With so many bedroom ideas, it can be tricky to figure out how to finalize yours. More than any other room in your house, your bedroom needs to be a sanctuary where you can unwind every night, spend some time with your thoughts, and reflect. We've all had those exceptionally long days at work. A well-designed bedroom can be the one thing you look forward to when you finally come back home. There are many tips on how to decorate a bedroom, but these bedroom design ideas are the backbone of creating a blissful oasis right at home. 

#1 - Start with Your Dream Bed

The focal point of any bedroom decor idea, small or spacious, should be the bed. Once you have your floor plan and everything measured out, think about the type of bed you want. Your bed should be super comfortable throughout the seasons. Pick your bed and bedding keeping that in mind! Remember that furniture should fit the room it lives in, so stay away from extra large beds that will make your space look cramped and small. On that same note, if you have a spacious bedroom, don't be afraid to bring in chairs or coffee tables to make a little nook for yourself (we'll have more on that later).

#2 - Get Comfy Bedding

Once you've landed on the perfect bed, move on to comfy bedding. You want the ideal place to carry out all your unwind activities, no matter the season. Think movie marathons in summer or snuggle sessions in fall. Your bed should accommodate your different needs with absolute ease. Go for comfortable cushions and pillows that you can prop yourself on when you want to binge-watch your favorite Netflix series or finally read that book you've meant to get to for ages. Comfy throws and weighted blankets are never a bad idea. So, when the season is just right to get cozy with a cup of hot cocoa and your all-time-favorite movie, you've got everything you need already! Another fantastic bedroom decor idea is a mattress topper. This game-changer can take the comfort level up a few notches. We really recommend trying it out!

#3 - Add Hidden Storage Space Everywhere

For a bedroom to stay peaceful and calming, it needs to remain clutter-free. A clutter-free space equals a clutter-free mind, we like to say! The best way to keep your bedroom organized is by adding as many storage pieces as you possibly can. Pick roomy bedside tables with drawers to keep books, lotions, and other items you'll need within your reach but should be out of sight. A skirted table or small dresser will help you have more storage by your bedside. You could even opt for a storage bench that can help you hide away extra sheets, pillows, or blankets. 
A foolproof bedroom interior design concept is to include at least one drawer and two bedside tables. However, you can be creative and find a bed frame with storage space or find customizable closet solutions to keep everything tidy.

#4 - Keep the Colors Calm & The Decor Simple

We've all gone on a Pinterest binge, pinning the decor we love to remind us to incorporate these into our own homes (when we finally have one). But, if you end up cramping everything you've ever loved into your bedroom decor, you'll end up with a hotchpotch of things that don't translate well. While we all want our rooms to showcase our personality, the saying "less is more" couldn't be more apt for your bedroom. To make sure your bedroom looks like a blissful oasis, you want to keep paint colors neutral and calm, and you want the decor to be simple. Invest in a few statement pieces to infuse your personality into your decor, but be careful not to go overboard.

#5 - Give Your Windows Some Much Needed TLC

Forget about finding the best blackout curtains for your windows. When it comes to bedroom windows, they can make or break the space. Be playful, and don't be afraid to choose from lightweight fabrics that will add freshness and lightness to your design. Remember, window treatments set the mood for the room. A blackout curtain will make your bedroom look smaller and darker, whereas a chiffon curtain might add more light and make the bedroom look spacious. You can find different alternatives to make sure your windows are giving you the ultimate best bedroom experience.

#6 - Layer Your Bedroom Lights

In the bedroom, lighting is everything. The right lighting can enhance your mood, set the tone, and create a serene space for you to unwind in. Layering lights in the room means you have ambient lighting to illuminate the whole room. Then, add a couple of focus lighting for reading and accent lighting to add soft illumination. Install separate on/off switches for each light, so you can be selective and customize your lighting. Use lighting lamps to add pops of color or style throughout the room.

These are the three lighting styles you need in your bedroom:

#7 Relaxing Scents & Sounds 

Like your favorite spa, creating a calming ambiance makes all the difference in the world. It's not just about your bed and your covers. You have to feel the atmosphere of your bedroom calm you down the second you step into it. The quickest way to achieve this is by introducing scented candles into your bedroom decor. Lavender, rose, and vanilla are just some of the scents that are considered calming and soothing the world over. Don't restrict yourself to candles if that's not really your vibe. You can always go for a bowl of potpourri, a vase with fresh flowers, or a plug-in air freshener. The scent of lavender can actually help you sleep better, so we recommend trying that scent out first! Another bedroom decor idea is to have calming, ambient music playing in the background. You will automatically start breathing easier and feeling more relaxed.

#8 - Leave Room for a Bedroom Nook

You don't need a spacious bedroom to have a nook. Even in small spaces, you can set the area for a cozy nook. Whether you want to read your favorite books or have a dedicated space to work from home, most bedrooms will have room for a nook. If you're going to set one up, keep the rest of your bedroom design in mind and try to keep it as simple as possible. A focused light, a comfortable chair, and a coffee table or small desk are all you need to make. 

Start with these nook basics:
