Thinking of redesigning your bedroom together? If so, you should get ready to be creative – and patient! Designing a bedroom for two requires sensitivity to the personality and preferences of both partners, all while maintaining functionality and comfort.
With some careful planning and attention, you’ll bring the perfect vision to life. We’ve shared some of our expertise below to help you create a shared bedroom space.
Balancing personal preferences
Firstly, learning how to compromise is an integral part of the process. Your bedroom should be a place that honours both of your individual styles, allowing them to merge in a cohesive and thoughtful design.
Luckily, it’s easy and often enjoyable to brainstorm key elements together. These could include furniture styles, bedding and colour schemes, and decorative elements. With a few ideas combined and shared, you can create a space that reflects both personalities!
During the creative process, using mood boards or other online design tools like augmented reality shopping. Using the camera on your phone, this technology can show you how a product will look in the room.
Maximising space efficiency
Even if your bedroom is spacious, it’s worth finding out the most effective ways to make the most of the space you have.
The layout of the space should optimise quick movement and easy access to all your favourite outfits. You might benefit from choosing multifunctional furniture, ottoman chairs or under-bed storage. We also recommend making the most of vertical space by adding shelves, mirrors, and decorative features. Trendy and streamlined, efficient storage solutions like fitted wardrobes simultaneously facilitate organisation and maximise floor space. They can also be personalised to suit the layout and style of the room.
Creating a tranquil atmosphere
The bedroom should be a place for calm and relaxation. Keeping things tidy, clean and organised makes an important contribution to your sleep hygiene: in effect, creating a lovely bedroom will improve your overall sleep quality!
The layout and design are equally important. You should try to choose warm colour palettes, use soft ambient lighting, and incorporate calming blackout curtains or soundproofing materials to enhance the tranquillity.
Clutter-free spaces keep stress levels at bay and help us to feel mindful and motivated. Finding the discipline to tidy clothes every day might be tricky, but this is where fitted furniture solutions come in handy.
Considering the budget
Finally, you’ll need to stick to a budget to keep things as stress-free as possible. If you have very different tastes in home design, it’s worth making sure that you’ve reached a compromise before you start the project.
Making changes or adding decorative elements last-minute is guaranteed to ramp up costs. The best things to splurge on are those that you’ll appreciate for the longest, like a high-quality mattress and bed frame. Remember that committing to higher costs upfront might mean better value long-term.
Conclusion
With an honest and patient approach, designing a bedroom can be a collaborative and enjoyable process for a couple. While the intermediate stages might feel difficult, the benefits of creating a space that’s both functional and personal will last for many happy years to come.
