Is your bedroom feeling a bit dated or boring? We have your effortless solutions! Steal our design pros best tips to make your space feel fresher than ever.
1. Display Your Treasures
"Raid your cabinets for bowls, dishes, and trays to corral jewellery and trinkets. Everything looks better in a bunch, so group beaded necklaces or a stack of chunky bangles in a bowl on your dresser or side table." —ID 810 Design Group
2. Add a Bloom
"Put a bud vase with a single flower on your nightstand. You’ll have something beautiful to wake up to." —Maureen Stevens Design
3. Create an Inspiration Board
"Staple up a layer of batting starting at the baseboard and all the way up to the moulding to create drama. Cover it with burlap or another coordinating fabric and finish the edges with a velvet ribbon. Pin up kids' doodles, inspirational quotes, or artwork and change it up throughout the year." —Décor Aid
4. Strip Down Your Duvet
"Remove your old duvet cover and expose the white duvet underneath for a quick refresh that won’t cost a dime." —CKM Home Design
5. Build a Reading Nook
"To make the room more welcoming and cozy, bring in an armchair from the living room or an upholstered dining chair to create a reading nook." —Décor Aid

6. Fabricate a Faux Headboard
"The saddest sight in a bedroom is a bed with no presence. If you don’t want to invest in a true headboard, anything with scale will do—oversized framed art, a tapestry or blanket mounted on the wall, or a folding screen. If you don’t have something large scale, a collection of frames, or even a grouping of wicker plates and shallow bowls mounted to the wall will work." —ID 810 Design Group
7. Play Musical Nightstands
"Switch one or both of your nightstands for a side table from the living room. This will give you a more eclectic look." —Décor Aid
8. DIY a Fun Lighting Feature
"Paint the inside or outside of your lampshades using craft store or homemade (printed off the computer) stencils. When you turn on your lights in the evening the stencils will create a unique patterned affect around the room." —Maureen Stevens Design
9. Forage for Decor
"Bring the outdoors in with branches found around the yard arranged in a tall glass vase." —CKM Home Design
10. Rotate the Pillows and Throws
"Swap your accent pillows and throw blanket with ones from another room to update your colour palette in minutes!" —Maureen Stevens Design
