Three Ways to Create a Cosy Bedroom

For many people, their bedroom is a peaceful sanctuary, a place to relax and unwind, get a goods night sleep or enjoy a lazy morning at weekends. There’s nothing better than a cosy bedroom, even during the summer, but it’s when the colder months hit that a warm and comfortable bedroom really comes into its own.

Creating a cosy atmosphere is about more than adding a thicker duvet or blankets, so if you want some style ideas to make the most of your bedroom when the temperatures drop, see three of our favourite ways to create a cosy bedroom below.

Mix up the textures

Soft plush fabrics are one of the quickest and easiest ways to add cosiness, so add extra cushions, rugs or throws to your bedroom in a range of different materials. Think luxurious textures like fake fur, velvet, wool or sheepskin. Velvet curtains are particularly effective, and the heaviness of the material will help keep the heat in too.

Soft colours

Soft neutral colours tend to feel much cosier than bold bright shades, so choose a soft colour palette of beige, cream, light grey, dusky pink or warm sand. Warm up the room further and add a touch of glamour with gold or warm bronze accents on mirror frames, candlesticks or lamps.

Warm lighting

Lighting is key when creating a cosy atmosphere, and harsh overhead lighting isn’t going to cut it. If your main light doesn’t have a dimmer switch consider adding one, or switch it off and get a glow from strategically placed lamps and candles. Scented candles in comforting fragrances like cinnamon, vanilla or sandalwood also up the cosy factor.
