When it comes to comfortable spaces in your home, nothing beats the bedroom. The warmer and cosier it is, the better you’ll feel whenever you’re in it. But it can be difficult to maintain a balance between comfort and design aesthetic. It often seems like certain elements can only be one or the other.
Fortunately, this doesn’t have to be the case. You can easily create a bedroom that is both great-looking and still the perfect place to crash after a long day. At the same time, you’ll build a sanctuary where you can unwind and recharge over the weekend. Here are 7 things you need to make it happen.
Fabric Textures
Among all the elements that make a bedroom, the walls are usually the least synonymous with cozy. Alleviate their cold, hard look by incorporating more soft fabric textures onto your walls. This can be done with curtains, as well as bed upholstering such as headboards. Hanging a rug on the wall can also help to soften things up.
But what’s better than fabric on the walls? Fabric on the floor, of course. From rugs to soft, cosy Carpet, you can make your bedroom warmer and more comfortable all year round. After all, there are few things more soul-soothing than climbing out of bed on a chilly winter morning and feeling your soles sink into the soft carpet. It makes these mornings a little easier to cope with, so you can start your day feeling a little better about the world.
A Large Bed
When it comes to cosy beds, king size is the way to go. This is because they’re the softest element in the bedroom and are synonymous with the cosiest activity – sleep. So, it makes sense to invest in a larger bed, which also allows you to line it with more pillows and perhaps additional layers of blankets. You can’t get cosier than that.
Green Friends
Plants – not aliens – are a must-have for any bedroom. Not only do they add a calming natural vibe to the space, which in and of itself is a good way to make it feel cosier; they also do a whole lot more. Studies have shown that indoor plants can boost your creativity, concentration, and productivity.
Moreover, they can reduce stress and fatigue, helping you get up and start the day come sunrise. You might be aware of the many toxins floating around in your home, especially those that emanate from cleaning products. Plants do a good job of purifying the air around them, producing oxygen and keeping humidity in check.
Fairy Lights
We can all agree that the warm yellow hue of a table lamp is pretty cosy. However, fairy lights can take your bedroom into the world of fantasy with their magical glow. Consider laying them around your desk, along the headboard of your bed or against the wall. They’re available in warmer colours these days as well, which further adds to the cosy aesthetic.
Throws
A big, fluffy faux fur throw is the ultimate cosy piece. Set atop some minimalist monochrome bed sheets, throws can also look super chic and modern. Woollen throws offer a softer look that’s better suited for bedrooms with more faded tonal colours. Visuals aside, they also have plenty of utility as a means of staying warm on cold winter nights.
Cosy Colors
The colours we see play a major role in determining how we feel. Use this to your advantage by giving your room a fresh coat of cosy paint. Depending on the theme of your room and your tastes, you can choose from tones such as light lilac, blush pink, ice blue, lemon yellow and light grey. Lavender, soft green and deep blue are also great options.
A Canopy
Draping your bed in a canopy is a surefire way to make it infinitely cosier. You’ll effectively be cocooning your bed in an ethereal textile of serenity, albeit a pretty expensive one.
