Bedroom 2018 - modern design
The design of our house or apartment is a kind of business card. This is a reflection of our style and rhythm of life, taste preferences and attitude to comfort. Many owners of houses and apartments prefer to entrust the design of their homes to professionals who, in close conjunction with them, can create an interior that most closely meets all the requirements of convenience, aesthetics and functionality. But if you have free time and desire, you can create a dream design yourself, having studied the latest trends and tried to choose from the proposed design ideas those that will most closely meet your needs and the criteria of beauty, practicality and comfort. It is best to start the difficult way of registering your own home with one room. For example, the interior of a bedroom is an important link in the chain of designing an apartment or a house. In a dream, we spend a third of our lives - a quality, comfortable and deep sleep affects our health, emotional state and level of activity. From the design of the bedroom, we all expect comfort, coziness, an atmosphere of maximum relaxation and tranquility. So what will be the design of the sleeping room in 2017? Let's take it apart.
The main design trends of the season 2017
When forming modern design projects, specialists are trying to find that difficult balance between cutting-edge trends in the design of residential spaces and ideas that it’s fashionable to call it “for all time”. Not every design idea that is currently at the peak of popularity reflects the needs of a particular customer, not every creative solution is applicable to everyday life. When choosing an interior independently, the owner of an apartment or a private house will need to separate the “useful” and “complex” or impossible design ideas himself, as applied to his own stylistic and taste preferences.
The modern style of living quarters is between two stumbling blocks. On the one hand, current ideas in design are associated with minimalist moods, urging us to get rid of everything superfluous, surrounding ourselves only with necessary interior items with maximum functionality. On the other hand, modern style advocates creating an atmosphere of maximum personal comfort, and for a cozy and comfortable atmosphere, for many of us, a set of basic pieces of furniture and decoration is not enough.
There is another aspect of creating a modern interior, which cannot but affect its formation - the versatility of the premises. Lack of usable space of apartments and houses, dictates the combination of functional segments within the small-sized premises. For example, a modern bedroom is not only a place for sleeping and relaxing, but also a dressing room, study or workshop, library or room for a baby.
And yet, you can highlight the main trends in creating a modern bedroom interior, from which it will be possible to build on, making adjustments for the size, shape and layout of the room:
- a modern bedroom is most often a separate room, even in studio apartments, where the kitchen, dining room and living room (often the hallway) are combined in one space, the privacy of the sleeping room is preserved;
- bedroom 2017 is a spacious and bright room (even if your room cannot boast of a large number of square meters, it is in your power to create the illusion of spaciousness, freedom, lightness of the image of the interior);
- personal comfort is the main priority, which is why much attention is paid to the ergonomics of the planning and manufacture of furniture, as well as to the use of materials safe for humans and the environment for interior decoration and interior decoration;
- in conditions of space saving, transforming furniture, built-in structures and multifunctional surfaces — consoles and modules that can be used multitasking — are actively used;
- concise decisions often turn out to be the most relevant - if there is an opportunity to simplify the design of a particular interior item, then modern stylistics will definitely do it, even classical motifs are reflected in the compilation of actual design;
- through the use of natural materials and the use of natural shades in the color palette of the interior, a connection is made with the environment, natural motifs are emphasized.
Room decoration - color options and combination of materials
The choice of a color palette for decorating the bedroom, and the whole interior decoration will depend on the size of the room and its position relative to the cardinal points. If the room is located on the south, southeast side of the building, then there will be enough sunlight in it and you can use colors from the cold group. If the room is located on the north side, then it is better to give preference to warm tones, thus, it will be possible to "raise the degree" of the color temperature of the interior.
Experts recommend using no more than three colors when decorating living spaces. In this case, the main should be a light tone. White color and all its shades for many seasons in a row is the most popular color scheme for decorating a bedroom. This is partly due to the fact that the white tone is perfectly combined with any other color schemes, it is able to visually increase the space and contribute to an increase in natural light in it. The versatility of white shades allows you to create original and at the same time calm images of rooms, even for those who do this for the first time.
White color is associated with cleanliness, calmness and lightness - this is the atmosphere that many of us expect from a room where we have to rest and gain strength for new workdays, new achievements and victories. Use white as the main color and two more tones as accents and your room for sleeping and relaxing will not only be easy for emotional perception, but also stylish, modern.
White color fits perfectly into the concept of modern style, which gravitates to the use of Scandinavian motifs. The style of Northern Europe is simple and concise, but at the same time comfortable and cozy. It has a lot of light and space, there is a feeling of freedom, but not minimalist, cold, but cozy, homely, warm. It’s easy to create a bedroom interior with motives of Scandinavian style if you like to use white color as a background and place contrasting interior elements in gray and wood tones on it.
It is easiest to bring brightness to the room decoration in a Scandinavian manner with the help of textiles - a draping of a berth and carpet. Even small splashes of color can transform a room, the design of which is based on light colors. Freshness and proximity to nature will help bring large indoor plants installed directly on the floor.
