A bedroom refresh is necessary for everyone at some point in our lives. Maybe your style changes, you've moved to a new space, or you're just ready for something new. Hunting for inspiration can be overwhelming, with hundreds of photos on Instagram, Pinterest, and Google filling your screen all at once. If you're not sure where to start, don't worry.
We've rounded up some decorating ideas for women's bedrooms, no matter what age you are. Whether you're into boho textures or sleek, modern lines, you're guaranteed to find some inspiration for your bedroom makeover here. Read on for 10 bedroom decorating ideas for women at any age.
01 Use All the Throw Pillows
Perhaps one of the most cost-effective ways to decorate your bedroom is to add some throw pillows. They can add color and texture to your space, and they're easy enough to replace the covers should you want to swap out colors for the season. We love how the blues in these pillows tie in with the white accents in the room, yet they remain neutral enough to not make too bold of a statement.
02 Play With Punchy Patterns
There's something about a geometric pattern that really makes a statement. Mixing patterns is easy when you stick to a matching color palette. Even with two patterns and bright flowers on the nightstand, this room looks pulled together because of the otherwise muted colors. You could even create a statement wall with removable wallpaper.
03 Make Your Space Multifunctional
Apartment dwellers know that making the most of your space is key to creating a space that works for you. If you don't have the space for an office in your living room (or share your living space), adding a work nook in your bedroom could be best.
Pop a desk in at the foot of your bed, add a minimal chair, and you've got a cozy workspace—just remember to make your bed if it's going to be in the background of your Zoom calls.
04 Keep Things Modern and Minimal
Sometimes, less is more. Clean lines and modern décor (like matching sconces) give off major Scandi vibes, making your bedroom a relaxing and clean-feeling place.
05 Don't Be Afraid to Mix Prints
Maximalism doesn't have to look (or feel) cluttered and messy. Sticking to patterns in neutral colors will keep things from looking too busy while still allowing each accent to stand out.
We're also huge fans of going all out and painting your bedroom walls a true black, like Backdrop's Dark Arts. If you're not sure what color you want to paint your room yet, Backdrop sells peel and stick samples that you can put on your wall, live with for a bit, and decide what color you want to go with.
06 Incorporate Curtains for Drama
Curtains don't just have to be for windows. Use them to divide up your space and create privacy if your room is a large open space. They're also a great way to add a dose of color in an otherwise blank room. Heavy, velvet curtains will add drama to your space, while lighter, linen curtains will diffuse light and add an airy feel.
07 Create a Book Nook
Reading before bed is the ultimate relaxing activity. Keep your books within arm's reach by building a little reading nook next to your bed. The best part? It can also double as a bedside table for your phone and lamp.
08 Go Full Glam
Live your wildest dreams in a bougie, mirror-filled room. Metallic accents and silky textures will never go out of style!
09 Incorporate Rustic Pieces
A room refresh doesn't mean you have to get all new furniture and accessories. In fact, you probably shouldn't. Rustic and antique pieces give character to a space, and sometimes they're cheaper than buying new.
10 Embrace the Imperfect
An imperfect, messy room means it's being lived in. Take joy in things like messy sheets, disorganized items, and the ability to straighten it all up again. After all, you can make your room anything you want it to be — and that includes having an unmade bed.
