Since contemporary decor is a reflection of one's personality, it allows for a perfect mix of what one likes and what is currently trending. When talking of contemporary furnishings, trendy designs and excellent quality are two important prerequisites.
Bedroom is the most personal space of the home and needs to be comfortable as well as presentable. Its aesthetic value has a great influence on the way one feels as she generally spends maximum time in the bedroom. It is also the first thing one sees on waking up. While it is important to pay attention to stylistic details, it is just as important to keep functionality in mind while redecorating.
Bedroom decor includes more than just a bed. Other units like a mirror, nightstands, a vanity or dresser also matter equally. There are some considerations one must keep in mind while designing their bedroom in a contemporary style:
An accent wall
One may think that contemporary decor is about soft colours that do not stand out much. But contemporary goes very well with a splash of colour. An accent wall would instantly brighten up the room while still maintaining its cosy feel. The colour of this wall is generally brighter than the colour of the other walls and can be chosen accordingly.
A bedding set
The bed is the focal point of the bedroom space. If there is an accent wall in the room then the make of the bed should merge well with that. Apart from unconventional shapes, there are other ideas one could try when it comes to the bedding of the room. The latest trend in contemporary bedroom decor is that of altar beds. Beds are made into altars and pedestals, occupying the majority of the bedroom space. Canopy beds and elevated beds are other options.
A grand headboard to the bed can enhance the overall look of the bedroom. Headboard shelves are also trending lately.
Window dressings
Usually, people do not give a lot of importance to windows or curtains. However, on furnishing the windows, one realizes how noticeable this part of the bedroom is. Curtain and window dressings should complement the colours and textures used in the rest of the furnishings.
Dresser
The size, colour and finishing of the dresser decide the overall look of the room. If there's a king-size bed and the room is not too big, then a small dresser would suit the look. One can place a long dresser if the bed is small, or has been pushed to one edge of the room. Otherwise, the room may look cluttered.
Lighting decorations
In a minimalistic setting, furniture pieces are limited and the colours are neutral and light. Lighting fixtures can be used to accentuate these details. There are various ways of accommodating the right light in the room to get the desired effect.
As an additional touch, one may also use contemporary art pieces and paintings to add to the vibe of the room.
