Changing your bedroom from a utilitarian sleeping space to a plush oasis built for comfort can be done simply and doesn’t have to cost a lot. It can be something as simple as adding rich accents or luxurious single accessories to give the space warmth or a little bling. Use the following tips from Alair Homes Maple Ridge to help you achieve a luxurious feel in your bedroom.

Keep Things Open

As ever, avoid cluttering the space with too much furniture. If your bedroom is especially small, consider painting the wall behind the headboard in a saturated color that will serve as a great foil for the bed itself. For example, a grey accent wall with a white headboard or white coverings gives the sense of a white cloud floating in a richly colored sky. Who can’t sleep well on a cloud?

Add Reflective Features

Mirrors and chrome lamp fixtures can brighten and reflect any light in the space and add opulence. When possible, go big, rather than several small mirrors. Also consider investing in lamps with glass accents or beading for increased reflection.

Don’t Forget Seating

Your bedroom design will seem more all-inclusive if there’s somewhere to enjoy a book or just relax in the space. If space is tight, consider adding a wire chair for a lighter look.

Avoid Over-Loading Flat Surfaces

There’s something extremely restful about walking into a hotel room because the flat surfaces of the room are clear. Rather than overloading side tables and dresser tops with mementos, consider using a wall-mounted cabinet with glass doors to store and display your treasures. You’ll enjoy a nice personal touch and keep surfaces clear.

DIY Temporary Headboard

If you don’t have a headboard as yet, invest in or make three large pillows and cover them with something lush such as velvet. This will
1) give you a backdrop for the rest of your bedding
2) serve as a plush headboard while you think about it, and
3) offer a bit of grab against the wall, while silk pillows will slide.

You can also use a center pillow in a contrasting shade to add a pop of color to the space.

Keep Adding Pillows

A bed loaded with great pillows is an invitation to jump in and get comfortable. If you have a headboard, consider adding a bolster in a coordinating pattern or shade, then build small pillows in front of that to make the bed surface cozy.

Invest In A Plush Throw

A cozy throw in a matching shade to one of your pillows is an invitation to a cuddle or a nap. If your bed is large, drape the throw across the foot where one might stretch out and get some shut-eye. This would protect your pillow arrangement and give you a chance for a power nap.

Put A Rug Under It

If you have wood floors, you’ll want a rug under your bed. This gives you a warm place to put your feet first thing and gives the room a cozier feel. If your bedroom is carpeted, consider adding a floorcloth for a visual break. Not only will this allow you to customize your bedroom design, but you’ll turn your bed into a private island.
