I wanted to create a fancy, modern, but cozy vibe for my bedroom. A place in which whoever walked in could feel like they’re at home and rest. A place that smells like comfort and safety. A place that looked clean even when it was a bit messy. A place that screamed peace when you walk into it.
A mini sanctuary. The place where you can come up with life changing ideas. A place where you see your vision come to life. A place where you can dream and waking up feels like you’re still dreaming.
There are so many ways to decorate your room. There are so many must-haves and if you want to know the must-haves you can click here, but this post is not about the things you need to get, it’s about the feeling that is attached to the room. It’s about the daily experience that you want to create and have.
I hope that as you’re reading this you will find the feeling that you want your bedroom to have so that you can bring it to life.
Here is an overview of all the things we will discuss today:
- Fancy colors for the bedroom
- The best bedroom lighting
- Pillows for a cozy bedroom
- The best plants for the bedroom
- Scented candles: the key to a fancy bedroom
Fanciest colors for the bedroom
When we rented the house, all the walls were painted white, which is a good base color to work with. I didn’t want to paint it any other color, so I kept it that way. The roof and the floor are a warm woodish color.
One of the things you should consider are the colors of your bedroom and how you can work with those colors. If you’re not really familiar with what colors you want to work with or what colors would suit your room, you can use the color palette generator here: https://coolors.co/ and download the image.
Insert picture of color palette that is linked to your bedroom.
You can simply upload a picture of your bedroom and it will create a color palette that can suit your room and you can generate various palette’s until you find one that catches your attention and that suits the feeling you want to go with.
The best bedroom lighting
Lighting is another simple way to make your bedroom looks more cozy. There are different colors of lights that you can work with, depending on the feeling you want to create in your room. I have yellow colored lights because I wanted my bedroom to feel warm. There are a lot of different types of lighting. Based on the amount of Kelvin you can find which type of light you want to go with. You will find a scheme below.
If you are someone who likes switching between various types of lighting, these days they have lamps of which you can change the colors.
Pillows for a cozy bedroom
Extra pillows on my bed makes it look and feel like it’s a cloud. Although that isn’t the only reason why extra pillows are helpful. According to Wikipedia, 2022 throw pillows, the extra pillows that you don’t use to sleep serve do serve a purpose:
“Decorative pillows are commonly used to tie in color accents within a bedroom, often drawing on the colors in drapes, walls or area rugs.”
So extra pillows can add a small accent to your bedroom that might not seem like much, but it’ll add to the feeling of the room.
The best plants for the bedroom
Yes, having plants does add a certain atmosphere to your room. It makes your room feel more lively and bright.
The liveliness of the room contributes to making it more joyful to wake up in. It adds a fresh flair to your room, that will stimulate peace, energy and drive to be productive during the day.
I’m not a great plant mom, and because of that I usually try to avoid plants at all costs, but my aloe vera makes my room look a bit more lively and it’s a plant that isn’t easy to kill. It only needs water once a week, which makes it easy to keep alive. So, if you are someone who struggles to keep plants alive, getting a succulent is the way to go.
If you don’t want living plants in your room, I’d advise to go with dry flowers. Those can last many years. There are a lot of different types of dry flowers. They are not the cheapest option, but the do last the longest.
Scented candles: the key to a fancy bedroom
The scent, it’s such an easy way to create a certain mood in your bedroom. When someone walks into a place that smells good, they automatically feel better being there. Whether it’s the freshness of the baby’s breath or the calmness of lavender, there are so many different types of scented candles that can help improve the mood of your room. They also don’t always have to be expensive.
I usually get mine from the IKEA for €2,00 and they can burn up to 40 hours.
