Bedroom Redesign- Using Psychology to Set the Right Mood
The happiest you’ll ever be now in the comfort of your bedroom!
It comes as no surprise that your bedroom decor has a monumental impact on your emotions. Design is so much more than how a room looks, it’s more about how a room makes you feel.
This has birthed an entire discipline in the field known as the psychology of interior design! In a newly renovated room using these principles of interior design psychology, with slight alterations to the color scheme, textures from the false ceiling design to the floor, layout, and textiles used in the room, tenants feel a tremendous change in their moods.
Questionnaire:
Take this questionnaire to see where your home currently stands on how it impacts your mood.
- What is the overpowering emotion evoked when you first enter your bedroom?
If you feel calm, relaxed, and happy, then your room could do with just a few minor tweaks. However, if you feel agitated, cramped, and disturbed, reconsider the different elements of the room and notice an immediate change.
- Do you feel like the room has good circulation?
Having enough fresh air and ample circulation has a considerable impact on your mood. With large windows and a good cycle of air circulation, you feel elated and happier than you would in a dark room devoid of circulation.
- Have you designated different zones in your room for rest, productivity, and sleep?
If there is an overlap of the zones meant for different purposes, your feeling of rest or productivity may be impacted. Be careful to keep distinct areas to maximize your intention in the zone. Areas of rest must be characterized by soft textures and angles while areas of focus like your office zone should have sharp angles and textures.
- Do the colors in your bedroom make you feel relaxed? Do the decor elements match that intention?
Right from the false ceiling design for your bedroom to the bed linens to the curtains and lampshades, every element of your bedroom’s design should put you in a state of relaxation.
Recommended Bedroom Colours
- Pink is a warm hue that comes highly recommended for the bedroom as it is a color that represents romance and love. Red may be a little overwhelming when overdone, but can be considered for an accent element in the bedroom.
- Green is a color synonymous with rest and this cool color is a known stress reliever making it a popular choice for the bedroom.
- Blue is a soothing cool color lending a feeling of calm. However, avoid pastel blues in a bedroom as they could clash and make the room too frigid.
- Light purple is another close cousin of blue that can make the room appear luxe and promote a sense of relaxation.
- Brown lends a warm and cozy feel which suits traditional decor styles.
- Grey is a current favorite shade in interior design circles for bedroom paint due to the edgy yet warm feel it evokes.
- White is a classic choice that makes the tenant feel calm and makes a room look airy and uncluttered.
If you’re designing an all-new bedroom, keep the elements of room psychology in mind when making a decision- and you’ll see the difference for yourself.

Things are looking up- All New Design Inspiration for the Ceiling
From false ceiling designs to ceiling fans and lights to impress!
A flat white may be your favourite order at a coffee shop, but they definitely shouldn’t be the two adjectives used to describe the ceiling design of your hall or bedroom! With this article, things up there are looking up for sure!
- False Ceiling Designs
False ceiling (otherwise known as fall ceiling or down ceiling) designs are an attractive addition to a living room or a bedroom to amplify the functionality and aesthetics of the space.
Most patrons who like to keep things simple yet classy or have a smaller room to work with select a uni-layered ceiling in a neutral shade. However, if you prefer a pop of colour or a more intricate design, that can be designed as well. For larger rooms, PVC or POP false ceiling designs can be made to create an impactful room.
- Lighting Fixtures
Lights can make or break the appearance of a room- so, prioritise the process of selecting lights for your living room or bedroom. Tubelights that were conventionally seen in homes have been replaced with fancier chandeliers and light fixtures.
In combination with a false ceiling design, cove lights or gimbals would be a wonderful option.
- Ceiling Fans
The latest designs of fancy ceiling fans redefine the word ‘cool’! Ranging from the sleek varieties with narrow propellers to the boho wide fan-shaped and curved vintage options. Some people opt to have a recessed fan within their false ceiling design or to skip the ceiling fan altogether and depend on an air conditioner unit for cooling instead.

