    14 Cool Things to Put in Your Bedroom

    Your bedroom is your private space to relax and escape the stress of the world. It should be filled with your favorite things and decor that makes you happy.

    This isn’t like decorating your dorm room with cool stuff in college. You have a master bedroom that needs to fit who you are today.

    This could be creating a relaxing and peaceful space, or perhaps it’s a shine to your passions. There are plenty of bedroom decor ideas to help you get started.

    Check out these cool things to put in your room and get inspired to revamp the decor in your bedroom.

    1. Elements From Nature

    The easiest way to add warmth and comfort to your bedroom is by adding touches of nature to your home decor. One way to do this is by adding real living plants to your bedroom. This brings in color and life.

    Don’t worry, if you don’t have a green thumb there are plants that look beautiful and require very little care. A snake plant, purple passion plant, Chinese evergreen, spider plant, and pothos are all great options.

    Skip the succulent and air plant, these are deceptively harder to grow than you think. Air plants are great for your bathroom, though. The natural moisture is high and this is the perfect environment for them.

    If you refuse to have living plants in your bedroom, you can still bring nature into your bedroom. Add wood elements or decor made out of natural materials. You could have wood furniture. Or you could have wall decor that’s made from driftwood, dried palms, pampas stems, or baskets woven from dried grasses.

    2. Mini Library


    If you have a collection of your favorite books, then adding a mini library is a perfect addition to your bedroom and a natural place to keep your book collection. With your mini library in your bedroom, you’re more likely to grab a book to read than you would if your library were in the living room or home office.

    Depending on how large your book collection is, you could have a single floating shelf or a large freestanding bookcase like this six-tier bookcase.

    Even if your book collection is small, consider buying a storage solution that is bigger than you need. Then you can break up the book collection into smaller groups and scatter decorative pieces among them.

    If your bedroom is small, consider using multiple shelves mounted on the wall. Doing this keeps your floor space open by utilizing the vertical space in the room.

    3. Accent Wall

    Adding an accent wall is an easy addition to a bedroom. The wall behind the headboard is the perfect bedroom wall to turn into the accent wall. This idea works in both large and small rooms.

    To create your accent wall, you could simply paint the wall a different color, but this is a bit boring. Instead, try using removable wallpapers. It comes in sheets with a backing that you will peel off and then adhere the paper to the wall.

    Unlike traditional wallpaper, modern versions come in small and large-scale patterns and designs. Some designs look like paintings and photographs. Some have mural designs that create a large-scale scene. You’ll even find textured wallpaper that mimics the look of real bricks.

    If wallpaper doesn’t appeal to you, another option is to use wood trim pieces. These are long, thin wood strips that you can easily cut to size and create a geometric pattern.

    You could build squares, chevrons, or a freeform design. Paint your trim pieces to match the color of the wall for a subtle textured effect, or paint it another color for a contrasting design.

    4. Decorative Lighting

    Treat Yo Self LED Neon Light

    If your bedroom only has one light source, it’s time for an upgrade. You need more than a single light in your ceiling fan. Layering light sources is an interior design trick that immediately elevates the look of your bedroom.

    Ambient light illuminates your entire bedroom. Your overhead light does this, but you can add a floor lamp to add to it. Task lighting is directed light that’s meant to illuminate your workspace. This is the best type of light for your reading chair, desk, vanity, or nightstands.

    The third type of light is accent lighting. This is the type of light where you can have the most fun. Fairy lights are popular in teen rooms.

    There are more options than just fairy lights, though. Paper lanterns come in various shapes, sizes, and colors. Arrange a couple of these hanging lights in a corner for a decorative element that also adds light.

    A custom neon light like this one is also a funky and cool option. You can buy LED strip lights and mount them almost anywhere in the room. Try placing them under your bed frame, under the shelving, behind the headboard, on the crown molding to illuminate the ceiling, or anywhere else in the room you want to add an accent.

    5. Hang a Mirror


    It doesn’t matter if you have a large or small space; a mirror can do wonders for your bedroom.

