Bedroom Wallpaper

We all look for the same thing in our bedroom wallpaper- that it makes a sanctuary that isolates us from the wear and tear of our daily lives.

And a pleasant and refreshing place where we can recharge our spirits.

But, as one of the most private rooms in our house, it is also a place where we can reflect our individual preferences.

This is to create the perfect setting that allows us to enjoy a happy and restful sleep.

Of course, there is no one correct answer in this regard.

But before weighing in several ideas, it is necessary to take into account, to begin with, the size and shape of the bedroom.

As well as the style of our home.

For example, a country-style bedroom is unlikely to work very well in a small-bedroom modern apartment.

Then there is the question of our own needs: do we sleep lightly and do we need a very relaxed atmosphere?

Or, on the contrary, do we find it difficult to wake up in the morning, and do we need a very briht and happy stay?

You should ask yourselves this kind of question.

Since they could influence when deciding how to make a makeover of your bedroom.

Tips for decorating

The bed is the center point of the bedroom. Place it on one side of the window; so the light won’t bother you.

Another important element is the wardrobe. And we have wardrobe wallpaper.

If you have enough space, you can leave an entire wall to place it.

If you don’t want the vibe to look visually ornate, cover it with white contact paper.

In addition, you could complement it with a chest of drawers, always useful to have easier access to your clothes.

As for its doors, we recommend that they be sliding.

They are a little more expensive but you will gain space.

However, if you choose a wardrobe with swing doors, consider that you should leave about 80 cm free so that it can be opened comfortably.

White bedrooms

A white bedroom wallpaper guarantees 100% serenity.

And it is also a safe option if you are decorating a home that you plan to sell shortly.

You can introduce in this white bedroom wallpaper some subtle variations.

Playing with different shades of magnolia and cream or resort to a wide range of textures.

And add cotton sheets and pillows that contrast with a knitted quilt, for example.

Or a glossy dressing table that counteracts the effect of a fluffy rug.

In this way, a normal white room can become a much more original room.

What colors and types of wallpaper should you use?

If we have trouble falling asleep at night, perhaps we should resort to neutral tones – they help us relax – combined with soft lighting.

If, on the contrary, we find it difficult to set foot out of bed in the morning, then it would be a good idea to opt for a bright and cheerful color that makes us start the day with energy.

Pale shades can be used to create a greater sense of space in a small bedroom, but if the room is cold or north-facing, blues-greys should be relegated in favor of warmer shades.

If we choose wallpapers with dense motifs or raucous colors, we could disturb the relaxed atmosphere of our room, so it is better if we stick to more calm and subtle designs.

Choose a wallpaper that isolates street noise

Apartments in Nairobi, Kenya, particularly need bedroom wallpaper.

Because One of the disadvantages of living in an apartment in the city is its high exposure to outside noise.

And, if yours is a neighborhood with a lot of nightlife, you spend some nights awake.

If you want a more effective alternative to buying earplugs, we recommend that you opt for acoustically insulating the walls. And windows of your bedroom.

Although it is always appropriate to consult a professional, if you are a handyman you can carry out the reform yourself by following these steps:

Insulation of the walls

First, remove the skirting boards and plaster moldings.

And then put memory foam on all the walls of the room, making sure they are well secured with adhesiv tape.

Then, put metal profiles leaving an air chamber with the original closure (there you will introduce the insulation, you can use fiberglass, polyurethane, expanded polystyrene, or mineral wool).

Lastly, secure the new drywall to cover the walls and finish up with acoustic bedroom mural wallpaper.

Insulation of windows

There are two options here: installing a double window or installing a double-glazed thermal window.

In the double windows, the windows must be at least 4 mm thick, and, as for the second windows, there must be two windows with a dry air chamber several millimeters thick.

In this case, the frame and the window must be correctly joined, with elastic strips that block the passage of sound.

However, if you don’t have a big budget or don’t want to start construction at home, there are some very simple ideas to isolate your bedroom from outside sounds.

For example, you can place a carpet (preferably high-pile wool or thick, as they are effective) or place large fabric tubes with a sponge or fiberglass inside the room.

In addition, if you like the back of the frames with this last material you will also be able to reduce noise considerably.

What are the most popular styles for the bedroom?

Modern bedrooms 

To be fashionable and follow the latest trends,  a modern bedroom Standard has to be light and fresh. And in most cases, it has a wooden floor, elegant cabinets, and all its elements in order.

If you are redecorating following this style, you will not be mistaken if you opt for black & white walls. While bedding and curtains should generally be in neutral and plain tones.

Avoid strong patterns or colors. Furniture and accessories, such as lamps, should be discreet and practical. So that they match the general pattern of the room.

This is a style that most contemporary a home lends themselves to, making it practical and easy to achieve as well as pleasing to the eye.

However, it is necessary to keep the order of the day,  to maintain that aspect always.

Rustic-style bedroom wall

There’s a classic, understated elegance to rustic wood bedroom wallpaper décor. Often synonymous with farmhouse decor. These rooms are homey and welcoming.

The rustic style offers a relaxed, authentic, and comfortable environment. Complemented by stone and exposed beams, It is a style that brings out the best in older homes.

But can also be used to endow modern homes with individuality and flamboyance.

Ideally, it should give the impression that everything has been gradually assembled over time, or that it has been inherited.

A wrought iron bed, a flowered bedspread, or a tartan blanket. A dresser that has been repainted, or maybe a lot of old suitcases for storage.

And a  fireplace with a pile of logs next to it, to give the finishing touch to make our bedroom chicer.

Scandinavian style bedrooms 

The Scandinavian style is characterized by its cleanliness, light woods, and neutral tones – to the detriment of homemade touches – to create a serene and hospitable environment.

Her favorite colors are soft: in shades of magnolia, gray-blue, and olive green.

The Scandinavian style is also associated with pine since it generally brings freshness to this style of decoration, but you can also opt for bleached furniture or wood finishes.

A ball of wool, a rocking chair, or a wooden trunk at the foot of the bed can help give the room an air typical of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales.
