Soft and Plush Bedding

Start by investing in high-quality bedding that is soft and comfortable! Opt for luxurious sheets, cozy duvets, and fluffy pillows to create a welcoming and inviting bed that you can’t wait to get into at the end of a long day.

Warm and Neutral Colors

Choose warm and soothing colors for your bedroom walls and decor to create a cozy atmosphere. Soft neutrals like. beige, taupe, and sage greens can help create a calming and relaxing space.

Layered Textiles

Add layers of texture and warmth to your bedroom with throw blankets, area rugs, and curtains. Mixing different textiles like faux fur, knits, and velvet can add visual interest and also create a cozy and inviting feel.

Personal touches

Use personal items, like family photos, favorite books, artwork, or sentimental objects, to make your bedroom feel like a reflection of your personality and style. Adding personal touches can make your space feel more intimate and cozy.

Cozy Seating Area

If you have the room for it, create a cozy seating area in your bedroom where you can relax and unwind. Add a comfortable chair, chaise lounge, or bench with plush cushions and throw pillows for a cozy spot to read, meditate, or enjoy a cup of tea or, in my case, coffee.

Warm Lighting

Incorporate plenty of lamps and lightbulbs with warm bulbs. Dimmable lighting fixtures allows you to adjust the brightness, and gentle and soothing glows help relax your mind and body. Highlighting certain areas, like a reading nook or cozy seating area, can create draw attention and create a sense of wellness.

We love these battery operated sconces in our bedroom- the lighting is really soft.

Natural Elements

Bring the outdoors inside by incorporating natural elements for your cozy bedroom decor. Add houseplants, fresh flowers, or a small indoor fountain to add a touch of nature and create a calming and serene environment.

Focal Point

A focal point, like an accent wall, can create a sense of purpose and intimacy within a room. A well-designed accent wall can add texture and subtle patterns, and works to showcase your personal style and preferences. It can also anchor a room and give it a cohesive and well-balanced feel.

Woven Baskets and Accessories

It doesn’t matter how warm it is outside, I’m always looking for a blanket when I’m inside. Keep a woven basket with blankets near the bed, and use woven accessories like lanterns and trays as decor. Natural fibers add texture and an organic feel. They add a calming and grounding effect.
