Pick a New Bedroom Color

Sometimes all we need is a refresh of color to set the vibe. By painting your room, this is a great way to refresh your bedroom and gives you the opportunity to paint a color that can make your room appear larger, or smaller if that’s what you’d prefer. A good idea is to pick a color that you correspond with cozy. When we think of “cozy colors”, we think of colors like lavender, blues, grays, pastel colors, soft pinks and purples, and a sage green. You’ll want to stay away from bright and bold colors like bright red, black, and orange, because those tend to be too distracting and make your room appear smaller than it is. Don’t be afraid to test colors on your wall, it’s better to test them out before committing to the color and you end up not liking it.

Use Wallpaper

If you’re not allowed to paint your bedroom, you can apply wallpaper to the walls to give you a statement. Wallpaper is pretty popular now a days, especially to renters because it doesn’t ruin the walls and can be taken down at the end of the lease. This is perfect for bedrooms because if you are someone who changes your mind frequently, wallpaper can benefit you in many ways since you can decide where it goes, and take it down whenever you get tired of it.

We all have an overhead light, but bring in additional lighting to make it brighter and appear more nice. Grab some cute lamps, or open the windows and let in some natural light!
