Finding a Compromise With Décor and Spacing
Cathie Hong
When you're trudging through the long workday, do you often dream of falling into bed and picture yourself blissfully asleep as motivation? Your primary bedroom is your sanctuary, so it may be where you spend most of your time decorating and perfecting. But the challenge comes when decorating a primary bedroom as a couple—who may not always agree on décor.
Especially for newly married couples, bedroom decorating should be a team effort to create a space you both truly enjoy. The good news is that you and your beloved don't have to agree on everything when it comes to design, and with a little effort, you can still learn how to style a couple's bedroom that you both love by making your space feel intimate.
We've rounded up a few of our favorite ideas and called in a few experts to get their advice on room decorating ideas for couples.

One way to start is to figure out what the single must-have piece is for both of you. When Cait Pappas, founder, and lead stylist at Nest Out West, has a bedroom project for a couple, she always asks them, "What is the most important element, piece, or change you'd like to see in this space?"
This can be a great way to find common ground, lay the groundwork for your bedroom décor, and figure out where you should compromise—and where you shouldn't.
"Encouraging couples to compromise in areas that are not the most important elements to them can help ease the process of blending design styles together if a couple doesn't share the same style," Pappas says.

If neither of you has particularly strong feelings about what the design style in your bedroom should be, consider a contemporary, streamlined look. An upscale, modern bedroom is unassuming enough to appeal to the majority while still feeling chic, elegant, and welcoming.

When it comes to simple bedroom decorating ideas for couples, sometimes a minimalistic look is exactly what you need. By paring down the décor in your primary bedroom, you can create a lovely, cozy space—and avoid any clashes between different tastes and design styles. Keeping your design to the basics is also a great way to make your bedroom feel intimate by focusing less on the furnishings and more on your partner.

According to Pappas, neutral color schemes are best for a couple's bedroom.
A neutral shade not only appeals to various design styles, but it can be a calming choice in your bedroom. "The bedroom isn't meant to be a mentally stimulating space; it's where you're supposed to find enough of a sense of calm to get a good night's sleep," she says.

Bedroom décor should not just be beautiful—it should also be functional. Placing a stylish sconce on each side of the bed not only adds a touch of style, but it also helps you balance the lighting. This is key to creating a comforting design. For couples organizing a small bedroom, a great tip is to make each side of the room's spacing feel equal: Leave walking room on both sides of the bed, add storage for each partner, and ensure both parties feel comfortable.

One of the best bedroom design ideas for couples is to incorporate elements from each person's style. While it may seem unlikely that you and your partner's wildly different tastes can somehow come together in harmony, it's possible, and Whittney Parkinson of Whittney Parkinson Design agrees.
"I don’t like to put rules on design because I feel if any design (regardless of style mixing), is executed correctly, magic can happen," she says.
"When [mixed design spaces] are thoughtfully curated and balanced, they can be the most incredible, unique representation of the owner," she continues. Taking a few risks and blending unlikely design trends together (say maximalism and Scandi, for example) can create the perfect personalized space for a couple.

Black and Blooms
One of the best ways to help a bedroom feel grounded and soothing is to add greenery into the space. Even if only one of you has a green thumb, it's hard not to love waking up to a wall of fresh, vibrant plant life every day.

If you're finding that mixing different design styles is simply not working, try to find one key element to weave throughout the space.
"Finding a common thread is important to ensure the space doesn’t feel off-balance," says Parkinson.
"Whether that be through color palette or textiles, find a way for the two styles to speak to one another."

Finding a bit of common ground in your bedroom is key to creating a harmonious design. Pick out a beautiful piece of artwork together, or find a token from one of your vacations that you both love, and display it front and center. This can be a great starting point for decorating the rest of your room together.

Few things add more romance or more ambiance as easily as a candle does. Splurge on a few candles in scents you both love (this is key!) and layer them throughout your room on nightstands or dressers for an easy touch of romance.

Once you've agreed on which design styles to blend together, it's time to add a bit of romance to the vibe. There are many ways to add a touch of romance to bedroom décor for couples, but according to Pappas, one of the best ways is through texture.
"My primary piece of advice would be to consider the textures you're pulling in," she says. "Layers of cozy blankets, an assortment of candles or dimmable light fixtures, florals, and a beautiful area rug to ground the space all help bring romance into a bedroom."

If you have the space, adding an accent chair to your bedroom can be a great way to give the room more usable space for both you and your partner. Whether you use it for getting ready in the morning or reading a book at night, a seating area in a primary bedroom can add a lot of elegance (just don't let it disappear under a pile of laundry).

