Are you planning to redesign your bedroom? Are you in need of some bedroom renovation and design inspiration? We can help you to brighten up your bedroom, navigate design and layout issues that often arise and optimize your space for a beautiful and functional room.

Add shelving

Take advantage of blank wall space by installing floating shelves. Not only do they offer extra storage, but you also get to showcase your personality. Display trinkets, framed photos, scented candles, and jewelry. You can also replace your bedside table with a shelf installed above your bed to provide a convenient place for essentials such as a lamp, alarm clock, and books, while freeing up space next to your bed. This setup works especially well in tighter rooms where floor space is limited.

Standing open shelving is a useful alternative if you want to avoid piercing the walls. It can be moved or repurposed as needed, making it a great option for renters or frequent redecorators. Much like the floating shelves, you can decorate it with items such as cascading plants and souvenirs from your travels. Try choosing wood shelves for a natural, timeless look.

With the right furniture and tasteful decor, you can easily style small spaces. Shelving helps your bedroom feel more curated and intentional without overwhelming the overall atmosphere.

Add selves to your room

Use wallpaper to create a feature wall

Wallpaper has made its comeback in modern interior design. Its ability to have a dramatic impact on a space makes it a great addition when renovating a bedroom. Whether you prefer bold patterns or subtle prints, wallpaper offers endless options to suit your style.

Available in an array of motifs and textures and from an affordable starting price, why not create a feature wall using wallpaper in your bedroom? Feature walls are an effective way to draw attention to a focal point without overwhelming the entire space. Use wallpaper to set the mood of the room and accessorize with complementary colors and objects.

Installing wallpaper in just one section also makes it easy to update your space later without committing to a full-room redesign. It’s a creative, cost-effective way to transform your bedroom with minimal effort. Taking this simple design step gives you several ways to refresh your bedroom without having to redo the entire room every time.

Choose multi-purpose furniture

Rooms are easier to keep tidy when each item has a home, especially when your home is small (e.g., less than 1,000 square feet). You need to maximize function without sacrificing comfort when decorating small spaces, and multi-purpose furniture is one of the best ways to achieve that.

When choosing your bedroom furniture, try to opt for pieces which serve multiple functions. One example is a bed with built-in storage underneath, which you can use to keep out-of-season clothing, extra bedding, or other items that tend to clutter the closet. If you are updating an already furnished bedroom, you can simply add rolling drawers underneath to store items like shoes. Doing it this way frees up space in your closet and helps you streamline your overall storage system.

Rather than purchasing a big armchair for your bedroom, save yourself the cost and consider placing a bench seat at the foot of the bed or under the window instead. Make sure it has built-in storage for blankets, bed linen, and cushions.

One thing to keep in mind when placing multi-purpose furniture in your bedroom is to account for how it will interact with your layout. Avoid placing them near a door that swings open or near high-traffic areas.

Add a touch of luxury

Create a DIY luxury penthouse vibe by adding a living space to your bedroom. You don’t need to do anything major to achieve this; just a few thoughtful additions can help elevate your room’s look and feel.

Take inspiration from luxury hotel and apartment designs by arranging plush seating in the corner of your bedroom. A small velvet armchair, a tufted chaise lounge, or a pair of stylish stools can introduce comfort while visually enhancing our space.

Position an upholstered bench seat at the foot of your bed to create a design feature and offer a practical place to tie your shoes. Opt for a piece with refined finishes, such as brass legs or rich fabric textures, for subtle sophistication. You can also take it a step further by incorporating a decorative accent, like a framed mirror or a statement headboard, to bring balance to your overall design.

Lastly, don’t be afraid to include interesting patterns and textures when choosing cushions and statement pieces of furniture.

Add a touch of luxery in your bedroom

Paint the walls

Design a sophisticated and charming bedroom by painting either the entire room or a single feature wall in a dark shade. This style works particularly well in rooms with a high ceiling in order to maintain a sense of spaciousness; however, you should always opt for light ceilings and floors. Try a deep blue or green to create a sense of peace and calm in your bedroom, and use lighting, such as a chandelier, to add a touch of luxury.

Styling an interior also means choosing bold colors to paint your walls. A colorful wall can change the overall feel of the room.

Consider adding accessories, such as cushions and drapes, in a contrasting color to maintain balance in your design. Choosing the right color for your pillows or bedding is also possible with HomeByMe. Say goodbye to the usual sad white pillows and accentuate the contrast by choosing a color like dark blue or green. Explore our large catalog of 3D branded products.

Paint the walls of your bedroom

Mood lighting

Set a relaxing mood in your bedroom by installing some low-light options that don’t cost much. For example, you can create a whimsical vibe with fairy lights, which can easily be mounted to the walls using removable adhesive putty. Connect the lights to an in-line cord switch in order to turn them on and off at the click of a button.

Floor or nightstand lamps are a simple way to decorate your bedroom and provide a great alternative to bright ceiling lights when you’re winding down in the evening. Consider warm-toned bulbs or fabric shades that diffuse light softly throughout the room. For a modern look, you can use pendant lights suspended above your nightstands or reading nook. Doing it this way frees up surface space while serving as a stylish focal point in your design.

Finally, add a dimmer switch to your main overhead light to offer complete control and flexibility. You can complement the dim lighting with scented candles on your bedside table.

Adapt the mood lighting to your room

Set up a reading and relaxation corner

Placing an armchair in the corner of your bedroom adds another purpose to the room by creating a space to read, journal, or meditate. Set up a small table next to it, with a scented candle, your book of the moment, and a notebook and pen, so you’re always ready to jot down your thoughts. Having a sacred space to relax and unwind is important, given the busy lifestyles we lead in today’s society. Choose an armchair that complements the existing furniture in your bedroom and add a small cushion and a blanket for comfort.
