Snow-white idyll for the bedroom
It's no secret that white color has a calming effect on the human psyche. In a bright room it is easier for us to rest and relax - the frantic rhythm of the city recedes, thoughts no longer get confused, breathing becomes calm and rhythmic, the muscles of the whole body relax. White color can not only calm our psyche, but also inspire a sense of security, peace, ease and freedom.
But this does not mean that an absolutely white room is the best option for rest and sleep. To avoid association with a sterile ward or operating room, other shades, accent spots or eye-catching decor are needed. Even if it is a light breed of wood for flooring or pastel colors for bed or window decoration - this will be enough to preserve the fresh and light atmosphere of the bedroom.
And if you plan to use contrasting colorful shades for furniture, decor or textiles, then complete with light walls, they will create a fairly dynamic and original bedroom design.
On a light background, any decorative elements stand out perfectly. White tone is combined with any shades and there is no need to puzzle over color schemes. For many homeowners, such prospects can be decisive factors in choosing a color palette for the bedroom.
Your favorite work of art will receive the best possible design for the space around it - a snow-white wall. Thus, the picture can become the focal center of the bedroom, shifting attention from the central piece of furniture - the bed.
Another important aspect of the advantage of using white in the design of vertical surfaces is the visual expansion of space. If your bedroom is very modest in size, if its shape is far from symmetry or the sleeping room is located in the attic or attic - white shades will help smooth out all geometric "irregularities", architectural features.
Another way to design a bedroom, in which the white color of the walls will be the most suitable option, is minimalism style. If you are close to a style based on concepts such as space, freedom, practicality, convenience, cleanliness and freshness - a snow-white palette will help you.
A snow-white room with a minimum of furniture and decor is not an option for everyone. But many homeowners strive precisely for such an ascetic atmosphere after a difficult working day. Calmness and freshness after a noisy city filled with bright colors is what is necessary for relaxation and a sound, deep sleep.
If you select one of the walls in the bedroom with snow-white surfaces (usually at the head of the bed), covering it with an accent tone, you can get an interesting interior of the sleeping room. Your bedroom will not lose its freshness and lightness, but a variety of colors has been acquired that will highlight the main piece of furniture in the room - the bed.
For many homeowners, the classic style embodied in a snow-white color palette is considered to be the top of excellence as a bedroom decoration option. No matter what new stylistic trends appear, no matter how cutting-edge design solutions were invented for personal rooms, a classic is timeless and fashionable. It is difficult to imagine all the wealth of stucco on the ceiling and wall decor in any color other than white.
Brickwork in the bedroom - not only for the loft style
The most widely used design technique was bleached masonry, which is located at the head of the bed. Thus, the accent wall is highlighted not so much with the help of color (although this option is not excluded), but by means of an unusual texture. There is something brutal in the presence of brickwork in the personal space of the room for sleeping and relaxing.
Brickwork painted in white will look appropriate in the ultramodern interior of the bedroom. The room, which contains furniture and decor of various stylistic directions, needs a light background of a spacious room.
Well, for the loft style in the bedroom, all the canons and rules literally advocate the use of brickwork in the design of the walls. It is believed that the original masonry of industrial premises was simply painted to save on plaster or any other surface cladding. Currently, designers specifically perform imitation under a brick or lay out really brick walls in order to saturate the interior with industry and sustain the room within the framework of the stylistic direction.
Your bedroom does not have to be designed in an industrial style so that the brickwork looks harmonious and appropriate. You can use a brick wall (unpainted, but coated with special protective varnishes) as an accent. If you like to see a beautiful brick color, its unusual texture, waking up in the morning, then design the accent wall not at the head of the bed (as is usually the case), but opposite it.
There is another way similar to brickwork to create an original space behind the head of the bed - to imitate concrete or foam blocks. In this case, you need to be prepared for the fact that the interior will have a pronounced brutal shade. You can soften it with artwork in pastel colors or interesting decor items, using mirrors or bright textiles.
Accent wall in the sleeping room - many design options
Highlighting an accent wall is a design technique that has established itself in rooms with various applications. Of course, the bedroom did not stand aside. For many years, designers around the world have been using this simple but effective move to create interesting and individual interiors.
There are many ways to create an accent wall - from a simple combination of wallpapers of various shades or prints, to wall upholstery using wood, plastic, steel sheets, textiles or leather.
