Cloud Nine – Designing Your Heavenly Bedroom Haven

Timeless Design by Kate FitzGerald-Wilks knows that your bedroom should be more than just a place to sleep; it should be a sanctuary where you can unwind, rejuvenate, and escape the chaos of the world. This week we’re exploring tips and tricks our team uses for styling a luxurious, functional, and aesthetically calming bedroom that will transport you to cloud nine every time you step inside.

The foundation of any calming bedroom retreat is a serene color palette. We prefer to opt for soft, muted tones like pale blues, gentle greens, soothing grays, and creamy whites. These colors evoke a sense of tranquility and create a peaceful atmosphere conducive to relaxation. 

“We build our palette off of a fabric swatch, or piece of furniture that Kate feels would be perfect in the space.” says project manager Joshua Towber, “While new client’s are always eager for the selection of a paint color, our returning clients understand that it is the last to be chosen. That is because there is nearly an infinite number of paint colors we can choose from to support the overall design, but things like fabrics, rugs, furniture, and art have a finite number of colorways available.”

Your bed is the focal point of your bedroom, so we like to make a statement when choosing the bed itself. Choosing the correct scale for the bedframe based on the room itself is very important. Investing in high-quality bedding is also essential. We only use soft, breathable fabric like cotton sheets for our clients and add multiple layers to create a lush design. An assortment of throw pillows and a cozy blanket doubles for comfort and visual interest. Kate loves completing the design of the bed with an oversized lumbar, or bolster paired with a statement fabric. 

We know that lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood in your bedroom. By incorporating a mix of lighting sources, including overhead fixtures, bedside lamps, and accent lighting we can create a cozy ambiance. We suggest adding dimmer switches to control the intensity of the light. 

A clutter-free space is essential for maintaining a sense of calm and tranquility. Consider a designated space for charging your phone and tablets. Clever storage solutions like built-in closets, under-bed storage bins, and multifunctional furniture pieces with hidden storage compartments will help keep the space feeling zen. We love using benches that have storage to help keep our clients organized and maximize space in their bedroom. 

Team Timeless will bring the outdoors inside by incorporating natural elements into your bedroom design. Adding potted plants or fresh flowers to introduce a touch of greenery helps improve air quality and we can source beautiful faux plants for our busy clients that are still honing their green thumb. Natural materials like wood, rattan, and stone will add warmth and texture to the space.

When designing your bedroom, our goal is to prioritize both comfort and functionality. We do so by choosing furniture pieces that are both stylish and practical, such as opting for supportive pillows, and ergonomic bedside tables, and chairs. Our team will arrange furniture in a way that promotes relaxation and facilitates ease of movement throughout the space by keeping walkways in mind.

Next up, our team infuses your bedroom with personality and charm by incorporating thoughtful details that reflect your personal style and interests. The design will assimilate and support meaningful artwork, photographs, or mementos that bring you joy and evoke positive emotions. Personal touches like scented candles, essential oil diffusers, or a soothing sound machine enhance the sensory experience and promote relaxation.

Less is often more when it comes to creating a calming bedroom oasis. It is one room where embracing minimalism (to an extent) is a must. By decluttering your space and keeping decor simple and streamlined your room’s design will promote relaxation. Quality over quantity is the name of the game when our team is procuring furniture and decor pieces. We will assist the client in selecting pieces that serve a purpose and contribute to the overall sense of tranquility.

By working with Team Timeless, you can rest assured that you will have a bedroom that feels like a luxurious retreat and provides a welcome escape from the stresses of daily life. Together we can transform your space into a haven of tranquility where you can truly relax, unwind, and recharge on cloud nine.
