Help! .... How do I style my bedroom?

So you’ve seen all those beautiful, calming bedrooms on Pinterest and Instagram, the ones that look effortlessly put together but you’re not quite sure where to start with your own space?

You’re not alone. Designing a bedroom that feels cohesive, stylish, and personal can feel overwhelming at first. The good news? With a few simple principles and a little confidence, you can create a room that feels both intentional and inviting, no interior designer required.

Here are five easy styling tips to help you turn your bedroom into your own calm retreat.

TIP #1

Consider Your Space and Scale

Before you start rearranging or buying new pieces, take a moment to really look at your space, not just the floor area, but the full height and shape of the room.

A well-designed bedroom feels intimate, not cramped. If you have a high ceiling, a larger or taller bed will help visually balance the space. If your room is small, choose furniture that allows for easy movement and doesn’t overwhelm the floor plan.

When placing bedside tables, avoid squeezing in matching pairs if they make the room feel crowded. Instead, try one table on one side and balance the other with a small stool, a plant, or a soft lamp. The goal is flow and comfort, not symmetry for symmetry’s sake.

TIP #2

Be Thoughtful with Colour.

Colour sets the tone for your entire bedroom, so choose with purpose. Start by considering light: rooms with limited natural light will feel brighter and more open with soft, neutral tones on walls and bedding. If your space has plenty of sunlight, you can embrace deeper, moodier hues without closing it in.

Think about the mood you want to create:

• Soft blues, greens, and greys invite calm.

• Warm neutrals feel grounding and organic.

• Deep tones can add drama and sophistication.

  
  

Bold colours like red or orange are energising, but they’re rarely restful, so if you love them, bring them in through accents rather than walls or bedding.

TIP #3

Layer with Texture

Texture is what transforms a bedroom from flat to inviting. Mixing materials adds warmth, depth, and comfort.

Combine different surfaces, flax linen bedding, wool throws, woven rugs, and tactile cushions, to create dimension. Natural fibres like linen and cotton add softness while still feeling fresh and breathable.

Our Linen Bedding range is designed for this, light, textural layers that soften your space and age beautifully over time.

TIP #4  

Play with Pattern (and Have Fun With It!)

Pattern doesn’t have to mean busy. It can be subtle and sophisticated, think tonal stripes, soft florals, or understated geometric prints.

If you’re new to pattern, start small with removable elements like bedding, cushions, or curtains. You can easily swap them out when you’re ready for a new look.

When mixing patterns, keep your palette cohesive. Pair a bold print with a solid or neutral tone to create balance. For example, block-colour duvet covers look beautiful layered with patterned Pillowcases or a plain linen throw.

TIP #5

Find Your Balance

Balance is one of the quiet secrets of good design, it’s what makes a room feel naturally “right.”

Balance doesn’t always mean symmetry. You can create it through colour, shape, and proportion. If you hang artwork on one side of the bed, offset it on the other with a lamp, plant, or a piece of décor that’s a similar visual weight.

As you style, step back and look at your space from the doorway. The goal is to have your eye move easily across the room, nothing too heavy on one side, nothing too bare on the other.

To Wrap Things Up

Styling your bedroom should feel fun and rewarding, it’s a chance to reflect your personality and create a space that feels truly your own.

Start with a calm foundation of quality linen, layer in natural textures, and add thoughtful accents over time. Remember: balance, comfort, and authenticity will always outlast trends. 🌿
