Upgrading The Bedroom

The bedroom should be a place of relaxation and peace, where we can escape the stresses of daily life and unwind in comfort. If the bedroom feels outdated or cluttered, it may be time for a revamp. Here are a few steps to getting the bedroom back to a place of respite - with a dash of style.

1) Declutter

As with most revamps, the first step is to remove any clutter. Go through all of your belongings and get rid of anything that you don't need or use regularly. This will help create a more spacious feel in the room and make it easier to visualize and design the space according to your preferences. In addition, decluttering can help create a more relaxed atmosphere in the room, which is really the end goal.

2) Add Natural Elements

We’re team biophilia all the way - bringing nature into the bedroom instantly gives it a more relaxed, harmonious feel. Try incorporating live plants, such as succulents or cacti, to add life to the room. You can also opt for dried flowers or branches that you can hang on walls or ceilings. The earthy tones of natural materials will help bring some warmth and tranquility to the space. Don't forget about adding wood elements too! Wooden furniture pieces or wall art can really tie a room together and provide a unique aesthetic that will make the bedroom stand out.

3) Replace or refurbish outdated furniture

Another way to instantly revamp your bedroom is to replace or refurbish any outdated or worn-out furniture pieces. Consider investing in high-quality bedding, such as a down comforter or duvet set, which will give the room an elevated look and feel and make getting into bed a true treat. Re-stain or replace old dressers or nightstands for more modern looks that match the style of the space. New bedding like the softest percale sheets as well as furniture pieces can really make a huge difference in transforming the bedroom and giving it a more relaxed and modern look.

4) Invest in quality items

Quality furniture will last longer and look better over time. When replacing anything in the bedroom, invest in pieces that are well-made and comfortable. Quality doesn’t always mean expensive either - vintage furniture is often better priced (depending on the style and scarcity) and is usually better quality as well. Additionally, try to stick with a specific style or theme when choosing furniture, as this will help give the room a more cohesive and modern look.

4) A Coat or Two of Paint

A fresh coat of paint can do wonders for a tired-looking room. Opt for neutral colors such as whites, off-whites, beige, and light gray, which will help create a sophisticated yet tranquil vibe. You can also incorporate accent walls with bolder hues to add a bit of color and drama to the room.

Revamping the bedroom can be a fun and rewarding experience. So take some time to declutter, add natural elements, replace old furniture, paint it up, and invest in quality pieces. Your bedroom will thank you for it!