    Hanging a large mirror on the wall or having a floor-length mirror is a great bedroom idea because not only does it make your bedroom seem brighter and larger, but it also gives you a place to get ready.

    If you have a large bedroom, embrace the space and purchase a floor-length mirror like this one from NeuType. For the best look, choose a mirror based on height.

    Take the tallest person’s height that will be using the mirror and subtract six inches. This is the minimum length that your mirror should be to minimize distortion.

    However, a mirror needs to be at least half of the tallest person’s height to be able to show their entire body. It also needs to be wide enough to see your entire body easily.

    When choosing your mirror, there are wall-mounted, leaning, and freestanding mirrors. The one you choose will depend on your budget, taste, and space available. Freestanding mirrors take up the most room, then leaning, and wall-mounted takes up the least.

    Pay attention to the frame. A slimline frame will look modern, while a thick wood frame can look more rustic or farmhouse. A metal frame with decoration can look vintage-inspired.

    6. Gallery Wall


    While most people think about putting a gallery wall in their living room or main hallway, there’s no rule that says you can’t put one in your bedroom. A gallery wall is a perfect solution for when you have a lot of wall decor.

    You could have all photography shots or have a mix of photos, paintings, and other wall art. If you have small figurines, you can even include a shelf for them. This mix of items will create an eclectic mix of items for a lot of variety and visual interest.

    If you prefer a more uniform look, aim for a minimalist approach. Frame each piece with the same mat and frame. Then hang the art in a grid pattern where each frame is evenly distanced from the other frames around it.

    You don’t have to frame your pictures. If you have a large collection of images or like to change them out regularly, then a more mobile display solution is going to work better.

    Use a photo clip string light kit like this one from Dopheuor to string wire up in horizontal lines and then space clips out on the wire. You can then use the clips to hold pictures. This makes it easy to switch the pictures out as often as you want.

    7. Area Rug

    Hide your ugly carpet with a large area rug. If you have tile or wood floors, a rug is a must for making your bedroom feel warm and cozy. No one wants to get out of bed and immediately put their feet on a cold, hard floor.

    Area rugs around or under the bed cushion your feet and eliminate the chill. The cool thing about rugs in your bedroom is that you have a lot more freedom in sizing. If you have a decent budget to work with, you can buy a large area rug that starts under the bedside tables and extends down the entire length of the bed.

    A smaller and more affordable rug can look just as nice if it starts in front of the nightstands. If your budget is tight, stick with two smaller rugs on either side of the bed.

    If your rug is going under the bed, don’t worry about the pattern and color too much since the majority of it will be hidden under the rug. If your rug is going to be visible, then look for one that has a pattern that ties all of the room’s colors together.

    8. Soft Elements

    Adding soft textiles is a must for your bedroom. These are the fabrics that create a plush and cozy atmosphere. This is what takes your nice-looking bedroom and turns it into a place that has an inviting interior design.

    Choose accent textiles that feel nice. Fabrics like jersey, velvet, silk, some cotton, flannel, faux fur, sateen, and fleece all look and feel soft.  Add a couple of throw pillows to your bed and accent chair.

    Don’t add too many; your furniture shouldn’t be drowning in pillows. Next, add a throw blanket to the foot of your bed. Leave it folded, and you never have to actually use it for warmth. It can be there just for visual effect.

    Accent the rest of the room with soft fabrics. For example, add an area rug to the floor, hang curtains on the window, and mount a small tapestry on the wall.

    Add curtains to the bed if you want to create a whimsical or bohemian feel. You can hang them from a four-poster bed frame. If you don’t have this bed style, you can fake it by hanging them from the ceiling and draping them to either side of the bed.

    9. Expressive Art

    Don’t leave your bedroom walls boring and blank unless you are going for the minimalist look. However, even minimalist designs have at least one decor piece. The trick is choosing one and making it the focal piece. For other interior designs, you can easily have more than one decorative item on the walls.

