After a long day of work or playing or a nice mix of both; retiring to a cozy bedroom is one of the best parts of the day. To create that inviting space, there are certain essentials we need. We understand that redecorating any room can seem daunting. But it can also be fun! Making the bedroom into a super-comfortable oasis might just be the best idea we’ve had in a long time, and it’s easier than we think. All we need are a few key pieces of furniture and decor. Whether we’re looking to upgrade the mattress or install a reading area, here are five essentials to get us started.

1. Start With the Bed

The bedroom should be our very own sanctuary. After all, it’s where we recharge each day. Our bed should be comfortable and inviting, a place we can’t wait to retire to at the end of the day. But if our mattress is lumpy or our pillows are flat, it might be time for an upgrade.

Upgrade the Mattress

If we often wake up with aches and pains, it’s probably time for a new mattress. A good-quality mattress will last about 10 years, but if we have had ours for longer than that. There are a variety of mattresses from top brands like Stearns and Foster Mattress, Purple Mattress, and Casper Mattress. We also offer a variety of mattress types, including memory foam mattresses, latex mattresses, and innerspring mattresses.

Treat Ourselves to New Pillows

Just like our mattress, pillows should be replaced every few years. Waking up with a headache or neck pain might be a sign to purchase new pillows. Various pillow types fit just about everyone’s comfort and taste, including down pillows and memory foam pillows. There’s also a wide selection of pillow sizes to consider, so we can find the perfect fit for our bed.

Spoil Ourselves with New Bedding

New bedding is a great way to give our bedroom a new look. And it doesn’t have to be expensive! We can find bedding sets at just about any price point. When shopping for new bedding, consider the type of fabric we want. If we tend to get hot at night, look for bedding made from light, breathable fabrics. If we like to keep our bedrooms cool, look for bedding made from warm, cozy fabrics.

New bedding doesn’t need to break the bank. We can find affordable and comfortable bedding at pretty much any department store or major retail outlet, making it easy to find bedding that fits both our style and our budget.

2. Address the Lighting in the Bedroom

The lighting in our bedrooms can have a big impact on the overall feel of the space. If we find ourselves reaching for a book in the middle of the night or waking up early on weekends to get a head start on our day, we might want to consider adding some task lighting to our bedroom. There are various ways to add task lighting to our space, including floor lamps, desk lamps, and wall sconces. If we don’t want to deal with the hassle of wiring, a variety of battery-operated and solar-powered options are available.

In addition to task lighting, we might also want to consider adding some accent lighting to our bedrooms. Accent lighting can help create a warm and inviting ambiance in our space. Candles are a great way to add accent lighting to our bedroom, and various scented and unscented options are available. If we’re looking for a more permanent solution, we might consider installing dimmer switches. Dimmer switches allow us to adjust the amount of light in our space, which can be helpful if we want to create a different mood or atmosphere in our bedrooms.

3. Carve Out a Corner for a Cozy Reading Area

If we love to curl up with a good book, we might want to consider carving out a cozy reading nook in our bedroom. A comfortable chair, a soft throw blanket, and a few well-placed pillows can transform even the smallest of bedrooms into a relaxation oasis. If we don’t have a lot of extra space in our bedrooms, we can still create a cozy reading nook. We can use a small bookshelf or an ottoman with built-in storage to store our books and other reading materials. And if we don’t have room for a chair, we can always use a floor pillow or bean bag chair instead.

4. Replace the Window Treatments

Window treatments can make a big impact in any room, and the bedroom is no exception. If we’re looking for a quick and easy way to give our space a fresh look, consider replacing the window treatments. There are a variety of different window treatment options available, including blinds, shades, and curtains. We can find affordable window treatments at almost any major retailer or home improvement store.

5. Add Some Greenery

Adding a few plants to our bedroom is a great way to freshen up the space and add some life to our décor. Plants can help purify the air and improve the quality of our indoor environment. And they can also help to reduce stress and promote relaxation. If we don’t have a green thumb, don’t worry! There are a variety of low-maintenance plants that are perfect for the bedroom. Snake plants, succulents, and air plants are all great options that are easy to care for.
