“Where the bedroom is wrong the whole house is wrong- Margaret Kennedy” (Quotation courtesy- wisesayings.com). Keeping that thought in mind, why shouldn’t we ensure that the bedroom of our house is done right? Then let’s see what all are the must-haves of a Perfect Bedroom. We’ll go through it, element by element.

Let’s start with the Bedding. It has got to be the most important part of a bedroom. Comfort should be the primary factor while choosing the bedding. Always ensure that the cloth material is breathable. Choose a bed according to the concept that you wanna go with. It can range from simple minimalistic bed to an elegant and luxurious bed. A massive headboard can be considered to depict superiority. It makes a statement.

Adding a Bedroom Bench at the foot of the bed, will complete the bedding in a refreshing way. The best thing about these benches is that they are not specific to a theme, they can merge in with the luxurious as well as a casual theme.

Lighting is the next important thing. Customize the lights according to your needs and style. We’ll start with the basic source of light, Sunlight. Make sure your room has enough sunlight coming in, if you want a bright and airy feel.

Then comes the turn to pay the attention to Flooring. The shade of flooring needs to be matched with the colours of the walls. Dark coloured walls will follow dark shaded flooring, while lightly and brightly painted will follow light shaded flooring.

When we talk about flooring, Rugs have been vital since ages. Not only are these pleasant to the eye, but they also provide warmth to your feet when the floor just doesn’t get warm enough for you to step on. But the size of the rug needs to be chosen carefully, as the wrong size can make it all go bad. Go for the fluffy ones, if your feet need some extra pampering.

Next comes the Window Treatments. The type will be decided by the amount of natural light you can allow in your room. Simple fabric curtains limit some proportion of light, while letting a small proportion into the room. On the other hand, Drapes block maximum amount of natural light from entering in your room. Drapes are mostly preferred for bedroom use as they ensure your privacy and help you get the perfect environment for a deep sleep.

Wardrobes not only are an essential in a bedroom, but they are essential in our lives too. There are a very few people who are not obsessed with filing their wardrobes with clothes. Their size can vary depending on how much space you are willing to give. Or it can also depend on your spending habits. You can play with the wardrobe exteriors, by either making it multi-purpose and installing mirrors on the doors, Or you can keep the doors transparent if you like to show off your collection.
