Bedroom Design Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you start browsing floor plans and designing a dream bedroom, it\u2019s important to determine your goals for the space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the first questions to consider is who will use the bedroom. A couple may have very different needs than a teen, child, older person, or occasional guest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with who, think through how and when they will use the room. Is the bedroom to be a nursery for a young child? If so, room darkening shades may be a good idea for naptime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will 2 or more children share the room? If so, how can you maximize the space? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the room for a teen who may need a study space such as a desk? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or guests who may need a place to store their luggage?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bedroom Size and Dimensions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next, consider the dimensions of the room. Is the bedroom small, medium-sized, or large?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The smaller the room, the more care you should take on the design, layout, and furniture choices so that you can fit all the pieces you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you contemplate the size, it\u2019s a good idea to decide if you will work with existing walls and windows or take the opportunity to change the basic structure or shape of the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By designing your bedroom online, you can visualize the effect of moving a particular wall or enlarging a window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of Bedrooms and Typical Bedroom Furniture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While a typical bedroom will contain a bed and a dresser or closet for clothing storage, the rest of the furnishings may vary depending on the type of bedroom you are designing. Here are some examples of typical d\u00e9cor by room type:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nursery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A baby\u2019s first bedroom<\/a> may contain a crib or bassinet, changing table, dresser, nursing chair, and lighthearted d\u00e9cor suitable for a young one. Don\u2019t forget those room-darkening curtains for nap time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Child\u2019s bedroom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For a child\u2019s bedroom<\/a>, consider a twin-size bed, side table, bookshelves, a soft carpet or rug for playtime, and bins or baskets to hold toys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shared bedroom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When two or more children share a room, space is of the essence. Consider furniture that does double duty - bunk beds, twin beds with under-bed storage, side tables with drawers, and fun d\u00e9cor, perhaps with each child\u2019s name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teen bedroom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A teen bedroom may contain a twin, twin-XL, or full-size bed. Along with a place to store clothing, a desk and hutch are useful in a teen room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Primary bedroom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The property owner usually occupies the largest bedroom in the home, often called the primary bedroom, main bedroom, or owner\u2019s bedroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This room likely contains a queen- or king-size bed, side tables, a walk-in-closet or a wardrobe, and dresser for clothing storage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider two reading chairs grouped around a table or a chaise lounge for relaxation if the room is large enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guest room<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For visitors, it\u2019s nice to provide a comfortable bed, side tables, and a place to store luggage - perhaps a bench, luggage rack, or shelf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combination bedroom and office<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you are designing a multi-purpose room - sometimes tasked as a guest bedroom and other times as an office or playroom, think flexible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your design could contain a wall bed, sofa bed, daybed, and lightweight or wheeled furniture that you can relocate when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top Tips for a Cozy and Comfortable Bedroom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since a bedroom is often a place of refuge and relaxation, consider how to bring those elements into the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Danish concept of Hygge is a great place to start. Hygge describes a feeling of contentment, comfort, and coziness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a bedroom, you can create this feeling by adding extra bed pillows, both soft and firm, so that each user has a choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Side tables on each side of the bed are appreciated and provide a convenient spot for a water cup, book, or glasses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How about a place to curl up and read, with a soft blanket nearby for cold evenings? Don\u2019t forget to consider your lighting. Dimmers provide a way to adjust the brightness to the moment's needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And bedside lamps or wall sconces are a popular option so users can turn out the lights from the bed rather than a wall far away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
