Your bedroom is your sanctuary, and making it cozy is all about creating a warm and inviting space to unwind after a long day. Let's explore some simple tips to turn your bedroom into the cozy haven you've always dreamed of!
1. Natural Fiber Bedding
The foundation of a cozy bedroom starts with your bedding. Opt for natural fiber sheets and duvet covers made from a soft but durable linen cotton blend. Not only are these materials breathable, promoting a comfortable sleep, but they also add a touch of luxury to your bed. You'll love my Cozy Prairie Linens Co. Signature Linen Cotton blend sheets for that touch of luxury. Start with a fitted sheet, then add a flat sheet. Next, add a duvet covered with my Signature Linen Cotton Duvet Cover, 2-4 sleeping pillows, and 2 euro pillows covered with my Signature Linen Cotton Euro Shams.
2. Plush Throw Pillows
Introduce a variety of plush throw pillows to your bed. Mix and match textures and colors to add depth and personality. DIY pillow covers are a fantastic way to personalize your space without breaking the bank. Consider incorporating soft faux fur, knits, or even repurposed fabrics for a unique touch. Here are some of my favourite DIY throw pillow tutorials!
I also have my own line of Signature Throw Pillows in a gorgeous and durable woven cotton. For this bed, I've used 2 Brown Floral 20x20" throw pillows accented with 1 Brown Gingham 23x16" throw pillow. Don't forget to use fluffy down or feather inserts for that cozy look!
3. Lavish Layers
Layering is the key to achieving that cozy, inviting look. Add extra blankets or throws at the foot of your bed to create visual interest and warmth. A well-layered bed not only looks inviting but also provides practical comfort during colder nights. This stunning double cotton gauze quilt and this textured cotton knit throw blanket are a beautiful addition to any bed.
4. Warm and Inviting Area Rug
Bring in a soft area rug to define your sleeping space and add an extra layer of comfort. Choose a rug that complements your bedroom decor and feels plush underfoot. This is a simple yet effective way to make your bedroom feel cozier instantly.
5. Faux or Dried Flowers for a Natural Touch
Infuse a touch of nature into your bedroom with faux or dried flowers or stems. Create your own dried flower arrangement using flowers from your garden or inexpensive faux or dried floral stems. I love dried or faux flowers and stems because they last forever! Place them in a vase on your bedside table or dresser for a natural and charming decor element. We have lots of faux floral options right here! On this nightstand, I'm using our Sweet Pea Floral Stem in a Meraki Stoneware Urn.
6. Soft Ambient Lighting
Lighting sets the mood in any room, and the bedroom is no exception. Opt for soft, warm lighting to create a cozy atmosphere. Consider using fairy lights, table lamps, candles, or wall sconces to achieve a soothing ambiance. DIY lampshades or light fixtures can add a personalized touch to your bedroom decor.
7. Soothing Scents
Elevate the cozy atmosphere in your bedroom by incorporating soothing scents. Candles, especially those with calming fragrances like lavender or vanilla, can create a tranquil ambiance. Place them on your bedside table or dresser for a touch of warmth. Alternatively, consider using linen sprays with essential oils to lightly mist your bedding, adding a subtle and refreshing fragrance to your space. Experiment with different scents to find the one that resonates most with your senses. Find all our beautiful home scent options here. My favourite candle scent for the colder months is the Nordic Cabin Candle. It smells so cozy!
From natural fiber bedding to ambient lighting, these simple tips will help you transform your space into a warm and inviting retreat. Get creative, experiment with textures, and most importantly, make your bedroom uniquely yours. Happy decorating & sweet dreams!
