With a new season upon us, you might be wanting to spruce up your bedroom to add a little charm and "newness" to your space. Here's some tips to decorating your bedroom by adding some charm and elegance.
1. BEDROOM FURNITURE
Your bedroom furniture is what makes the biggest impression on you, first thing in the morning, and at the end of each day. You'll want to add pieces to your bedroom that you'll love, unique pieces that add character and charm to your personal space.
Canopy Beds
A modern style canopy bed can add a lot of simple beauty into your bedroom. Use a four-poster frame that is clean and matches your current finishes. A simple design allows you to dress up the bed as you please. Keep it clean for a masculine touch, or add a soft look by hanging gauzy panels.
Daybed
Have an empty corner in your bedroom? You can consider adding a traditional style daybed and bring it to life with an elegant French countryside flair. Add lots of layered pillows and throws to bring out the character of your set.
Antiques
Don't be afraid to incorporate antique pieces throughout your modern decor. Adding a fun vintage trunk or even an antique dresser with a crisp bedding set can really coordinate a beautiful theme. Antiques can give your bedroom a lot of personality and provide a conversation piece.
2. LUXURY BEDDING
Sometimes, all a bed need is a new bedding set. Brands these days carry an array of fabric options, allowing you a large variety of textures and patterns to fit any bedroom style or mood.
Silk Bedding
If you want to do something outside of cotton sheeting, you can add a luxurious touch with some silk bedding. It's naturally hypoallergenic and provide a less friction sleep on your skin. Silk is beautiful and really stands out in a bedding set.
Linen Bedding
If you want a more lived-in look, linen helps achieve that in a modern and classic way. Use neutral colors to create a layered look that's simple and relaxed.
Cable Knit Bedding
Expanding beyond the typical sofa throw, cable knit blankets are soft enough to use as your coverlet and add the right amount of texture for your decorative shams. Cable knits are the perfect blend of practicality, elegance, and comfort.
3. BEDROOM DECOR
Your bedroom furniture and bedding have a large role in making your master functional, but it's the little things that will really bring out the personality and charm. Consider the type of mood you want your bedroom to have and decorate to match that mood. Do you want a dark cozy room? Do you want a spa like feel? Or do you prefer a beach theme? Whichever mood you want to go with, adding decorative pieces can bring it together.
Throws & Quilts
Piling up on extra blankets can be a great way to add decorative pieces throughout your bedroom, that can also be functional. Quilts and silks add a cozy element to the room, where as cotton can add a modern clean feel. Drape bed scarfs over chairs to add a lived-in look.
Flowers & Candles
The aroma of fresh flowers or a lit scented candle can help you unwind and enjoy the quiet moments in your bedroom. Scents can elevate the mood, but they also help you relax. Get one that isn't too strong, can be enjoyed long term, and fit's into the decorative mood of your room.
Style Your Nightstand
Keep your nightstand free of cords and electronics. Clutter can bring a negative mindset, and when it's the first place you look at in the morning, you want to keep the electronics and mess off your tables. Add a stack of timeless books, an elegant tray, or a decorative pieces of art. Only keep the necessities, like reading glasses, a glass of water, or your favorite book.
Adding a few personal touches can warm up any space and turn it into a retreat. Enjoy your sanctuary!
