Cozy Up to Your Custom Bedroom with These Trending Features
Incorporate these design features into your custom bedroom build for the best style, comfort, and functionality.
When designing a custom home, it’s common to focus substantial energy on choosing amenities and style aspects for common areas of the house like the kitchen, outdoor areas, or living area. However, one of the rooms you’ll spend most of your time in is the bedroom! Wind down, relax, and keep a healthy sleep schedule when you design your bedroom to fit your preferences and lifestyle.
Patterned Wallpaper
Treat your bedroom as an extension of your personality and style. This room, even more than all of the others in your custom home, should be a place that expresses your unique character.
One rising bedroom design trend is to add unique features such as bright, large headboards or patterned wallpaper. Some people may think that patterned wallpaper is only suitable for kids' rooms or teenagers' rooms, but it can be very attractive in any room in any room as long as it’s used carefully. Patterned wallpaper gives a room character and will have an effect on how different areas of the room draw the eye.
Selecting the right patterns can be a little tricky, but once you find something that fits your style, this simple touch can turn a plain bedroom into a visually interesting and enjoyable space. Choose colors and patterns that coordinate with the rest of the décor in the room, and watch how your style comes together!
Lighting
Lighting is always important, but especially in a bedroom, it’s one of the most crucial considerations. The quality and amount of light in your bedroom can affect the overall mood of the room, curb the need to use your electric lights, and impact how well you sleep. As you design your custom home, take time to choose the right lighting for your bedroom.
Consider designing your custom bedroom with a mix of natural light sources, full-room lighting, and targeted area lighting. Since the full bedroom needs to be visible and accessible even during the hours when the sun won’t shine, installing lighting to help you clearly see any storage, closet, and living space in the room will be helpful.
Especially for those who enjoy reading from bed, incorporating specific lighting for over the bed can help streamline your routine. Plan ahead to determine where the bed will be located, and design the room with bed-specific lighting, including a switch that can be accessed without leaving the bed. No more breaking your relaxed mindset when you’ve finished that chapter!
Natural lighting is as important in the bedroom as anywhere else, but unlike other areas of the home, it’s crucial to have light-blocking window coverings in the bedroom. Some curtain systems can even be programmed to open at a certain time of day, allowing you to wake up to natural lighting. Plus, your curtains and window coverings play an important role in establishing the style of the room overall!
Walk-in closet
No matter how hard a previous homeowner or spec builder might try, finding a closet set-up that exactly matches your needs when buying an existing home is extremely rare. A custom closet allows you to get the best of both worlds — organization and storage for all of your belongings.
Design a closet that accommodates your wardrobe perfectly as you sketch out the ideal amount of shelves, drawers, shoe racks, and hanging space. Plus, choose how you’d like to approach mirrors and lighting in your closet to best fit your lifestyle and routine. For some, including a laundry folding island or even the washer and dryer within the closet is the easiest way to stay on top of chores.
Regardless of how you decide to set up your closet and how much space you dedicate to clothing storage, building a custom home allows you to designate space in the way that makes the most sense for you.
Fireplace
A fireplace in the master bedroom is a strong design statement. In addition to making the room cozier and warmer, fireplaces are ideal for larger bedrooms that include spaces like reading nooks away from the bed itself. Give the room an instantly classy lift and incorporate a bold rustic style while also helping boost temperature control capabilities by hopping on this trend.
