Decorate your Bedroom!

Whether you’ve just moved or are looking for a quick, little home pick-me-up, or perhaps something more significant, there are some well-known decor tricks that designers employ that you too can easily do with minimal effort and cost.  Sometimes the smallest things make the greatest impact. Maybe you want to soften the walls, brighten your room, or add some warmth to your room. Take a look at these clever decor tips and see how they can inspire you!

1. Focus on the view- 

A bedroom always feels nicer when the first thing you experience is a pleasant view out the window — as opposed to a view looking straight at the bed. If you’re designing a new bedroom or reworking an old one, try to come up with a layout that focuses on the vista — whether it’s something as stunning as a lake or as simple as your backyard.

2. Connect with the outdoors-

While this might not be feasible in all climates, connecting a room with the outdoors is a great way to make the space feel larger and admit more natural light. If your bedroom is on the ground floor, adding a set of French doors can instantly increase visual space.

3. Storage-savvy space-

In a small room, getting creative with storage solutions is key. This bed’s backrest slides up to reveal storage. On the headboard, you push in on a hinged panel to access a similar space.

4. Choose a Focal Point-

A beautiful piece of furniture becomes the focal point when angled into the room. This approach may be more efficient in your space, too.

5. Make Rest a Priority-

Your bedroom should be your retreat, a sanctuary for peaceful reading, writing, studying, as much as a resting place.

What is Carpet Area and how is it calculated?

Simply put, Carpet area is the area between the walls, that is, the actual area to lay the carpet on. This area does not include the thickness of the inner walls. It is the actual used area of an apartment or commercial unit. Additionally, carpet area must have a permanent roof over it, at a normal height.

Carpet area is calculated by multiplying dimensions of a room, i.e. length x width. We get the total carpet area by adding carpet areas of all the rooms, varandas, passages, gallery inside the main door and balconies.

Depending upon the builder practice, carpet area may be 50% to 70% of the saleable area. It is used to calculate the cost of the property you’re buying. So, if you’re planning to buy an apartment or an office, always check the ratio of carpet area to the saleable area; because higher the ratio, the better value you get for your money!

There are other terms as well, that will help you size up the value of space you’re getting for the price you’re paying. These are: built up area and super built up area, about which we’ll talk in the upcoming blogs. So if you found this information useful, do follow us and share the post with your friends.
