Trends in bedroom design

Bedrooms are high on the decorating agenda these days and it’s no wonder when you consider that we spend more time in bed than we do anywhere else. As a result, we are finding that more people are now prepared to invest time and money into making sure this important room reflects our personality and enhances our mood, but more than this the room needs to be multi-purpose.  

The bedroom now functions as a home office and a place where we can recline in comfort and enjoy watching TV and DVD’s or listen to music. Gone are the days when the bedroom was just a place to sleep, we now use this room as our own private sanctuary, away from life’s stresses and strains.

Space can often be limited, so it is important to think about how you use your room, decide on the features you need to incorporate to make this work and design the room accordingly.

Fitted furniture has truly come into its own over the past couple of years and is now regarded as a practical yet highly fashionable option for homeowners. As we continue to demand more from our homes, new construction methods have been developed to make efficient use of space whilst offering a streamlined look, as seen in the brand new high-gloss Metropolitan range from Sharps.

Completely unique, the new construction system utilises a sectional framework inside the wardrobes, upon which the door hinges can be mounted, allowing for all the doors to sit tightly together so no facings are shown in-between. This design provides all the features and benefits of a carcase system whilst retaining the advantages of Sharps’ original front-frame system.

High-gloss doors are a stunning new trend, especially when combined with contemporary wood frames, and there is a range of exciting new colours being incorporated into bedroom designs, from classic ivory to bold burgundy.

Touch catch doors, which automatically pop open when pushed at the edge of the door, are also proving to be highly popular as they provide a streamlined and unfussy finish, and, whilst soft close drawers and doors are a desirable choice, storage solutions will always be one of the most important considerations. There are a wide variety of options available from double clothes rails to pull out trouser, tie and shoe racks, pull-down hanging rails to integrated shelving and drawers, so speak with a bedroom specialist to find out what can work for you.

Co-ordination is also paramount when designing the perfect bedroom space so look out for ranges that feature matching freestanding storage and bedside cabinets.
