Do you ever notice you’re more drawn to rooms decorated with plants? Fresh florals have always made fabulous decor accents, but they’re also known for improving your home’s air quality, as well as being mood boosters. By adding plant life to your bedroom, you’ll find it becomes a more livable place that you’ll both want to spend more time in, too.

Artwork, mirrors, shelving – all of these are easy ways to dress up the walls in your room. Beautiful artwork can be found in any art shop, or try something more creative and frame your favourite photos or pictures from books or magazines. Simple or elaborate, a framed mirror is not only an attractive touch but will help to make your bedroom look bigger. Wall shelves are easy to install and make the perfect home for accessories (framed photos, candles, books) that speak to your personality.

A calming and neutral colour palette is what makes this exotic theme work. While there are multiple colours at play here, they are all muted in tone and blend together to create one cohesive scheme. The cream cowhides and rustic linen bedding bring natural elements into the mix, lending the room warmth and preventing it from feeling one-note.

Bedrooms are the perfect setting for many things: While most experts recommend that you use them as sleeping chambers only, they have quickly become a venue for socializing (as anyone who has ever checked their Instagram feed in bed can tell you), a quiet place to get some work done (hence the proliferation of desks in a once-forbidden zone), or a sanctuary in which to escape the bustle of the outside world (preferably in a comfy armchair, good book in hand).
