From Basic To Beguiling: How To Elevate Your Bedroom Design

Do you dream of having a bedroom reminiscent of a luxury boutique hotel, or do you long for a boudoir that wouldn’t be out of place on achingly cool Pinterest or Instagram feeds? If you’re looking to elevate your bedroom design, here are some simple steps to take your sanctuary from basic to beguiling.

Furniture

Have you ever noticed that when you go to a 5-star hotel or a trendy bar or restaurant, there are always pieces of furniture that turn your head and catch your eye the moment you walk in? If you’re looking to make a style statement or you’re keen to create a unique bedroom, it’s a brilliant idea to look for pieces that command attention. From a vintage style chaise longue to a quirky, driftwood headboard, you can opt for styles that suit your personality and the trends and themes you want to channel. Look for ideas in magazines, take inspiration from places you’ve visited or seen on TV and shop around. You can browse online stores and auction sites, visit antique shops and vintage stores and check out designer collections. If you see items you like but you don’t want to pay a premium price, you can use search engines to find similar pieces at lower prices. 

Stylish storage options

Storage is essential for keeping clutter at bay but it can also add serious style to your bedroom. From a walk in wardrobe and floating shelves to wall-mounted units and eye-catching chests and sideboards, you can use storage to carry different themes, display ornaments, plants and framed pictures and keep the stuff you don’t want to see out of view. If you have a bijou bedroom, it’s a fabulous idea to consider investing in furniture that offers hidden storage, including beds with drawers underneath. 

Accessories

Investing in new accessories is a fantastic way to transform the look of your bedroom without spending a fortune or devoting hours to painting or covering your walls in printed paper. You can use everything from oversized mirrors and wall art to flowers and plants and lamps to inject interest and create a stunning aesthetic. Think about the kind of look and ambience you want to channel. There are all kinds of ideas from old-school Hollywood glamour and vintage Parisian styles to ultra-modern loft living, minimalism and laid-back, Bohemian trends. 

Fabrics

We all want our bedrooms to be inviting, alluring spaces that make us feel calm, relaxed and comfortable. Adding fabrics through soft furnishings is an excellent way to create a cosy feel while also enhancing the look of the space. You can choose from opulent, expensive-looking materials like velvet and silk, embrace the natural look with cotton and linen or add warmth with wool and faux fur.

Is your bedroom a little bland or dull? Do you dream of bedding down in a glamorous boudoir or a tranquil haven? If you’re embarking upon a mission to transform your bedroom, look for ideas and inspiration, mix and match trends and themes you love and look for furniture, accessories and soft furnishings to help you turn your vision into reality. Invest in storage to eliminate clutter and add a personal touch to make your bedroom uniqu
