The delicate world of bedroom decoration
Find out how you can express yourself and personalize your bedroom with some simple decoration tricks.
(4 min read) Speaking of bedroom decoration can be somewhat tricky. The Bedroom is the most personal space in someone’s home, so a variety of things to be considered come to mind. Things such as hobbies, personal preferences and the effect you want to achieve are just some of those things. One of the key points when it comes to bedroom decoration is also the age of the bedroom owner. For teenagers a bedroom isn’t just a bedroom, it’s where they have coffee and gossip with their besties, as well as where they do their school work. Age can really be the game-changer when decorating a bedroom. However, there are some generally applicable bedroom decoration ideas that can potentially work for any room and in this post, we will try to mention some major ones.
Storage Space
Every bedroom is kind of a storage space too, after all, that’s where you keep your clothes, undies and if you are me, linen. So, buying a bunch of different size fun and colorful boxes to help you organize and store your stuff is both smart and will also do miracles for your bedroom décor. You can keep your boxes on the shelves, on top of your wardrobe, under your bed, or even on top of one another depending on the type of box you chose. I am a huge fan of the drawer-boxes, the ones with handles on one side. Boxes will also provide more spots where you can hide stuff and every woman will understand why we need hiding spots and what for (*wink wink).
Pillows Pillows And More Pillows
If your good old bed is starting to look a bit dull, pillows are the way to go. There is a variety of patterns, sizes, colors, and materials on the market, so it can be a bit overwhelming when you hit the store looking for your perfect pillow. The trick is not to look for the perfect pillow! Look instead for the one that will stand out the most. If your bed is looking boring, you don’t want to buy matchy-matchy pillows to go with it. Instead, buy some completely different decorative pillows and make your bed look exciting and new. Needless to say, your bed SHOULD look fun and inviting, not like a museum installation.
Wall Art
As much as I love paintings, I am after something a bit more here. Don’t settle for a hanged painting on your wall, go for a mural or a pop-art graffiti. It will make your bedroom look more hip. On the same note a vibrant wall mosaic art is also a way to go. If you choose to hire an artist, they will probably have a ton of ideas for you, but I advise you to listen to your own instincts. After all, it is YOUR bedroom. Everything should tell a story about you, including your wall mosaic art. On the same note, if you are a movie buff or a book-nerd (proud one here), you can always enlarge and frame your favorite book cover or movie poster.
Colors
When it comes to bedroom decorations most designers stick with soothing color patterns, and I understand that. However, I a splash of your favorite vibrant color or shade won’t kill you. If you like lime, go for lime-green photo frames, if your fav lipstick is fuchsia, add a flaming pink pillow on your bed! The possibilities are endless! The point is, since your bedroom is so personal and private, you can go crazy and fully express yourself without any restraints.
To Mirror or Not…
In the end, I would like to pitch in with one of my very personal rules, but it may apply to anyone out there who feels the same way. I don’t have ANY mirrors in my bedroom. Hear me out before you start judging. Even as a small kid I never wanted a mirror in my bedroom, because I always felt like someone is looking at me while I’m sleeping. I had a small mirror that was facing my bed and when I eventually threw it out, I felt much better. Later, when I grew up, I found out that a mirror facing a sleeping bed is also bad according to Feng Shui. Experts say that a mirror can deplete the energy of a sleeper and create insomnia, as well as nightmares. However, don’t listen to me, or Feng Shui. As the popular slang says – you do you. I just wanted to show you how your personal feelings can and should dictate your sense of bedroom décor. Do what makes you feel comfortable and happy, and you can’t go wrong.

