Things to Consider When Planning Your Bedroom

Let's take a moment for a quick review of what we've covered so far:

Form follows Function

The types of line and their impact

The use of texture

The Non-Exact Science of Color

Those of you with a pretty clear vision of how you want your bedroom to look - as well as those of you gripping that photo of a bedroom you stole out of a magazine at your doctor's office may think you are ready to jump into the car headed for the local home decorating center. Not so.

If you remember, there are two very important first steps when it comes to decorating a bedroom.

One: Sit down and make a list of every way the bedroom will be used.

Two: Create a master plan

In other words, the greatest "how" in "how to decorate a bedroom" is organization. All of your ideas and projects must be organized in a strategic fashion. You've got to institute some simple project management techniques to stay on track and on budget. You are not just decorating a bedroom - you are a Project Manager.

We've already provided a preliminary list of ways you may need to use your bedroom previously. This task may sound silly, however, as you work through your list, you may discover ways you use, or would like to use, the bedroom that you would not have included in your master plan.

It is quite easy to overlook including ways you use the bedroom that inspired you to re-decorate the bedroom in the first place. Something as simple as not having a laundry hamper can motivate re-decorating a bedroom. Wouldn't it be just awful to go through all the hard work of completing the project only to discover that you've left no room for a hamper?

Every day activities should not be overlooked. For instance, a woman may have been putting her makeup on in the bathroom every morning with her children are banging on the door may decide including a space to apply makeup in her bedroom is a good idea.

Getting dressed period deserves some thought as well. Decorating a bedroom is a good time to pay some attention to how closets are organized (or not.)

And then not all rooms belong to just us - or to us at all. Be sure to include the person you are decorating the room for when making up your list as to ways the bedroom will be used.

In the case of a teenager it is essential to get their input. You may have completed your homework at your bedroom desk while you were in high school, but times have changed.

You may have better results getting your teen to study when you realize they do math with the computer in their lap while lounging on their bed. That desk space you had in mind may not work for them, perhaps a study "staging" area to store their computer when not in use along with their printer, paper, files, and books would be a better use of space in the room.