One of the easiest ways to highlight a wall at the head of your bed is to wallpaper it with a pattern. In this case, the remaining surfaces are made in a monophonic version. Often, striped wallpapers are used to decorate the bedrooms. If you want to visually expand the rooms, then use a horizontal strip, if you need to "raise" the ceiling, then vertical stripes will help you with this.
Even a slight deviation from the general color palette or the use of wallpaper with a pattern of the same shade that is present in the whole room as a background will allow you to focus on the wall near which the bed is located.
Accent wall with bright geometric patterns - an option for active and active natures. On the one hand, your bedroom is quite original and presentable, with bright colors in its decoration. On the other hand - nothing irritates your eyes when you are preparing for bed - because the bright element of the room’s decor is located behind the head of the bed.
Designing an accent wall using textiles is the latest trend in design circles. By laying soft material between the wall and the textile, you will not only create an original interior element, but you can also choose a bed without a headboard at all, because you have a pleasant to the touch, comfortable and soft wall. It will be a logical move to repeat the coloring of textiles in other elements of the interior - as an upholstery of a chair or ataman, standing at the foot of the bed, covers for pillows or rollers.
The original way to design an accent wall can be done using embossed tiles - ceramic or its plastic counterpart. The effect of this coating, present in the personal room, is amazing. A similar design technique can be used both for bedrooms located in country houses and within urban apartments.
For lovers of eco-materials and integration into the modern style of country-style elements, you can offer an option with a wooden accent wall. Depending on the main color of your room, you can choose a shade of light or dark wood. Against such a background, even simple decor elements or ordinary wall lights will look special.
Not always accent is the wall at the head of the bed. If you really like the color or pattern of the wallpaper, then why not paste over the wall that you will see immediately after waking up? Perhaps this is what will help you wake up with a good mood and get a positive tone for the whole working day.
Photo printing on the wallpaper did not sink into oblivion, but transformed under modern technologies and capabilities. Previously, our compatriots pasted the walls of the bedrooms with murals depicting a birch grove or a waterfall, but at present, the choice of the nature and manner of performing photo printing knows no bounds. You can place any image on the walls of the bedroom - from a copy of the painting by Salvador Dali to enlarged portraits of your children.
For rooms of large sizes and with high ceilings, you can use really dark shades to design an accent wall. Against such a background, designer lamps or light decor items will look great.
Wallpaper with a picture for a bedroom - a classic of the genre
For everyone who does not want to deviate from the tradition of pasting bedroom walls with wallpaper with a pattern or ornament, manufacturers of modern finishing materials are ready to offer a considerable range of options.
Textile wallpaper and embossed using gold or silver plated threads decorated with Swarovski crystals, hand-made and painted by professional craftsmen. As they say - "any whims for your money." For any most demanding taste and wallet size these days you can find an option that will suit you completely and completely.
There is one unwritten rule when using wallpaper with print - plain curtains and curtains for decorating window openings are best for them. This is especially true for rooms in which all the walls are glued with wallpaper with a large pattern.
Black-and-white wallpapers with floral or animal pattern will give graphic to the bedroom interior. As a result, you get an interesting and extraordinary design, but while maintaining the traditional approach to designing a room for sleeping.
Decorative elements for bedroom walls
Obviously, after finishing the walls and installing furniture, you will want to decorate the resulting space. Painted walls or pasted with plain wallpaper just ask for the presence of paintings, mirrors, family photographs in the framework, and sometimes just frames as a decorative element.
In decorating the walls of the bedroom, you can use many options - the main thing is not to go too far with the diversity and number of items.
Against the background of non-motley wallpapers with a neutral color palette, bright decor will look no less advantageous. Creative natures with active temperament can choose more colorful combinations.
For some homeowners, practicality is always at the forefront and even wall decor has to fulfill certain functions. In this case, you can use the open shelves to arrange any little things that are important to have at hand before bedtime or when waking up. If you decorate light shelves with lighting, you can create diffused lighting for the evening, soothing and conducive to rest and sleep.
The decor on the walls does not have to be vibrant and active. If the bedroom is decorated in soft, pastel colors and you would like to maintain an atmosphere of relaxation and tranquility, you can use large decorative elements, but calm colors, without shine and dark spots in the design.
