Welcome to our guide on how to give your master bedroom a refreshing makeover! Whether you're looking to update your decor, maximize space, or create a cozy retreat, we've got you covered with these easy tips and tricks.
Declutter + Organize for a Tranquil Space
Let's start by decluttering your space - a crucial step in creating a tranquil space to relax in. By clearing out unnecessary items and organizing what's left, you'll instantly create a sense of calm. Consider using storage baskets or under-bed storage for a neater look.
To maintain a serene atmosphere, keep surfaces clutter-free. Opt for minimalist decor and only display items that bring you the feeling you're wanting that space to emulate. Embrace the 'less is more' approach to design, focusing on quality over quantity. A clutter-free space can also have a significant impact on your mental well-being.
Incorporate New Bedding + Pillows
Elevate the comfort and quality levels of your sleep by investing in breathable bedding and pillows. Opt for high-quality, soft sheets. We've been loving Quince lately.
Consider incorporating a mix of decorative pillows and shams to add a touch of elegance to your bedding. Experiment with different patterns and colors to infuse your personality into the room. A bedding upgrade not only enhances your sleep quality but also elevates the overall aesthetic of your space.
Create a Cozy Reading Nook or Relaxation Corner
Transform a corner of your bedroom into a cozy reading nook where you can unwind after a long day. A comfortable armchair or chaise lounge paired with a small table creates a perfect space for relaxation.
Soft lighting is key to creating a soothing atmosphere in your reading nook. Consider installing a wall sconce or a floor lamp with a warm, soft glow to enhance the cozy vibe. Personalize the space with your favorite books, a plush rug, and a piece of artwork for added charm.
Personalize Your Space with Artwork + Decor
Infuse your master bedroom with your unique style by incorporating artwork and decor pieces that speak to you. Hang a gallery wall of family photos or showcase your favorite art prints to create a personalized space. Mix and match frames and art styles for a diverse and visually appealing display or let the photos themselves shine with more uniform frames.
Add decorative elements like vases, trays, decorative accents, or plants to bring life and personality to your room. Choose pieces that resonate with you on a personal level and evoke positive emotions. Remember, your master bedroom should reflect your tastes and interests to help make it your sanctuary!
Upgrade Your Lighting for Ambiance + Functionality
Enhance the ambiance of your master bedroom with strategic lighting upgrades. Consider installing dimmable overhead lights or adjustable wall sconces to create different moods. Task lighting near the bed for reading and ambient lighting for overall illumination can make a big difference.
Incorporate a variety of lighting sources, such as table lamps and floor lamps, to provide flexibility in lighting your space. Choose warm, soft bulbs to create a cozy atmosphere conducive to relaxation. Good lighting not only sets the mood but also serves a functional purpose in your daily activities.
If you're wanting to really upgrade your room, invest in Philips Hue Smart lightbulbs (warm to cool or color ambiance). These dimmable, customizable lights have been a game changer in our house - setting schedules for cooler, more energizing light to wake us up and for warmer, dimmed lights to get us through wind down in the evenings has helped our bodies find better rhythm. Pairing it with Alexa was also helpful for use in other ways.
Accessorize with Master Nightstand Must-Haves
Functional nightstands are a must-have in any bedroom, at every stage of life. Equip them with these essentials:
table lamp for ambient lighting
hue lightbulbs for your lamp
small plant for a touch of nature in natural material planter
tray or dish for your go-tos like books or glasses
charging station for your phone
These items combine practicality with aesthetic appeal for a balanced look + feel.
