When most people have a bad day, they tend to flop on a cosy couch to rejuvenate. Others, however, turn to their safe space…their bedroom.
The bedroom is a haven that should boast all the comforts in the world from a fluffy goose down duvet to pretty table lamps and sweet smelling candles.
Emirati retailer 2XL Furniture & Home Décor have a few tips and tricks, as well as items, to ensure bedrooms have the right balance of Zen and serenity needed to help homeowners feel fully rested and ready to take on every day.
“With the right mix of elements, you can make your bedroom truly cosy and comfortable,” said Amit Yadav, head of marketing of the French-inspired brand. “What is important to remember is when bringing multiple design elements together, symmetry is the key. A neutral palette creates a calm and serene feeling and is hence a popular choice for bedrooms.”
Add a metallic mirror to any wall, such as the golden Herbert mirror priced at BD29, to give the room a touch of glamour. Accessories are a great way to spruce up any space. A table lamp is perfect for those late night book readings. The brand’s brass soft blue table lamp, priced at BD25, is believed by the retailer to create a soothing vibe to any room, especially paired with a white shade.
Replace a regular chair or stool for the vanity table with a funky white fur chair for BD69 instead. Keep things tidy in the bedroom by displaying mementos, picture frames, candles and books in a shelving unit such as the black and metal shelves for BD64.
Of course no bed is ever complete without decorative throw pillows and there is no such thing as too much of that. A sequin gold and silver cushion cover, for BD6, offers the right kind of colour combination to jazz up the mood.
Also, mix vintage style furnishings with modern fixtures, such as the Yonalita bedside table for BD140, to add character to a design scheme.