    While you could hang a generic piece of art that’s massed produced, this is a bit boring and will have no meaning for you. Instead, look for pieces that are handmade and speak to you. This will increase your enjoyment of the room and help your bedroom reflect who you are.

    Wall hangings are popular right now. There are even videos showing you how to accomplish this DIY project.

    Mount a small curtain rod on the wall and display your handiwork. If you aren’t crafty, you can leave the artistry to other people and just buy art that speaks to you. It can be anything from ink prints to paintings or photography. Perhaps you see a weaving that.

    10. Extra Seating

    Most people have their bed, and that’s the only seating that is available in their bedroom. It’s time to elevate your bedroom with additional seating. This gives you or someone else somewhere else to sit while in your bedroom.

    A bench at the foot of your bed or a small stool are perfect furniture pieces for getting dressed. They are also easy to scale down and fit into a small bedroom. Add a comfy armchair if you have a larger bedroom and more room to work with.

    This gives you a place to relax, read a book, or drink a morning cup of coffee. For a more relaxed bohemian or eclectic feel, try more casual extra seating like a large pouf.

    11. Bold Color Scheme

    Your bedroom is your private space. This is your room to become the interior designer you’ve always wanted to be. You can freely choose the color scheme and decoration that you love.

    Choose a bold color scheme that features your favorite color. You could go for a monochromatic look with several shades of your chosen color. Or you could pair your favorite color with neutrals like white, grey, or black. This creates a beautiful contrast and keeps the focus on your favorite color.

    You also don’t have to paint just the walls. Instead, you could paint the ceiling. Doing this creates a unique and bold design that showcases your chosen color. Don’t be afraid to paint just part of the wall. Try painting just the area on the wall that’s behind your headboard.

    The best colors for a bedroom are soft neutrals, grey, blue, and green. These are calming and soothing colors that will help your brain and body to release stress and energy. This will help you fall asleep better and wake up well-rested.

    Colors that are not ideal for your bedroom are bright red, orange, and intense sunny yellow. These colors are energizing and intense, making them better for the kitchen or living room.

    12. Smart Home Technology

    It doesn’t take a lot to upgrade your bedroom with smart home technology. There are plenty of modern bedroom ideas that will help you upgrade your bedroom. Look for ways you can add technology to make your life easier.

    Replace the light switches with ones that are compatible with Amazon Alexa or Google Home. Add smart plugs to the lights that plug into sockets. Now you can control the lights in your bedroom by voice, which is really nice when you don’t feel like getting out of bed to turn the lights on or off.

    You can also create schedules to have the lights turn on and off on their own. Add a streaming device to your TV or upgrade your TV to a smart TV. Then you have more options for how you watch your favorite shows and movies.

    You can also sync your TV to your smart home device for voice control and other convenient features. Add Bluetooth speakers around your room for a surround sound experience.

    13. Signature Scent

    Take a lesson from some of the best high-end resorts around the world. They have a signature scent that subtly wafts throughout the hotel. You can do this in your bedroom by choosing a signature scent that will evoke the feelings or energy that you want to create.

    For a bedroom, you’ll want to choose scents that are calming and relaxing. Try rosemary, lavender, vanilla, jasmine, sage, or peppermint. There are all smells that help to relax the body and mind, which will help you fall asleep faster, sleep deeper, and wake up more refreshed.

    To add your scent to your bedroom, you can buy a candle and burn it. Or you could have incense, or essential oil diffusers arranged. Turn these items into the decor by choosing beautiful candles or diffusers. Now you have something that delights multiple senses.

    14. Wall Decals

    Skip the cheesy wall decals that are a cliche quote or are a large image. Instead, look for a kit that has sheets of small decals. You can then individually place them on the wall to create a custom pattern. Try placing them evenly spaced throughout the entire wall.

    Or you could place them densely close together at the top and then gradually spread and fade them out as you work your way down the wall. Or you could randomly scatter them.

