6 Factors that affect a bedroom design project.

Dear friends,

If you are planning to design and decorate your own bedroom,then you must know that there are many factors that can affectthe outcome of your creative exercise.

Let's have a look at some of the possible factors.

1)Furniture:

Furniture occupies maximum space in a room.The size and style of the furniture you choose will directlyaffect the way the space is perceived after the decorationis complete.
Furniture pieces, which are abutting the walls such asdressing tables, wardrobes, cabinets, form the face of the walls which were previously blank in an empty room. Becauseof this the face of the furniture is a major factor iscreating the mood of an space.

2)Interior Color Scheme:

Color has a direct effect on humanmind. Color can make the room smaller or bigger than itis. For example dark rooms are perceived smaller in volumethan those with bright and cheerful colors.

It's not the room which changes, it's the effect of the color which our mind picks up.

3)Wallpapers:

Wallpaper is a good alternative to using paints on walls. The greatest advantage of using wallpapers is thatthey can be applied quickly.

Using wallpapers with design patterns can quickly alter a space and give a "rich" look to a space. Wallpapers areavailable in washable types as well.

The only problem with wallpapers is that they can get tornbecause of sharp edges of furniture items. If you have children in your family then maintaining a them can be alittle nuisance.

4)Upholstery and Linen:

This includes bed sheets, cushion covers,curtains, carpets, etc.. All these are dependent on somethingelse. What does this mean?

Curtains are always in association with doors, windows orother openings in walls. So the texture/color/finish of curtainsdefine a frame to the openings thus affecting the interior space.
Other upholstery items are dependant on shape and size of thefurniture on which they are used. That's why a clever useof color/texture/finishes can greatly enhance the furniture piece thus altering the overall grade of the space.

5)Lighting:

A well planned electrical and lighting plancan greatly enhance the interior space. Depending upon theinternal arrangement of the furniture lighting can be usedto enhance certain areas of the space.

Spotlights and filler lights can be used as and whererequired. Filler lights are used to achieve a uniform lighting,which is normally available during daytime from sunlight.

Spotlights used in the form of lampshades can be used to catera specific area such as study tables, bedsides. Apartfrom these two types decorative lamps used as hangings canadd extra mood to the space.

6)Project Budget:

Budget is a very important factor in any project. Professional designers are very skilled in maintaininga balance between creative designs and economical design.

A design which is economical yet projects a highly creativemood is very hard to achieve. However a good market researchcan easily make you a good and sensitive designer. Keepingin mind the various materials available in market and proposingthem in designs is a good practice.

I would like to make one important point here. A design withexpensive an expensive budget is not necessarily a good design.A simple and aesthetically pleasing design solution can easilybe achieved with creative thinking of what you already havewith you.

From the above discussion you can fairly assume that a slightchange in any one of the above factors can alter the appearance your bedroom. If you are planning to refurnish your bedroom,you can use this as a dummy checklist to organize the entireprocess.

I hope this article was helpful for everyone.
