Purchasing a bed, dresser, and some nightstands will definitely get the ball rolling when it comes to designing a sleep space, but you're not fully done with this room until you incorporate some accent pieces, too.
Interior designers weigh in with different accessories that you'll want to make a point to include in your bedroom so that your space looks stylish and complete. Some of these are items that you'll need to purchase, but others may be sitting in other rooms of your house already and are just begging to be given a new purpose.
Below, we highlight seven decor pieces every bedroom needs.
The practical items that you choose to incorporate in your bedroom can still be pretty.
«There are some small, easy fixes that go a long way; a whimsical but practical nightstand catch-all tray, or a purposeful and pretty basket that doubles as a hamper,» Ellie Mroz, the founder of Ellie Mroz Design, says.
Choose items that reflect your personal style rather than generic-looking plastic bins, and you'll appreciate the difference they make in your space. Who knows, maybe you'll even become better at picking up after yourself.
Mina Lisanin, the founder of ML Interiors, emphasizes that an organized bedroom is the key to maintaining a peaceful environment.
No bedroom is complete without some artwork, and the size, medium, and type of display you go for is entirely your choice.
Lisanin explains how adding artwork to your bedroom walls allows you to instantly inject personality and visual interest into the space. She recommends choosing pieces that resonate with you personally and complement your decor aesthetic.
