If you haven’t updated your bedroom in a while, it might be time to consider making some changes. That way, you can have the kind of bedroom you’ve always wanted, with a fresh, clean look. It’s generally a good thing to re-do your style from time to time, and if you’re feeling uninspired in your home, making some changes to your bedroom can really help you feel better about everything. There are a number of modern bedroom ideas you might want to consider, which can help you choose the ones that work best in your space. The size of the room, the overall layout, and the colors, patterns, and textures you like are all important and should be a part of your plan. Here are five insider tips to help give you a modern bedroom that’s ahead of the trends.
1). How well do patterned fabrics work?
Patterned fabrics may have been out for a while, but they’re making a serious comeback with trend setters. If you want to be ahead of the trends and have a look you love, don’t be afraid of patterns. It’s important to know how much is too much, of course, but only you can decide that. It’s your bedroom, and whether you like some patterned pillows or an entire room full of patterned wallpaper you can get what you want. Just don’t be afraid of patterns, and you can even mix and match them so you can get a look you like. Some types of patterns work much better together than others, and testing them out before you commit to them in your space can be an excellent way to be sure you’re getting what you actually want, instead of what you’ve been told you “should” have.
2). Should you choose sustainable furniture?
In the process of buying a home you may have just moved your old bedroom furniture into your new bedroom. Even if you bought new furniture, is it time for a change? If you don’t like the furniture you have, you can always change it for something that you feel better about, or repurpose it in a way that works for you. New paint, new hardware, and some small changes can give you a great new look. If you really need something new, though, consider buying sustainable furniture. Sustainable products are very trendy, but they’re also good for the planet. It’s not just about being the envy of your friends or buying something that everyone’s talking about. It’s also about the ways you can help the Earth and buy products that you really love and can feel good about spending money on.
3). What about that reclaimed wood?
Much like sustainable furniture, reclaimed wood is another excellent and popular choice. You can often get this wood for free or very little cost, as well. Check your local paper and the internet for anyone in your area who has a barn or shed they want torn down. Also look for people who are trying to give wood away or offering to sell it if the price is right for you. You’ll often find that a lot of people just want things hauled off of their property. They aren’t looking to get a lot of money for it, and they aren’t trying to spend a lot of time selling things. They just have a bunch of excess wood they don’t want to have to take to the dump. That can be your ticket to some beautiful old wood that you can use for your modern bedroom projects, so you can get a look you love for less.
4). Have you chosen your lighting?
When it comes to getting a modern bedroom, the lighting can play a big part. It’s not just about the light fixture itself, but about the quality of the light it offers. Those are both important to consider when you’re looking for inspiration for your house and trying to create a modern bedroom. You don’t want an outdated light fixture to draw interest away from all the wonderful things you’ve created in the space, and you don’t want harsh lighting that doesn’t provide you with a modern but tranquil feel to the bedroom, either. With that in mind, look for something elegant and sleek, with a cool lighting that will give you plenty of illumination but that won’t have any of the harsh glare you sometimes find with the ceiling lights in bedrooms.
5). Do you want to display your media?
Another thing you’ll want to consider is whether you want to display your TV, stereo, CD’s, iPod dock, or anything else related to media. Some people want these things in their bedrooms but don’t want them to be visible, and other people want them to be a part of what they see every day when they’re in that space. If you want a modern but very tranquil bedroom you may not even have any media in it, and that’s perfectly fine, as well. You can focus on the options that you like the best, and you don’t need to include things that just don’t work for you, even if they work for other people and their modern bedrooms. If you do have media and want to display it, sleek and sophisticated lines will be the best choice and provide the most modern, trendy look.
