Bedrooms are the places that can be called the least public rooms in the house. They are pretty personal spaces, and they must feel personal as well. When you are looking to add some extra-cozy touches to your bedroom, it is more about embracing the Danish hygge concept, a term used for describing the feeling of coziness, comfort and warmth. Hygge calls for soothing textures design-wise, candlelight, rich wood accents and soft earth tones. Hence, whether you are looking to overhaul your bedroom or simply want big-impact, low effort pointers for creating a homey refuge, following are some of the ideas for a cozy bedroom!
Whether you have an oversize bedroom or a tiny one, including wood on the walls is an ideal way of adding some sense of warmth. It could be as simple as limited oak paneling or a board cladding. When real wood is impossible, there are some vibrant wallpapers that can simulate some wood cladding. Choosing wood accents and furnishing helps develop that feel of coziness in the bedroom where paneling or wallpapers can’t be added.
Though lighter colors make a room appear larger and brighter, dark hues can envelop the bedroom, developing an ideal space to slumber and relax. Plus bed linens in a moody space can add a lovely contrast and create an ideal space to cuddle up. So, darker hues can add a dramatic coziness. Get your walls painted in a deep and relaxing cool tone for bringing in another element of comfort.
A more cozy bedroom requires more light, and not any kind of light. Nothing is worse than a harsh downlight from the ceiling, shining on you when you are in bed. Concentrate on low light and turn off overhead fixtures. It is important for an intimate mood to include several sources of lighting, incorporating bedside lamps along with some mounted ceiling lights. It will give a touch of drama. However, the best source of light is still natural light. So, let the natural light come in as well to make it a dream bedroom.

When considering colors and textures, better concentrate on calm and soothing rather than brighter colors. If you get bold graphic patterns, they won’t rest well in your bedroom. Better focus on intimate patterns that would work together while bringing sensuous and rich textures. Faux fur throws, comfy knits and quilted throw pillows in neutral tones are perfect starting points. Layer in all these softer elements in your bedroom for a more welcoming feel.
While creating a cozy bedroom, too many throws are not possible. A luxe faux fur throw would make your lazy weekend nap turn into hibernation status in a blink of an aye. A person must step onto a soft surface when he gets out of bed in the morning. However, that does not mean you need to have carpet in your bedroom for creating a cozy mood. You can go for a plush area rug that can give practical warmth. It can also add some oomph of texture. Go for small shag rugs on the sides of your bed and for more softness, layer floor coverings.
No matter if your bedroom is covered in hardwood or carpet, rugs are ideal in adding texture, color and warmth underfoot. Make sure to layer rugs in different patterns and shapes for a more comfy appearance. Blankets are good as well but not too many. Your bed must be a sanctuary, hence dress it with plenty of pillows, velvet linens, sumptuous blanket and luze duvet.
Cold, bare windows are the largest ways to prevent a bedroom from feeling comfortable and snug. Since you want to make your bedroom cozy, never skimp on window treatments. Yes, this is another tip to have in mind when you have large windows. Never include curtains in a stronger pattern. So, when drawn, they must not take away or dominate the balance of the rest of your bedroom. You never want to unplug if you have attached an iPad or phone. Make sure to make your bedroom a no-tech zone or a low tech zone. Better add natural elements like fresh flowers and go for books instead of a phone dock or a television. Make it an ideal place to relax.
