3 Tips for Remodelling your Bedroom Space (a guest post)

Posted by dasfseegdse Minggu, 15 Desember 2013 0 komentar

While the Christmas period may have been one of the best in recent times for brands, many are warning about the dangers of consumer spending in the New Year. Time waits for no man, however, and households are still required to pay bills and pursue additional home-improvement projects regardless of the time of year. For anyone who is looking to remodel their existing bedroom space, for example, January may be the ideal time to access financial bargains and complete their refurbishment program on a tight budget!

Taking this point on board, what are the key aspects to consider when looking to remodel your bedroom in the New Year? Consider the following: -

Make the Bed your Focal Point

While your bedroom may have dual functionality, one of its purposes will always be to provide a comfortable environment in which you can rest and sleep. With this in mind, it is imperative that the bed becomes a strong and eye-catching focal point, around which you can integrate additional furniture and fulfil a wider design vision. In addition to this, you must also ensure that the bed is functional and fit for its primary purpose, so take the time to invest in a high quality, memory foam mattress from Bedzrus.

Apply Colour in a Considered and Sensible Manner

Given that the bedroom is supposed be an intimate space where you unwind and relax, the use of colour is particularly important. Using energised and bold colours in the bedroom space can be counter-productive, as they can make it extremely difficult to switch-off from conscious thought and the rigours of everyday life. Keeping this in mind, the most sensible option is to use pastel colours such as light blue and green, as these shades help to embellish and illuminate the space without overwhelming the inhabitants of the room.

Be Careful when Buying Furniture for your Bedroom

With a focal point in place and your walls decorated, purchasing furniture will be easier than it may otherwise seem. This is because the layout of your room has already been partially predetermined, while your use of colour will have helped you to determine which materials and shades to use throughout the rest of the project. So regardless of the precise amount of space remaining and your prevailing design ethos, you will be left with the relatively simple task or identifying items of furniture and purchasing them for the most competitive price.

With these tips in mind, you should be able to remodel your bedroom space without spending too much on furniture or unwanted materials. Given the precarious nature of the economy, this could ultimately be worth its weight in gold!

Choosing the Right Bedroom Furniture for Your Home (guest post)

Posted by dasfseegdse Minggu, 08 September 2013 0 komentar

You'd be amazed at how many people, having recognised the need for new bedroom furniture, simply go out and buy the first thing that catches their eye. This is obviously a schoolboy error. For not only does your bedroom furniture need to provide a practical use, but it clearly also needs to fit in with the rest of your room, both physically and from a design perspective. So before you go out and purchase on impulse, consider some of these important guidelines.

Is It Going to Fit?

This may seem like a very elementary question, but it's incredibly important. Not only do you need to know if your new bedroom furniture is going to physically fit in the desired room, but you also need to consider how much space will be left afterwards. After all, there is no point in having a luxurious double bed that is almost wall-to-wall, leaving no remaining space for other things. The most practical way around this issue is of course to measure your room properly before committing to any new furniture. Double check your measurements, write them down and then keep them on hand when you shop in store or at an online retailer.

Does It Match the Interior Design of Your Home?

This is very much down to your own personal sense of style. Where previous approaches to interior design dictated that furniture all be uniform and matching, this is not so much the case in contemporary practice. From the current perspective, an eclectic mix of styles can be even more pleasing on the eye, providing you have the ability to distinguish fusion from confusion. If you're unsure, then choosing quality wood furniture – such as the beds from Fortune Woods – is always a safe bet. Unless you have a particularly futuristic or sterile home décor, well made oak beds tend to go with just about any interior design scheme.

Does it Serve Its Purpose?

Beyond style and size, bedroom furniture clearly needs to perform a task as well. A lovely oak cabinet may be a perfect fit both practically and stylistically, but does it actually provide enough storage? Similarly, treating the kids to their own futon might be a sweet idea in theory, but will there then be enough room for their other possessions? Try not to be impulsive during your purchase based simply on your aesthetic attachment to a piece of furniture. If it isn't going to work from a practical perspective, you'll need to look for alternatives.

Style, Size and Practicality

Selecting the right bedroom furniture for a room is not as simple as going on instinct. Size, style and practicality should all play an equally important role in your choice.

college dorm room schemes + design board

Posted by dasfseegdse Rabu, 28 Agustus 2013 0 komentar

a friend of mine recently asked for some help in pulling together some bedding ideas for her daughter, who will be starting college in utah this fall. she mentioned that she was looking at some options at pottery barn teen, and i immediately stopped her and told her she was about to make a terrible mistake. (you can say mean things like that to a friend....i would have said the same thing to a client, but in a more professional and "nice" way!)

hey, nothing wrong with pb teen. i actually love pb teen, but taking an entire bedding ensemble from their collection can look a little juvenile--especially for a college student. their girl bedding tends to be bright, and more "clear" colors, which aren't as sophisticated as more muted tones.

for instance, yellow is a great color, but at full intensity (think big bird), and mixed with a hot pink AND a dose of turquoise, it can get bad.

(imagine mimi from the drew carey show... as a bedroom. yeah, YIKES.)

now, take that same yellow, but add some gray and brown to it, and you get a muted, pretty mustard color that will mix well with dusty blues, deep plum, lavender, and ALL kinds of neutrals. the palette can still be youthful, but in a controlled and sophisticated way.

here are a few color schemes that i came up with using a few of my go-to places for tween/teen/young adult bedding items: urban outfitters, west elm, etsy, and serena and lily.

so, which one did she end up choosing?
she chose the "dusty blue + black/white" option, and we ended up throwing in some green for an additional dose of color:

i am looking forward to seeing it all pulled together! my friend and her daughter flew in yesterday, and we met at west elm to make a few purchases....i will be sharing some pictures of my visit tomorrow, so stay tuned!

interested in working together?
i still have openings for september and october.

a peek at a master bedroom e-design "after"

Posted by dasfseegdse Senin, 07 Mei 2012 0 komentar

a little "after" glimpse of an e-design bedroom that i worked on for my friend jen...

the katie ridder wallpaper cost a small fortune, but makes a huge impact.
(and isn't her cute little pug a great addition too?)
because the ceilings are slanted and vaulted, the room lacked a sense of coziness and warmth. we added
a strip of molding about 8 feet from the floor and painted everything above (including the ceiling) charcoal grey.
this also helped in minimize a plant shelf that jen and her husband weren't crazy about.
everything below the trim was painted a soft warm grey.

the gallery wall commemorates some of jen and her husbands travels. as they continue to travel and collect, they can add pieces.

one of the stars of the bedroom are the linen and silk drapes that i blogged about last week.

we were also fortunate to snag one of the metal stump tables at z gallerie before they sold out.

the design plan for the room:

i can always fit in a phone consultation or a pinterest board + phone consultation anytime.
