Windows to the walls

Coat your walls in neutral and muted paint – we’re talking about shades that delicately delight the senses like soft blush pink, muted blue, pastel green, and delicate beige. These hues are like the smooth operators of the paint world, adding a touch of style to your space and acting as an ideal blank canvas for the rest of your décor and furnishings.

Fine furnishings

Lust-worthy bedrooms are figuring out of dreamy furnishings that work well with your chosen colour palette – how to style a bedroom always comes down to the main pieces of furniture you have. Perhaps you already own a plush headboard or elegant armchair. Use that base piece of furniture to inspire the overall vibe for the rest of your room. For those sticking to the neutral colour palette, these tones lend themselves to organic shapes – think sculptural vases and curved furnishings. Ensure your furniture appears slightly warmer in colour compared to your walls to create depth within the space. This will make your room feel larger and lighter. We recommend checking out Koala Living for lust-worthy furniture.

Décor, décor, décor

Now onto the fun part of bedroom colour ideas – the décor! This is your chance to add pops of colour and a personal touch to the space. Explore hues that contrast with your prominent furniture pieces and give them a try. For instance, if you have a deep blue headboard, go for vibrant white bed linens to create a striking contrast. Essential décor elements for a bedroom include a cosy throw blanket to drape across your bed, stylish throw cushions, a rug to add an extra layer of comfort, and artwork, of course! If your décor items feature patterns, ensure they incorporate neutral tones to maintain consistency with the rest of the room. Remember, decorative items can be unexpected but should still tie into the neutral colour palette. Head to Provincial Home Living and Adairs for stunning décor pieces you’ll love.

There you have it, by embracing a neutral colour palette in your bedroom you can create a space that exudes interior style. From the walls to the carefully selected décor, every element plays a role in transforming your space into one you’ll love.

4 Steps to a Pinterest-worthy Bedroom

Interior-designed spaces, there’s a reason we love them! There’s no denying that interior stylists have an uncanny ability to make any space look luxe, inviting, and comfortable (especially when it comes to bedding and bed styling). They certainly know all the tricks of the trade from the latest trend interiors right down to choosing the perfect pillow. But have you ever tried to recreate a perfectly styled bed in your bedroom without the help of a stylist? The outcome is never quite the same. So, here at Homemaker Nunawading HQ, we set out on a mission to uncover the best ways to achieve that effortlessly styled, yet totally Pinterest-worthy bed. The best part? All you have to do is follow the four steps below and your room will look like it’s straight out of a magazine or in your Pinterest board in no time.

Step one: what lies beneath matters

A luxurious bedroom starts with a comfortable mattress. We’re talking about the type that with just one glance you’re already subconsciously sinking into. But if you’re not quite ready to replace your mattress then opt for a mattress topper instead. Mattress toppers are a great (and affordable) solution to add the comfort you need for a good night’s sleep whilst also helping contribute to the overall plush look synonymous with a Pinterest-worthy bedroom.

Secondly, mattress and pillow protectors are a must all year round, particularly as our weather warms up. We recommend opting for a bamboo material because it’s naturally antimicrobial, breathable, and thermal regulating. You can find a variety of options from Bed Bath N’ Table.

Step two: invest in quality sheets

Quality sheets are the hug you didn’t know you needed! Sheets not only feel great but when you purchase the right set, they’re bound to last throughout the seasons. We recommend steering clear from plain white sheets and going for a fun colour and pattern instead. Pair your bold sheets with a plain coverlet for a playful contrast that will suit any room. For those who are not a fan of ironing, we hear you! Try linen sheets from Adairs to achieve that unmade bed look that interior stylists always master.

Step three: choose the right bed cover

It’s time to roll away the heavy feather duvet and embrace a lightweight coverlet. This lighter counterpart to a duvet is cooler in the warmer weather but is still heavy enough for those who love being snuggled under a blanket. For neutral lovers, embrace a textured coverlet or quilt cover, this will add a subtle touch of luxury to your bedding.
If you really want to lean into that luxury look, buy a size up in your coverlet or quilt – allowing the edge of your bedding to touch the floor.

Step four: layers and textures are a must

Finally, the ultimate way to achieve that Pinterest-worthy bedroom is with layers and textures! What better way to add more texture to your room than with throws and cushions? They’re always making an appearance on trend interiors lists. So, here’s how you can use them:

Throws

  1. Enhance your bedding by casually draping a lightweight throw at the foot of your bed.
  2. Avoid being too meticulous in its arrangement to achieve a more relaxed and inviting look.
  3. Add visual intrigue to a plain knit throw by opting for one with tassels.
  4. For a laid-back luxurious appearance consider a 100% cotton throw with raw edging

Throw cushions

You either love them or hate them, but cushions are here to stay – having become a staple in trend interiors! To create a luxurious and comfortable look be sure to mix and match cushions in similar tones and various textures. Whether you choose velvets or linens, a mix of both is sure to create a visually pleasing vignette. We recommend cushions with feather fillings to provide a plush and inviting feel.
