While there aren’t any rules you absolutely need to follow when designing a room in your home, there are a number of interior design principles that are worth considering when you’re thinking about the atmosphere you want your space to have.
One of the main principles we recommend keeping in mind at the beginning of your design process is the effect of a focal point in making a space feel truly complete.
What is a focal point in interior design?
Considered, well-designed rooms often have a focal point, which instantly catches your eye as you enter the space. Focal points can also act as an anchor point, helping to ensure that your room doesn’t feel like a confused collection of furniture and objects that don’t make much sense.
Pro Tip: If you’re working with a particularly large space, you may want to incorporate more than one focal point to encourage the eye to take in the whole room.
The great news is that it’s possible to let your creativity run wild because there are so many different ways to design an eye-catching focal point in every room. In a kitchen, cookers are often a focal point, however islands, beautiful bespoke cabinetry or even a dining table can also be successful centre points in one of the most-used spaces in our homes.
In a bedroom, a natural focal point may be less obvious, so let’s take a look at some things to keep in mind when designing your ideal sleeping space.
Key Replacement Wardrobe Doors Considerations
Consider the architecture of your room
This is an important step in every design process, as it allows you to determine the best layout for your space. If you’re fortunate to have a fireplace in your bedroom, arranging your furniture in a way that draws attention to this beautiful feature will always result in a successful design.
However, if your room has very few interesting architectural features, don’t despair because you can create your own. Bespoke cabinetry featuring storage solutions that meet your needs can instantly add character to your space while also helping you to create a serene atmosphere by keeping clutter at bay.
Pro Tip: Replacement wardrobe doors can transform the look and feel of a room in a budget-friendly way.
Make a statement with beautiful artwork
If you’re an art lover or want to play with the impact that a beautiful piece of art can have on the overall atmosphere in a room, designing around a painting, illustration or photograph you relate to and want to appreciate every day can be a great way to create a space that genuinely reflects you.
Use your chosen artwork as a jumping off point to create a colour palette for your room, which can inform everything from the accessories you choose to the perfect colour for elements such as your replacement wardrobe doors, flooring and wallpaper. This approach will ensure that your room feels harmonious and cohesive without detracting from the art as your primary focal point.
Select a statement piece of furniture
If you don’t have a favourite piece of artwork, you could instead choose a statement piece of furniture around which to design your space. This may be a beautiful curved headboard, a stunning vintage chaise lounge, or a bespoke wardrobe.
If you want to use your wardrobe as your focal point, spending some time choosing the right replacement wardrobe doors for the atmosphere you want your bedroom to have is really important. Traditional designs such as the Bella Westbury are an ideal option, as it has tongue and groove detailing that has plenty of character.
However, if you’re keen to achieve a more contemporary look, something like the Zurfiz with its colour-matched edge and light-reflecting finish will bring a sense of seamlessness to your space.
