5 IDEAS TO REFRESH YOUR BEDROOM

While the rest of your home might be used to entertain and welcome friends and family, it tends to be only you and your partner who see inside your bedroom. As a result, it can often be overlooked on the décor stakes. Completely redecorating your bedroom can also be a considerable inconvenience. However, there are some simple ways to give your bedroom a bit of a makeover without too much effort. Let's look at the best five ideas to refresh your bedroom.

1. Make the most of your walls

   
   New mirrors and changing up your wall art can have a massive impact on your bedroom's aesthetics. If your wall décor has become so familiar that you don't notice it, then it could be the time to hang something new. Well-placed mirrors can help reflect the light from your windows and give your bedroom a lighter, brighter feel. Check out our Mirrors collection and our range of Art and Wall Décor for some inspiration.

2. Think texture

   
   Whatever the weather, your bedroom should be cosy and inviting. After all, the average person spends around 26 years sleeping – and the vast majority of that is in the bedroom! Adding plush throws and cushions to your bed can give it that boutique feel, transforming it from a simple sleeping surface to somewhere you'll want to snuggle up. However, introducing textures isn't confined to your bed. If your floor is tiled or comprised of bare floorboards, putting a rug down can improve its visual impact and add a welcome touch of softness to your toes!

3. Five-star storage

   
   Bedrooms can often become a dumping ground for all those bits and pieces that would otherwise clutter up the rest of your home. As a result, that clutter can often get out of control. We offer a superb range of Storage and Media Furniture that'll not only help you gain control of all those essential little extras but add a stylish dimension to your bedroom. Whether you favour the contemporary or prefer something more rustic, we’ve got something to suit all tastes.

4. Righting your lighting

   
   Lights are a vital part of any room, but possibly most important in the bedroom. Upgrading your fittings and fixtures can add much-needed atmosphere and ambience to your sleep surroundings. However, you don't have to go all-out: bedside lamps and free-standing floor lamps can increase the levels of cosiness that are an all-important part of your bedroom. Choose styles, colours, and materials that are slightly different from the theme running through the rest of your home. That way, your bedroom becomes your own special sanctuary, a place where you can close the door and leave the rest of your home behind you.

5. Seating

   
   If your bedroom is large enough, something as simple as a seat can make the space feel more inviting. Instead of being just a room where you get to sleep, it can become a private area where you sit and read or relax. If space is on your side, then a stylish bench can also act as a refuge, rather than leaving you to sit on the bed itself.
