Quick & Easy Bedroom, Living Room & Bathroom Design Tips
Envisioning a new design or feel for an old space can be daunting. There are a lot of things to consider beyond furniture placement. However, we’ve got you covered with some quick and easy tips that you can apply when looking to freshen up your bedroom, living room, and bathroom.
Let’s get started!
Bedroom Area Design Tips
1. Plan for Simple Circulation
Try to keep your circulation on one side of the room.
2. Focus on the View
A bedroom always feels nicer when the first thing you experience is a pleasant view out the window.
3. Keep Privacy in Mind
It’s always nice when you can leave the bedroom door open without forsaking all of your privacy.
4. Connect with the Outdoors
While this might not be feasible in all climates, connecting a room with the outdoors is a great way to make the space feel larger and admit more natural light.
5. Consider the Furniture Layout
Your bedroom’s architecture should take your furniture into account.
6. Increase Light & Ventilation
Locating your bedroom at the corner of your home can give you windows on two or more adjacent walls. This gives you the added benefit of cross ventilation and a softer natural light.
7. Take Your Time
Great design takes a while and usually requires refining before you come up with the perfect plan for your lifestyle. Don’t rush through the design
Living Room Area Design Tips
1. Select the Right Furniture
The most important thing is you need to check what furniture you want and be brutally honest about whether it works for your space. The right furniture, both in size and style, can make or break a living room.
2. Designate a Focal Point
Your room’s focal point is where people’s eyes will fall when they first walk into your room and also can decorate your room to pay more attention. For example, a beautiful fireplace can change the entire look of your living space and add a fresh, updated feel.
3. Pick Your Color Palette
The color scheme is a key feature to cultivating a seamless living room aesthetic.
4. Balance Function & Beauty
The important thing is to ensure your room works with your tastes and your lifestyle.
5. Pay Attention to Lighting
Getting your living room lighting just right can be a challenge, but it can also pull the whole look together. We suggest a combination of various sorts of lighting. For example, lights from lamps, lights from downlight, or light from natural light.
Bathroom Area Design Tips
1. The Bath and the Bedroom Need a Comfortable Connection
2. Designate Spaces for Specific Functions
Design a specific space for each of the most essential functions. For washing, shower and toilet area.
3. The Bath Should Be an Extension of the Bedroom
4. Use Compatible Fixtures & Materials
Carefully select fixtures and materials in keeping with your tastes and with the essential character of the room.
5. Keep It In Proper Proportion
The bathroom furniture placement should choose the right size, not too small or too big.
Dining Room Area Design Tips
1. Decide on the function of your dining room
Essentially you need to decide who, how, and when the space will be used and let those decisions dictate the furniture you choose, the color scheme, and the layout.
2. Plan for Plenty of Lighting
Plan your dining room lighting early on in the design process because it’s a really important element.
3. Pick the Perfect Color Scheme
Dining rooms are often used for more formal social gatherings such as evening dinner parties so think of colors that deliver richness and dare.
4. Or Add a Pattern with a Wallpaper
Paint isn’t the only thing that can bring together a color scheme, dining room wallpaper is a really easy way to bring pattern, color, and texture into a space.
5. Find the Perfect Dining Room Furniture
It’s got to be the key part of designing a dining room – the dining room table and chairs. And it’s not a decision to make quickly, really think about what size and shape will suit your space best.
6. Choose the Right Layout
“In a smaller dining room” you might want to up the coziness by placing the dining space in one corner and mixing a circular table with a couple of chairs and a built-in banquette.
“In larger dining rooms” float the table in the center and add bookshelves or console tables at the edge of the room that can double up as storage for glassware and crockery.
7. Add Softness with a Large Area Rug
Rugs are a lovely way to ground a dining table and add in some texture, pattern and color. The key is to get the right size for your dining table and think about fabrics too. Avoid anything long pile as dining rooms are of course spaces for eating and drinking so spills and stains are inevitable.
