Refreshing Your Bedroom

Fall is right around the corner and a bedroom makeover is a perfect way to ensure that you have a relaxing, comfortable place to unwind after a long day. With the cooler weather that comes with the changing seasons, it’s important to create a space that brings out warm and relaxing vibes. Check out these helpful bedroom makeover tips:

  • Update your wall color. When it comes to fall, we often think of darker colors that can be found in different aspects of the season. Deep reds, oranges, and browns are the first few that come to mind. However, for your bedroom, it’s perfectly okay to go with light colored walls! According to the expert Glenview painters, using a light color on your walls will actually open up your room and make it feel larger. In addition, light walls are the perfect base for dark furniture pieces, bed sets and window treatments. Beiges and creams provide a beautiful starting point for the room as a whole and will play nicely with colored accent walls if you choose to incorporate those into your bedroom design. 
  • Accent with dark hues. Speaking of accent walls, dark colors will bring a warm energy to your bedroom and balance out the light color used on the rest of the walls. Any dark wood furniture you’ve incorporated will stand out beautifully against these accent walls. Add any photos or wall hangings to the accent wall to make them really stand out! Your accent wall can be a rich color of your choosing, so get creative. Jewel tones like navy, plum, and ruby are visually stunning and easily give the bedroom area a sense of comfort, warmth, and elegance.
  • Incorporate scent. Sprucing up your bedroom for fall isn’t limited to the decor. Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest difference! Accessorizing with scent is a great way to welcome the season into your bedroom. From candles, diffusers and wall plugins to candles and potpourri, you can find scented accessories in a variety of options including pumpkin, cinnamon, and apple. Warm up your room with the delicious smells associated with fall for a welcoming place to relax after your day is done!
  • Dress up your bed. One of the simplest ways to upgrade your bedroom for the fall season is to swap out your bedspread. Opt for one that features a rich fall color, pattern, or motif. You can also take this time to put heavier sheets on your bed, as the nights will start to get colder and you’ll need all of the warmth you can get. Similarly, swap out your summer throw pillows for bulkier fall ones to complete the look.

A bedroom update gives you a chance to create your ultimate relaxation destination for the coziest season of them all – fall! Cozy up in your newly decorated space and make the most of the changing weather by choosing colors that make you feel warm and comfortable. Light colored walls are a great starting point for building a color palette, and the deep colors of fall blend well with dark furniture pieces. Finish off your revamp with the scents of the season to make your bedroom a dreamy escape.
