Thinking about giving your bedroom a makeover? Before you dive into mood boards and paint samples, it’s worth taking a step back to plan it properly. Whether you’re craving a cosy retreat, a modern refresh, or simply want to elevate your space, these bedroom makeover tips will help guide your vision.
At Design by Artisan, we believe that every beautiful space starts with intention. Here are our expert tips for making over your bedroom the right way.
1. Define the Purpose of the Space
Is your bedroom just for sleeping, or does it also need to function as a reading nook, work-from-home zone, or relaxation retreat? Defining the purpose early on ensures your bedroom makeover delivers the comfort and usability you need.
2. Choose the Mood You Want to Create
What feeling do you want your bedroom to evoke – calm, moody, bright, minimal? Your answer will guide your colour palette, textures, and overall style. For a restful vibe, think soft tones and natural materials. Want something bold? Go for deeper hues and statement pieces.
3. Assess What You Already Have
Before replacing everything, look at what you can keep or repurpose. Can a bedside table be updated with new hardware? Could your headboard be reupholstered? A smart bedroom makeover doesn’t have to mean starting from scratch.
4. Focus on Comfort and Functionality
Style is important, but comfort should come first. Invest in quality bedding, layer your lighting, and make sure your layout supports good flow and functionality. A truly successful bedroom makeover feels just as good as it looks.
5. Plan Before You Buy
Rather than buying pieces one by one, map out your overall design first. From furniture choices to textiles and artwork, having a plan keeps your bedroom makeover cohesive and intentional. Working with a designer can help bring clarity to your ideas.
6. Add Finishing Touches That Reflect You
The best bedroom makeovers finish with personality. Think textured throws, meaningful art, or your favourite scent. These little touches create a sense of calm and connection that makes your space truly yours.
