Your bedroom is arguably the most important room in your home. It’s the place you can go to relax, unwind and get away from the hustle and bustle of your day-to-day. It’s also likely to be the room you spend the most time in. So, when decorating your bedroom, everyone deserves a little bit of luxury, to make it feel like the sanctuary it is.
Making your bedroom look and feel luxurious can help you feel more relaxed, and can even improve how well you sleep. So, to achieve the perfect bedroom, there are a number of things you can do to make your space feel elegant, cosy and super comfortable.
Colour Scheme
The colours in your bedroom can say a lot about your style, but selecting a colour scheme that you not only like but that also offers a calming effect, is the key to bedroom design success. If you’re looking to choose colours that will give your bedroom a tranquil feel, stick to pale or deep blues, soft greens, greys, or other neutrals.
Sticking to your colour scheme will instantly make your bedroom appear more luxurious and will ensure your bedroom looks well put together.
Walls
The colour of your walls makes such a difference to the look and feel of your bedroom, that it is very important that you think carefully about the colour you paint them. One colour to try and avoid is white. White walls in a bedroom give a stark finish and won’t help create a comfortable bedroom decor.
Choosing dark wall paint will compliment light coloured furnishings and vice versa. Plus, if you’re not planning on redecorating your entire bedroom, a fresh lick of paint can make a real difference.
Lighting
Another extremely important element of bedroom decor is the lighting. It is essential that your bedroom is fully dark when you intend to sleep, which may mean investing in some quality curtains unless you use an eye mask to block out the light.
The lighting fixture on your ceiling plays a big part in your bedroom decor, so finding a stylish lighting piece can really enhance the elegance of your bedroom. To make it super luxurious, use something large or unusual, that still fits in with your design.
In addition to the main lighting arrangement, you should also make sure you have some form of mood lighting. When you spend downtime in your bedroom before going to sleep, it is essential you don’t expose your eyes to harsh lighting that might affect how well you get to sleep.
The Bed
Your bed really is the heart of your bedroom, and having it properly decorated in itself will add instant luxury. At Jasmine Silk, we believe that the most luxurious fabric to sleep on is silk. Silk bedding adds texture and class to your bedroom, and is also incredibly comfortable to sleep on. Read this article to find out just how many benefits there are to sleeping on silk.
A set of matching silk bedding will complement most bedroom styles, with ours available in ivory, grey, duck egg, taupe, pink, black and mocha. You can also bring even more luxury to your bed with additional elements such as cushions and bedspreads. A luxury silk bed with all the trimmings will make your bedroom look extremely inviting, giving the entire room a boost.
Another way to add style and luxury to your bedroom is with a stylish headboard. Your headboard is the centrepiece of the bedroom and can make a great first impression when you first walk into a room. When selecting yours, think about colour and texture, and how they will complement the rest of the room.

Seating
Reasons for using additional seating in your bedroom are a-plenty. Firstly, if your bedroom has any alcoves or small nooks and crannies, filling them with a reading chair or bench accent is a great way to use that space. Also, having somewhere else in your bedroom to sit will stop you from spending too much time in your bed, so you use it only for its intended purpose.
If you choose to add a reading chair, bench or chaise lounge to your bedroom decor, you can make it extra luxurious by draping a silk blanket or throw over it, adding texture, style and comfort.
Curtains & Mirrors
As mentioned earlier, your curtains are important for blocking out the light, ensuring you get a full night’s sleep. But, curtains can also help you create the illusion of a larger room if you’re working with a small space. Placing your curtain pole slightly higher, and using curtains that reach the floor can make your space look bigger.
Another way you can add depth to space while keeping with your luxurious theme is by using mirrors. It’s a well-known and classic way to add depth to a room and make it look bigger, but it really does work. Consider placing mirrors behind lamps in your bedroom, to help disperse the light.
Crown Moulding
A simple way to add richness to your bedroom is to look at getting some crown moulding. Crown moulding is essentially used for capping walls and disguising plain edges, injecting style and indulgence into a room.
You can even install crown moulding yourself if you’re pretty DIY-savvy.
Declutter
Although this isn’t really a design element, having clutter in your bedroom is a sure-fire way to ruin the aesthetic and stop you from enjoying the comfort of your bedroom. So, if you’re giving your bedroom a revamp, you should consider doing a declutter before you do anything else.
This means moving things that are on the surfaces of your bedroom, and either getting rid or putting them away and out of sight. It can be tricky to maintain a decluttered bedroom, but it’ll go a long way to making sure your bedroom makes you feel relaxed.
