The living room certainly is one of the most important rooms in a home, however, it can be easily said that this gorgeous, cosy and entertaining room shares the first place with the bedroom. In the end, the bedroom is a cosy retreat, your sanctuary, and the only place where you can truly unwind without worries, so making it as cosy and appealing as possible is paramount.

Regardless of the style, your bedroom should evoke a feeling of relaxation, serenity and cosiness and this can be achieved with details. Even if you choose the most luxurious-looking bed, its beauty will stay unnoticed and ordinary without the right details. Luckily, there are some easy, simple and creative ways that can help you elevate the look of your bedroom.

Create a Statement Wall

The bedroom is the soul of your home, and so is the art. So just like Henry David Thoreau once said – “It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.”, let your imagination go wild and invest in an art piece to which you’ll emotionally connect. There’s nothing better than investing in things that make you feel good and calm, and this precisely is what you need for your bedroom.

Since this is a place designed for relaxation, you should look for serene and appealing art for bedroom walls, without any overwhelming and bold colours in it. A great example of this is some kind of abstract art that has simple tones of blue, beige, bamboo or any other colour in a lighter shade. The beauty of abstract art for bedroom walls lies in its ability to give people the chance to see what they want to see, just like the saying of Henry David Thoreau.

If you’re wondering what looks good on bedroom walls aside from abstracts, you should certainly check landscape bedroom art. Landscapes are also a great option for bedrooms because just like abstracts, they have the ability to provide you with peace of mind. According to interior designers, when searching for the right bedroom wall art, you should keep in mind the bedding and throw pillow hues. Their colours should go well in order to create a harmonious and cosy atmosphere in your bedroom.

Since wall art for bedrooms is available in different sizes and shapes, you should certainly consider what kind and how many art pieces you want to install on the wall. You can either go with one oversized wall art that acts as the room’s focal point or you can pick several smaller pieces and arrange them in an interesting manner in order to create a statement gallery wall.

Invest in Luxuriously Soft Bedding

Getting the most out of your sleep, rest and beauty naps is possible if you do it on a comfy bed with as soft as cotton bedding. And while its softness certainly plays the biggest role in improving your sleep, you shouldn’t forget about its appearance. Your sheets/cover colours and designs can certainly make or break the look of your bedroom, so making sure you choose appealing ones is crucial. Aside from taking into account the room’s overall décor and used colour, you should also take into account the room’s size in order to pick a bed linen colour that’ll tie the whole bedroom’s look.

When trying to make a smaller bedroom look bigger, you should stick to warm neutral tones that can also act relaxing and calming. Interior designers state that colours like beige, ecru and shades of blush can make your bedroom look expansive while not making it look smaller. The lighter the colour, the airier the bedroom, so make sure to stick to choosing light neutrals when having a smaller bedroom.

Regarding the design, you can look for a bed linen with larger scale patterns. One of the most favoured ones is the striped bed linen which usually comes in the same colour but in a different shade in order to add contrast. If the room’s size isn’t a problem at all, then you have all the freedom to pick a bed linen in whatever colour and pattern you like. The only thing that stays the same is to choose bedclothes from natural and soft materials like cotton and bamboo. But if you’re willing to pay more in order to sleep comfortably while making your bed look and feel more luxurious, then you should certainly invest in silk bed sheets and covers.

Add a Rug Under Your Bed

When it comes to decorating a bedroom and making it feel cosy and relaxing, aside from the aforementioned things, you also shouldn’t forget about the rug. These floor coverings are one of the few pieces that give warmth and cosiness to your bedroom.

And even though in the past their use was only meant for other rooms like the living room and dining room, nowadays, they are an irreplaceable part of a bedroom. Without splurging, an extra cozy and stylish rug can transform your bedroom into the cosiest and most eye-catching space in your home. The right type of floor cloth can add a layer of texture to your bedroom and we all know how layering can beneficially affect any room.

This floor cover also has the power to ground any space of the home, especially the bedroom with its huge range of colours, shades and designs. You can literally choose from everything, however, you should stick to more serene tones and designs. You can certainly play with the pattern itself, however, it’s best to pick one in one colour.

Aside from their visual appeal and ability to literally transform the look of your bedroom, they can also improve your sleep and protect the floor. Regardless of their thickness, these unique floor coverings have the ability to absorb sound, contributing to the room’s serenity. This, on the other hand, will contribute to improved sleep and overall well-being.

And lastly, this eye-catching bedroom décor also has the power to protect the flooring from daily wear and tear. The only thing you should do in order to obtain all of this is to position it properly under your bed. The size of the chosen mat is closely related to the size of your bed and room, so make sure to take everything into account before making the final choice.