DIY False Ceilings- Is putting up a ceiling going above your head?
Can you take up the DIY false ceiling challenge?
The DIY bug may have gotten you, big time! We understand- but putting a roof (or in this case, a false ceiling) above your head (in the literal sense of the word) is far more difficult than its idiomatic version.
If a false ceiling design has got your attention and do-it-yourself assignment has been part of your plan- go for it! The feeling of accomplishment on playing a part to build such an integral part of your home would be unparalleled. Here are just a few tips and tricks before you take on such an ambitious project:
Before you begin
- If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. These words ring especially true when it comes to any large-scale DIY process. Start off by creating a sketch of the room with apt measurements (length and width of ceiling and measurement from ceiling to wall for height estimation), tracing the lighting and electrical wiring.
- Be a harsh judge of your skills to put up a false ceiling. Don’t overestimate your strengths and don’t underestimate your weaknesses. Ask for help from peers who may be able to bridge those weaknesses when it comes to the areas you anticipate trouble with.
- Start the process off by scourging Pinterest for false ceiling designs that appeal to you. That’ll give you an idea of the material that appeals to you most. Do you prefer easy and simple POP or gypsum false ceiling designs or a PVC or wood false ceiling design? This is so you will know what exactly you’ll need to source for. The measurements help you plan for exactly how much of each material you would need.
- YouTube is a treasure trove of visual information where you can see others who are on a similar trajectory of installing a false ceiling by themselves. This gives you a chance to anticipate challenges, get a few tips and tricks and keep everything ready before you start. You will also become familiar with the technical terminology used in false ceiling installation.
- Research the two different types of false ceiling installation- would you need to build a wooden beam to support the false ceiling design or do you want a suspended false ceiling? See what works best in your space.
It’s Ceiling Time
- Get all your material ready. Keep all your resources at hand before you begin.
- First, install the wall supports and frame to ensure that the work that you do has a steady base. This is an important aspect from a safety standpoint. Make way for the lighting and electrical fixtures as you make the frame. Make sure the ceiling is level at this point of the process.
- Fit the sections of the ceilings, using clips for section joints.
- Wiring for lighting and other electrical fixtures are then installed.
- Use appropriate screws to attach your preferred ceiling material to the created framework.
- Finishing of the joints and edges is done.
- The electrical and lighting fixtures are then installed.
- Painting or pasting wallpaper can be done at this stage of the process to complete the false ceiling design!
When things don’t go as per plan
- Don’t hesitate to reach out to experts when you feel like things aren’t going as per plan. Aesthetic concerns aside, there is a huge safety aspect to consider when it comes to installing a false ceiling.
For a solution with a similar satisfaction level to a complete DIY but one that wouldn’t need you to get your hands dirty, find a designer that involves you in every step along the way of the planning and installation process of a home ceiling design. You select the style, you finalise the material, handshake on a budget for the DIY sake, the professionals then take charge and bring your vision to reality.
We would highly recommend this option- so that you can sit back, relax and watch the professionals install a false ceiling design chosen and customised, just for you. The designers at Bespoke Decor Kochi & Thrissur may be able to help you out that way!

All False Ceilings exorbitantly priced- True or False?
You may be surprised to find out that not all False Ceiling Designs warrant breaking the bank!
With the various types and materials of false ceilings available in the market today along with the additions that one could include, one may face confusion on how much of their budget to chalk out for a false ceiling design.
This article takes you through the nitty-gritties of false ceiling prices in India right from the different factors that influence their cost and the price of the different materials in Kochi (a Tier-II city).
Different factors influencing the price of false ceilings
If one was to invest in a false ceiling design for their living room, it is wise to remain aware of the factors that could potentially increase or decrease the cost. These include:
1.False ceiling design–
A more detailed and elaborate design will require more resources and material, thereby driving up the cost. If you’re trying to restrict your false ceiling budget, opt for an easy simple ceiling design. More complex designs with geometric shapes and/or layers will be a little more expensive.
2.Total area to be covered by the false ceiling-
This may seem obvious but it is a rather important aspect to consider when deciding on the budget to allot towards your false ceiling. Yes, larger areas will require more of a spend as compared to smaller ones. But the cost per sq ft of false ceiling materials will be lower for larger areas due to the bulk order it would necessitate.
3.Material used to create false ceiling design–
The materials that can be used to create false ceiling designs range from budget friendly gypsum and POP ceiling design to more expensive wooden ceiling design. If you opt for a wooden ceiling appearance, there are still cost differences within the category. PVC wood is the cheapest, plywood is mid-range and marine ply is slightly higher in price. Hardwood like teak or MDF would be highest on the price range.
4.Cost of raw materials used for false ceilings-
The cost of the different components used to manufacture the false ceiling design you have in mind greatly influences the final cost of the completed project. There are major differences in different parts of India- with the pricing higher in metro cities and lower in smaller towns. Most Keralite cities lie in the mid-budget range.
5.Fixtures-
All false ceilings are fitted with light fixtures and/or electrical components like fans. Apart from the cost of buying the fixture, the addition of wiring, lighting, finishing and cutting is labour intensive which would again add to the price.
Cost range per sq ft for different false ceiling materials

1. The Stripe Hype
If you want to tread lightly into the fascinating world of false ceiling designs, this thin striped beauty is a gypsum board false ceiling design which is also functioning as an additional source of ambient light in the living room would be a great start. If simplicity is something that you tend to gravitate towards in interior design, this might just be for you.
2. Beautiful Pockets of Sunlight
A false ceiling with lattice design in wooden tones functioning as a skylight is perfect for illuminating a doorway or prayer room, if not placed in your living room. The more intricate the pattern chosen, the busier it looks. Conceal lighting within the lattice in case you’re not working with direct sunlight. So, attempt to keep the pattern simple in rooms with grandeur and keep it as detailed in simple rooms to balance things off.
3. Knock on Wood
Wooden false ceiling designs retain a classic charm and grandeur that few other false ceiling options can replace. The traditional wooden look complements the architecture and interiors of most Indian homes. When fitted with cove lighting in warm tones, the room looks cosy and inviting!

Stained glass makes an artistic addition to the room as a false ceiling. The stained glass can be suspended on POP, gypsum or wooden bases on the false ceiling. They have an eye-catching effect and can often be a design showstopper. A little goes a long way.
Edge on the side of caution and be minimalist when it comes to the stained glass design or it could end up looking too loud and garish for the space.
