The bedroom is considered a personal sanctuary in the house. It’s our own private space where we can do whatever we want. It’s the only space that no one but you is allowed. So, it should be a place where you feel relaxed and comfortable. But sometimes, this space can get dull and is in need of some upgrades. This doesn’t have to be a full floor-to-ceiling renovation. By changing only a few things you can make your bedroom your favourite space again.
Comfortable Bed Sheets
Your bed is probably the centrepiece of the bedroom. It’s big enough to be noticed and big enough to make a difference in the bedroom’s aesthetics. Always consider the materials first. This will determine the level of comfort you’ll enjoy, the quality of your sleep and how good your bed looks. Cotton is an obvious material for many people and for a good reason. It’s soft, breathable and has good insulation properties.
It’ll keep you cool in the summer and warm during the winter. Plus, it’s super simple to clean and maintain. Linen is another popular option people love. It’s ideal for warm climates like the Australian one. It’s cooling, lightweight, very soft and extremely durable. Buying a couple of high-quality stylish bed linen sets will be the best investment you’ve made in a while.
Silk is another option that will work perfectly for the Australian climate. Even though it’s smooth and thin it’ll maintain the perfect body temperature. Some people don’t like it because it’s slippery and it can slide down from time to time. Avoid synthetic materials because they’re not breathable and can irritate your skin.
The next thing to consider is the style, colour and pattern of the sheets. Do you want to completely change your style, just want a small upgrade or do you want to stay true to your current preference? Buying neutral colours can work in almost any setting. They can either complement some other neutral elements or help you tone down a bright palette of colours around the bedroom.
Black bedsheets combined with a white quilt cover or bedspread will instantly turn the bedroom into a sophisticated and luxurious space. You can combine them with any other colour to make them stand up even more. You can’t go wrong with white sheets. They’ll create a calm and relaxing atmosphere you’ll enjoy. Create the ultimate bedding experience by buying the sheets that will make you happy and comfortable at the same time.
Try Wallpaper
A wallpaper can be a great way to breathe new life into your bedroom. You can play with it and make it as subtle or as bold as you want. There are some guidelines you should adhere to regarding pattern, design, and colour if you choose wallpaper as your new change.
First, think about the mood you want to set. Calm and peaceful tones will give you the perfect colour palette and pattern for a bedroom. Pick easier, softer, smaller-scale designs so that you won’t strain your brain or eyes right before bed. Big prints have the power to take over a space. If you want something more traditional, something that classifies as a classic, go for trailing designs.
If you have a low ceiling some vertical lines will make them seem taller. If the space is too narrow, horizontal lines will visually expand it. If you decide to go for a large-scale pattern, add the wallpaper to just one wall. This will add interest to the space but not overwhelm the whole room.
Buy Storage Baskets
Storage baskets are a great addition to many bedrooms. They’re very practical and can store multiple things such as bed linen sets, magazines, pillows, or other items you don’t use as much. Some of them are quite big but they won’t get in the way if you put them in the corner of the room or next to the bed. You have plenty of shapes and sizes to choose from.
If you feel like you need a pop of colour in the neutral bedroom, these baskets can provide it. You can match their colour with the curtains, some artwork or even the bedside clock. You can also use them to add some neutral tones to your bright-coloured bedroom. They’re easy to carry around because most of them have handles. Choose the size according to your needs. If you’re storing magazines or books, buy a smaller one. If you store pillows and sheets buy a bigger one.
Change the Headboard
The headboard is probably the first thing that catches your eye when you enter the bedroom. Headboards are available in a variety of styles and designs and can be made of all kinds of materials. If you know what you’re looking for, it won’t be hard to find it. Take a look at the overall style of the room and choose the headboard’s style accordingly. Make sure it blends with the rest of the interior.
Getting a textured headboard is a great way to inject some style into the room. Depending on the design of the bedroom, anything with cross stitches, ripples, or perhaps a lovely metallic detail will work. You can coordinate it with the rug or the drapes. Even a massive black headboard will blend nicely with a similar bed sheet set.
How About Some Artwork?
If you want something that will allow you to express yourself, art is a good way to go. It gives you the opportunity to accentuate your personal style. Hanging artwork in your bedroom will give you something pretty to look at while you’re falling asleep. But keep in mind that the art piece shouldn’t be overstimulating or expressive. Otherwise, it may be challenging for you to fall asleep.
Still, it’s wise to follow your instincts. Go ahead and buy it if you find something attractive that you can gaze at for a while. Contrary to popular belief, art doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. There are several reasonably priced options available. Even if you’re not an artist, you can make one on your own. You can dive into an interesting DIY project.
Experts recommend going for soothing colours such as soft browns, light blue, white, green or yellow. Your eyes and mind will enjoy the sight of mountains, lakes, woods and fields. Take your time when choosing artwork. This is something that has to be pleasant for your eye and comforting to your brain.
