6 Design Tips for a Well-Planned Couple's Bedroom
Create a stylish and personalised space that brings a comfy, cosy and romantic vibe to your love nest
The main design criterion for a couple’s bedroom is to have a warm and inviting space that makes both partners feel absolutely comfortable. Also, the bedroom should emerge as an efficient shared space that caters to the individual requirements of the couple. Although the basic planning of the bedroom revolves around the position of the furniture, other factors, such as personal style, colour preferences, ambience and the age of the couple, play a key role in designing the overall decor of the bedroom.
Ideally, a headboard should be padded or upholstered in materials such as leather, fabric or PU (artificial leather) for maximum comfort
An upholstered headboard provides comfort and softness, and feels cosy when sitting up in bed watching television, reading or having bedtime conversations. A padded headboard also provides adequate support so that you do not put any strain on the back.
