Where Dreams Come True

When meeting our clients for the first time to discuss visions for their dream home, it is pretty much guaranteed that most of the session will focus on the living room area. In fact, if we break it down,  70% revolves around the living room and 30% the rest of the house: kitchen, entrance, dining room, terraces, bedrooms etc. If we take into account that the living room tends to be the largest area in the home and the place where we spend most of our time with family and friends, it makes sense that it would be the main focus.

However, as we spend a third of our lives sleeping, an average of 2,600 hours a year, perhaps it would be more logical to give the most attention to this part of the home. Think about it, the boudoir is your most personal space, and caring for this area is a sign your are also caring for yourself. It should be ‘YOUR’ sanctuary. The bedroom is also important for our daily well-being. It is the refuge where you go to find peace and privacy, where the mind and body can rest, recover and embrace the silence. As it has been proven that good quality sleep directly impacts our health and mood, you can begin to understand the importance of creating a space that helps facilitate this.

 

 An aesthetically pleasing room means nothing if it doesn’t cater for your needs. Make sure you are set about what you do and don’t want and make room for it.  It is also important to consider comfort and practicality, such as the choice and position of the bed. Natural materials such as wood, stone, linen, cotton fabrics and vegetable fibers inculcate coziness in the space while keeping functionality in mind.

 

Whether it’s in the small details, furniture and upholstery or on the walls, we advise you to bring different textures to your personal refuge in a subtle and meticulous way. An example of this can be transforming the traditional headboard into a spectacular structure, made with different wood and stone panels reaching the ceiling. In addition, vertically arranged panels visually lengthen the height of the room. If what you are looking for is a more organic version, it is as easy to change the stone and wood for natural elements such as sisal fibre and linen.

 

The bed itself creates a feeling of softness in the bedroom. To balance the room, it is necessary to infuse this softness in other elements of the interior design. It could also be just a simple change in the tones of the fabrics that dress the room. A good example of this is using pastel colours, which are achieved by adding a greater proportion of white to the application of the chosen tone to soften the intensity of the colour. In this way, the room appears more spacious.

 

Murals in relaxing tones are another option, positioned on the headboard wall. It is advisable before choosing the colour, to look at the position of the sun during the day. In rooms with a lot of light, such as that of a west orientation, opt for cold tones that compensate and "cool" it. On the other hand, in darker rooms, such as those facing north, choose lighter and brighter colours. You can achieve amazing changes with these small yet impactful details, achieving a much more serene and personal environment.

We invite you to turn your bedroom into your temple of well-being.
