How to Make Your Bedroom Look More Expensive
26 November, 2023
Having a beautiful bedroom to escape to and relax in at the end of each day is so important, and there are a few simple style tips to bear in mind if you want your room to look as good as it can. These will make your room look well thought out, as well as more expensive.
Invest in your Bed
Your bed is the focal point in your bedroom, so spending time and money making this look good will elevate the entire room. Start with the bed itself, and choose a style that suits the rest of the room. It could be metal for an industrial look, wooden Caesar beds for a warm natural feel, or a sumptuous fabric covered frame for a more glamorous look. Once you’ve decided on your bed, it’s time to focus on the bedding. High-quality sheets and a luxurious duvet cover can really elevate the comfort and appearance of your bed. Look for sheets with a higher thread count for extra softness. When it comes to colours, neutral tones are usually a safe bet – they provide a timeless and sophisticated look. Consider adding decorative cushions and throws to create layers, giving a cosy feel. It’s amazing how a well-dressed bed can transform the entire feel of your bedroom. You can also mix and match cushions of different sizes and textures to create a cosy and stylish looking arrangement. Cushions not only enhance comfort but also contribute to the overall aesthetics of the room. You can experiment with colours and patterns that complement your bedding. This simple addition can make a big impact, turning your bed into a luxurious haven.
Full Length Curtains
It’s tempting to stick with sill-length curtains in the bedroom, but it’s always worth upgrading to full length. This brings a real drama to the window and generally looks more expensive and well thought out. Choose heavy fabrics like silk or velvet for a luxurious feel, or alternatively go with lightweight voiles for a light and airy feel – you can always use blinds to adjust the light, and simply have the voiles as a way to dress up the window to make it look pretty.
Good Lighting
Lighting sets the mood in your bedroom, so it’s important to get this right. A statement light fixture like a chic chandelier or a modern pendant light will draw your attention for a high impact statement. Add some matching lamps on your bedside tables so you can easily adjust the light, as well as bringing some style to your bedroom. A tip to make everything look more expensive is to choose large sized lamps, avoid small ones which can look cheap and have no impact.
Choosing the Right Colours
Your bedroom’s colour scheme plays a crucial role in creating a the right atmosphere. It can be worth sticking to neutral tones like ivory, taupe, or charcoal for a timeless and sophisticated backdrop. These shades are calming and can easily be paired with a bolder colour with your soft furnishings. The right colours will make a room look expensive and high-end but they need to be right, always go with samples first before committing to a colour as it can look different on the wall compared with in the pot.
Bringing the Outdoors In with Plants
Greenery adds visual interest and also contributes to a calming atmosphere in a bedroom. Plants are also fantastic for improving air quality and creating a connection with nature, but if you’re not green fingered even some faux plants will bring some texture, color and interest to the space in a classy way.