Arbor & Co.
Not everyone has the same taste in art, but Pappas thinks one great way around this is by decorating your walls with unlikely art. "I'm always a big fan of bringing in art that takes you by surprise," she says. Some of her favorite ideas? A collection of "his and hers" hats, a vintage rug mounted to the wall, or an interesting plant holder hung from the ceiling.
30 Relaxing Primary Bedroom Ideas That Will Make You Want to Redecorate ASAP
7 comfortable ideas — INMYROOM
Getting down to business, you may encounter difficulties: when decorating the interior, you will not only have to rely on your own taste, but also take into account the wishes of your partner. How to make the room feel spacious and comfortable for both of you? We have collected 7 ideas that will help you to cope with an important task.
1. What is the ideal bedroom?
Thinking through the design of the bedroom, decide together what this place will be. A cozy mink where you can hide from the noise and worries of the metropolis? A passion room or a place to relax where you can eat, listen to music and watch TV right in your bed? Or maybe you are so busy that the bedroom turns out to be an extension of your office (if your partner doesn't mind, of course)? nine0003
Everything will depend on your decision: how you zone the room, what palette you will bet on, how you arrange the furniture, what will be the lamps, textiles and even decor.

2. Think over the layout together
Like any other room, the bedroom can be divided into zones. The main area, of course, will be the bedroom, but if the size of the room allows, then the room also often arranges a storage area, that is, a wardrobe, and a work area. A small table and chair can be placed as far away from the bed as possible, creating an invisible barrier between rest and work. nine0003
First of all, evaluate the size, shape and proportions of the room. Notice where the door and window are. And now - the crucial moment: decide where to put the bed. Its head part should rest against the wall, on the sides, let there be enough space for passage on both sides, and the first rays of the sun should not fall directly on the pillow.

3. Simple arithmetic
Where you place the bed will determine where you put the rest of the furniture - a wardrobe, bedside tables, perhaps a dressing table or a computer table.
The number of pieces of furniture, except for the bed and wardrobe, mentally multiply by two: our motto is equality. This also means that any object should be easy to approach, so if there is not enough space, it is better not to try to fit everything in the room. nine0003
Design: Oksana Tsymbalova
4. The choice of furniture is important
When choosing furniture, it makes sense to take into account the proportions of the room: a king size bed is suitable for a spacious bedroom, but in a small room it will take up all the space - it is better to stop your choice on a simple double bed. Keep in mind that her style will dictate the style of decorating the entire room: wood frame or metal, vintage or modern style - all this is decided by the bed (more precisely, your taste and budget). nine0003
The second most important piece of furniture in the bedroom is the wardrobe. Ideally, this will be a built-in wardrobe with mirrored doors that will help visually expand the space: then you can put all things (both his and yours) into it, which will help free up space for life.

5. The right tone
The atmosphere in the room will depend on the color of the finish you choose. For the bedroom, the pros advise choosing muted tones. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that dark colors look advantageous only in spacious bedrooms - they create a feeling of being somewhat isolated from the world, as if this room is just for the two of you. nine0003
But if the room is small, it is better to rely on lighter colors - they will add air and space. Cream, pearl gray, sand are cozy colors that are suitable for two.

trying to add elements of your favorite color - this is textiles. Textured bedspreads - linen or silk, for example - will help diversify the texture of surfaces, add comfort. nine0003
By the way, texture is not only textiles: natural materials will help to revive neutral colors.
Wood, bamboo, stone can be used for surface finishing, lamps or decor.
Design: Anna Serskova, YOH architects
7. Now let's talk about the decor
Thinking about the decor is almost as important as choosing the right mattress: the photos and objects you choose will give the room a personality. And it is about him that it is often difficult to agree. nine0003
To decide ahead of time how you will decorate your bedroom, try creating a "mood board" where you put photos of all the bedrooms you like and the decorative items you like. After that, it remains to show the board to your partner - let him determine what he also likes from what you have chosen, and what (for example, decorative pillows with delicate roses) he categorically does not want to see in his bedroom.

Expert opinion
It would seem that a TV is not the most necessary thing in a bedroom. However, interactive digital television can help you relax and create an intimate atmosphere.
1. How about a romantic movie?
You don't have to buy a ticket and leave your house to feel like you're in the last row of the cinema. Just connect Digital TV from MGTS and all new movies in good quality at your disposal. Do you want an old Soviet or American film? Choose your favorite movie in excellent quality from a selection of the Video on Demand service and enjoy watching anytime. nine0003
2. Moments you want to repeat
Want to pause while watching but are afraid miss the fun? The interactive possibilities of television will adjust broadcast according to your schedule. With the “Record TV”, “TV pause” and “Replay-TV” functions, you can not only return to the broadcast at the place where you left off, but also watch the programs that were shown over the past three days.
3. Musical pause
For an unforgettable evening, you need musical accompaniment: it is not at all necessary to buy additional equipment - a TV will cope with this task.
A modern TV set-top box will turn it into a multimedia center: you can watch movies, listen to music or run a slideshow of family photos “on the big screen”. If you store a song or photo archive in the cloud on the network, use the Home Internet on a tablet or laptop. MGTS provides excellent speed even over Wi-Fi. nine0003
Things to consider: TV wires on the wall do not contribute to the romantic atmosphere at all - consider this point at the repair stage. At the entrance to the apartment, provide a place for an optical Wi-Fi modem with a 220 V socket and lay a hidden UTP cat 5 cable from it to the TV. If the repair is already completed, the TV can be connected to the home Internet network via a PLC adapter.
