Decorating a bedroom is a creative and personal endeavor that allows you to transform a space into your sanctuary. Whether starting from scratch or looking to refresh your current decor, the bedroom can be a canvas where you can express your style and create a cozy retreat. In this article, I offer a 3-step guide for approaching this project.
1. Find an Inspiration
When I say inspiration, I refer to one thing in your room that you love or have recently purchased and want to incorporate into a newly decorated bedroom. Pick a few colors that complement, blend, or contrast, and keep it simple.
2. Choose a Duvet
A duvet cover is a fantastic way to seasonally mix up your room style. As a high-quality duvet (and insert) can be expensive, investing in a white or neutral color offers you flexibility for the future when you want to change the color palette in your bedroom. I love the crisp look of a white duvet that enables you much flexibility when adding your decorative layers.
3. Think in 3s
If you add a contrast or complementary color, have at least three touches of that color. Or, if you choose to use metal in your room decor, think of lamps and accessories that match the metal of your choice.
Here is an example where I walk you through the process, starting with a piece of art as inspiration. Our colors are white, pale pink, and gold.
Add pale pink sheets and sleeping pillows.
Add a white duvet with matching square shams.
Now, the fun part, we layer complementary decorative pink pillows.
Top with a sparkly touch of gold, and we have a lovely decorated bedroom! In this room the client also has gold accents throughout the room in lamps and vases to complete the look.
