Are you tired of staring at the same four walls of your bedroom day in and day out? You shouldn’t be. Bedrooms are supposed to be whatever you want them to be. Maybe you want a spot to relax and rest, or perhaps you prefer something a bit spicy and exciting. Whatever you want from your bedroom, we want to help you. So if your bedroom doesn’t fit the bill, you’ll need these 5 bedroom hacks to get started.
Let’s start first with the easiest way to add personality and character to your bedroom. You don't need to spend a fortune on paintings or sculptures either. If you’re a dab hand, create your own pieces using materials such as canvas, paint, and markers, or, find prints that stand out from the crowd and give your bedroom the touch of flair it deserves.
While most of the time you spend in your bedroom will be with the lights off, that’s no reason not to invest in a lamp or two. They help accent a bedroom room, don’t take up a lot of room, and can even be practical – what’s not to love? A good rule of thumb is to have at least a couple of sources of light in your bedroom, such as a table lamp and a floor lamp. Then you can mix and match how bright the space is depending on what you’re up to.
Rugs are an unsung hero of interior decoration. They don’t get the limelight of a curtain or blind, probably because they’re underfoot. But if you need a finishing touch for a space, find a matching rug, and you’ll be well and truly set. You could opt for something super fluffy to match a cosy spot or maybe something loose weave and minimal to match a simple space.
You probably already know that mirrors do an amazing job of adding depth and dimension to your bedroom. Maximizing space (even if it’s a trick of the eye) can help open up the bedroom, particularly when you've got a great big bed in the middle of your sleeping space. A full-length mirror also has the added bonus of helping you get ready for work or going out. Don’t forget, mirrors come in all shapes and sizes so whatever you’re looking for – it’ll be out there.
Adding plants to your bedroom can help bring colour, texture, and life to the space. The plants don’t even have to be real. You could pick your personal favourite to have pride of place on a windowsill or desk. Or, you could change them with the seasons for a pick-me-up during winter. Of course, real plants have the added benefit of improving air quality, so that’s always a good shout if that’s your favourite WFH spot.
There you have it, five totally transformative bedroom hacks that bring your bedroom to life – day or night. Don’t feel like experimenting is a bad thing either, your bedroom should reflect your personality and make you feel the way you want it to – and it’s fine if that changes over time. Now, all that’s left for you to do is dive even deeper into what’s possible in your bedroom.
