The bedroom is our relaxation zone, a place where we recover physically and mentally and gain strength and energy after a hard day’s work. Properly selected accessories will help you find peace of mind and balance, bringing an added touch of comfort and peace to the design of the space.

Liven up your bedroom with the right accessories

Experienced stylists say that in order to change a boring design, it is not at all necessary to start an expensive repair or a full-scale rearrangement. To revitalize your bedroom and create your own individual aesthetic, it is enough to change a few cardinal accessories in the room and its interior will sparkle with new charming colors!

ADD A TOUCH OF FLAIR TO BEDROOM WINDOW TREATMENTS

Proper window design allows you to add expressiveness to the interior and even change the look of the space. Curtains, matched to the tone of the wall decoration will help to visually enlarge the room. For small bedrooms, it is recommended to choose light-colored curtains made of light airy materials; for more spacious ones, you can use curtains made of heavy noble fabrics. If a sofa for relaxation or a desktop is supposed to be placed near the window, instead of standard long curtains, you should consider the option of stylish shortened curtains, roman shades, or blinds. Short curtains are often used for the winter period in those rooms where heating elements are placed directly under the window openings – so that the heat does not get lost behind the curtains, but circulates freely around the room. If there are no windows in the bedroom to avoid the effect of an enclosed space, a window opening can be created! Try draping one of the walls with a backlit curtain or stick a suitable photo wallpaper with a spectacular landscape on it.

CREATE A COZY ATMOSPHERE WITH LIGHT

Well-chosen lighting elements: table lamps, sconces, and floor lamps, will help create cozy intimate islands of muted light, place spectacular light accents and add a stylish zest to the interior of the room. Sconces are wall-mounted stationary lamps that are usually mounted at the head of the bed and help save space on the bedside table or if it is missing. If during the repair they did not provide for the output of special communications for installing a sconce, they can be fully replaced by a stylish floor lamp. In addition, the floor lamp can be easily moved to any corner of the room or quickly replaced, bringing a new fresh touch to the decoration of the bedroom. And as an original decorative accessory, you can use LED lighting – this is not only an additional source of light but also the ability to effectively zone the room.

ACCENTUATE YOUR BEDROOM WITH A DELIGHTFULLY SOFT RUG

One of the main elements of the interior of any bedroom, after the bed, of course, is the rug. This stylish accessory makes you feel comfortable when you take your first step out of bed in the morning. After all, it is so nice, getting out from under a warm blanket, to touch with your feet a gentle velvety pile instead of a cold floor covering. The rug, among other things, can bring an original accent to the interior. Dilute the geometry of the room by playing on the contrast – complement the rectangular or square bedroom with a round or oval carpet. Such carpets also look good in tandem with rounded furniture. As for the pile of the carpet, it is also worth focusing on the environment: if the bedroom already has so much bright decor, a fluffy bright carpet will be too much, while in a room decorated in a minimalist style, a high soft pile will add coziness and comfort.

CONSIDER ORIGINAL WALL DECORATION

Accessories placed on the walls will help to give the room originality: paintings, posters, mirrors, or just beautiful photo frames. Do not overload the interior. If you plan to decorate the bedroom with paintings, place them on one wall, and not around the entire perimeter. Most often, a wall at the head of the bed is chosen for decoration. It can be either one large painting or several smaller canvases united by one common theme. The main thing is that they are in harmony with the overall style of the bedroom. With the help of paintings, you can even adjust the shape of the room. So, canvases arranged in a horizontal line can visually expand the rooms, and vertically arranged ones visually make the ceiling higher.

As stylish accessories to complement the design of the bedroom, you can use a variety of vases, figurines, sculptural compositions, and much more. But remember that designers do not recommend combining too many different accessories in small rooms, because instead of coziness and comfort, they can bring disorder and clutter into the room. It is also undesirable to use excessively large elements when decorating a bedroom if they are not the main accents of the interior – there is a risk that they will stand out from the general style and introduce a certain disharmony.
