Our first home: Bedroom planning
As mentioned here we are in the slow process of upgrading our apartment. The process started in summer 2019, but was massively slowed down due to illness in my close family. However, with the Covid-19 quarantine situation the world is facing at the moment, I’ve found some time to resume the physical work in the apartment and create these interior posts for the digital realm.
We are taking one room at a time since we are living here while the renovation undertakes. There is no doubt that going somewhere else while getting all rooms done at the same time would be the most time-efficient solution, however, since our apartment is rental there are obvious limitations to the level of renovation that is possible and meaningful, why the one-by-one approach seemed best suited.

BEDROOM
Our bedroom is quiet, north-east facing and catches a bit of morning light. It has a big built-in closet (which needs an upgrade one day) and original, light herringbone flooring that we want to keep.
In terms of the atmosphere in the bedroom I wanted to create a calm and harmonic resting environment where we can find comfort and a really good night of sleep. When pinning inspiration on Pinterest I was inspired by and gravitated towards light, earthy-toned bedrooms with beds you wouldn’t be able to resist crawling into. To be completely honest my biggest dream would be a light and airy bedroom with huge floor to ceiling windows opening up to an ocean or forrest view. But since we’re still living in inner Copenhagen this scenario will have to wait a bit.
So instead to create and mimic the light and airy feeling, we’ve gone for a color palette composed by neutral - yet warm - tones, that we both feel will remain relevant and suit our taste for a long period of time. We’ve been back and forth between painting just one wall, all the walls or walls and ceiling the same color, and we’ll see how much courage we have as the room progresses. In terms of the smaller, decorative details we hope to include more colorful, organic and tactile textures and items to break the beige/sandy theme and bring in the feeling of nature, but without it getting too rustic.
