Is your bedroom looking tired and boring? The great news is that it is relatively easy to refresh it and transform it into a highlight of your home. From investing in a new mattress and bedding to personalizing it with custom throw cushions and artistic photograph collages, here is a quick guide to sprucing up your bedroom.
Buy a new mattress and some bedding
While you probably spend a lot more time inside your bedroom doing other things, it is important not to forget its original function: to provide you with a quiet and comforting place in which to sleep and recharge. Therefore, if the goal is to spruce up your bedroom, there is no better place to start than by giving your bed a well-deserved makeover. Treat yourself to a new mattress if it has been a while – just be sure to conduct plenty of research beforehand. You should find the right mattress size for your bedroom, as well as the correct ‘fit’ when it comes to firmness, stability, and sleep temperature.
A fresh set of bedding is also a great idea to give your bedroom an inspiring new look without much effort required on your part at all.
Get rid of clutter
Clutter not only accumulates dust and takes up space, but it can also have a negative effect on your mental health. A number of studies conducted that have shown a link between cluttered homes and higher cortisol levels in one’s bloodstream. Cortisol is a stress hormone, and too much of it can impact your health. For example, high cortisol levels can result in weight gain, acne, fatigue, irritability, and slow healing.

Brighten it up
You want your bedroom to be your happy place, so why not use color to achieve that goal? Perhaps the room could do with a fresh lick of paint in something eye-catching, such as a sunny yellow or a warm orange? If you’re not keen to change the wall color, another option is to invest in some stylish lighting. Retro floor lamps are all the rage right now.
Personalize it
Make this special room your own by personalizing it at every possible opportunity. Consider investing in some personalized throw cushions or getting creative and putting together a photo collage on the wall. You could include canvas prints of your favorite pictures or decide on a theme, such as Christmas or your best family vacations. It’s entirely up to you!
Add some natural elements
If you want to breathe new life into your bedroom (literally), it can help tremendously to include some natural elements here and there. From lovely little houseplants and freshly picked flowers to bamboo blinds and soft, woolen carpets, the options are endless. This simple change can make it feel as though your room is more welcoming and can even help to combat feelings of anxiety so that you can get better quality sleep.
With the help of these tips, you are sure to savor every moment spent in your bedroom now and for many years still to come.
