If there’s ever a place where you’d expect fairies to reside, it would be in the confines of your bedroom, where there’s peaceful lighting and a world of dreams swirling in the moonlight. In this article, you’re going to discover how to truly curate your fairytale bedroom, from the furniture that you select all the way through to those fairy-friendly additions, like lights and other decorative touches. Whether you’re curating your own room or that of a child, here are some of the best ways to achieve the fairytale bedroom of your dreams.
Painting the Walls
A bedroom is a private space, and one in which you want imaginations to run wild and free in the moments before and after you fall asleep. As such, a fairytale bedroom needn’t conform to the interior design of other rooms – with white walls and serious-looking additions. Rather a bedroom should be individual, bright, exciting and creative.
As such, why not give your walls a new lick of paint, and begin to experiment with drawing and painting in forest trees, bulbous toadstools, and even little fairy houses in order to bring your room squarely into a mystical, fairytale atmosphere.
Prioritizing the Bed
Have you ever noticed how many fairytales involve beds? Whether it’s Goldilocks taking a nap in one of the Three Bears’ beds, Snow White asleep awaiting a prince, or the Princess and the Pea, there’s plenty of tales of bed-based magic in the annals of fairytales. And your bed shouldn’t neglect these facts: you can find the gentlest and most wonderfully comfortable platform beds online, to add to your bedroom in order to have it gleaming with stardust and oozing that magic and opulent appeal that’ll make your bedroom a sensational place to lie down with a good book.
Adding Atmosphere
How can you add atmosphere to a bedroom? Well, you have a number of options here, all of which can help your fairies stay happy and your imagination run amok. The key to atmosphere is the engage the senses, and in order to do that in your bedroom, you’re going to want to add some scents and some soft lighting – yellow and orange in nature – in order to build a vibe of a cozy fireside hearth by which stories are told. Scented candles can do both jobs in one, and can leave your room feeling clean and special after burning for an hour or so – though be very careful not to leave candles burning overnight.
Sprinklings of Stardust
Now, all you need to add are the finishing touches to your home that’ll help you feel most bliss and delightful while in your bedroom. Here, you need to think about the linen that you’re going to be sleeping within your bed, and the addition of fairy lights coiled around your bedposts. Likewise, add little touches of character – like a bookshelf and ornaments – in order to make your room your own, and to display your personality to make yourself most comfortable in the confines of your secret, fairytale bedroom.
These tips will certainly help you tempt fairies and magic into your room, building the perfect cavern of dreams for you to base yourself in.
