavenly touch of a Jennifer Manners rug, so when you wake, your feet hit the soft hand-knotted material. Colours in the room can be lively but shouldn’t stress you out.
A beautifully designed bedroom is one that gives you a sense of peace and calm, where the surroundings and furnishings give you joy and comfort. Essentially, the best luxury bedroom ideas for you, are the ones that create this feeling of sanctuary for you. The same combination of furniture, furnishings, colours, and fabrics, may not be the right choice for everybody.
Sometimes people have a feeling for what they would like but have a hard time articulating it. That’s where an interior designer comes in to help you translate these feelings into the reality of the perfect bedroom.
