A comfy bed, TV and snacks – a contemporary bedroom that’s got it all

Lack of space or just loving lying horizontally sometimes means the bedroom is often the best place to really wind down and pamper yourself after a long day. But how do you make your bedroom a calm and relaxing place for sleep, while also having a cozy space to watch your favorite TV series and eat snacks? With clever decoration and flexible storage, this room has space for it all – including your furry best friend.

A lounging and sleep center

Start by investing in a comfortable bed. Choose a mix of textiles to get the right comfort when you need it. Boost the lounging style with a throw or two and lots of cushions to amp up the snugness. Ready to sleep? Simply pop the extra textiles and cushions into the coordinated under-bed storage drawers.

A sleek storage corner

To get the most lounging potential out of a small space, check your storage. This is where this coordinated wardrobe and chest of drawers come in, creating a flexible space that can hold most things easily. Add KOMPLEMENT interior organizers in the wardrobe and SKUBB boxes in drawers to make a home for your belongings that’s so neat it might be hard to resist showing it off on social media.

Take a fresh look at your coat stand

Give a coat stand a new lease of life in the bedroom by using it to keep clothes you wear frequently – like a favorite sweatshirt or dressing gown – extra accessible. It’s also a great way to make your most extrovert accessories part of the décor, or for getting tomorrow’s outfit ready before you hunker down for the night. Pro tip: go bold with a vibrant color like yellow for an upbeat modern style.

TV that’s part of the bigger picture

Want a TV in your bedroom, but don’t want it to be the main attraction when it’s off? Make it part of the decoration. Surround it with a collage of posters and pictures in colors and shapes that work with the décor of the rest of the space. The result? A joyful wall that sets an easy-going atmosphere when the TV is off, and won’t distract from your watching when it’s on.

Roll in the snacks

Tucked away beside the window this cart brings a lively flash of color to the corner. And as keeper of containers full of treats and snacks, it’s ready to wheel them over when you feel a bit peckish – great for when you’re watching a movie. Keep a treat or two for your dog here too, so they don’t feel left out.

Show it off or hide it away

Make room for your stuff with a wall of storage. With its color block look that mirrors the shapes on the TV wall, these high cupboards help increase the illusion of space. Taking doors off some of the cupboards adds depth as well as creating little personality-packed cubby holes for mini-collections and books. And the best bit? Simply shut the doors on everything you want to make instantly invisible. Magic!

Create a space that’s sleep- and cinema-ready

Clean and curtain-free, a window dressed with a blind helps to keep the modern, blocky theme going throughout the whole space. And as a bonus, it helps the room look larger too. Our block-out blinds create conditions for better sleep – as well as giving you nearly cinema-grade darkness for your favorite movies and shows.

Your calm sanctuary – with snacks

Soft candy colors and closed storage help create a mood that mixes vibrant energy with calm and cozy. It’s all down to a balance of comfort and function, with the upholstered bed delivering on both fronts. Small details like the cart and handy bedside shelves keep things nearby (hint: treats and TV remote), so everything is in place for hunkering down.
