It’s a fact: you spend more time in your bedroom than anywhere else. This is because roughly one-third of your life is spent sleeping. It can be hard to relax and fall asleep in a room that is uninspired or disorganized. Thankfully, it doesn’t cost a lot of money to redesign your bedroom, as it can be accomplished in a number of simple ways. Here is our guide to re-designing your master bedroom in your Ottawa condo or townhome:
Consider your needs
The first step to a successfully re-design is figuring out what your needs are for your bedroom. What is it about your current setup that has prompted you to want a change? Is the room too dark? Is there not enough room for everything? Are you just looking to mix things up? Once you have your exact needs figured out, you can start planning around those ideas. You don’t want to redesign your bedroom only to end up with the same issues you started with.
Change the colour
Adding a coat of paint to your walls is a quick and easy way to change the character of your bedroom. When picking a colour, make sure you find one that works with your trim. You want to have a colour that gives you the type of ambiance you are looking for. You may want a colour that is warm and cozy, bright and eclectic, or light and modern. There are so many choices to choose from. You can always re-paint if you experiment with one colour and you simply aren’t feeling it after a test run.
Add some window dressings
The right window dressings can really pull a room together. In most bedrooms, the eye is drawn upward because of how much space is taken up by your bed and dressers. Some beautiful window dressings like white panel curtains can really change the tone of a room, and they go with pretty much any style of room. If your room needs curtains that can block early morning sunlight, you can pick curtains that are made of thick cotton or velvet.
Pick functional linens
Sometimes something as simple as picking warm, comfortable linens can really make a difference. If you aren’t someone that makes their bed each and every morning, you shouldn’t spend too much money on expensive pillow shams and bedspreads. You should pick linens that you look forward to diving into at the end of a long day. They can be in simple colours or patterns that match your room, nothing too fancy required here.
If you are looking to move into a home with a beautiful, spacious master bedroom that you can tailor to your style and needs, you should consider purchasing an Ottawa condo or townhome at Huntclub Towns, Alta Vista Ridge, or another stunning Theberge Home development in Ottawa.
