Bedroom Design Guide: Create Your Perfect Sleep Space
Color Psychology for Sleep
Cool blues, soft greens, and muted earth tones promote relaxation. Avoid bright reds and yellows near the bed. The ceiling color matters too — lighter than walls.
Lighting Control
Blackout curtains or blinds are non-negotiable. Layer with dimmable bedside lights, avoid overhead glare, and consider warm-tone smart bulbs for evening.
Bed Positioning
Place the bed so you can see the door without being directly in line with it. Allow equal space on both sides. The headboard wall should feel solid and grounding.
Storage Integration
Under-bed drawers, built-in wardrobes with internal organizers, and floating bedside shelves. Visible clutter destroys bedroom calm.
Best Styles for Bedrooms
Scandinavian (warm, calming), Japanese Zen (minimal, grounding), Coastal (breezy, relaxing), and French Country (romantic, cozy) all excel in bedrooms.
