I recently came across a lovely bedroom design. The interior designer had carefully transformed the rundown into an impressive interior space. I thought I might as well share what I saw with all you avid interior design lovers out there.
Let’s start with the floor. A beautiful walnut tone was used on the flooring in a continuous pattern. The material used for it was melamine-coated laminated wood flooring. The floor was 8mm thick with a bottom layer of plastic and foam to cushion and absorb weight. Although not as classic as a real wood floor, laminate flooring is a great alternative to hardwood flooring as it is very cost effective while still providing a pristine look and feel. I personally love adding laminate flooring in most of my interior design projects and currently have a light vapor beach curtain installed in my bedroom.
Next come the walls. All the walls of the room were covered in a Dark Wenge tone. A 4mm natural veneer ply was used on a 12mm ply board bonded to a 50mm by 50mm natural timber frame. The wooden structure was made of pine wood but spruce can also be used for it. The natural veneer skin was derived from wenge wood, and after a few coats of polishing and a melamine top, the look it gave it was truly amazing. To add more depth, grooves 6 mm wide and 12 mm deep were left at horizontal intervals of 3 feet each. The wall to the left of the bedroom had a roll-up projection screen placed on it. The folding rod of the projection screen was conveniently hidden in a niche cut into the false ceiling.
Now comes the bed. The bed was almost 3′ high. To get on the bed you would have to climb two levels of side boards about 1’6” deep. The vertical face of the sideboards was covered in Wenge wood in keeping with the theme of the room. The top face of the dresser was an interesting combination hat that I hadn’t seen before. A wood frame was placed and then milky white frosted glass was embedded between the 1’6” by 1’6” frame openings. White tube lights were placed under the glass to light it from behind. Once the lights were on, the effect was amazing. On top of the multi-tiered dressers comes the mattress for the bed. The mattress in this case was at least 12 inches high. The interior designer covered the mattress with white sheets with a high thread count, while he added a maroon brown satin sheet to add contrast. The headboard of the bed had cove lights behind it in orange and yellow. An LED strip was used to create this effect.
The wall at the back of the bed was an interesting sham of random sized wenge wood paneling protruding from a wenge paneled wall. All panels were backlit through cove lights of a yellow hue. Tube lights in sizes ranging from 1′ to 4′ were used to create the desired effect.
The ceiling used throughout the room was plain plaster. There was so much going on in the room in terms of design elements that it was best to leave the ceiling flat, which the designer rightly did. To illuminate the room, 4” diameter recessed spotlights were used.
This unique bedroom is ideal for lovers of wood and for people who like to sleep on loft beds.
