Stained glass windows can completely transform the interior of your home. They will find application in every room and help make your home cozy and its design unique. The bedroom is an important place in the house: here the owners relax after a hard day, restore strength, spend time with their significant other, it is a place of relaxation and solitude. Colored glass can transform this room, making it truly special.
Window material
All windows are divided depending on the material from which they are made:
- plastic
- wooden
Both materials have both pros and cons, so the answer to the question of which windows in the bedroom are better - plastic or wood - depends on how important the owner of the room finds them.
So, the material: wood and polyvinyl chloride. Both materials meet the standards, but the second is more environmentally friendly.
Thermal conductivity of the frame is 0.1 W/m*K. wooden window, against – 0.2 W/m*K. plastic window.
The shape options, service life and wear resistance of a double-glazed window are greater than those of a wooden window.
A wooden frame requires more maintenance than double glazing. Well, the last comparison is the price - plastic is cheaper than wood.
Decorating the walls and ceiling
A stylish bedroom is unthinkable without modern design solutions, including high-tech finishes. Bedroom ceiling decor is difficult to do with your own hands, but some elements are quite accessible:
- the effect of a night sky with painted stars, where luminous paint is used;
- original lighting from a perforated lampshade (openwork pattern on a smooth ceiling);
- stained glass inserts illuminated from inside give the illusion of skylights;
- finishing with unusual materials or adding new inclusions to traditional mixtures;
- zoning of the bedroom with color differentiation along the ceiling;
- suspended structures, decorative beams and modern lamps mounted on a rod near the upper plane;
- Handmade modeling from gypsum-based plaster is the embodiment of any idea.
It’s even better to embody ideas on the walls. On 4 vertical planes there is more area, wider possibilities, it is easier to draw and fix fragments of decor at the head of the bedroom or near the window. When they want to do something quickly and inexpensively for the holiday, they use vinyl stickers or a three-dimensional paper applique for the walls or a hanging sign made of large letters.

The easiest way is to frame interesting images and place them in the most appropriate place. Paintings, prints of optical illusions, photos from a good angle, and the author’s experience in fine arts are suitable. Wall painting is often used as bedroom decor. It seems that it is difficult, but there are simple and beautiful sketches that you want to look at for a long time. They can be easily moved to a free wall - at the head of the bed or opposite the bed.
Tip: If you don’t have artistic skills, use a stencil or transfer the contours across the cells, enlarging the drawing. A good example is the “Gaze” pattern at the headboard, suitable for a bedroom, transferred with an increase in scale.
Stencils can be used multiple times - flowers, leaves, fruits, birds, butterflies. When applied to the wall, the gap is painted with a roller or wide brush. The contours are outlined with a thin brush or marker, the background is created by spraying paint.

The easiest way is to use photo wallpaper for decoration in the bedroom. The selected landscape will delight the eye all year round. The only drawback is that the principle of seasonality is violated. It is impossible to change the summer in the image to another season without deciding to re-stick the wallpaper. But you can choose a cityscape - New York, London or Paris on the wall will not confuse those admiring their architecture in any weather.
When plans do not include frequent changes in bedroom decor, preference is given to thorough finishing with expensive textured plaster, frescoes or patterns on flexible stone. This work is entrusted to specialists, but it is better to prepare the wall and select the image yourself. Unusual wall painting or original designer decor on the bedroom wall can look very extravagant. You can vary the pigment added to liquid wallpaper and decorative plaster to get something original.

Inconvenient bedroom layout
Particular problems arise if the room is corner and has two windows, or the original layout is unsuccessful and three doors lead from the bedroom (to the corridor, bathroom and dressing room.). The difficulty is not only that there is only one place left for the bed, but also that the room has a rather uncomfortable appearance.

For a non-standard layout, a non-standard solution is suitable. Opening the window will not be very convenient, but in exchange for this minor inconvenience, it becomes possible to use the rest of the space.
To make the room more comfortable, designers recommend using curtains as a canopy. This will soften the interior, and a carefully selected background of the bed by the window will add a touch of romance. The same technique can be used in a bedroom without windows.

Classic curtains in the bedroom
Such curtains will fit perfectly into any interior, you just need to choose the right color and texture of the fabric.

