Bedroom decoration is a key issue in the design process for any home. The bedroom is the most personal room in most homes. It is a place we go to seek sanctuary from the outside world as well as to get the rest we need every day. There is a real need to give your bedroom a ‘facelift’ on a regular basis as it is essential that it does not become ‘stale’ and boring. Even a few relatively simple improvements can make a big difference. It can be cheerful and calming for the kids, as they feel they own the room. Wanting to impress friends, neighbors, and guests, homeowners tend to get tunnel-vision, focusing on public areas of the home. It’s time to be selfish and turn your attention to bedroom decorating. After all, before you take that morning shower, you must first get out of your bed. And this is where bedroom decoration comes in.
There are several ways to update a room. The new trends in bedroom design make it easy. Simply bring in new accessories. Bedroom decoration can be loads of fun. Install new lighting fixtures. Re-upholster traditional chairs in a contemporary fabric for a bit of eclectic punch. Paint a piece of flea market furniture in a metallic finish or a bright color. Paint it black. Put new eco-friendly linens on the bed. Paint the walls a soothing modern gray or enliven the space with a punch of bright color on one wall.

The center of every bedroom is the bed. It’s ostensibly why the room exists in the first place. Obviously, your first concern will be the mattress, but don’t neglect your headboard. It’s difficult to underestimate the importance of psychological factors in getting a good night’s sleep. The feel and even the appearance of your bed when you get into it can translate into how you feel when you get out of it. A headboard bookcase is not only a good bedroom decorating idea, it also increases your bed’s functionality, allowing you to read a book before you fall asleep without getting up to turn the light out. You can also set a glass of water on a headboard bookcase in case you get thirsty in the middle of the night.
