Invest in bed linens

Out of every space in your home, your bedroom is sure the most personal and intimate. Sleeping through the night means making your body comfortable enough to maintain a restful state. Picking a high-quality mattress and good bedding is key. However, don't forget to layer your bedding if you wish to curl up with a good book or binge-watch your favourite series.

Use cashmere throws to create a luxurious vibe. Hang silk draperies and plush floor carpet for a sensuous touch.

Pick the perfect colour scheme

Choosing a bedroom colour scheme is important when deciding how you want it to make you feel. This may be a reflection of your love for a certain colour or to serve a purpose. For the interior wall paint, you can pick white or beige to create a tranquil atmosphere. You can pick green, lavender, blue or even pink to exude a relaxing vibe. Instead of going with primary colours as paint for bedroom wall, it is recommended that you go for a monochromatic and soothing paint palette.

Opt for smart storage

Use a bedside table with drawers to store all your books and knick-knacks and a storage bench for extra sheets, blankets and pillows.

Pick proper lighting

When it comes to the bedroom, it is always a good idea to have fun with lighting. Add indirect lighting that keeps the glare of light away from the eye. Install mood lighting to create the perfect ambience for relaxation.

Add the right décor elements

Creating a relaxing bedroom doesn’t just mean choosing certain colours. You can add elements you love that bring you a sense of peace and joy. Flowers, candles, books and art can all help you create a room where it is easy to soothe your mind, body and soul.

Keep these points in mind if you wish to create the ultimate bedroom.

Today, living rooms serve many functions. Some homes have formal living rooms, while others use the space like a TV room or a playroom. No matter how you use this room, the idea is to create a comfortable and inviting space.

Decorating is more than just eye appeal—you have to make the room work for you. Let's find out how you can achieve that:

The focal point: At times, rooms have natural focal points. If the room doesn't have a natural focal point, you can create one with a stunning piece of art or a vibrant accent rug. Deciding on a focal point helps determine the position of the furniture in the room.

The furniture arrangement: Always keep the major traffic areas open. Balance high and low pieces around the room carefully. Arrange the furniture in a way that highlights the focal point. Decide on the furnishings, the style and size of furnishings you will need depending on how functional you want to make the living room and who all will be using it.

The furniture: Determine whether the furniture serves the functions you have planned for the room. If a piece of furniture isn't working or if it is too large or too small for the size of the room, it is wise to get rid of it or exchange it with something else around the house that may be more appropriate.

The lighting: Lighting should be picked for the functions of the room and also look visually appealing. Each task in the living room will need either direct lighting from a lamp or indirect lighting that brightens up the room for conversation or TV-watching. You can use accent lighting like track lighting, floor spots or recessed spotlights that enhance texture, colours along with room details.

Hope you found some useful tips to create a living room space that is enjoyable and relaxing!

Unlike light colours, bright walls need multiple coats of paint to keep the old colour from showing through, especially if the new coat of paint is of poor quality.

This is why you need to invest in a high-quality paint primer. Higher the quality of primer, the more pigment or tint it contains, resulting in better coverage with each coat. You cannot skip the primer as it increases the durability and promotes better adhesion on the wall.

A low-quality primer will be thin and will give a watered down effect while a good-quality primer contains quality ingredients that stick to the surface of the wall, resulting in less primer needed to completely cover the original bright wall colour. Once the right primer is chosen, you need to decide on the paint colour.

Paint quality is perhaps the most important factor in determining whether the brightly-coloured wall will need one or many coats to hide.

You may be tempted to go for an inexpensive home paint but the lack of quality can burn a greater hole in your pocket as you will need far more paint to achieve the desired results. Quality paint contains pigments, resins and compounds that an inexpensive counterpart won't have. You can choose from a range of interior paint for the wall offered by Berger Paints India through Berger colours catalogue.

Investing in the right rollers is necessary as low-quality ones shed bristles easily, resulting in an unattractive finish. Same goes for paint brushes. A quality purchase results in a quality finish and lesser hassles while painting.

Make sure you get help from the experts if you plan on painting over dark walls as inexperienced painters may apply paint too thinly or add several more coats in a bid to achieve the desired results ending up with streaky and peeling paint job.
