Bedroom Interior Planning
Unlike the Living room, a bedroom is a private place that is just meant for you or your partner. So, here you don’t have to make a design to impress others rather it’s important to focus on the things you love the most and the design that appeals to you.
I often noticed people are keen on things like I want this bed, I need this particular wardrobe or I want this finishing or color for my bedroom. It’s ok, but that’s not the whole idea to design a bedroom. I always mentioned a design should be a theme and purpose-based otherwise we just create a mess and nothing else.
Planning for a bedroom interior or the entire home interior is vital and is better if planned early, even before construction. It will save you money and time.
In some cases, like small apartments and flats, it’s not in your hand so here you can entirely align the interior or can go with the design as received.
During the planning phase of the bedroom, you have to decide all things related to your bedroom décor like flooring type, ceiling design, wall color, decorative items, lighting arrangements, the furniture you want to put in, the directional orientation of the bed (bed alignment), wardrobe placement, etc and if you want to design according to Vastu then this is the right time to consult a Vastu expert.
You can take the help of a 3D designer to get the exact design of your bedroom before execution.
Go through the image below, where we aligned some bedroom layouts that you can select for your bedroom interior. (You can realign the length and breadth of the bedroom and use it for a small bedroom interior or for a large one)
As mentioned in the images there are primarily 3 places allocated in a bedroom.
One is for the bed and is called the bedroom area.
The second one is for the dressing room/dressing area/wardrobe
And the third one is for the bathroom.
For your understanding here is a chart describing the required area you should allocate for each.
And here we are going to discuss the bedroom interior with wardrobe and various other aspects related to bedroom interior design, as the bathroom is a different chapter to go for. We can discuss that later.
Decide the Bedroom Flooring
Like any room, we have to start the design from the flooring. If it’s already been done before then it’s okay but it’s better to design the room with certain harmony and pattern. We have to select the floor pattern and material considering other things like the wall color of our bedroom, furniture, and the overall design.
There are many flooring options you can choose from. Many prefer contemporary tile, marble, or granite for their home while some go with trending flooring options like wooden, laminate, or engineered wood.
There are many other modern flooring options available too, but you have to choose from these flooring options wisely by knowing their pros and cons and comparing them with your lifestyle and usage pattern.
You can add rugs and carpets to magnify your bedroom look. It will definitely turn your bedroom look modern, and stylish and provides a feeling of luxury.
Ceiling for Bedroom
The second thing you can do after the flooring is the ceiling and roof décor. Not only the bedroom ceiling helps you with the distribution of lighting it also provides a lavish and cozy look.
There are many types of ceilings you can choose from like gypsum, POP, PVC, decorative panels, wooden, Engineered wood with various finishes, and many more.
Many people prefer gypsum and POP as it is a pocket-friendly options, easily available, and provide a decent look.
You definitely try the other ceiling options for your bedroom only if you have a good budget in your hand and if not, you can use these ceiling materials along with gypsum or POP in some areas as a highlighter.
You can use the POP decorative panels at the joint area of the wall and roof/ceiling for a distinctive look. It costs you less and provides a beautiful look.
Also, the ceiling helps you to use various decorative lights, conceals the wiring, and keeps the room cooler.
Select the Right Bed
From the design point of view, every room has its own focal point. Like the sofa for the living room, the bed is for the bedroom.
The whole design moves around the bed, so we need to decide on the bed first.
There are multiple sizes of bed you can pick from like a king-size bed, queen-size bed, twin bed, double, super king size, single or double single bed according to your bedroom dimensions.
A minimum 3 feet gap is better on each side of the bed and if you have a small bedroom (like a 10’ by 12’ bedroom) then make sure at least there is a gap of 2 feet on each side. 5 to 6 feet of the gap at the footboard side will be good. If these measurements are not possible for all of your bedrooms, then try to maintain them for the master bedroom interior.
And you can check and select various bed designs available offline and online along with a nice headboard with 2 bedside tables for both sides. But make sure the design you select matches the theme you selected and the design you planned.
Dressing Room/Wardrobe for Bedroom
A dressing room or a wardrobe is another essential thing that you need for your bedroom to place your clothes and other essentials in a properly disciplined manner.
If your bedroom is big enough then you can create a dressing room within it or you can go for a nice wardrobe for a small bedroom.
As per your budget, there are various materials and finishes you can use for bedroom cupboard interior design. You also can attach a small dressing unit with it. Many people also prefer to add a study unit along with the wardrobe. If you want to, there is absolutely no problem with it.
But make sure the color and the design do not deviate from your bedroom theme.
Bedroom Wall Decor
You tried everything and add every ingredient to make your bedroom look fulfilling, but if it’s not then it’s definitely due to bedroom interior color, especially wall colors, or maybe due to a lack of wall decorative items.
Designing mostly depends upon the color combinations, so carefully select the right set of colors or you can take the help of any interior designing professional.
Always try to go with the light tone of colors and if you want to use a dark tone of color then the bed’s back side wall is the right preference remember it should contrast the bed headboard color.
Use a maximum of three colors including the furniture and door color. Using too many colors is going to provide a bizarre look and create a mess.
The below pie chart describes how you combine 3 sets of colors for a bedroom.
Apart from the colors and paints for your bedroom, you should definitely add some lucrative art pieces to your bedroom wall as well. You also can go with your favorite quotes that motivate you. Unlike the living room, the bedroom does not need many wall décor items. It basically used to break the monotony of any pattern around a blank wall.
The back side wall of the bed is the important one to focus on. It should go well with the bed headboard and the overall design of the bedroom.
Wallpaper is one of the best, quickest, and budget-friendly ways to design this wall. You can select from varieties of wallpaper for the bedroom but don’t forget the overall room theme, color, and headboard color during the wallpaper selection.
Bedroom Door & Windows
Many people ignore the door and windows to a large extent. I can tell you the door and windows are not only for ventilation or your convenience a little focus on these things can add great value to your overall design.
According to a study opening doors and windows decreases Bedroom CO2 level, controls temperature and humidity, and significantly affects the occupant’s sleeping pattern.
The two sides of the door of a bedroom should design differently. The easiest way to design the bedroom side of the door is, according to the bedroom design and finished like the furniture you used in the bedroom. The other side is according to the room it is exposed.
If you want to paint the bedroom side of the door then you can go with the Deco paint for the wood. But bedroom interior door paint color should either match or contrast the color of your wall and falls into the same category of color.
For example, if you selected a light and dark set of blue colors for your bedroom then the door should match one of those blue colors.
It’s wired to select a yellow for your door while using blue for your wall.

If you are using two different color combinations for your bedroom then the door color should match one of those two.
Use proper fittings for your door like mortise lock, and door closer. It not only provides you with a smooth movement but also enhances the door’s looks.
Windows are also very important for natural light, ventilation, and design perspective.
Studies found that windows with at least 20% to 30% of the wall have psychological benefits for its occupants.
Also, larger windows provide sufficient natural light and enhance the bedroom look.

Window sitting is an easy design and a lovely place for you to enjoy with your favorite book and a cup of coffee or tea. And large windows are perfect to design window sitting. A gentle paneling with a couple of small spotlights in the upper section and a set of cushions is enough for a window sitting design.
