6 Ways to Make Your Bedroom Feel Cosier

If there’s anywhere in the home that should feel warm and cosy, no matter the weather outside, it’s surely the bedroom! After all, this is the place you go to snuggle up under a warm duvet and to relax at the end of a long day. Yet, bedrooms aren’t always cosy places, so how do we make sure ours is? Here are some great, easy ways to make your bedroom feel cosier and more relaxing:

1. Lamps

Adding mood lighting in the form of lamps can make a big difference to how your bedroom feels. Overhead lights are stark and uninviting, but a couple of well-placed lamps on each side of the bed can work wonders when it comes to cosiness.

2. Blankets

Even if you don’t need an extra blanket to keep you warm at night, having one on the end of the bed adds extra texture and depth to the room, as well as giving the illusion of extra warmth. And you never know, one night you might just use it!

3. Pictures

If you don’t already have pictures on the wall, then add some. Empty, or even just sparsely decorated, walls never spell ‘welcome’. A room is always homier with wall art, whether it’s made up of family photos or pretty paintings.

4. Rug

If you have wooden or hard floors in your bedroom, then a rug by the side of the bed to warm your feet as you get up in the morning is essential. But even if you have carpets, the extra texture of a rug can add warmth and depth to the room as a whole.

5. Mirrors

Perhaps you get ready in the bathroom each morning, or perhaps one small mirror in the bedroom is enough for your needs, but having nothing on the wall reflecting the light means that you’re missing out big time. Mirrors give the illusion of space, as well as doubling the effect of your lamp’s warm glow.

6. Chair

Having a chair in the bedroom offers you somewhere to read, throw your clothes, or rest extra cushions and blankets. It also adds an extra dimension to the room. Choose a white wicker chair or a vintage rocking chair for a pretty look.
