1. Layer with Throw Pillows and Blankets

One of the quickest ways to elevate your bed is by adding throw pillows and a cozy blanket. Mix textures like velvet, knit, and linen, and play with patterns and colors that reflect your style. A few thoughtful layers can instantly make your space feel more inviting and put-together.

Here is a beautiful option. Or if you'd like something less traditional, check this one out!

2. Add Wall Art or Prints

Empty walls? Add personality with art! You don’t have to spend a fortune—try framed prints, posters, or even your own photos. A gallery wall, a statement piece above the bed, or a set of minimalist prints can make a big impact with minimal effort.

These frames work for any style and room.

3. Use Warm, Ambient Lighting

Lighting can completely change the vibe of a room. Instead of relying only on harsh overhead lights, opt for soft, warm lighting. Bedside lamps, string lights, fairy lights, or even LED strips can help set a calm, cozy mood—perfect for winding down at night.

This neutral set can elevate your space.

4. Bring in Some Greenery

Plants are a great way to freshen up a room. Whether you go with real plants or low-maintenance faux greenery, adding nature-inspired decor makes a space feel more alive. Try a small potted plant on your nightstand or a hanging plant by the window.

If you can't keep real plants alive (like myself), these are a great option.

5. Style Your Nightstand or Dresser

Keep it simple but styled. Use a decorative tray to corral essentials, add a candle or diffuser for a calming scent, and place a small vase with fresh or dried flowers. A few curated pieces can turn a plain surface into a focal point.

This decorative tray has become one of our favorites.

Final Thoughts

Decorating your bedroom doesn't have to be overwhelming or expensive. Small, thoughtful changes can make a big difference in how your space feels. Whether you're into boho vibes, modern minimalism, or a cozy rustic look—these tips are a great place to start.
