How To Create A Cosy Bedroom In 4 Easy Steps ~ Step 3 Is Crucial

1) Lighting

In interior design terms: 'Light' adds another dimension to a space, bringing the room to life. Lighting can create depth and height, cosy spots and draws attention to the focal areas.

Lighting can have a role in your psychology by reducing depression and even increasing cognitive performance like reaction time.

2) Layers

Layering adds texture and contrast to a space. This is an important design element as it creates a cohesive flow throughout the room, especially if you have other fabrics such as carpeting and curtains.

By adding throw pillows and blankets to your bed it becomes visually inviting. We are all about creating an inviting scene when it comes to the bed and bedroom.

4) Curtains

Much like how we spoke about layering with pillows and throw blankets, curtains can also emphasise a softened ambience to a space.

Curtains are important as they regulate natural lighting for outside. There are a variety of curtains you could choose from depending on what mood you prefer for the bedroom.

Blackout curtains create a moody feel and are perfect for sleep patterns. Lighter linen curtains allow for natural lighting at all times of the day, creating a bright and calm atmosphere.
