What are the things needed for a master bedroom?
Some of the bedroom things like bed, pillow etc. are obvious and it’s a must for every bedroom. But, these are not the only things that your bedroom requires, and therefore you should make a list of essential things needed to setup a bedroom for to make it ambient and comfortable for living.
Moreover, it
is easy to forget things without a proper bedroom essentials list. So, to help
you set up your bedroom perfectly, I have made a list of important things you
should keep in your bedroom that you may like to check and use.
Bed and mattress
Let’s start
with the most obvious thing and that is a bed. Many a times, we try to replace
it with a comforting sofa but if you really want to enjoy a comfortable night
sleep, then a cozy bed is something that should be your top priority.
Make sure
you buy good quality mattress. And, if you do not want to lay your bed on the
ground, go for a good bed frame.
And while we
are discussing about bed, it’s important to choose the size of the bed
carefully, because you are not going to replace it soon, so choose the size
that you don’t have to replace in next few years. Different sizes are available
today like single bed, double bed, king size, queen size, so choose according
to the availability of space and your current and future requirements.
Pillows and cushions
Once you are
done buying a comforting bed, now you need to buy pillows and cushions. There
are two main types of pillows used for bedding – one, the regular pillows for
sleeping and the other decorative pillows. Decorative pillows (cushions), just
as the name suggests, are mainly to make your bed look pretty.
It is
advisable that you buy pillows of both types. You may use the regular pillows
while sleeping and use the decorative ones to keep your bed decorated during
other times of the day or when guests come.
The pillows
come in variety of sizes and in a variety of materials. You do your own
research and find the right pillow for you, especially if you have neck related
issues.
Bed sheets and linen
Bed sheets, comforter, mattress cover etc. are obviously essential and one has to buy a few pairs of these bedroom essentials. If you do a little research you can actually get good quality bedding at reasonable rates, especially the combo packs. You may also buy the bed linens by opting for a bed-in-a-bag. Here, each set comes with a variety of coordinated pieces for a lower rate that you would pay to buy each individual piece.
Bedside table and stands
According to
me, there should be space that is within your arms reach where you can keep
your mobile phone, your coffee, your specs, your wet wipes and other things
that you may require while resting on your bed.
And, a
bedside table or nightstand definitely serves the purpose. So, it definitely
falls in the list of things you should keep in your bedroom and you must have
at least one or two bedside tables.
Closet
Every
bedroom must have a closet. Trust me; it is very much needed for storing all
your essential stuffs starting from clothes to shoes to bags etc. So, make sure
you set up your bedroom in such a way that you have enough space for your
closet.
Storage space
If you have
too many stuff to store, then besides the closet, you need to go for extra
storage options like, you may plan to buy a chest of drawers or go for a under
the bed storage option. Extra storage also includes wall hangers, shoe
organizers, jewelry organizers, clothes or garments racks etc.
Night lamps
If you are a
bedtime reader, then a night lamp close to your bed is a must have for the bedroom.
This will save you from getting out of the bed to switch off the overhead light
when you are ready for sleep.
Moreover, night
lamps are also very useful when you sleep with a roommate or a partner. This is
because the lamps provide you with enough light to read or to move around
without disturbing the other person by keeping on the glaring overhead light.
Rug
Irrespective of whichever bedroom you go out, it is actually hard to imagine a bedroom without a good quality rug. I will definitely suggest you to go for a cozy and fluffy bedside rug to enjoy the gentle touch every time you step on it while going to bed or stepping down from your bed.
By choosing and using right rugs and curtains, you can simply transform the look and feel of the entire bedroom.
Mirror
You may
already have a bathroom mirror. But, if you have a habit of checking yourself
before going out of the bedroom, then a bedroom mirror is an essential thing to
have in your bedroom.
Moreover, bedroom mirrors are also very useful for small bedrooms because they do help create the illusion of bigger space and also helps make the room brighter. A stylish mirror also contributes a lot in decorating your bedroom and creating good ambience.
In fact, you
may go for a dresser. It is actually a chest of drawers topped off with a
mirror. This way you may use the mirror as well as use the drawers to store
your beauty and makeup essentials.
Chair
Sitting on
your cozy bed for too long may lead to back pain, so I usually do not recommend
it. And therefore, it will be a good idea to keep a chair in your bedroom. In
fact, if you write or use your computer a lot, you may think of going for a
desk chair. For an avid reader, a comfy armchair in the bedroom is always great.
Curtains
You will
obviously require privacy when in the bedroom and so make sure you buy floor to
ceiling curtains. If you do not want them to touch the ground, then you can
hang the curtains an inch above the ground.
However, besides giving you privacy, curtains are good for various reasons. For example, a good quality curtain can make the entire room look beautiful and elegant, and it also elongate the height of the bedroom. Thick and two layer curtains are good to shield the sun from waking you up early in the morning as well.
Wall arts
Of course, your bedroom needs to be decorated a little, and wall decoration is definitely a part of it. So, you may go for various wall hangings or any other wall art to make the space very beautiful.
However, it is best to buy art and works for wall that is very calming and relaxing. In other words, go for pieces that help you stay in a serene state of mind. These actually help a lot in getting proper night sleep as well.
Ceiling fan
If you live
in a hot and humid country, then having a fan in your bedroom might of great help.
Now, it is true that you can keep an AC but many have health issues where
turning the AC on nightlong might lead to complications, so fan is better for
them. Also, fan is a great energy saver option. So, if you have a fan in your
bedroom, you will not have to turn your central unit every time you feel hot.
Convenient sockets
If you want
to save yourself from untangling extension cords all the time, then make sure
that you go for convenient sockets while planning your new bedroom layout and
design.
We often
need some extra sockets for charging or many other purpose like to use hair
dryer, or just to light decorative lights during Diwali, I mean it may depend
on your needs, but a few extra convenient sockets and plug points is always worthy.
Natural decoration
If you are planning to go for a high-tech style for your bedroom, you should remember that bedroom is a space to relax. So, it will be a good thing if you keep something natural in your bedroom which will serve as an energy source. There are various options like keeping indoor house plants, having an aquarium, organic fabrics etc. Go for whatever suits your style.
Scent diffuser
Air
fresheners are very common and popular addictions to the bedroom. It helps
masking the unpleasant smells as well as helps refresh you up. In fact, some of
the fragrances also help in sleeping better.
So, whatever be the reason, there are various options to alter the smell in your bedroom. Some of the most popular air freshener products are candles, oil warmers and diffuser etc. You can surely keep them in your bedroom.
Garbage bin
You may have
a dustbin in some other room but for throwing away bedroom trash, it will be
convenient if you keep a small dustbin in your bedroom. This will save you from
getting out of your bedroom every time you need to throw any bedroom trash.
Over to you
Investing in
your bedroom is something that you should definitely consider. But buying unnecessary or non-essential
stuffs for your bedroom will simply turn it into a clutter. So, it is important
that you invest in the right things which are absolutely necessary for a convenient
and comfortable living.

The guest room, as the name suggests is dedicated and devoted to give maximum relaxation and comfort to your guests.

The dresses that you wore in the weekends are all piled up on the chair by the bed. The mobile chargers are hanging from the plugs, the laptop is sitting quietly on the center table, with your perfume and hair gel, clothes spilling out from the overstuffed drawers and the wardrobe is jam-packed.
