In French, it is called a “faux pas,” which translated literally could mean a step in the wrong direction. Interior design mistakes are to be avoided at all cost around a house, but especially inside a bedroom, where it can keep haunting you for a long time. Here are a few that you need to keep in mind.
Looking for Perfection
There is probably no houses that don’t possess one or two interior design mistakes. Although it is always possible to recover from them, some can be harder to fix than others. The list below should be checked before finishing a bedroom, so you are not bothered by something you simply forgot.
A TV that takes too Much Space
So you have decided to install a giant TV in your room, to watch your films and series comfortably installed in your bed. Having a TV in one’s room is a choice some prefer not to make, for a variety of personal reasons, but if you chose to have it enter your realm of sleep, then you need to take in account the space it will need. If you have to avoid it, every time you walk around the room, it will become a problem, more than an entertainment value. There is a solution to this issue, which are TV wall brackets. By locating the TV directly on the wall, you will liberate a large amount of space that you can use for more purposeful things, and you won’t be bothered by the space it takes up anymore.
Missing or Wrongly placed Wall Sockets
This is probably the most common mistake, when it comes to a bedroom. Partly, the fault lies in the fact that before now, there weren’t so many things you needed to plug into the wall. But today, the bedroom is often one of the locations where we charge our phone and use our PC. If you have to get up to go plug any of them, on a cold winter evening, you won’t be happy about it. The same is true for the various lighting elements that you will position in the room. If you need to use an extension cord, making your bedroom look like a workshop, it will definitely destroy the rest of your interior design.
Low Level of Natural Light
Not so long ago, houses were built as if they were meant to act like bunkers, protecting us from the outside. That is why windows were small. But today, we all recognize the need for natural light, everywhere around the house. That can be a great difference-maker in regards to a bedroom. Waking up to a source of natural light is the most efficient way to get up feeling refreshed. If you stay in the dark, you will get out of bed, still sleepy and groggy. It is not necessarily something that will go away with a few cups of coffee, either.
An Uncomfortable Bed
There is a reason why it is called a bedroom: The bed is the central point of it and the reason why the room exists. Trying to turn the bed into some interior designer fantasy is probably the worst idea anyone could have. Sleep is one of the most important elements in anyone’s life. If you cannot rest for the right amount of time, deeply, then troubles will start popping-up in daytime, which can turn into anxiety and stress, making it even harder to get back to normal, afterwards. Make sure you buy a bed that is big enough for your need, with a comfortable mattress. There is no use wasting sleep over design.
