1. Stay organised with furniture you love
Your bedroom should be the place you can go to escape the world and unwind. Having thoughtfully considered furniture to tuck away your clothes and keepsakes will undoubtedly create a calmer and more cohesive environment, especially when they’re pieces you love to look at. The new Irvine Locker range works perfectly in the bedroom - the Double Locker can house clothes and store accessories while the Single Locker works well as a bedside table with two shelves to place all the essentials. Since it’s such a versatile collection you can have a uniform look throughout your home with other pieces in the range like the 2-Door or Tall locker.
2. A cosy armchair or bench
If space allows, adding an armchair into the corner of your bedroom can serve many purposes. Whether using it to prepare your outfit for the next day or simply to have a spot to sit back and relax aside from the bed. It also makes the room feel complete, by optimising a low-traffic area.
A bench or ottoman at the end of the bed has a similar effect with the added advantage of additional storage. You could use a Storage Ottoman to tuck away extra throws and cushions as the weather warms up, plus it's a handy spot to slip on your shoes as you head out the door.
3. Wall decoration
Wall art and mirrors are great investment pieces to set the tone of your space. Whether you want to warm up your space or you simply want to break up white walls, think about art that feels calming and that you won’t get sick of looking at every day. We love the softness of Velvet Magnolia Artwork. If you prefer something minimal, a mirror can be a great option that also helps to make smaller rooms feel larger and more inviting.
4. Layering in cushions, throws and additional decor
Cushions and throws are a fun and cost-effective way to set the tone for the rest of the room. They can freshen up the look of existing bedding plus provide additional comfort on cold nights. Think about pairing a cushion or two that have unique textures or bold tones that stand out and contrast. If there’s a piece of art you love in your room already, connect it to your bedding by opting for a cushion in similar tones.
Lamps, ornaments and home fragrance are great finishing touches to any room, but particularly in the bedroom to provide mood lighting, personal style and a welcoming scent.
5. Rugs
Don't underestimate the power of a good rug! While it might not be high on your priority list, rugs can make a huge difference to the comfort of your space. If you’re dealing with cold floorboards or ageing carpet, adding a fluffy sheepskin or wool rug could make all the difference to the feeling of your bedroom, providing a soft landing for your feet from morning to night.
The bedroom can be an easy space to overlook, as high-traffic spaces like the lounge and dining room often take preference, as we gather and entertain. Spring is a great opportunity to do a refresh just for you, as the seasons shift and we prepare for warmer days ahead.
