1. Assess Your Current Bedroom

Start by reviewing what you already have. Do you have any outdated furniture or old bed sheets? By assessing your current items, you can identify what you want to change and improve in your bedroom. For instance, a fresh coat of paint on the walls can work wonders, instantly giving the whole room a new feel.

2. Declutter & Clean

Next, go through your belongings and decide what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of. Often, we accumulate so many items that we don’t even know why a drawer is so full that it can’t close. By thoroughly decluttering, you will have fewer things to find a place for, which leads to a clutter-free space and peace of mind. After achieving a clutter-free home, it is time to do a deep clean to start with a fresh canvas.

4. Furniture & Layout

If you want to keep the furniture you already have, you can easily rearrange its position to achieve a completely new look. It doesn’t always need to be major changes for a room to feel entirely new. However, if you want more of a change than just rearranging the furniture, consider either swapping it with pieces from another part of your home or giving the furniture a new look by repainting it.

If you still feel like the space look the same, consider changing up the furnitures with new ones. There are always budget-friendly options to find. You can either go to a nearby thrift shop, or you can get a cheap furniture online and changing it the way you want to.

5. Textiles & Bedding

You can give your space a whole new look by changing the bedding and adding more textiles. This will make your bedroom cozier and more inviting. For instance, if you have patterned bedding, switch to a solid-colored set to create a cleaner and more clutter-free appearance.

Another great tip to make the room feel bigger and more inviting is to hang the curtains all the way up to the ceiling. If possible, extend them from wall to wall and opt for double curtains, like this:

6. Lighting

The lighting is a major factor in your room so by switching up the lighting or letting more lighting through your curtains can make a massive difference. The good thing about getting curtains from wall to wall is that if you have just a small window, you don’t need to have the curtains in front of the window at all. You can just place the curtains right next to the window. This will make your room look bigger and let more natural light in.

You can also give your room a massive lift by installing a smart lighting system such as Philips Hue. This is something I’ve been using for years and it is so cozy, especially in the bedroom. It will allow you to choose the lighting color but also the brightness of the lamp, making it completely customizable for you.

7. Decorative Accents & Final Touches

The decorative accents are the final touches that bring your bedroom to life, making this final step very important.

To give your space a personal touch, you can add artwork that means something to you or create your own. I believe that artwork, even if imperfect, made by you or a family member, can be quite charming on the wall. Other personal items you can use as decorations include books, travel souvenirs, and family photos.

When decorating your bedroom it can easily get cluttered. But, how do you decorate your bedroom without overcrowding? I will give you a few simple tips to keep it decluttered:

• Don’t be afraid to leave an empty space – every corner doesn’t have to be filled with decorations.
• Negative space – leave some areas off the walls and surfaces bare to avoid a cluttered look.
• Functional decor – choose decor that’s also serve a purpose.
• Rotate decor – consider rotating items you love seasonally.

Conclusion

In conclusion, a bedroom refresh will not only give your bedroom a new look, but also enhance you mental and physical well-being. It doesn’t have to be the biggest of changes in order for your bedroom to feel and look completely new. You can often work with what you already have and add some lighting and your bedroom will be like new. So, are you ready to start your bedroom refresh?
