How to Bedroom Decor

by Glamistahome

In this post I have some tips about decorating a bedroom. One of my very first posts was about bedroom decor and you enjoyed it, so I thought I share some tips and improved shots of where I lay my head to rest.

The preferred color pallet for my bedroom decor is very neutral. I love to decorate with white I typically reach for white sheets, using colorful accents only in a few throw pillows. While I love decorating with flowers in the living room areas, I prefer to keep those away from the bedrooms. Some flowers have intense smells and as mentioned above might trigger allergies.

But I love using candles to cozy-up the mood. Do you have a favorite candle you prefer lighting up in the bedroom?

While I believe that, as in any room, details are very important, sometimes making the bed “just right” makes the room appear so much more put together. Watch this short tutorial video how to make and style your bed He shares some great decor tips about the pillows.

I love your beautiful bed and the colors are so soothing. I want to use white on my bed as well but I have two cats and they do go outside sometimes. So I am concerned that if I use white, it may stay dirty all the time. Any suggestions?

  Hello Karen, thank you for the question. I too have pets a cat and a dog. I used to worry about their dirt, but soon realized that I can't be limited to dark colors that don't really fit my personality, because I have pets. I love my little nuggets and they are allowed on all furniture. I also think that if something gets dirt I have to wash it/clean it regardless of the color. So I might as well go with what I really love. :) With that said my main furniture pieces are white, I tend to go with brighter colors. I do wash my sheets weekly and clean regularly. i'd say just go for the color you want. There are materials that you can easily wipe down if there is dirt. Get stuff that is easy to wash and clean. Add pillows and decorative blankets that can cover areas that are frequently used by your cats. For example, my dog prefers to lay on the pillows, so those are a little darker or off white. Hope that helps and let me know if you have any other questions.

  @Glamistahome Thanks for taking the time and effort to discuss in detail your suggestions. And, I will use them! Been thinking about changing my bedroom for two years and wanted something similar to yours, however, I was concerned about the dirt and cleaning all the time. After reading your reply, I realized how silly it is. I do love your bedroom and would like to incorporate these colors in other parts of my house. Am so glad I found this website...don't you just love it!

  @ @Karen Criner Yes, I just joined a few days ago, but I have been loving Hometalk, great community. Glad I could help. I love changing up my room and I do it all the time. It's funny how just a few accessories can completely transform the entire feel of the space. As long as you have neutral basic pieces you can change the little décor pieces based on your mood. :) Big kiss to your two kitties.

  @Glamistahome I love to decorate and re-invent 'stuff.' We think along the same lines...changing curtains, pillows and accessories is a lot more inexpensive than replacing the bigger items. And, if I do not like the color of a item, I will paint it, faux finish it, decoupage it, etc. Taking it a step further, I have repainted mats in picture frames and changed the color of the frames. I have even added little dots of color to artwork if you can believe that! Last, I will never pay big money for decorative pillows if I can make it myself...but, sometimes you just have to splurge. The best to you and your little nuggets. LOL!

@glamistahome we are moving into a new home, I am not in the master bedroom, but want my room to feel warm and sofisicated. I am thinking of a darker gray wall with Black and White and a touch of red. I can not make up my mind as far as what color the headboard should be. I see black and gray pilliows sitting on the bed but do not know how to arrange colors, Black headboard with gray bedding, White with gray etc. any ideas. Thanks

  @ @Suzanne Phillips Hello Suzanne, thank you for the question. You have picked a really beautiful inspiration room. Colors are a funny thing, especially in the bedroom. Red is a very passionate color and I have heard people complain that they can't rest. It's because they have a red color all over the bedroom. I would go with red only as an accent color in decorative pillows, throws, maybe a picture and flowers. If you choose red as a wall color I would go with the wall where you will rest your headboard. I personally like calmer, more neutral colors especially for the bedroom. Now for the pillows, you could go with a monochromatic look, but I would break it up, similarly to the picture, with your white linen pillows. So there is a little contrast and it's not too matchy-matchy, which makes it a little boring for the eye. Another alternative is of course to work with different textures of the same color. You can have leather, faux fur and linen or silk. My headboard is actually brown leather, I use white pillows to give it a nice contrast and brighten up the area. I add a few accent pillows in a different color. If you opt to go for a gray wall, I'd go with beige or gray and white pillows. Gray and white are great contrast colors. I'd have a max of 6 pillows on the bed. 4 white, 2 in an accent color. So for example, white, gray white or white on white (in different textures) and gray. If you like that black pillow, I'd select one to place in the middle. I hope that helped. Please let me know if you have any questions.
