Creating my own bedroom design for my new home

I am so excited to be moving in to my new home later this month, but there are so many things to consider before I move in, despite the event only being a couple of weeks away.

Principally I have been looking at the furnishings and decoration in each of the rooms and like so many other people, as this is a new home I want to have new furniture to match!

White Leather Bed
My first decision for the bedroom had to be the bed, and like I have said on this blog so many times, it was the first and most expensive decision to make. After much deliberation I decided to choose something that would match the built in wardrobes (white), so I opted for a white leather double bed along with white furnishings including a rug, bedside tables and chair as well as throws and cushions to match.

This will be my first white room and I hope to make it feel bright and lively so it assists me with waking up feeling refreshed and ready for the day ahead each morning!

In the past I have chosen to create bedrooms that are cosier, using warmer colours such as reds, browns and beiges and although they make the room feel warm, sometimes I have felt that the colours make me too cosy and less likely to get up.

It’s been an interesting process trying to decipher how I want my new bedroom to feel and although the "whiteness" might be seen as a disadvantage because of the brightness, I quite like the idea of having a room that will hold onto some light when I am on my own.
