10 Home Bedroom Refresh Ideas
The New Year is a great time to refresh your home. One of the easiest rooms to give a makeover is the bedroom.
It’s one of the most used rooms in the house, but can also be one of the most overlooked when it comes to decorating.
A bedroom should be a peaceful retreat. It’s the place where you start and end your day. It should be a place that makes you feel calm and relaxed.
If your bedroom has been feeling blah lately, check out these 20 home bedroom refresh ideas to help you get inspired.
1. Keep it simple
The biggest mistake people make when it comes to refreshing their bedrooms is thinking they have to do a lot of work or buy a ton of new things. But really, the opposite is true.
The key to a good bedroom refresh is to keep it simple. Think about the things in your bedroom that you love and that make you feel good, and then think about the things that don’t.
Spend your time and effort on those things that don’t make you feel good and don’t worry about the rest.
2. Make your bed a cozy retreat
If you’re not one to make your bed every day, then you’re probably not going to be excited about this tip. But I promise you, there’s something about a well-made bed that makes your whole room feel refreshed.
You don’t have to go all out with fancy linens and throw pillows (unless you want to). Just start by smoothing out your sheets and blankets. Then, add a few pillows to make it look extra inviting.
I like to stick with a neutral color palette and add in a few throw pillows with a pop of color or pattern.
3. Make your bed a cozy retreat
If you’re looking for an easy way to make your bedroom feel more put together, making your bed is the perfect place to start.
I don’t know what it is about a made bed, but something about it just makes the whole room feel so much more calm and inviting.
I love adding in a few extra throw pillows and a cozy blanket to make the bed feel like a retreat.
I love this simple linen bedding set from Parachute because it’s so easy to mix and match with other bedding. I added in some extra texture with a linen quilt at the end of the bed and a cozy cashmere throw blanket.
I also love adding in a few extra throw pillows to make the bed feel more inviting. I used a few different sizes of pillows in the same color palette to make the bed feel more cozy.
4. Decorate with intention
The most important thing to keep in mind when decorating your bedroom is to be intentional with your decor. You don’t want to add too much or too little; you want to find that perfect balance that makes your space feel like home.
This means you should think about the size, shape, and color of the pieces you want to add. It also means you should think about how the pieces will all look together.
You don’t want to add a bunch of random pieces that don’t make sense together. Think about how they will all look as a whole and make sure they go together.
In this bedroom, I added a few simple pieces to the top of the dresser. I wanted to keep it simple and chic, so I stuck with a color scheme of white, black, and gold. I also used a few different shapes and sizes to add some dimension to the space.
5. Bring in some greenery
Bringing in some greenery is one of the easiest ways to add color and life to your bedroom. No green thumb? No problem.
There are plenty of faux plants on the market that look just as good as the real thing.
If you’re looking for something a little more low maintenance, a vase of eucalyptus or a snake plant are great options.
Eucalyptus is a fresh and fragrant plant that will last for weeks, and snake plants are nearly impossible to kill.
6. Add some personality
Last but not least, your bedroom should feel like a reflection of you! Add some personality to your space by incorporating some of your favorite things.
This could be a piece of art that you love, a funky lamp, or even a bold rug. Adding personal touches to your space will make it feel like your own.
7. Create a cozy reading nook
If you have the space, a reading nook can be a great addition to your bedroom. All you need is a chair, a small side table, and a lamp.
You can also add a small bookshelf or wall-mounted shelves to store your favorite books.
If you have a bay window in your bedroom, this is the perfect spot to create a reading nook. You can even add a bench cushion and some throw pillows to make it extra cozy.
8. Add some whimsy
If you’re looking for a more casual way to add some interest to your walls, try hanging up a tapestry. This is a great option for renters who can’t add wallpaper to their space.
For a more permanent way to add some whimsy to your walls, consider adding a mural. There are so many beautiful options to choose from that can transform your space.
I added this gorgeous mural to my bedroom and I love how it turned out. It’s like I’m waking up in a dreamy garden every single day.
I also love how it pairs with the blush and brass accents in the room.
9. Mix and match your bedding
If you’re looking for a quick and budget-friendly way to refresh your bedroom, consider mixing and matching your bedding.
This is a great way to change up the look of your room without having to invest in new furniture or decor.
You can mix and match different patterns, colors, and textures to create a unique look that suits your style.
Just be sure to keep the rest of your bedroom decor relatively simple so your bedding can be the star of the show!
10. Add a pop of color
If you’re feeling like your bedroom is a bit boring, adding a pop of color can be just the thing to liven it up. I’m a big fan of neutral palettes, but even I get the itch for a little color from time to time.
I love how this room uses a bold green to add a little life to the space. It’s not too much, but just enough to make a statement.
Conclusion
You don’t have to spend a ton of money to give your bedroom a refresh. It’s a space that should be personal to you and your style, and it should be a place you love.
I hope you found this post helpful and that it inspired you to do a little bedroom refresh of your own!
