Ideas to decorate a bedroom – from furniture to finishing touches

Choosing bedroom furniture and decorating your space, it’s smart to not only aim for a calm and comfortable space that’s styled to your liking, but also practical and convenient when it comes to clothes storage and your daily habits. Here are some ideas to get set just right.

It all starts with the bed

The bed is the centrepiece of the bedroom. So, as a rule this is the best place to start. Preferably, place it against a wall for a good overview of the room and easy access from both sides – a bed with a headboard adds to your comfort. Now it’s easy placing everything else you want around for convenience.

Generous clothes storage

Clothes storage that’s roomy enough to make things easily organised brings peace of mind and gives you a cleaner and calmer space. Not to mention how tidy clothes storage saves time and energy. There are several series that let you pick a wardrobe and chest of drawers for a nice combo.

Wall-anchoring reinvented – for a safer life at home

Chests of drawers in the VIHALS series have Anchor and unlock, a safety feature that limits the full use of it until it’s secured to the wall – giving you a real incentive to anchor it and make your home safer.

Which wardrobe suits your bedroom?

As there’s a wide range of sizes, styles and colours to choose from, picking a wardrobe for your bedroom should be no problem. It’s just a question of which one best matches your bedroom and budget.

How do I look?

A dedicated space for getting dressed and trying different styles in the mirror is nice to have in direct connection with your clothes storage. It makes getting ready for the day so much easier – even quite enjoyable, provided that you’re not in a rush.

Personal styling makes it yours

Feel free to choose your favourite colour for your bedroom walls. But since it’s important that this is a restful space, a pro tip is to go with a lighter nuance of that colour. Then, simply add textiles, decorations, plants and lighting to create the right atmosphere for you.