The use of brickwork in modern interiors does not lose its popularity. Even such a "far" loft style room as a bedroom can harmoniously accept such a textured finish. If the look of the natural color scheme of brick walls is too bold for you, then the bricks treated with water-based light paint will be an excellent backdrop for furniture and decor, even for a bedroom of small sizes.
A combination of finishing methods is one of the mainstream design of residential spaces in the current and next season.If everything is clear with the design of the ceiling - most often you just need to achieve a perfectly flat snow-white surface. For the decoration of floors, experts recommend using a classic parquet board - natural material will ensure environmental safety and attractive aesthetics. But with the design of the walls, you can make interesting experiments. Using the design technique “accent wall” is more popular than ever for the bedroom interior.
Most often, the surface behind the head of the bed becomes an accent wall. You can decorate it with the help of original wallpaper with photo print, wall plates (made of wood, acrylic, ceramics and even glass), fabric, decorative plaster or liquid wallpaper. Wall panels made of wood and MDF are the most popular - nothing brings natural warmth to the design of a room like a unique picture of wood.
If your bedroom has a fireplace (it doesn’t matter, it’s active or just an imitation of it), then the space around it just needs to be finished “like a natural stone”. Modern masonry imitations look no worse than natural materials, but at the same time they are easy to install, they weigh much less and are less whimsical to care for. Even a small piece of the surface finished with artificial stone will bring the mood of luxury to a country house even within the city apartment.
Wallpaper with metal embossing, velor, velvet, viscose and other textile materials are literally created for decoration in bedrooms. The luxury of fabrics can not only harmoniously fit into the laconic design of the room, but also bring elegance, sophistication and a touch of comfortable coziness to its image.
Furniture and decor for the bedroom - emphasize the main thing and combine the functions
No one will argue that the bed in the bedroom is a key element. A berth is not only a convenient and comfortable area for a good rest, but also a focal point for the interior, around which the whole design concept is often built. Even with a minimalist contemporary style in bed design, not just attractive aesthetics, but luxury is acceptable. Expensive velor upholstery of the head, decorative elements with gloss of surfaces or luxurious textile design - all these external attributes do not exclude ergonomics and orthopedics of the product itself and the mattress to it.
Most often, organizing only a sleeping place in a room is not limited to. The arrangement of the workplace in the bedroom is due to the calm atmosphere. In the living room, where the whole family gathers, it is often simply impossible to concentrate and dive into work. In addition, within the sleeping space, the desktop can play the role of a dressing table, having undergone minor metamorphoses.
If in the bedroom it is necessary to equip not just a workplace, but to place a home library, then you can not do without a bookcase. Designers recommend giving preference to open shelves rather than bulky bookcases with glass inserts on the doors. Even if the bookcase will be located from the ceiling to the floor, the design will not look massive and overwhelming if you execute it in white (or choose the lightest wood species). Of course, there is a certain inconvenience of using the shelving, the shelves of which begin under the ceiling - you need a stepladder or ladder. But this issue can also be resolved with the help of a lightweight, but at the same time weight-bearing ladder, which is easy to find in chain stores of household goods.
Under the bookcase, you can use the entire space around the window opening. Most often, these surfaces are not used at all. Even in small artificially created niches, you can arrange several rows of open shelves, which will become a spacious storage system for books, documents and home office.
As for window decoration with curtains and curtains, the modern style tends to either a complete lack of textiles or the use of thin, translucent tulle. In the living room, this rule is easy to apply, allowing sunlight to freely spread throughout the room, but in the bedroom the presence of dense curtains is most often not a decorative element, but a necessity. Designers recommend the use of fabric blinds or Roman curtains for rooms in which there is a need to hide what is happening from prying eyes or sunlight.
Modern interior for a small bedroom
If the room, which it was decided to give under the bedroom, does not differ in large area, then some standard design techniques for space design for it simply will not work. First of all, you need to get rid of all that is superfluous. A small space can quickly become cluttered if you do not constantly monitor the appearance of "necessary" interior items and do not weed them out. In the small bedroom, only the most important pieces of furniture remain - the bed and the storage system (in some cases, you have to refuse a cabinet or a chest of drawers).
Use light and warm shades to design a small room for sleeping and relaxing. Mirror and glossy surfaces will help to visually increase the space. A stretch glossy ceiling will visually increase the height of the room, and mirrors as a partial wall decoration or wall decor will help erase the boundaries of a small space.
But this does not mean that in a small bedroom there is absolutely no place for brightness. Against a light background of the walls, not even the brightest shades will look contrasted. Use the textile design of the berth as an accent (bedspread and “walkway”, decorative pillows, bedding) - you can always change it if the color is tired.
In small rooms, special attention is paid to the lighting system. After all, correctly selected and located in space light sources can accomplish a miracle - visually enlarge a room, create a truly warm, cozy atmosphere. The small area of the bedroom is not a reason to be satisfied only with the central chandelier. It is better to be able to maneuver - light sources for reading before bedtime or creating a special, intimate atmosphere.
