Short description: You do not need to do a major makeover to lend comfort and style to your bedroom. A little elbow grease and some knack into using items you already have and adding a few more in the lot can go a long way to stylishly dress up and increase the coziness in your bedroom.
As the space in your home where you often lay down to sleep and serves as a relaxing escape against life's daily grind, your bedroom is one of the rooms that you should always take the time to update. At
the most, you would want to make it comfortable and relaxing without sacrificing its aesthetics.
While you might be thinking of doing major remodeling to style up and double the coziness in your bedroom, there are actually quick and modest solutions you can do to pull together a cozy and stylish looking bedroom. Here are some tips to help you get started.
Throw out the clutter
This tip is an obvious one. But, if you are like other busy homeowners, you have probably overlooked the fact that a clean bedroom can also equate to a stylish and cozy space. Hence, start making your bedroom spic and span. Remove items – including clothes – that you think you will not be using and only keep the ones that you need. Arrange the things that you have in your closet and drawers to allow for better organization. A little vacuuming here and there can also go a long way to make your bedroom looking good as new.
Frame the headboard with a canopy
A stylish and cheap way to make your bedroom cozy and elegant is to frame your bed's headboard with a canopy. Simply attach two swing-arm curtain rods on the ceiling right above your headboard. Then, loosely drape a long sheer fabric of your own color choice for that romantic and cozy finish.
Paint a focal wall
In order to make the illusion of depth and at the same time add warmth to your bedroom, try painting a single wall. Pick a color that is a striking contrast to the rest of the color of your bedroom's walls, so that it will pop out against the space. Then paint it on the wall behind your bed or the wall in front of it.
Lay an area rug
No decorative element screams stylish and cozy better than an area rug. Hence, find an area rug that is soft underfoot and has a pattern or color that complements the existing style of your bedroom. Then lay it on the floor beside your bed. It will not be difficult to find an area rug, especially handmade ones, as there are numerous stores online that offer them at prices you can afford. If you know where to look, you can even score an area rug for less than $50.
Add mirrors
A bedroom that is bright and shimmers is an inviting space to lay down and rest. Hence, strategically hang mirrors on your bedroom walls. Or, simply hang an oversize piece on a wall where no window is installed to create view in an otherwise empty space. Beyond lending beauty to the space, mirrors serve the practical purpose of diffusing natural light into the room, making it bright.
Accessorize using items you already have and love
Your bedroom is great place where you can display your personal collections such as family photographs. You can place the photos on varying frame sizes of same color and use them to dress up a wall. How you put them together depends on your personal style and preference. If you have open shelves, use them to display other decorative pieces. Accessorizing your bedroom with the things that you love is a great way to surround yourself with memories and also works well in defining a cozy and stylish space that you can call your own.
