How to Design a Cosy Bedroom?

Your bedroom is a uniquely personal space. The use of the bedroom has completely transformed over the past few years, thereby making the bedroom an extremely important and multifunctional space in most homes.

Pepper Sq teamed up with the talented designers at Topology Interiors to find out their thought on how to design a perfectly cosy bedroom, without compromising the bedroom’s initial function as a sleep sanctuary.

Key Elements of a Bedroom

The centrepiece of the room, the one that gave it its name, the bed is a very important item. Choosing one may be tricky as it all depends on the many factors like the space limitations and personal preferences. Most people usually go for a double bed or a king size, but if you have more room, an emperor bed or a super king size option would be perfect for those cosy family movie nights.

The bed frame is the key design element that not only provides comfort, but also expresses personality. For instance, the same soft upholstered material can convey absolutely different messages depending on the colour: dark navy will take you into a starry night painting, whereas a retro pink shade will add a positive touch of colour.

To top it up, choose the best quality bedding that is within your budget, and pile on the throws and cushions to make an eye-catching focal point.

Since the trend of the bedroom doubling as a home office or even a living room, consider adding a seating area to your bedroom with a comfortable armchair or a compact sofa. Add an elegant desk for those working from home days, and a side table to place your current book or a glass of wine in the evening. Add warm lighting with an ambient table lamp, and consider a gorgeous pendant ceiling light to perfectly complete the space by creating a calming and relaxing atmosphere. Keep the room cosy with a natural woolen rug and add a focal point with a stylish bedroom mirror.

Show your true colours

Your sleeping space should reflect your style and personality, so choose a colour scheme that you love. Unlike a spare room or children’s room, guests are unlikely to see your inner sanctum, so you can be as playful or as bold as you want.

You might want to go for drama with dark tones of burgundy and purple, or create a serene sanctuary with pale pastels and cream. Be creative with this, it is a space for you

Clear the clutter

Bedrooms can become a dumping ground for to-do piles: washing, ironing, cloths to get rid of, or paperwork that needs tackling. Because the bedroom is a room that no one else will see, unfinished tasks often stay just that – unfinished! Who wants the constant reminder in the sanctuary when you’re trying to sleep?

An easy solution to clear away clutter in the bedroom is to invest in storage the for bedroom that can help you keep the room streamlined and calm. A blanket box can hide a multitude of sins, as can a sideboard or a roomy wardrobe. Maybe even consider a ottoman storage bed which can help store fresh bedlinen and your seasonal wardrobe.

Storage furniture can help to find a place in your room for your possessions. A smart and elegant chest of drawers or tallboy may be exactly what you need to keep your bedroom in order.

A French chic style bedroom with Topology Interiors Studio

We have teamed up with Topology Interiors to find out how to design a perfectly romantic bedroom .  

The designers were inspired by their favourite European city that is paved with cobblestones and filled with the aromas of baked goods. It's the one and only - Paris!

The cosy french chic bedroom  is the second design in a three-part collaboration with Topology Interiors. If you missed the first project -  the living room interior -  Tranquil Moment ,  you can find about the project here.

Inspiration

The designers Charlie and Amelie wanted to convey a sense of tranquility and freshness with a chic French touch, opting for cleaner, simpler silhouettes and a calming colour scheme based on warm greys and neutrals, balanced out by some accent darker tones, like deep grey or green moss.

"Let’s imagine taking a walk down the cobbled streets of Paris and into one of the many enchanting quintessential 19th-century Haussmannian apartments (built between 1853 and 1870) to take a closer look at our blissful bedroom. A room that boasts high ceilings and a stunning view of the city." - Topology Interiors.

To add a three dimensional touch, the designers went for layered textures, such as linen boucle, velvet, marble and accent lighting to create a romantic ambiance in the evenings.

The curved shape furniture e.g the headboard, floor lamp, plant pot and end of bed bench helps to create the calming feel.  The furniture look comfortable and inviting.

The soft curved lines - latest interior trend -  in the form of a king size bed headboard  and the pendant lamp,  gave the room a sense of flow and continuity that guide you through the space.

The designers suggested a combination of neutral hues for the walls, bedding, and rug. "Paired with rich bold tones of moss green, charcoal grey, and mustard, plus a pop of deep petrol blue velvet curtains. "
