When moving into a new home – especially if it’s your first home – one of the most enjoyable tasks you’ll take on is decorating your master bedroom. This article from BrightNest outlines seven important things you might want to consider including as you bring your new master bedroom to life.
You’re going to spend about 200,000 hours of your life in your bedroom. Just to put that in perspective, get this: if you spent all that time walking instead, you’d circumnavigate the earth 25 times.
But, since you’re not Forrest Gump, and will be snoozing all that time, you might as well have an awesome bedroom! Here are seven things you need:
A bedroom without artwork on the walls is like a blank canvas of boring. If your bedroom is lacking, it’s time to change that. Almost any type of artwork will do, except for family photographs – this is actually a feng shui no-no! When it comes to bedroom decor, family photographs are considered too “emotionally charged,” and can disrupt intimacy.
It’s also important to provide a place to sit – that’s not just the bed. Extra seating is good to have in your bedroom for a few reasons: it can be a place to read, a place to put on shoes, or check your email in the morning. If you’re tight on space, consider getting a storage ottoman (that doubles as a seat) or a small, upholstered bench at the foot of the bed.
And not only will a full-length mirror let you double-check your outfit every day, adding a large mirror to the space will help make your bedroom feel more spacious.
