Decor Elements to Incorporate into the Bedroom


Fall fashion week is taking place in New York and spring fashion trends are right around the corner. Just as you would update your wardrobe seasonally, as each season brings new trends, you should update your home decor as well. The bedroom is the place to start. New decor and design elements can leave you feeling energized and refreshed! Try incorporating these design trends, courtesy of Apartment Therapy:

1. A little bit of whimsy
Your bedroom is the first place you wake up in and the last place you see before you close your eyes. If you want to cultivate the kind of attitude in your life where you don't take too many things seriously, isn't best you create a starting and ending space where a little bit of whimsy resides? And the best part is you can define "whimsy" any way that you'd like. You could just have fun colors, favorite art, funny sayings, quirky objects — anything that might mean whimsy to you. 

2. Pattern that excites
In the same vein as the above suggest, though a soothing, softly colored bedroom is a great place to fall asleep in, if you have trouble waking up, you might consider creating a bedroom space that gives your eyes lots of visual stimulation as soon as they blink open. One of the easiest ways to do that is with pattern layering on top of pattern.

3. Bed covers that look good a little crumpled
Though you should always aim to make your bed every morning (it's just nicer to come home to at the end of a long work day), you should aim to fill your bedroom space with forgiving materials —the kind of bedsheets and more that don't have to be made with military precision to look good. This will help save your sanity and cultivate a more cozy, casual feel to the space.

4. A little bit of romance
You don't have to go all pink all the time in your bedroom, but you should look for ways to add a little romance in to your space, whatever that might mean to you. So perhaps that is a touch of pink color on an unexpected decorative element. Or maybe a a fresh bouquet of roses. Perhaps it's just luxuriating in sumptuous materials you treat yourself with.

5. A unique nightstand & 6. A unique headboard
You don't have to have both. Or really even have either. But if your bedroom needs a boost with its decor, chances are you can excite with a unique nightstand or headboard.

7. Oversized plants
Any plant of any size in your bedroom will look lovely and bring a burst of nature into your space. But if you really want a dynamic look, look to oversized plants to really fill in the boring spaces of your bedroom.

8. Wall-mounted bedside lights
Not only is good lighting vital next to your bedside, but using wall-mounted lights just make sense. You can usually adjust them to whatever task — like reading — you need, and they save space on your nightstand. They usually almost always look rad.