Those coloured accessories on white bedding look absolutely fabulous.
I never thought about the mirrors like that. I have one above my bed and one above my dresser. Our only wall decor is a few family photos, but we have quite a few pillows on the bed. The master bedroom is the next room that needs a facelift, though, as we’ve had the same furniture and decoration since getting married over 7 years ago!
Good luck on that master bedroom face lift!!!
I really love the storage wall space. Great idea! Extra storage in any room is a good idea. Thanks for the awesome post!
Storage space is so important especially for a bedroom! Keeps everything neat and tidy! And choosing the right colour for the bedroom makes or breaks the style your going for!
I love these ideas! I’m all about bright colors in a room. We need to re-do ours.
I absolutely love all the rooms decorated such amazing photos and jobs you did.
The storage space wall cubbies are my fav! I would love to have something like that in my home!
That article was very helpful to me. I will try out some of your tips to having a nice personalized bedroom.
I want my bedroom to feel like a calming oasis, but with a little pop of color. I think this can be accomplished with wall art, lamps, or even a comforter.
Wow! I am loving these decor ideas. I see so much inspiration for me home here.
Pillows and wall art can change the whole vibe of the room. three, four or six of them are not too much and especially in Mosaic patterns
Yes absolutely!!! When it comes to pillows and wall art there is no too much lol…I just love both.
I’m in the process of redoing my bedroom and I’m so at a loss. I finally have a chance to make it what I want and… I don’t know what I want. So many choices!
I’m in the process of redesigning my bedroom so this is exactly what I needed. Pretty storage baskets are exactly what I need due to a lack of storage space in my house. Love the ideas. Thanks!
I am so glad this helped Nicole.
That’s interesting, I think it’s the first time I’m hearing about someone who doesn’t have a mirror in the bedroom. I suppose we have one for practicality (helps us get ready, put on makeup etc) and not design.
I’m going to move to a new home so this blog post it’s pretty accurate for me right now! so many nice ideas for decoration
I love all of these ideas! My bedroom needs badly re-decorated and I am terrible at home décor type things.
Give me all of the pillows! I’m a huge fan of color but isn’t he bedroom I tend to go for more neutrals and lots of texture.
It can be hard to decorate a bedroom in a way that reflects your personality. Personally, I love lighter colours, plants, and natural elements to create an earthy but airy feel.
I love the idea of adding pillows. I have them all over and I feel like you can do so much with a few textured and fun pillows.
Oh I love the first room you showcased. I am currently struggling with getting proper bedding for our kind bed. It’s not easy to get something that hits the floor on each side of a king!
I love the idea of redecorating the bedroom. It’s always nice to rest in a comfortable bed.
So many great ideas here to lift the look and feel of your bedroom. I have used the colour and pillows idea within our room and from time to time I change things up. This post has given me a couple of additional creative ideas to go with.
I love neutrals and calming colors! Lots of grays, whites, and blush pinks!
I love pillows, mirror and also curtains down to the floor, it can create the illusion of a big and spacious room. I got some ideas from this post, thanks!
Great post! I like decorating with wall art. I feel like it tells a lot of our personality. I’ve been considering to do some wall art by myself. Thanks for the tips!
Omg so many fabulous bedroom ideas!!! I’m just loving that teal bedroom since I’m all about teal lately
I like the layered pillow look and it works great if you don’t have a headboard. I’ve gone neutral colours as that is the style in New Zealand.
I am so ready for a bedroom makeover. The bed I have is too small and the bedding is not pretty enough. I’ve been procrastinating because other things come up.
I love all white bedrooms with bold wall colors. The pop of color is really interesting. And I agree with you about storage.
You got some beautiful inspiration. I love light tones for the bedroom x

I love to have some storage space in my bedroom and your idea seems great with little baskets.
I can draw some inspiration from your bedroom decor for ours, and make it my own. I really love what you did with the space!
Oh wow, those are really stunning bedrooms which made me decide to have a quick bedroom redecoration and remodeling project,
All the designs are perfect and if you ask me it will be difficult to choose a single one for me. I love a minimal and clean decor.
My bedroom needs a face-lift and I am loving the tips that is shared here. Looks like I need to add more colours to my bedroom. Its looking quite dull.
For me, the white bedroom with colorful pillows is a winner. I’m absolutely in love with how it looks. And storage space looks amazing as well. As for the mirrors, no mirrors for us. We have none in our bedroom and it’s staying that way 🙂
I hear you!!! Feng shui or not, I made it clear in the article that I am against having a mirror in the bedroom…and it is staying that way lol
I never thought about it before, but we don’t have any mirrors in the master bedroom either! (OR our walk-in closet!) We just have a large mirror wall in our ensuite bath, and that is plenty for us! 🙂
Yup!!! Same here and I love it!!!
I so love real estate and decorating. All of these bold colors, mirrors and storage gave me life. I could easily set up shop in any room and call it home.

These are really bed room decorating ideas, When I change the current one I will try to remodel like this.
What a lovely bedroom design. We are moving to our new home in 6 months time, I need to show my husband this idea.
I love wall art when it comes to decorating. All storage space is also ideal as long as it’s discreet and stylish!
This post has me ready to toss out my bedroom an start all over again. I love a cozy bed with a lot of pillows. I hate to admit I have a hard time picking out good wall art. I love so much of it but I can’t figure out how to place it in my home so for now I’ll just admire other people’s art.
Great ideas and the round up of examples are good too. We are looking to do over two of the rooms in the house.
Completely agreed, Especially the space to be considered first. Many people make mistakes here.
My bedroom is so drab right now I got so many amazing tips from this post and I want to add more color!
Storage space is a HUGE must. I use so many different bins and try to place them in areas where they add to the decor. Otherwise, everything looks too cluttered.
Love the decor of all the bedrooms you’ve shown here. I’ve started using white bedsheets and it gives such a hotel-living vibe!
I love pillows pillows and more pillows and colors are my favorite!

What matters to me is color, a sense of calms perhaps as well as arrangement/placement of things inside the bedroom that.

I like colorful and vibrant decorative bed pillows or any details in the white interior – it looks cheerful, joyful and festive.
For me having storage space is a big deal and important. I have so many different compartments, to try to stay organized.