    You could place them on all of the walls or on a single wall to create an accent. There are no rules with decals, so you could mix multiple sets of decals together and make your own pattern or design.

  • What Size Rug Is Best for a Queen Bed?

    What Size Rug Is Best for a Queen Bed?

    Adding an area rug to your bedroom can give it a finished look. If you have hardwood, laminate, or tile floors, then a rug can add warmth and a sense of coziness to the room.

    Buying a rug for your bedroom isn’t like buying a rug for the other rooms in your house. Fail to get the wrong size, and your rug could completely disappear underneath the bed.

    Buy a rug that’s too big, and it’ll take over the bedroom, making it feel small and cramped. So, what size of a rug is right for a queen bed? This guide will help you buy the perfect rug for your bedroom.

    Know Your Bedroom Size

    Choosing the right rug size is about more than just the size of your bed. It’s also about making sure the rug looks good in your bedroom. You need to know your room size too. This is similar to finding out the size of your living room when buying area rugs.

    To find out the size of your bedroom, measure the length and width of the room. Then multiply these two measurements together. Now you know the shape of your room and its square footage.

    What Is a Standard Bedroom Size?

    The average American apartment bedroom is quite small at about 132 square feet, which is large enough to accommodate a queen-sized bed. This would be an 11 x 12-foot room.

    The International Residential Building Code states that a bedroom should be a minimum of 70 square feet. This would be a 7 x 10-foot room.

    Bedrooms in single-family homes average 219 square feet. That’s about 14 x 15 square feet, which is considered a standard size. If your bedroom is close to or over 300 square feet, you have a large bedroom.

     

    Know Your Bed Dimensions

    You know you have a queen-size bed, but this isn’t the full story. There is a standard size for queen mattresses that is 60 x 80 inches. However, there are also nonstandard bed sizes, such as an Olympic queen, that measures wider than average at 66 x 80 inches. Or there is the California Queen, which is longer than the average.

    Obviously, the right size you choose could change when you have a queen mattress that is bigger than the average.

    Additionally, you need to measure your entire bed. Your queen mattress sits on the bed frame, so by measuring the outside dimensions of the frame, you’ll have a better idea of how large the rug needs to be to extend beyond the bed.

    Common Rug Placements

    Once you know the size of your bed and the size of the room, you need to decide on rug placement. This will help you compare different rugs. Your bedroom rug could go under all of the furniture, none of the furniture, or only some of it.

    Anchored by the Nightstands and Bed

    If you have a large bedroom, you have enough room for the bed and two bedside tables. Take advantage of all this space and buy a large area rug that can go under all four legs of both nightstands and the bed.

    The rug will start at the wall behind the bed and nightstands but not extend out beyond the foot of the bed and to the left and right of the nightstands. This works well if you don’t have furniture or decor at the foot of your bed that would need anchoring.

    It also works well for smaller spaces that may not have the space available at the foot of the bed for an area rug to extend far beyond the foot of the bed.

    In Front of the Nightstands

    If you buy a smaller rug that’s not big enough to go completely under the nightstands, then try placing it in front of the tables. This placement works well with an area rug size that’s slightly smaller.

    Just be sure that the rug extends under the foot of the bed. Otherwise, it will look like it’s awkwardly floating in the middle of the bed.  If you have a large room, you can buy a larger rug that extends several feet beyond the foot of the bed.

    Middle of the Bed

    A third common rug placement is to have the rug start at the middle point of the bed. This is ideal when you have additional furniture at the foot of the bed. That way, the rug extends beyond the bed far enough so that the furniture is also on the rug.

    This placement is also ideal when you have a larger room with a long rectangle shape where the head of the bed is against the short wall. With this placement, you can use a vintage rug.

    Having only half of the rug hidden under the bed means you will still see the majority of the gorgeous rug’s design.

     

    Standard Rug Sizes

    Area rugs come in standard sizes. Understanding how each size will look and when it is best to use each size will help you choose the right size for your bedroom and bed size.

