There are plenty of ways we can give our bedrooms a lovely lift without having to spend a fortune buying all new furniture etc.
1. Think about changing the colour. Maybe you have a neutral room, how about throwing a nice accent colour in the mix? Choose a nice calming colour that all occupants feel good being in. Get a new doona cover, accent pillows or throw rugs. Maybe a nice print for the wall to reflect the colours. Beautiful wooden frame repainted to match scheme with treasured family photos? Colour has a strong psychological effect, it can help you to create the ambience you are after in the room.
2. Get into organisation. Utilising handy organising systems can create a more relaxed calming atmosphere. The more you can have in closed storage in a bedroom the better. Who can relax in a cluttered room? Space bag the opposite seasons clothing. Utilise under bed storage. You can also get underbed shoe storage if wardrobe space is a problem.
Reevaluate your wardrobe & storage. There are a few things you should consider when doing this. a) Clothing storage: Consider tiered hangers, vacuum pack bags for off season clothing
b) Shoe storage: Theres a huge range of different shoe storage systems available (yes, just for shoes!!) I wanted to put up a pic of some of the types....its mind blowing!! For me and my shoes I am going to have to consider fitting out a spare room to accomodate my Amelda Marcos sized collection ;)
c) Accessories storage: Jewellery organisers, tie & belt racks, bag organisers d) Seasonal/longer term storage: Under bed storage, vacuum pack bags & Various sized tubs for rarely used items
3. Think about your other senses. Ok, so we have our visual decoration looking good. What about scent? touch? Spoil yourself and get some good quality high thread count sheets, or maybe a lovely soft plush rug. Its nice to have a bedroom that smells fresh and lovely. In the mornings its best to pull back your covers, open your windows and let the fresh air get to the sheets before you make it. Without spoiling the "romantic bedroom" vibe, when you sleep and sweat apparently thats the precursor for a bed bugs haven!! Ew! Other than that its nice to have good smelling things in your room to help with the nice atmosphere. I love those ceramic globe huggers, maybe with a rich vanilla or sandalwood scent? Scented candles or even fresh flowers!
All these things are considerations that do not cost the earth but can make your main bedroom into something lovely and beautiful place to be.
