The bedroom should be a place of comfort, as this is a place where you do spend quite a bit of time! It should have an ambiance that suggests relaxation, and help you unwind from a busy day and transition into a mode of rest. There are many simple upgrades that can help improve the look and feel of your bedroom, and even your quality of sleep. So lets get started with an eye on making the best bedroom possible, shall we?

Choose The Right Bed And Bedding

The key to enjoying your bedroom is ensuring that it’s not only beautiful but comfortable.  There are so many ways you can achieve this and among the most important includes investing in the right mattress, as well as the right bedding. There’s a lot to learn from the folks over at  Vision Bedding as they suggest that choosing the right bedding will help to revitalize your bedroom atmosphere. You have pillows, throw pillows, sheets, duvets and throws, that can bring style and comfort to your bedroom. Additionally, there are options like a tufted or curved headboard that can help give elegance to your linens. And don’t forget to cover any box springs or basic bed frames with something attractive and in keeping with the bedroom style you’ve chosen. Flouncy bed skirts can look great in country style or traditional bedrooms, but a clean modern space needs something different.

You can also decide to make artwork the focal point in your space. It could be a series of art, or beautiful photography that evokes serenity. A large piece of art over the bed can be dramatic or peaceful, depending on your choice. A beautiful landscape or an abstract painting in muted colors might be a great choice for a bedroom.

Color Updates

Choosing color that sets the tone you desire, is one of the most effective ways of customizing your bedroom. Did you know that you could, with a simple touch of paint, warm up your bedroom?  If you are looking to add simple and elegant hues to your room, then there are various choices you can consider. These include:  

• Use expressive colors – Find the combination of colors that make you happy and paint them on the walls of your bedroom. For instance, if you love fresh interiors, why not use a shade of light green on a feature wall?
  
• Go neutral – You can transform your space with colors that create a backdrop for whatever else you choose to put in the room. These might include black, white, gray, and ivory
• Try pastels – Using the pastel colors gives your space a serene and relaxing feeling. Some of the best choices are greens, yellows, lavenders, and soft blues to mention but a few. Consider painting the ceiling a very light blue, it is a fun touch that is barely noticeable, and yet special.
  

Bedroom Furniture

Fabulous furniture can make your bedroom feel like you’ve gone on location to an exotic location. You don’t have to break your budget to purchase amazing furniture. Instead, you can find collections from affordable furniture stores or even flea markets. Whether you are working on a high or low budget, you can go for a style that speaks elegance. If you find it hard to locate a store that fits within your range of budget, go online and find a store that will accommodate your needs. Add a few ethnic pieces with luxurious or interesting detail to give that added touch that is uniquely you.

Bedroom Lighting

Lighting is one of the most important elements in any room, as it sets the tone, and determines functionality in the hours after dark.Table lamps andr overhead lighting are of course the basics, though there are other lighting options to consider such as floor lamps, and even a pendant lamp hanging to the side of the bed. Lighting in layers will illuminate the room, creating the perfect mood. Some experts in lighting also recommend the use of ornate chandeliers and wall scones to bring about intimacy and relaxation, and a feeling of luxury.

Using Natural Elements

Depending on your personal style, using natural elements in the bedroom can create the oasis you’ve been dreaming of. This can be easily achieved by adding houseplants in a range of sizes, ranging from potted plants to moss terrariums.  You can make your room feel fresher than ever before by using plants as your primary decorative element, just make sure to include a bunch of sizes, including of course something large, something possibly hanging, and something that is sweet and delicate. Just make sure to evaluate the daytime light levels in your bedroom and choose the plants that are suited to that.

Accessorizing 

Without the right accessories, your bedroom can look basic and unfinished. Avoid this by adding  glamor to your bedroom with modern accessories. Consider using architectural accents that have an elegant appeal. Ceiling medallions are also a great accessory for bedroom spaces. Framed pictures and mirrors as well as metallic accessories  give a feeling of luxury. And of course even an inexpensive canopy looks amazing.

A bedroom is your personal space and should always be a place that you love. I hope the above tips  help point you in the right direction when it comes to decorating and customizing your bedroom. It really isn’t difficult, start by looking at photographs of rooms you love, and take it from there. Enjoy the process and don’t take it too seriously, after all most of the time you spend in that room is with your eyes closed!
