As the housing shortage becomes more problematic around the nation, families and friends find it imperative to live in bigger living areas with larger groups of people. In this way, it is possible to split the cost of the bills among more than one or two people, which makes the bills affordable once again. The problem with this way of living is that privacy can only be found by hanging out in the one room that is truly yours; the bedroom.
Even if you have not found yourself in this position, the bedroom has become one of the places in the home that is a safe haven from the outside world. A place to relax and enjoy the comfort and tranquility of a soft, warm bed. Perhaps with a nice hot cup of coffee in one hand, a bowl of fruit in the other, and your favourite show playing on the television across the room.
This makes the bedroom one of the most important rooms in the house, which is why it is time for you to upgrade and refresh your space to match the new and hot trends showing up on the market. There are still some great bedroom décor for the year available on the market, but some of the exciting bedframes coming in for next year may be worth looking into since you are planning to upgrade anyway.
Multifunctionality
Multifunctionality is the one thing consistent across the board for the year and for the incoming trends. The bed is no longer just a place to sleep because it is a warm, cozy place to relax that is safe from the stress and humdrum of the outside world. That means that the bedframe needs to help maximise the comfort of your mattress without causing you to stub a toe when climbing in and out.
To be truly multifunctional, you will need to be able to have side tables to put drinks, food, remotes, books, etc., on, or maybe even some TV trays or computer stands with wheels that can roll under the bed, so leg placement underneath is everything.
Old-School Design Meets New-Age Trends
A great option is a pedestal bed with small legs to hold the rest of the frame up, or solid wood or metal that is inset under the edges of the frame, making it appear as if the upper section of the bed is floating. The bed frame does not have to be a simple piece of metal angle iron like in the old days, but if that is what you are most comfortable with, many styles can work around them to improve their durability and appeal.
Under Bed Storage
You can never have too much storage space, and since most of the time, the area underneath your bed is left open for monsters to hide in, there is no reason why you shouldn’t have some storage bins in place. Better yet, getting a trendy new platform for your bed with built-in drawers or cupboards could create extra storage areas for clothes, bedding, or even valuables you would rather not have out in the open.
Many different designs are in fashion, such as drawers and bins that blend into the bed frame and the surrounding décor, so the sky is the limit.
Final Thoughts
Trends come and go, so it is important to look ahead into the future to see how things are progressing before deciding on a specific design style. In that way, you can pick something that is trending now but will still be in style ten years down the road, unless you like to change things up every couple of years.
The main thing to keep in mind is that the bedroom is your sanctuary. Your home away from home, so it needs to be as homey and comfortable as possible without going overboard.
