1 repair plan
Get folder (virtual or real), in which you will save all the interiors you like bedrooms: from blogs, magazines, portfolio of designers. Try to make a collage of furniture, adding accessories and picking up the color of the walls. You can maintain the budget in the Excel table, it is there to keep contacts of workers, store addresses, make notes. When the action plan is reflected on paper and in pictures, it is easier to take a business.
2 Soundproofing
An important aspect that needs to pay attention is still at the stage of repair - silence in the bedroom. If you will be disturbed by neighbors or cars outside the window, then the design and correct ergonomics will no longer have a lot.Window
The bedroom is best to put a two-chamber glass. It consists of three glasses between which is inert gas. The design is much better absorbs noise from the street.
Walls, ceiling and floor
For sound insulation, one of the sound absorbing materials are used.
- Mineral wool. The cheapest material will give protection at 5-10 dB, but you need to use with plasterboard sheets. The thickness of the structure will be at least 5 cm.
- Cork panels. Easy to be installed, perfectly absorb noise, but quite expensive.
- Polyurethane plates. Thickness up to 1.5 cm, effectively devour noise.
3 Lighting
The lighting scenarios are thought out at the repair stage to plan, where to carry out wiring for lamps and sconces, switches sockets. Focus on the size of the bedroom and the number of functional zones - on each of them should have their own source of light. If the mirror and the cabinet will stand in the bedroom, then chandelier will be needed or point lamps above them. We need a pair of scabs or lamps on a long cord on the sides of the bed, lighting for an eyebound for reading or dressing table.
Choose a light bulb with a soft warm light, the packages of such indicate the value of 3,000-4,000 K.
4 bed switches and doors
Switches are better to duplicate: at the entrance to the room at the height of the palm of the palm and near the bed so that you should not get up to turn on or off the light. It is better to give preference to mechanical switches - they are easy to install and durable. Electronic can fail, and they will be difficult to fix it.
5 Pleasant to the touch Finishing materials
The only type of finishing, which in the bedroom will not be appropriate - any cold surfaces. The brick or concrete wall has a headboard, the floor tile can be unpleasant to the touch in the cold season.
Practical and universal solution: Sit on the floor laminate with the effect of a wooden rough surface, and for the walls to choose paper wallpaper or paint.
6 Neutral Color Palette
The color palette of the bedroom is selected before buying furniture. If the room is small, it is worth trying bright cold shades, including the popular Scandinavian white base. If the bedroom is spacious or just want something bright, follow the color combination of 60/30/10. This means that 60% will take a neutral light color, for example, gray, 30% - colorful shade, for example, lemon yellow, and 10% - bright accessories.
7 distances between furniture
Ergonomics of the bedroom is calculated based on the size of the bed. To select the length correctly, add to your growth at least 30 cm. The width depends on the size of the room and the number of people who will sleep in it. For one adult, there is enough 110-140 cm, for two you already need 150-180 cm. A teenager or child is enough for 90-100 cm.
Focus on the fact that between the bed and the wall should be at least 50 cm. If it is impossible to achieve two identical passes on the sides of the bed, move it close to the wall.
There should be 70 cm between the bed and the large wardrobe, it is better to take cabinets with sliding doors. So you will save the place.
To calculate the distance between the bed and the dresser, you need to measure its depth and multiply the value to two. To this parameter add at least 50 cm so that you can approach the chest, to put forward the box without any problems and do not lie down into bed.
