Elevating Your Bedroom: Decor Essentials

Your bedroom is your sanctuary, a space where comfort is the first priority. Selecting the right bed and bedding is essential to creating a serene retreat that meets your unique aesthetic and functional needs. In this guide, we explore how to pick the perfect bedroom decor to create the haven you've always dreamed of.

Select the Right Bed Frame & ACCESSORIES

The foundation of any bedroom’s decor is the bed frame. Choose one that suits your personal style while offering practical features. In Singapore, where space can be limited, hydraulic storage beds that provide additional room for linens and other items are a good investment. Explore minimalist wooden designs for a clean, modern look or upholstered styles for a touch of luxury. Finally, pay attention to the size – knowing your dimensions beforehand is key! Clients often try to squeeze a queen bed into a small bedroom, only to realize later that they didn’t leave enough room for nightstands. We believe bedside tables are an absolute essential and should be considered part of the process when picking a bed frame.

IncorporatE A Statement Headboard

A statement, custom upholstered headboard (see above) is a design power move that can completely transform your space. Upholstered headboards offer a plush, hotel-like feel and up the style stakes in a way that wood could never! We love a headboard moment at Studio Oxley but remember, statement doesn’t always have to mean loud. A slightly offbeat silhouette or quality single-toned velvet can feel just as lush and arresting as the loudest print, so don’t feel pressured to go overboard.

Choosing Luxurious Bedding

The right bedding can be the difference between fab and drab. Too often, we see clients bring down the look of their otherwise perfectly lovely bed with depressing, grey duvets (have we mentioned we hate grey?) or printed bedspreads that clash with their upholstery. When in doubt, invest in high-quality sheets, duvet covers, and pillowcases in breathable, natural fabrics like cotton or linen that work with our humid Singaporean climate. As for neutrals vs. patterns, again, consider your headboard upholstery and other factors such as wallpaper. Take care to avoid clashing patterns and try to keep your colour palettes complementary – earth tones or neutral, warm hues all work well in bedrooms.

Layering Textures for Depth

Create a plush and inviting atmosphere by layering different textures in your bedroom. Combine high thread count sheets with statement pillows, soft throws and textured blankets to add visual interest and warmth (see left). Dial up the texture a notch further with grasscloth wallpaper and a rug. This layered approach not only enhances comfort but also adds a sophisticated touch to your bedroom’s overall aesthetic.

At Studio Oxley, we strive to help you create a space that reflects your personal taste while offering the utmost comfort. By selecting high-quality materials with a focus on texture and layering, you can transform your bedroom decor just as effectively as you would with a full-scale reno.