    4 x 6 Feet

    A rug that is 4 x 6 feet is too small to place under the bed. These are small rugs and not large enough to visually balance the size of a queen bed. However, you can still use rugs this small if you use multiple rugs. Place one on either side of the bed where you would put your feet when getting in and out of bed.

    5 x 8 Feet

    If you plan to only use one rug, the narrowest it should be is five feet. This is a perfect rug for smaller bedrooms. Place it under the bed and in front of the nightstands. It isn’t wide enough to place it under the nightstands.

    6 x 9 Feet

    This slightly bigger rug fits better into an average-sized bedroom. It gives a bit more rug space on either side of the bed, making it the right size for most people. Despite it being a large rug, it’s still not big enough to extend all of the way under the nightstands. However, you could shift it to be just in front of the front legs of the nightstands. Additionally, if you have a nonstandard Olympic queen bed, the extra length will work well with your larger bed.

    8 x 10 Feet

    If your bedroom is slightly larger than the average, consider purchasing a bigger rug that measures 8 x10 feet, like this turquoise Luxe Ombre rug from nuLOOM. While you won’t get the entire bed and nightstands on the rug, you do have two placement options with this larger rug.

    First, try laying the rug under the nightstands and head of the bed. This keeps the rug up at the head of the bed and works best if there isn’t a lot of space at the foot of the bed. The other option is to shift the rug down.

    Start the rug a quarter of the way or halfway down the length of the bed. This leaves several feet of rug extending out from the foot of the bed. If you have a California queen, this is a good option because it accounts for the additional bed length. This is also a good placement option if you have a chest or bench at the foot of the bed.

    9 x 12 Feet

    A 9 x 12 foot or larger rug like this 9 x 12 Navy Indoor Geometric Southwestern Area Rug provides the greatest coverage. It will completely cover the entire carpet or bare floor in some bedrooms. It’s actually too large for small bedrooms.

    If you have plenty of floor space, then this size of rug will be large enough to go under the nightstands and queen bed with plenty of space on either side and extending out from the end of the bed.

    Round Rugs

    Everyone automatically thinks of a square or rectangular rug when buying an area rug for their queen bed. However, they aren’t your only options. You could also place a round or oval rug.

    This approach will create a custom rug look. You don’t want to place a round rug centered directly under the bed. Then it will barely peak out of the sides. Instead, the edge of the rug should start at the middle of the bed and extend out of the bottom of the bed.

    This approach works well for a narrow bedroom because the round shape will complement the limited space. The round shape of a rug like this Imaria Southwestern Red Area Rug can give your bedroom a creative or eclectic look.

    Runner

    Runner area rugs are long and skinny, making them perfect for use in a hallway or placed in front of a long kitchen countertop. You can also use them in the bedroom. They are perfect for small spaces or if you have a limited budget.

    If the long side of your bed is against the wall, you can place the runner along the side of your bed. If you have space on both sides of your bed, then you could place one runner on either side of the bed.

    A third option is to place one at the foot of the bed. Never place a runner under the bed as they are not wide enough to ground the bed.

    Animal Skins


    An animal fur can make a plush and luxurious addition to your queen bed. Whether you decide to buy real or faux, furs come in a unique shape that is hard to measure. A single sheep’s skin rug or faux sheep’s skin rug like this BAYKA Small Faux Fur Rug works well as a small rug placed next to the bed.

    Position it in front of the bedside table so that it’s the last thing your toes touch when getting in bed at night and first thing in the morning when getting out of bed.

  • 9 Grey Bedroom Decor Ideas and Designs

    9 Grey Bedroom Decor Ideas and Designs

    “Life isn’t black or white, it’s all sorts of shades of grey.” – Nicky Morgan

    Grey bedroom ideas are popular because this neutral color has a broad appeal. It gives the master bedroom a sophisticated and fresh feel without being as harsh as a white or black bedroom. There is a range of shades from an almost black charcoal grey to a barely-there pale grey. You can also easily pair it with other colors for a multi-dimensional color scheme. 

