As we kick off 2023, you may be feeling like it’s time to make some major changes around the home and get those projects that you’ve been meaning to do underway. A great place to start that doesn’t have to be involved or expensive can be your bedroom, so let’s take a look at how you can elevate your sleeping quarters in no time at all.
Your style, your way
You may feel like the rooms in your house fit your aesthetic, but you’re likely to always have a level of presentation in the back of your mind for when visitors come around. When it comes to your bedroom, it is likely to be the one place where you want to feel truly comfortable – and as it has the capacity to be your sanctuary, you can really let your personality shine at the same time.
Comfy, cozy elements with pizzazz
The first thing to think about when upping your bedroom game is your headboard. There are so many options on the market for a range of prices, and it may be worth considering that bold patterns can act as a focal point, where more neutral tones can let statement pieces really shine. If you opt for something unique, this should be where you begin to build the design elements for the rest of the room.
The next aspect to consider is the cozy textural elements that will make you feel warm and relaxed. A great place to start with this is your bed, where a goose down comforter can feel luxurious, soft and really make you feel like you’ve added an expensive element for a great price. Pair it with a high thread count cotton or linen duvet cover and sheets that either match or compliment the headboard and add some plush pillows and soft throws in keeping with the theme you choose.
Moving away from the bed area, it may be time to think about dressing the walls. An emerging trend in the last few years is textile wall coverings. This could come in the form of a large tapestry or a smaller, woven pennant depending on your tastes and the wall space you have available. These options are often fairly inexpensive, yet visually impressive.
Small furniture upgrades with a high impact
To help keep your budget low, adding small pieces of furniture can be a good idea. An ottoman can be a fantastic choice as it can double up as storage or even seating for extra value for money. You can opt for plush velvet in a host of rich colours or go more natural with wicker or similar materials. A vertical storage ladder is another great way to add storage to your bedroom without adding a more permanent solution – and you can dress it with small decor pieces to tie the rest of the room together.
Great greenery
Don’t forget to bring some natural energy into your space with beautiful, low-effort plants that can purify the air and improve sleep quality. Try Boston Fern, Golden Pothos, or Spider plants that will thrive in low-light conditions and with little care.
