Of all the spaces in a home, the bedroom is one room that we don’t switch around our style in very often. It’s common to swap out area rugs and throw pillows in the living room; buy new dinnerware or serveware for the kitchen; and even tackle mini renos in every room from the bathroom to the home office. However, the way you decorate your bedroom is important—not just to your overall aesthetic, but also to your mental clarity. When your sleep space feels at peace, it’s easier for you to feel more peaceful, too. And with the right bedroom decorating ideas, you can turn your primary suite into your dream space.

Your bedroom decor should reflect your style, of course, but it also needs to be filled with the right materials and fabrics. In this room more than anywhere else, it’s essential to be comfortable. So, when shopping for bedding and throw blankets; pillows and comforters; mattresses and curtains; and the like, it’s worth it to invest in quality products. From there, look to decorative items that enhance your design style and make you feel luxurious (they don’t have to have that luxe price tag!) so you can truly unwind and relax in your sanctuary.

01

Hale Canvas Nine-Drawer Dresser

Anthropologie

$2,498.00

Your personality doesn’t have to shine just in your small decorative objects. Larger furniture items like your dresser or armoire can also make a statement, and this artful nine-drawer dresser is proof. The printed canvas inlay provides a hand-drawn quality to the piece, made of poplar wood and beechwood veneer and reinforced with engineered hardwood. 

02

Cut Glass Lidded Trinket Box

Anthropologie

$98.00

Your catchall dish doesn’t have to be boring. This gorgeous cut glass box can hold everyday jewelry, hair clips, mints, or whatever other small items you’d like on display and easily accessible—and look good doing it. The combined sculptural shape and colored glass will look beautiful on a nightstand or next to your fragrance collection.

03

Classic Organic Percale Gingham Duvet Cover

Quince

$89.90

The easiest bedroom decorating idea can also make a big impact: a new duvet cover. Changing your bedding out instantly refreshes the space, and really influences the overall vibe, since the bed is the focal point of the room. Go for a timeless pattern like this yard-dyed gingham, and pair with a soft hand-knit throw blanket for ultimate cozy dreams. 

04

Ventana Flatweave Wool and Jute Rug

Design Within Reach

$1,895.00

An area rug can bring the entire room together, and provides an additional soft layer for your feet. It’s a great opportunity to bring in unexpected pattern, texture, or complementary colors to help create a more dynamic design scheme.

05

Charleston Jewelry Armoire

Raymour & Flanigan

$4,939.95

An instant heirloom, this armoire is a stunning storage option for your bedroom or guest room. It’s made of cherry veneers and finished in a deep black cherry patina for a gorgeous weathered look. Behind the doors, you’ll find two mirrors, two adjustable shelves, a self-closing drawer with a removable felt jewelry tray, and twelve hooks for ultimate customizable storage.

European Flax Linen Curtain

West Elm

$139.00

The soft texture that a linen curtain brings to a space is a must in any room where you want that calm feeling—which is why they work great in the bedroom. The premium flax material used here offers a gorgeous, effortlessly luxe look, with an opaque transparency that lets in just the right amount of light while still offering privacy.

07

Marigold Fringe Lumbar Pillow

Pottery Barn

$87.00

Throw pillows are an essential bedroom decorating idea. They cozy up the bed, and they add that pop of personality, color, or pattern that you need to make the room feel like your own. And, just like a throw blanket, these are easy to change throughout the year. (Though this gorgeous green can work in any season!)

08

Scott Living Balboa White Botanical Wallpaper

Amazon

$129.41

Everything in your bedroom should feel relaxing, but that doesn’t mean it has to be boring! Consider creating an accent wall with wallpaper to give energy to the space without taking away from its serene vibes. Plus, keeping it neutral is a great way to add texture without making it feel too loud.

09

Organic Metal Jewelry Storage Tower

West Elm

$39.00

For a moody-meets-organic touch, small display pieces like this metal jewelry tower will bring the perfect combination of color and texture to help achieve the look. Made from hand-cut aluminum in a brass finish, this functional tower will bring both warmth and a luxe handmade quality to your space.

10

Marycele Candle Warmer Lamp

Amazon

$33.99

This candle warmer lamp is gaining popularity, and it’s easy to see why. Not only does the soft light add ambience, but the warmer also helps your candles last longer.

11

Gracie Oaks Asawer Chunky Knit Blanket

Wayfair

$79.99

And to make things extra cozy, layer a chunky knit blanket on top of the comforter. This is a nice way to add a pop of color because you can easily change it out from season to season.
