Deep Clean & Declutter

Before you start decorating your bedroom space, it is important to do a deep clean and a declutter so that you are working with a blank slate of sorts. A cluttered space can feel overwhelming and it honestly stresses me out….so by decluttering you will be adding a positive vibe to your space.

The first step in decluttering your bedroom space is by getting rid of any clothing or other items in your room that you no longer use. Get rid of as much as you can so that you can see the space and envision what you may want to do to renew it. You will also want to perform a deep clean of the space…. dusting everything, wiping everything down plus vacuuming and cleaning under the bed.

Paint

The next step after decluttering and cleaning your bedroom space….. is to paint those walls. This is truly one of the easiest of ways to refresh your bedroom space and if you’re not sure what color to paint the walls….. simply go with neutrals like beige or white. The lighter colors are my go to as they help to keep the space bright and airy and these colors also help to make the room feel bigger and brighter. If you want to add a pop of color…… creating a feature wall or accent wall is the way to go. A feature wall will add visual appeal to the space and a focal point of sorts for your eyes to drift to and I find that the wall where your headboard will be placed makes the perfect spot for this. The feature wall will add that pop of color without overwhelming the space too much.

Update Your Bedroom Furniture

Updating your bedroom furniture is the perfect way to update and refresh your bedroom. If you have old, outdated furniture it can make the room feel and look tired. You can update the outdated furniture if you are handy by simply painting it or reupholstering it. This can give your room a whole new look without having to invest in new furniture.

If you simply want new furniture and have no desire to do it yourself by refinishing and redoing older pieces…. you can find gorgeous pieces that can make your room look incredible and new. You can update the space with a new Bed Frame, some new nightstands, dressers and more. They have incredible bed frames that will make the perfect focal point for your room and even better is that many styles are designed to provide additional storage. This storage space is everything as it will help to keep your space decluttered and clean going forward.

Updating Your Bedding

Another way to update that bedroom space perfectly is to simply change and/or update your bedding. This can be a simple task……. think simply updating your sheets and pillow cases and/or updating your current comforter with a new fresh duvet cover. You can add a few new throw pillows to the mix and your space will feel transformed, fresh and renewed. If your budget allows, you can go all out and purchase new bedding to create the new and inviting space of your dreams. Pick a theme and run wild with it.

Bedding is the perfect way to add some color and pattern to your room without it being to overwhelming for the space too. If you are not sure what look you are going for……. keep it simple by sticking to neutrals and then adding some colorful pillows and throws.

Add A Few Finishing Touches

Last but not least…. add a few finishing touches to the space. I love adding plants to every room in my home. They add that perfect pop of color and just look really nice in the space plus their natures natural air purifiers. You can also add a new piece of wall art, add a few new lamps to light up your space perfectly and any other little pieces here and there that will dress up the space to make it your go-to retreat. I love a stack of books on my nightstand, a cute clock and some picture frames of loved ones too.

So what do you think about these tips for refreshing and udpating your bedroom?! These are just a few simple ways to give your bedroom space that much needed makeover. By simply decluttering, cleaning, painting the walls, updating or replacing your furniture and by refreshing or updating your bedding, plus adding a few finishing touches…. you can tranfrom your bedroom into that oasis that you have been dreaming of.