    Check out these fresh grey bedroom ideas and give your bedroom a much-needed update.

    [view_toc]

    1. Enhance Depth with Grey Decor

    Grey bedroom decor can be a bit much in your already grey bedroom design. The decor won’t stand out against the grey bedroom wall. You have two options. The first is to use varying shades of grey. This gives you an all-grey look while also creating depth and contrast.

    Your other option is to choose another color that pairs well with grey. Blue, pink, green, yellow, black, and white all look beautiful with the modern neutral color.  Think about the mood you want to create in your bedroom and colors that appeal to you. For example, blue and green can add a calming effect, while yellow can feel cheery, and pink could give it a romantic touch.

    2. Select Grey Bedding and Furnishings

    Choosing a grey color for your bedding and furnishings is a smart choice. There are plenty of options in various shades, making it easy to find the perfect pieces for your bedroom. Both hard and soft furnishings come in grey. You could have a light grey wood dresser and bookshelf. Or a matching grey small desk and chair.

    A comfy armchair in grey gives you the perfect place to get dressed in the morning or relax before bed with a book at night. Hang dark charcoal grey drapes on the window to block the light for better sleep and balance the amount of light grey already in the room. Match this darker shade to the comforter on the bed and the rug on the floor. Now you’ve tied the room together with color.

    3. Guest Bedroom Elegance in Grey

    Adding a light grey bed to the guest bedroom is a nice way of creating a neutral and inviting space for your guests. The grey tone is soft and neutral. You can then go bold with your decor that’s hung on the grey wall. It could have a bohemian feel with pieces of art that you’ve collected from your travels. This is an easy way to add punches of color and bring life to the room without the color feeling overwhelming.

    Instead of hanging decor on the walls, turn the wall into the decor. Add large-scale decals in the form of flowers. There are high-quality decals that look like realistic paintings on your walls. You could hang seasonal decor in the room to help your guests get in the mood for the season. Change out the decor each quarter to have a rotating theme.

    4. Transform with a Grey Headboard

    You don’t have to commit to an all-grey bedroom to have the shade in your bedroom. Sure, you could do the obvious of having a grey accent wall or grey floor. But you can do something that’s much faster and more affordable. Change the linens and comforter on your bed for grey bedding or headboard.

    If you already have an upholstered headboard, then you can buy grey fabric and cover it. Choose a fabric that matches the rest of your bedroom’s decor. Linen or burlap looks good in a rustic or farmhouse-inspired bedroom. Cotton or linen look right at home in a coastal bedroom. This is your chance to add texture, so look for a material with an obvious weave or texture to it.

    5. Create a Luxurious Grey Bedroom

    All too often, grey is associated with simple and farmhouse decor. However, it can also be sleek, sophisticated, and luxurious. Pair your grey with a blush pink or dusty pink to add a softness to your bedroom. Add these colors with the use of elevated materials. Instead of just a pink armchair, choose one that’s upholstered in luxurious velvet or silk. Elevate the look of your dresser by placing a thin slab of pink quartz or marble on top of it.

    Instead of just adding the color grey, look at some silver bedroom ideas. It has the same effect as grey but looks more luxurious. Change your lighting fixtures to have a polished silver or brushed nickel finish. These both have the look of grey while also looking elegant.

    6. Modernize with Dark Grey Shades

    Use a darker shade of grey for your modern bedroom color scheme. Charcoal grey is a good option for this. Pair your grey with light-colored wood, white, and accents of silver or nickel fixtures. This creates a balance of light and dark and gives your bedroom a modern feel.

    Dark grey is good for creating voids. Try painting your walls dark gray to help them visually sink back, making the room feel larger. For a bold design, continue the dark grey up and paint the ceiling too. This blends the walls and ceiling together and makes the room feel taller. Another option is to keep the wall and ceiling a light color and dark grey on the floor. This brings the weight and heaviness of the room down, helping the upper area of the room to feel larger.

