To be young and in love again is one of the best feelings in the world. When young love blossoms, everything seems prettier, the world is your oyster and anything can happen. Newlyweds that are moving into their brand-new home, face all sorts of excitements. Turning any place into your love den and private haven is a creative process and an adventure to remember. With so many bedroom ideas and with everything being a google search away, it can be both easy and overwhelming to create the perfect envisioned place.
What’s most important and something that newlyweds shouldn’t lose sight of is the end goal and the journey towards it. With all the hustle from moving, wedding and starting your life together, it may seem like you won’t have the time or the energy for anything, let alone room design. But, with a bit of patience and love, anything can happen, so it’s best to get started. There is no time like the present, and this is a present that you will love to open, pun intended!
1. No distraction
Bedroom design begins before you even enter it. It may sound extreme, but the point of the place is for both of you to focus on one another. And anything that gets in the way has no place there. You can make a little sitting area, before the bedroom itself for starters. Two chairs, a table and bam, you have a place for all of your electronics. You can drink coffee here, relax etc. and use it to store any electrical distractions that have no place in the bedroom.
2. Minimalisam maximises romance
Continuing with the trend of clearing anything in the way bedrooms tend to be overstuffed with many needless items, that are just lying around. From chairs to furniture, it can get cramped and tight in there, while you need the opposite. With a minimalistic design, you can let the room breathe and have more space for one another. Again, use the method of no distractions. If a piece of furniture or an element is in the way of your special time, move it or get rid of it. A large bed, closet and maybe a nightstand is a good start and, you don’t have to stray far from the basics. Once you are comfortable in it and get the general feel of the room, then you can think about additions and improvements.
3. Colours and accessories
More often than not, one person in the relations ship gets a bit carried away and does the decorating a little bit too much to its taste. It can happen gradually and, that’s why it is easy to overlook or to find yourselves at the finish line with someone left unsatisfied. Always remember that it will be the both of you in this room and you will be spending a lot of time there, so it only makes sense for the both of you to make the room as comfy as possible.
Colours can be romantic and warm, with the two combined from each of your tastes. Quality drapes can elevate the atmosphere for when you need that private time, like the ones offered by Marlow & Finch, as there are times when you would like to shout yourselves out from the world. Blinds, drapes and shades are ideal to bring class, intimacy and decor all in one to your bedroom and make it a snugly, little piece of romantic haven. With them you can directly control the amount of light that comes in, keep prying eyes out and make the whole bedroom a bit more to your liking.
4. Sense of smell
We have talked a lot about the sense of sight, and that’s perfectly ok. Bedrooms and marital time should focus on engaging all the senses for maximizing enjoyment. The sense of smell is one of the most powerful ones when it comes to evoking memories and feelings. That one smell can transport you in time and make you remember things you thought too long forgot. Binding your future memories to smell begins with the simple scented candles.
While a candle alone does wonder when it comes to creating a romantic atmosphere, it can also come in a wide array of smells to enhance the moment. Some more permanent solutions can be all sorts of low-maintenance plants that you can discreetly blend in. Fragrant and exhuming, they bring in that natural element to the room and make you feel one with nature, as well as with one another. One more solution, a bit more on the sensual and exotic side are exotic oils. From skin appliances to those that can be burned, these wholesome additions to your marital time can be used in ways that will stick to your memory for a long time.
5. Storage space
For when you want to change the overall colour and design, without having to redecorate the place, you need something to take care of your side options. We have talked about decluttering and minimalism, so drawers and cabinets are ideal for bed linens, fresh sheets, extra pillows and designs that you love equally as your current room. Keeping your bedroom clean and hygienic means regular washing and changing the sheets, so you would want to have two or three extra pairs.
These are ideal for when you are designing your bedroom and can choose between all those awesome options. In this way, you can have them all safely and neatly stored for when you want to change and spice things up. Variety is the spice of life, so keeping things fresh in the bedroom is a good practice for years to come.
6. The Bed
We spend a third of our lives sleeping, so it’s best to invest as much as possible in that department. Your shoes and your bed are areas where being stingy is a quick way to lose money rather than save it. Buying a quality mattress increases the quality of your sleep proportionally. It makes the difference and transitions you from sleeping on a rock to a cloud. You will wake up feeling re-energized for whatever the new day brings.
Also, quality beds can last you a long time so you can consider this as an investment into your future. Think of it as a reflection of the journey that you are taking together. Your bed is your safe space, where you can unwind and take care of each other. Love, affection, relaxation and recharger all in one wide and comfy package.
While taking all of this at the same time can seem like too much to handle, the most important thing is to start with that first step. One by one, little by little and things get going, as you grapple and dive into designing your ideal and romantic bedroom. Making any place of your home just perfect and to the vision you both had is a process and not a spring. It’s something that you are doing for both of you and for the years that will come. With a bit of love and affection, anything is possible and all things last longer. We wish you all the best in your future endeavour together. Celebrate when you finish with champagne and have fun doing so!
