11 Simple Changes For an Instant Bedroom Refresh 

 

 

1. Add or Change Out Your Area Rug

Do you have an area rug in your bedroom? If yes, then maybe it’s time to switch it out with a new one. It’s truly amazing how a simple rug can transform the look and feel of a room. If you don’t have or haven’t ever had an area rug in your room, maybe it’s time to add one! Even if you have carpet in your bedroom, a nice area rug that goes along with your color scheme will really pull your room together and give it a nice cozy but aesthetically pleasing look. Adding an area rug to a room is a perfect example of a simple change for an instant bedroom refresh! If you are wanting to add an area rug to your space, this one on amazon is my favorite and comes in so many great color options!

 

2. Rearrange Your Furniture

This might seem silly, but rearranging furniture can seriously change the look and feel of a room. Especially if you have had your furniture in the same places for years, doing something simple like changing which wall your bed is against can instantly refresh your bedroom! Even if it’s just you moving a dresser to the opposite wall, rearranging your furniture can instantly refresh your bedroom!

 

3. Update Your Bedding or Add Some New Pillows

This is a simple but yet great way to refresh your bedroom and is actually also pretty inexpensive! You can find great deals on bedding and pillows of all sorts at stores like TJMaxx and HomeGoods or probably any local home store you have. If you aren’t able to find what you like in your price range at a local store, here is a great amazon option that is both inexpensive and has many great color options. Getting a new comforter for your bed and some nice coordinating accent pillows can make a world of a difference when trying to give your bedroom an instant refresh. If you want to go a little extra, add on a nice throw to the end of your bed!

 

4. Add a Headboard to Your Bed

If you already have a headboard, go right ahead and skip to number five! But if you don’t have a headboard, here me out– adding one can seriously transform the look and feel of your bedroom. Even if you have a basic metal frame for your bed and don’t want or have the funds to purchase a whole new bed frame right now, adding only a headboard will make such a difference in trying to instantly refresh your bedroom!

 

5. Add or Change Out Your Curtains

Ok, I don’t know about you, but I feel like curtains make SUCH a difference in a room. If you don’t have any curtains, add some and see what I mean. Let’s say you do have curtains but feel like they are outdated or have been up for years and could use some change, try changing them out along with a new rod and see the difference it makes in your space. If you want a more luxurious, expensive look, then I strongly suggest hanging the rod closer to the ceiling than the window and four to ten inches beyond the window frame on each side. This will make your window appear larger and will make your room also feel larger. If there is one thing you do to instantly refresh your bedroom, let it be the curtains!!

 

6. Add Wall Artwork or Hang Some Photos

I don’t suggest going crazy with this one, but I do think that a little bit of something on walls is needed so they don’t look so bare. Just a few simple wall art pieces or a few family photos is enough to give your room a homier and more refreshed feel. If you are like me and don’t like a ton of things on your walls, adding just a few pieces of artwork or photos can give an instant bedroom refresh!

 

7. Give Your Walls a Fresh Coat of Paint

This can really be a game changer in trying to refresh your bedroom. Even if you aren’t wanting a drastic change in colors for your walls, try going even a little bit lighter or darker than your current shade and see the feeling of change it brings to your space.

 

8. Add a Large Mirror

Adding a mirror to a space will bring a feeling of a larger room than it actually is. Adding a mirror somewhere in your room can really help make your room feel more luxurious feeling and give your room an immediate refresh feel!

 

9. Change Out Your Lamps

If you don’t currently have any lamps in your room, I’ll start by saying..add one or two! A lamp on top of your side table or dresser can really give off a great, roomy but chic look to a room. If your lamps are old out outdated, try swapping them out for some new ones! If you don’t necessarily want to change your entire lamp, try opting for just a new lamp shade. This is a great way to give your bedroom an instant refresh!

 

10. Add An Accent Wall

 

This for sure is pricier and more time-consuming, but if you are up for it and it’s in your budget, an accent wall is a sure way to refresh a bedroom. If you’re like me and have no clue how to even start to do a DIY accent wall, some YouTube videos will do the trick and have you feeling like you can accomplish one! Depending on your style of your bedroom, there are many different types of accent walls to pick from. Do a quick Pinterest search, make a trip to your local home improvement store, and with some video tutorials you will be all set!

 

11. Do a Thorough Clean and Declutter

You may not think that cleaning and decluttering can really play a part in an instant bedroom refresh, but it seriously CAN. If your room isn’t well organized and your floors are full of clutter, you will likely not feel in the mood to do anything further with refreshing your space, so I would start with a good deep clean and decluttering of any space or corner in your room that is not tidy. Do you have clothes that you haven’t worn in years? Do a good try on haul and get rid of clothing you no longer will wear. Keep your room clean and as well organized as you can so that you feel at peace in your space. If you aren’t much of a cleaner and don’t know where to start with decluttering and organizing your space, I have a post on that just for you right here!
