7 familiar things that don’t belong in your bedroom

Furniture set

In the 2019/20 season, the emphasis is not on a specific interior style, but on its uniqueness. So instead of buying a furniture set, it is better to look for matching furnishings that are right for you. You can make custom furniture or restore vintage furniture.

The central place in the bedroom is undoubtedly the bed. When choosing it, designers suggest adhering to two rules: natural materials and functionality. With or without a headboard, round or clear shape – at your discretion. Velvet is ideal for upholstery, it is in trend this season. The choice of mattress is no less important for a comfortable sleep, so you should not save on it either.

Massive curtains

Massive curtains and canopies over the bed should be left to the inhabitants of the royal chambers. Doctors recommend hanging blackout curtains in the bedroom so that outside lighting does not interfere with melatonin production and comfortable sleep. Pay attention to linen blackout curtains, since natural materials are at the height of fashion. In terms of color, natural deep shades of blue or green are ideal. You should also do without decor, fringes and brushes.

Artificial materials

The fashion for environmental friendliness has reached the interior. This also applies to the materials from which the furniture is made, and the landscaping of the space. Choose wood and marble, as well as natural textures. Pay attention to tactile sensations: it should be pleasant for you to be in the bedroom, to touch the bedding, to sit on a soft pouf near the dressing table. Potted plants are welcome: the more greenery, the better. Natural motives in the bedroom will create conditions for harmony and relaxation. But remember that not all plants are suitable for the bedroom.

Bright colors

According to the Taoist practice of feng shui, in the bedroom, you should give preference to calm colors and avoid exciting red, orange, yellow. In the 2019 season, warm autumn mustard, caramel, salmon, avocado are in fashion. In addition, instead of color-blocking, designers suggest combining shades in the interior within the same tone. So the contrasting walls are no longer comme il faut. The same applies to wallpaper: only one view of the whole room, without inserts and appliqués.

Luminaires of geometric shapes

Interior design trends have shifted towards flowing lines and graceful details. Geometric chandeliers, fashionable in previous seasons, give way to matte lamps of soft shapes. It is also worth paying attention to lampshades made of brass, rattan, with gilding or ethnic ornament. For lovers of futurism, at the Milan Design Week, laconic sconces in the form of pipes and flasks were presented. From the last season to the new, the trend has moved on decorating the ceiling with soffits. In the bedroom, it is worthwhile to add intensity-controlled light to create an intimate atmosphere.

Figurines

Although Scandinavian style is a thing of the past, the trend towards minimalism still remains. Don’t fill the space with too many figurines and knickknacks. Look for 30s, 50s or 70s influences and rounded décor pieces. Also choose ethnic motives. Designers insist that the interior is becoming more and more personalized, which is why things that will tell your story are so important in the environment. Instead of replicated posters from a fashion store, use a vintage-framed family photo.

Sliding wardrobe with floor mirrors

Mirrored surfaces also fade into oblivion. Nowadays, facades made of natural materials, especially wood, are in vogue. Moreover, ideally, the surface of the furniture should be as if untreated and, to the maximum, have a natural, pristine appearance. If you are a hi-tech lover, go for glossy cabinets. As for the mirror, the floor mirror will look great in an aged frame. The main thing is that when creating an interior, remember that you should be comfortable and cozy in the bedroom.
