Modern bedroom design ideas to uplift and energise

We're pretty confident everyone would like a little more energy each day. While many people look to their diet and lifestyle to put a spring in their step, there's one element that's often overlooked: the home.

Whether you're a keen feng shui advocate or not, a well-designed bedroom could play a beneficial role in enhancing your mood and energy levels.

From carefully chosen colour schemes to sleek pieces of furniture, modern bedroom design elements need to work together if you're going to create an inspiring and invigorating environment. Here's how to nail it.

Consider your colour scheme and lighting

Colours evoke emotions for many people, so it's a good place to start if you want to feel more energised.

Warm and vibrant shades can often stimulate energy and happiness, while muted tones may be more soothing. This is why some of the most popular modern bedroom designs use neutral tones with bold accents, monochromatic schemes or soft pastels.

It's just as important to consider your lighting. If you're hoping to feel more energised when your alarm goes off in the morning, try to maximise natural light. Sunlight helps regulate your circadian rhythm, which can result in better sleep and potentially waking up with more energy. Natural light has a range of other benefits for your mood, health and wellbeing, too.  

Choose textiles and materials wisely

Most modern bedroom designs use materials like wood, metal, glass and stone. Natural elements add warmth and texture to the space without having to layer too many textiles around your bed.

That being said, you should utilise some fabric and upholstery. Carefully-selected throws, rugs and cushions will make your space more inviting. Sheepskin-like textures and other plush fabrics create a luxurious, hotel-like feel while a chunky knitted throw will help your bedroom feel homely and comforting.

Maximise space and style

Feeling refreshed and uplifted is hard if your bedroom is in chaos. If clothes are slung haphazardly across your chair, make-up containers lay strewn across your dressing table, and scatter cushions litter the floor, feeling zen is unlikely.

Any stylish bedroom design scheme or idea must therefore incorporate storage. One easy way to do this is with fitted wardrobes. They create a streamlined appearance and make efficient use of space, so you can hide any clutter or mess.

If you're worried that fitted wardrobes don't fit your design aesthetic, don't worry. At Hammonds, we have a range of options to suit your needs, preferences and style.

Add some personal touches

Without a touch of personality, your bedroom will feel bland and lifeless. To make sure your space feels energising, spend time choosing art and décor that reflects your style.

If you prefer a Scandinavian look, use plants to bring vibrancy into the space without cluttering the room.

Invest in some smart technology

Think smart technology is reserved for kitchens and living rooms? Think again.

One of the best ways to incorporate smart tech into your modern bedroom design is through smart plugs. You can then, for example, change the lighting or activate a fan without leaving the comfort of your bed.

Similarly, you can use smart bulbs to set the right mood to help you sleep better and wake up ready to go. Don't forget a sunrise alarm clock, either!