    7. Go Neutral with Light Grey

    Grey is popular because it is considered a modern neutral color. While it comes in different shades, pale grey is the most versatile color for your wall color. It feels fresh and light while helping the space to feel open and welcoming. Start creating your light grey bedroom by painting the walls. Then add an area rug. Make sure it’s sized correctly for your bedroom.

    Add plenty of textures to your neutral bedroom to keep it from feeling one-dimensional and flat. Do this by adding a woven or sculpted rug to the floor. Add linen or raw silk curtains to the windows. Finally, lay a woven or faux fur blanket on your bed.

    8. Small Bedroom Solutions in Grey

    It can be tempting to have white walls in a small bedroom to help the space feel brighter and bigger. But this isn’t your only option. Light grey bedroom designs will have the same effect but be softer. White can look harsh and stark, making it uncomfortable to be in. The light grey removes this edge and makes the space feel more welcoming.

    Another option is to create a feature wall with grey. Leave all of the walls white and choose a darker shade of grey for the wall behind your headboard. Instead of simply painting the wall, look for wallpaper with an appealing design where the main color is grey. Or choose a textured wallpaper that looks like natural stone for an earthy feel.

    9. Grey for a Teen’s Bedroom Makeover

    Your teenager may want a more grown-up-looking room that is still fun. Using grey as the base color is a nice neutral for adding other colors. Choose a warm grey that looks more like a greige. You can then pair it with lighter shades and bright colors. This could be purple, green, blue, or red.

    7. Organize with a Desk-Shelf Combo

    8. Go Minimal with a Floor Bed

    Decorating a dorm room can be a great way to express your creative side! One of the most unique decor choices is to have a floor-level bed, which creates an interesting dynamic compared to the classic bed frame style.

    An eye-catching area rug will also help bring the whole look together while providing a comfortable place to lounge and study. Investing in storage bins and shelving units is another easy way to keep your room clutter-free, plus you can make it part of your design by matching the color to your other room decor!

    9. Enhance Space with Floating Shelves

    When you’re limited on space in the dorm room, there are plenty of creative ways to make the most of it. One great idea is floating shelves – which can be used to store books or hang up decorative items.

    Overhead shelves are also a great way to maximize vertical space for extra storage, freeing up room below for other furniture. With these tips in mind and some crafting supplies, your dorm room can become a surprisingly comfortable and stylish living space.

    10. Reflect Style with Decorative Mirrors

    When it comes to dorm room ideas, a decorative mirror is a great way to create an open atmosphere. Not only can you check your reflection before heading off to class but its reflective surface also helps multiply the existing light, which will make your room look much larger than it actually is.

    Place the mirror opposite of a window and watch as the natural light brings out its intricate details. Finish off the look by placing a few pieces of furniture around the area or pairing it with some art for an added decoration that upgrades the entire space.

    11. Divide Smartly with a Cabinet

    Dorm room ideas can be the beginning of a style revolution! Consider buying a divider cabinet to give each person their own designated space without any walls. That way, you can still have separate spaces for two beds and storage but have the feeling of an open and shared living area.

    You might even get creative with it and add some personal touches like fabric curtains or artwork to create a visual separation between the two sections. With these dorm room ideas, you’ll be able to make the most of your limited space and still feel right at home!

    12. Upgrade to a Loft Bed

    Moving into a college dorm room and designing it to be your haven can be both daunting and exciting. A great way to maximize the potential of a small room is to invest in a loft bed.

    This adds extra space, allowing you to create an office space underneath. Add some cozy lighting, artwork, a comfortable rug, and drapes for privacy and the transformation from an impersonal room to your creative escape will be complete!

    13. Warm Up with a Stylish Area Rug

    Choose one that provides the perfect pop of color or a trendy pattern to instantly add personality and texture, while creating a cozy atmosphere for studying, lounging, and hosting friends. Look for rugs made from soft materials such as cotton, wool, or even faux fur which are sure to add warmth and charm while bringing the room together in one harmonious look.