Bedroom wall decoration
When decorating the bedroom walls, it is best to cover them with wallpaper or paint them in neutral pastel colors. Such a universal solution for wall decoration will allow you to easily select bed linen, curtains, and furniture. It is recommended to choose plain sheets and colored blankets, or vice versa. This will allow you to avoid excessive diversity and increase the number of variations and combinations of bed design.
Pay special attention to the design of a bedroom for children, a children's room. Colors surround a child literally from the first minutes of his life. His bed, curtains on the windows, the color of the walls of the children's room become the first area of his research. Pictures, photos hung on the walls, and drawings on bed linen often become characters in children's dreams. Avoid bright, colorful colors on the walls of the children's room. Pastel, soft colors have a calming effect on anyone, not just a child, and help overly excitable children fall asleep faster. No matter how much you like the practicality of dark shades, do not buy black, purple or gray bedding for children and do not use these colors when decorating a child's bedroom. They have a depressing effect on the children's nervous system.

Important rules for bedroom design
The bedroom is a special room, and it is highly undesirable for it to combine other rooms. Due to the lack of free space, an accountant's office, a dressmaker's workshop, where clothes are used as decor in the bedroom, are moved here. There may be a computer desk, an aquarium incubator, a dressing room and a library. It’s good if not all at once, but many mothers also place the baby’s crib next to them.
There are 2 solutions:
- Relieve the functionality of the bedroom and emphasize with decor that this is a place to relax.
- Rethink the room as much as possible in terms of zoning.
Maximum relaxation and relaxation is the main idea of decorating a bedroom, no matter what style it is decorated in.

A bright room will give only positive emotions
A place to sleep is the basis of a bedroom, regardless of where the owners sleep. Everything should “revolve” around it. It’s very convenient when the most necessary things are at arm’s length, and the secondary wall decor in the bedroom, made with your own hands, can be conveniently viewed from the opposite side.
You should not overload your consciousness with bright elements; there is nothing in this room that should excite the imagination, with the exception of paintings of erotic content or other “hints”. The priority is your favorite color, but in calm shades, even if it is red or purple. An important role is given to textiles and decor, which visually expand the dimensions of a small bedroom. If the room is very large, it is important to properly delimit the space so that it does not look empty and uninviting.

Roller blinds, pleated blinds and Roman blinds
This subtype has completely different curtains for windows, but they are united by a similar mechanism. When opened, they are canvases, most often the size of a window, which can be adjusted using a mechanism.

Colored glass ceiling
Modern versions of stained glass windows are light and durable, which allows them not only to fill openings in the vertical structure of a house, but also to attach them to horizontal surfaces. Instead of the often used ceiling stucco in combination with a cascading chandelier, stained glass glazing of the ceiling is possible, which can emphasize the given interior style.

- Light sources are hidden;
- Electrical wiring is removed between the main ceiling and the decorative one;
- The height of the room decreases slightly;
- Possibility of illuminating different sectors of a glass composition, creating several design options instead of one;
- Selecting a stained glass image that matches the overall interior design.
Curtains by fabric type
When sewing curtains, both heavy, dense fabrics, such as polyester, jacquard or gabardine, and completely weightless materials, such as veil and organza, are used.
Natural or synthetic materials, the main thing is that the curtain fulfills its main function - protection from light.
Experts prefer elastic, easily draped fabrics, and the material should be durable and wear-resistant, since curtains are not changed often.

Translucent light-colored curtains can be used to decorate a low window. Strictness and the use of calm design and color make the room spacious.

Think about what you like best:
- a bohemian craftsman's workshop in boho style with a luxurious bed;
- a quiet cozy corner in the style of French Provence;
- chic apartments with white furniture;
- palace interior with a set on elegant gilded legs;
- metropolitan loft with a city panorama and a transformable bed;
- a Japanese geisha's room with a rock garden landscape behind a bamboo curtain;
- the chambers of an oriental dancer or the sultan’s concubine;

Bedroom design in Provence style
Golden rule: All decoration and accessories should emphasize the choice of one recognizable style. You shouldn’t have “a little bit of everything” - as a rule, these are large but unjustified costs for lush decor in the bedroom. An eclectic interior rarely succeeds, especially when there is no experience. A design with little decor, but all done skillfully and tastefully, will make your bedroom unique and elegant.
All components work for the overall design concept:
- decorating the walls and ceiling in the bedroom, finishing the floor;
- carpentry material (windows, doors, other wood for finishing);
- selection of furniture (how to update it);
- textiles (bed linen, bedspread, curtains, tulle, rug);
- accessories and decorative elements.
If the decoration is made with neutral materials, it is easier to vary the style. You can partially change the appearance of the room for the new season and the upcoming holiday, or even just to suit your mood. A radical stylistic transformation is done during renovation (major or cosmetic), but it costs much more than the original do-it-yourself bedroom decor.

Too bright shades or play of contrasts are not suitable for use in bedrooms - this will interfere with relaxation and sleep. But there are a great many options for using these wonderful designs made of colored glass and small mirrors. The result depends only on the taste and preferences of the bedroom owner.
