I recently came across a lovely bedroom design. The interior designer had carefully transformed the brief into a stunning 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 floor in a continuous pattern. The material used for it was laminated wood flooring covered with melamine. The floor thickness was 8mm with a bottom layer of plastic and foam to cushion and absorb the weight. Although not as classic as real wood flooring, 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 to most of my interior design projects and currently have a clear vapor beach shade installed in my bedroom.

Then come the walls. All the walls in the room were covered in a Dark Wenge shade. A 4mm natural veneer layer was used on top of a 12mm plyboard attached to a 50mm by 50mm natural wood frame. The wooden structure was made of pine wood but fir 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 topcoat, 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 attached to it. The folding rod of the projection screen was conveniently hidden in a niche in 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 upper face of the dresser was an interesting combination hat that I had not seen before. A wood frame was placed and milky white frosted glass was then recessed between the 1’6” by 1’6” frame openings. White tube lights were placed under the glass to illuminate it from behind. Once the lights were on, the effect it produced was incredible. At the top of the multi-level dressers comes the mattress for the bed. The mattress in this case was at least 12 inches high. The interior designer topped the mattress in high-thread-count white sheets, while he added a maroon-brown satin sheet for added 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 farce of randomly sized wenge paneling sticking out of a wenge paneled wall. All panels were backlit via cove lights of a shade of yellow. Tube lights in sizes ranging from 1′ to 4′ were used to create the desired effect.

The ceiling used throughout the room was simple 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 wood lovers and people who like to sleep in loft beds.
