We spend a great deal of our time at home in the bedroom. Even when we aren’t sleeping, we’re breakfasting in bed, blogging, reading or just relaxing. But the bedroom can be one of the last rooms we decorate; the main living areas often take up most of our time and budget. Here are some simple styling tricks to help you give your bedroom a professional, polished and finished look in next to no time at all.

7 Bedroom Styling Tricks That Anyone Can Do | Scottsdale Real Estate
We spend a great deal of our time at home in the bedroom. Even when we aren’t
sleeping, we’re breakfasting in bed, blogging, reading or just relaxing. But the bedroom
can be one of the last rooms we decorate; the main living areas often take up most of our
time and budget. Here are some simple styling tricks to help you give your bedroom a
professional, polished and finished look in next to no time at all.

2. 1.Aim for “effortless.” Bedroom styling should create a lived-in, relaxed vibe. Your bed is a great
place to start. Don’t worry about arranging the pillows and bedding perfectly. But to keep your
bed from looking like a hot mess, keep one element of the bed linens straight and neat. A
casually draped throw on a bed is for example, can be offset by the crisp lines of the quilt
beneath it.
2.No headboard? Add an art wall. Use the wall space above your bed to create a meaningful
gallery wall. Instead of hanging one large artwork, try experimenting with a group of smaller
pieces. Note where your head will rest when you are sitting up to read, and use this imaginary
line as a guide for the bottom edge of your artwork.
3.Create an “end zone.” A spot at the end of your bed, the “end zone,” as I call it, is great for
sitting to get dressed and put your shoes on, for scattering some magazines on or laying out a
tray for coffee or tea. Space permitting, all you have to do is move carefully chosen furniture to
the end of your bed. You could try a chest, a bench seat, two stools, an upholstered ottoman
with hidden storage or a chaise longue. It is reminiscent of the polished look so often seen in
boutique hotel bedrooms.
Tip: Have a purpose in mind for this area and keep it clutter-free.

3. 4. Style the nightstand. A styled nightstand makes your bedroom look
complete. Keep only essential items here, such as a lamp, clock and book, and
decorative details, like a dish, to hold your jewelry or a memento. Keep this
area clean and dust-free, as you don’t want to wake up to a mess or breathe
in allergens while you sleep. Tip: The interior style of your bedroom should
guide you in your choice of bedside items. A coastal-inspired bedroom could
have lush green tropical leaves in a glass bottle on top of a stack of books and
a maritime-inspired clock, for example. “Boho” bedrooms might feature a
small arrangement of brightly colored flowers and a string of beads. Just don’t
be overly obvious in your approach to themes
5. Choose oversized artwork. This easy styling trick is perfect for renters or
decorators short on time. You don’t need to mount oversized art — just lean
the frame against the wall. This has the bonus of adding to the relaxed,
effortless feel we’re going for in this room. I like to work with over sized prints
and frames as they’re a little bit unexpected and draw your attention.

4. 6. Pick a color scheme. I can’t stress enough how important this is. Anyone can choose a color
scheme; the trick is to find the inspiration for it in the right place, and then stick to it. This
bedroom uses a contemporary twist on traditional blue and white style. Varying shades of blue
give the bedroom depth, and a mix of contrasting textures creates interest. Can’t find
inspiration? Look to your existing wall color or standout features to guide you. You could, for
instance, select two or three colors from an artwork and match these to your bedding, bedside
table lamps, throw rugs or pillows. Another feature that could give your bedroom color cues is
the wallpaper. Treat the paper as a work of art in itself, and use the pattern or color as
inspiration and a style direction for the rest of your bedroom.If you love neutrals, remember to
mix textures and vary shades so your bedroom doesn’t feel stark or flat.
7. Work a feature wall. If you rent and you have a wall of color you are stuck with, fear not. Use
the existing color as inspiration for the palette or theme of your bedding. In this striking
bedroom, the soft aqua blues of the nightstand lamp and pillows stand out against the coral
pink wall. Tip: Aim to create harmony and balance. If you have a strong, bold color, research
what colors would work harmoniously with it. Look at a color wheel— using colors that lie next
to each other will have a calming effect, because those combinations are pleasing to the eye.

5. Feature walls can be oh so right when used correctly- like a moody wall -especially in a deep
inky indigo or deep charcoal. The color can help frame the bed area and looks great with wood
accents.
Tip: An inky blue-black wall is a great solution for creating a gender-neutral bedroom or a space
that caters to both men and women. Add interest and contrast through the bedding,
nightstands, lighting, artwork and headboard.
