One of the great tips given by interior designers is to keep the bedroom as simple as possible, regardless of the decorative style chosen for the room. You have to be able to achieve a space that creates a sense of refuge and calm in the midst of chaos. To achieve this, we are going to give you a bedroom decor ideas to make the most of it.

Three key tips decorate a bedroom according to experts

 

The time has come to renovate the bedrooms in your house from top to bottom, and your body knows it. You don’t need to spend a fortune on the renovation; you just need to consider a few factors.

We’re going to give you some small tips so it doesn’t become overwhelming and so you can let your imagination run free while decorating your bedroom. Let’s get started.

 

Color uniformity is essential 

 

The color of interior walls is one of the most important things to consider. It not only influences the style of the room but also the atmosphere it creates. Some colors convey calm and harmony, while others have the opposite effect.

Interior designers recommend opting for neutral colors. Why? They can create a welcoming and elegant atmosphere. Plus, one of their main advantages is that they pair well with many other colors and materials.

Here’s a small decorative tip: to decorate your bedroom with neutral colors, we recommend playing with different textures. If your bedroom wall is smooth, consider adding a wool rug in a different color and linen curtains. If you want to go further, include a rattan piece of furniture—one of the trendiest decorative elements, suitable for both indoor and outdoor spaces, and one that perfectly complements a neutral color palette.

Mirrors: more than just a reflection

 

The options for choosing mirrors are limitless and depend on personal tastes and preferences. However, it’s vital to choose the right spot for them. Pay attention to the ideas we’ll share to enrich your bedroom’s decoration with mirrors.

The first thing to keep in mind is that the higher you hang the mirror, the more depth you’ll give to your room. We recommend placing it near a source of natural light to enhance the room’s brightness.

Furthermore, both the design of the mirror and where you place it depend on its intended use. If you like checking your outfit before leaving your room, go for full-length mirrors. If, on the other hand, you want to let your creativity flow, you can play with the sizes of multiple mirrors hung on the wall. Try both options!

 

 

Artwork on the walls: decorate your bedroom like the masters

 

Walls are a great help when it comes to bringing life to a room. But how can you do it? It’s simple. Use paintings, murals, or even photographs. The secret to decorating a bedroom with these elements lies in playing with space and geometric shapes.

As with mirrors, the possibilities for combining paintings and photographs are endless and depend on personal taste. Still, we’d like to give you some advice to help you make the most of the space.

One of the compositions that has been trendy for years is arranging a series of paintings or photographs of different sizes to form a rectangle. To make it balanced, we recommend placing the larger pieces on the ends.

If you’re not a fan of cluttering your walls, you can place two or three pieces of different sizes on a piece of furniture, leaning them against the wall. If you add a vase of flowers to this composition, your bedroom decor will be on point. Alternatively, if you don’t want to complicate things, you can always opt for a single large piece on the wall.

 

Tell us about you bedroom, and we'll tell you how to decorate it 

 

A house is a space of constructive plurality divided into independent rooms of various shapes, sizes, and characteristics. Under the same roof coexist the master bedroom, those of the youngest children, the middle sibling’s room, and even the attic. Now, we’re going to share some tricks to help you adapt the decoration of each room to the aesthetic and personal needs of its occupants, whether they’re getting up for school or work.

Who said bedrooms are only for sleeping? If yours has plenty of space, you can take advantage of it by creating a kind of sitting area with an armchair, a sofa, and a coffee table. For example, if your room’s decorative style is rustic, we recommend upholstering the coffee table in capitonné.

A youthful bedroom that grows with the kids

Your children grow, and so do their tastes, especially during adolescence. At this stage, it seems like everything has to change completely... But don’t worry! We propose a key change that will make their room look brand new for very little money.

Our suggestion: paint it in black and white for a look that’s always modern and pairs perfectly with natural light. And, of course, don’t forget the posters of their favorite series!

A small bedroom but with space everything

Just because a room isn’t very spacious doesn’t mean it can’t be stylish and well-utilized. For example, we’ll give you some tips to make sure lack of space isn’t an issue. Consider adding a bed with storage, transforming the headboard into a wardrobe, using sliding doors for the closets, and choosing light colors.

The bed: a vital element in bedroom decoration 

 

Before we get started with the tips and advice, it’s important to clarify one thing: the most important element of a bedroom is the bed. So yes, the bedroom’s decoration should revolve around it.

The first step is to find the best placement for this element in relation to the space and the source of natural light. If you like watching TV or reading in bed, you know what to do: position the bed according to your habits.

The choice of the bed also depends on whether the room is large or small. If you’re decorating a small room, opt for a low-profile bed. This will help extend the visual field without blocking light, creating a sense of spaciousness. However, in a larger room, you can afford to include larger furniture, even a sofa or armchair.

