Your bedroom should be a place where you can relax and recharge. It’s not just about the cosy bed you’ll get into on an evening, although that is a major element! Your bedroom needs to be a space that keeps you coming back for more, providing you with a cosy retreat that helps you escape from those wintery evenings and enjoy some relaxing, wind down time. It’s easy to capture that homely, welcoming atmosphere and here are a few décor tips and staple pieces that will ensure your bedroom is a cosy sanctuary that you’ll never want to leave.

 

Lighting

 

 

 

The bedroom is somewhere that you can escape, like your own little paradise, and lighting is key in creating that perfect atmosphere. On a dark, wintery evening you don’t want harsh lighting to prevent you from snuggling down and recharging those batteries. Opting for some soft, gentle lighting will help to create a homely, relaxing atmosphere that enables you to switch off and de-stress. Whilst the main light is always essential, especially when the dark mornings roll in, investing in a chic bedside lamp on either side of your bed will add that gentle glow that you want in your bedroom. You can even find bedside lamps today that have a special switch that enables you to dim the lighting to the suitable brightness for you!

 

Colour Scheme

 

 

 

You often find that your bedroom is a place where you can be a little more creative and add a little extra personal style into the décor. Choose a colour scheme that is warm and inviting, such as a neutral palette. The great thing about a neutral palette is that whilst it brightens and warms your room, you can still add bursts of colour as and when you wish with some accessories and furniture. Over the autumn/winter months, introducing in some darker, richer colours will emphasise that cosy, relaxing feel and add a seasonal touch too.

 

Bedding

 

 

 

Whilst the bed is the most obvious part of the bedroom that provides comfort and a cosy touch, there are some great ways in which you can really make your bed the cosiest, warmest place for you to snuggle up and go to sleep. Adding a thick, heavy duvet to your oak bed with some plump pillows will instantly create a cosy look. You could then look at placing some stylish cushions to the mix, to fill out the bed a little more and make it that little more inviting. You could even look at placing a throw at the bottom of the bed, which is ideal for those colder evenings when you need that little extra to keep you warm and cosy.

 

Introduce a Rug

 

 

 

Rugs are the one item that can add a huge amount of warmth to a rooms overall atmosphere. You can add a rug to any style flooring, from wooden to carpet, and they will still look the part. Introducing a rug to your bedroom won’t just add a warm touch, it will also add character and style, making your bedroom stand out and look complete. Rugs are perfect for adding a cosy touch and can help create the perfect finished look.

 

Add a Scent

 

 

 

The aroma of your bedroom can play a large part in the overall atmosphere of your bedroom. Adding some beautifully scented candles will really emphasise the cosy feel and create a gorgeous aroma throughout your bedroom. You can find certain scents that help to wind down and relax, such as Lavender and Vanilla. If you’re not sure about candles, there are still some great alternative options such as incense or room scents that you can simply leave to fill the room with a lovely scent. There are also lost of seasonal scents combining gingerbread and cinnamon if you’re wanting to capture that festive spirit.
