Accessorise Your Bedroom With These 5 Must-Have Items

Bedroom design is important, it should help you to decompress and sleep through the night. While bed linen & duvets have a lot to do with how comfortably you rest, it’s the bedroom decor around you that could prevent you from getting the z’s you need. A clutter-filled mess could get your mind racing which is where thoughtfully purchased and arranged accessories come in. Whether you have a small boudoir or a large chamber, carefully picked accessories that range in texture and colour can aid in relaxation. Regardless of your interior style - modern, rustic, or boho, these 5 accessories will help to craft your dream sleep zone.

1. Mirrors

No bedroom is fully functional without a long floor mirror or tri-fold mirror. Not only are they great for getting ready in the morning, but they can also bring so much more to a space. Mirrors can enlarge and brighten those small, dark areas, and on their own, they can simply be used as beautiful decor and placed alongside other objects. Every room should always have this incredibly useful accessory, including guest bedrooms, office spaces, hallways, and anywhere with a blank wall or corner that needs filling. In essence, a mirror regardless of its shape and size can open up a bedroom space without distracting or overwhelming the person trying to get some sleep.

2. Lamps & Lighting

There’s nothing like a warming glow in a room to make you feel cosy and relaxed. A table lamp or floor lamp is the perfect way to bring this feeling into your bedroom and better still, they’re relatively inexpensive. Just remember that when you are choosing your lighting type, the lightbulb you choose to go with it will need to emit a warm, orange light. This might seem like an insignificant point, but it’s far from it. Bright lights have been proven to give us a mood boost and intensify emotions, while yellow light generates moods from happiness to warmth. This is why you might find that a brighter light will work better in areas that demand concentration, like an office while a living room or bedroom benefits more from a warm, orange glow for relaxation.

3. Rugs

This is more of a soft furnishing rather than an accessory but it’s still important enough to mention. Rugs are particularly important for bedrooms that have wooden flooring or some sort of cold flooring type. A rug will warm your feet so you’re not stepping directly onto a cold surface first thing in the morning. And I mean, is there any worse feeling than that? We don’t think so. Try to pick one with a high pile if you’re looking for that cosy feeling for your bare feet. Remember also to choose a colour that compliments your surrounding decor i.e. paint colour on the wall, curtains, cushions etc to tie everything together.

4. Plants

Plants or the illusion of greenery is an absolute must for every room in the house. Preferably, we’d always suggest using real foliage wherever possible because more benefits come with using genuine plants or flowers. However, this involves more care and attention which most (including us) aren’t willing to put in i.e. watering. Still, real plants and flowers can improve your mood and reduce stress levels which is ideal for the bedroom. In contrast, artificial flowers and plants can still add that much-needed colour to your decor and can be easily displayed in a beautiful plant pot or vase that won’t ever get spoiled by the inclusion of water.

5. Candles

Candles are another accessory that will make you feel warm and cosy, not only this but they’ll also emit a glorious smell. While we love a good candle here at EZ Living Furniture, we are also aware of the dangers that come with them, which is why we suggest using an LED alternative instead. These battery-operated candles won’t emit a smell but can still create that warm and comforting feeling that is necessary for the bedroom. LED candles are a much safer option, especially for your boudoir but another reason why you should invest in these is because they will never melt and will last for years to come.

Using these 5 essential accessories you can create the boudoir of your dreams. Don’t be afraid to try to change things up with the seasons to see what works for you.