Regardless of whether the bedroom is small or large, you can get a lot out of the bed. Don’t know how? Don’t worry, we’ll show you.

 

The importance of choosing the ideal headboard 

 

The decoration of your bedroom can be directly influenced by the choice of the bed’s headboard. In addition to being a high-value decorative element, it also has a functional purpose, as it provides support for reading or watching television.

The size of the headboard will affect the perception of the room’s dimensions. In rooms with high ceilings, taller headboards are more common. Conversely, in smaller rooms, to gain a sense of spaciousness, we recommend shorter headboards.

If including a headboard isn’t part of your plans for decorating the bedroom, don’t worry. You can use that space for a large painting or a composition of pictures and photographs. Let your creativity flow!

Cushions and bedding: tools to decorate a bedroom 

 

And to top it all off… bedding!

Another way to bring color and vitality to a bedroom is by using cushions and other textiles. If the walls are smooth and neutral, let yourself be inspired by a variety of colors and textures, and unleash your most creative side.

To create a bright and hygienic atmosphere, play with a range of light colors for your sheets, blankets, and duvet covers. You can experiment with darker tones if the walls are white and you want to avoid making the room’s decor too monotonous.

 

Must-hace furniture for bedroom decoration 

 

Interior decorators recommend keeping bedroom decor as simple as possible to achieve a relaxed and cozy look, regardless of the chosen style. By not overcrowding the room and carefully selecting the proportions of the furniture, we advise placing the pieces with the bed as the focal point.

Next, we’ll give you some small tips on how to decorate a bedroom like a professional interior designer with conventional furniture.

 

Nightstands: a great support for the bed 

 

One thing that’s essential in decorating a master bedroom is a pair of nightstands. In addition to matching the overall style of the room, they need to be practical and have enough capacity to store everything you need at night (and even in the morning).

Like any decorative element, there are countless styles of nightstands: wooden, white, rattan, or even glass. You just need to choose the correct size and the design that best fits the room’s overall decor.

You can place a lamp on them to give them more prominence, or perhaps a floral arrangement accompanied by a photograph. Whatever you decide to place on them, be mindful of playing with the shapes and heights of the objects to enhance the room’s visual structure.

 

Wardrobes and dressers can also decorate the bedroom

 

When choosing a wardrobe, you need to ensure its size matches the amount of clothing you’ll store in it and the room’s dimensions. It’s crucial that it doesn’t block natural light. If it’s not built-in, we recommend considering the bed’s measurements and placement when positioning the wardrobe.

If even with a wardrobe you need more space for clothes, consider adding a dresser. You can place it in the bedroom or, if you have one, in the dressing room, positioned as far from the door as possible to give the room more spaciousness. Are you ready to give it a try?

Lighting: much more than light for decorateing your bedroom

 

One of the most important elements when considering how to decorate a room is lighting, as it can affect how everything else is perceived, from the color of the walls to the bed and curtains.

Ideally, the space should have plenty of natural light. If this isn’t the case, we’ll give you some tips to make the most of the lighting in your rooms.

 

Interior designer's tip: custom lamps for the nightstands 

 

In addition to the main light source, such as a ceiling lamp, we recommend placing two custom lamps on the nightstands in a master bedroom. This way, both sides will be well-lit.

Here’s another idea: one of the trends revolutionizing the interior decor sector is the use of LED strips above the bed. This option gives users the freedom to play with different light colors, adding intimacy and personality to the bedroom.

 

Foolproof decorator's trick: curtains on the sides! 

 

To make the most of the natural light entering your room, we recommend placing curtains on the sides of the window frames. In addition to maximizing the light coming in, this creates the optical illusion of higher walls and larger windows, which is invaluable when viewing the room from the outside—and even more so when you’re inside it.

If you want to add a much more elegant touch to your bedroom decor, opt for curtains that trail a few centimeters on the floor. You can combine the curtains with sheers of a different shade to create a more colorful space.

 

Tight budgets for decorating your bedroom? Use microcement 

 

As we mentioned at the beginning of this post, walls are fundamental in bedroom decoration. But hey, so is the floor. We believe there’s no better way to cover it than with microcement.

Why are we so sure? This decorative coating, suitable for both vertical and horizontal surfaces, doesn’t create joints, making it easy to create a sense of spaciousness in the room.

What’s more, this material has the ability to reflect natural light. So yes, your bedroom will be much brighter than with other decorative coatings.

 

Decorate your bedroom walls with microcement 

Few construction materials have such a significant impact on a space. Microcement, with its finishes, the textures it allows, and the extensive color catalog it offers, can help turn your walls into a standout element in the decoration of any room.

Microcement floors: a long-lasting surface 

Microcement has a much longer lifespan than other materials. When combined with its ease of cleaning and maintenance, applying it to the floor to decorate a room can result in surfaces that maintain their like-new appearance indefinitely, making it a true decorative milestone.
