Bedroom Guide: Window Treatments and More

The bedroom is a place meant to be a personal retreat, an ultimate room for relaxation, reprise, and, of course, sleep. Your bedroom is supposed to help you relax and unwind, and that requires some careful selections: the right bedding, the right feng shui of your furniture, and the right window treatments. This guide will walk you through creating a cohesive bedroom style with a focus on lighting, color, furniture, and the right window treatments to tie it all together.

Interior Design for Bedrooms: Understanding Color and Texture

Color and texture help to set the tone for any room, and your bedroom is no exception. Two common color palettes for the bedroom are soothing shades like blues, warm grays, and off-white. Another soothing color palette for your bedroom is earth tones: olive or emerald green, beiges, and browns. Both of these color palettes accomplish a soothing sensation while offering your room some eye-catching hues.

The next step is adding texture. This can be as simple as adding a soft rug if you have hard floors, layering different fabrics in your bedding set-up, or even adding textured throw pillows. Incorporating diverse textures like wood furniture with linen bedding and lush curtains can create a balanced, cohesive look in your bedroom. If you need help with texture, The Shade Shop can help you design custom bedding and custom drapery.

Invest in Stylish and Functional Bedroom Furniture

Choosing the right furniture is paramount to creating a cohesive bedroom look. The key is to select pieces that reflect your style while providing ample storage. For example, a bedframe with built-in storage, like drawers below the bed or side tables with cabinets, can help keep your bedroom clean and clutter-free.

If you like to read the newspaper in the morning or read a book before bed, adding a cozy armchair or bench near your bed can add both functionality and create a more sophisticated bedroom look.

Accentuate Natural Light

Lighting in your bedroom is of the utmost importance. Whether you prefer a natural circadian rhythm for sleeping/waking up or you have a unique sleep schedule, utilizing the right lighting solutions is crucial to creating a cozy sleep setting. Consider options like bedside lamps, overhead lighting, and accent lighting so you have different options for different times of the day. We always recommend dimmable lights so that you can adjust lighting when it’s time to wind down for the night.

Choosing Bedroom Window Treatments

One of the most impactful ways to enhance style, functionality, and complete light control is bedroom window treatments. Luckily, The Shade Shop team is well-versed in selecting the perfect window treatments for light control and to match your bedroom aesthetic.
