3 Spring Style Refreshes for Your Bedroom
As of last week, Spring is officially here (despite the fact that some of us east-coasters are still feeling the chill)! Even so, with the new season upon us Spring is the perfect time to breathe new life into your living space, and what better place to start than the sanctuary of your home – the bedroom. Here are three simple yet effective ways to refresh your bedroom style, giving it a vibrant and invigorating atmosphere.
Idea #1: Swap Out Bedding
The quickest way to transform the look and feel of your bedroom is by updating your bedding.
It’s time to pack away your flannel sheets and any extra layers you piled on for the winter months. Opt instead for crisp white sheets to create a fresh and airy ambiance, which will instantly invoke the essence of spring.
Consider swapping out heavy winter duvets for lighter, breathable options like linen or a soothing cotton sateen. Vogue recently asked their editors to share bedding that they swear by. They recommend one of our favorites, the Brooklinen down comforter, as well as Parachute’s linen duvet cover, which makes for a fresh spring update.
While most of us love the arrival of spring after the dreary winter months, for many it is also the dawn of allergy season. Spring is the perfect time to invest in new hypoallergenic bedding, especially pillows.
Idea #2: Bring the Outside In
Embrace the beauty of spring by incorporating elements from nature into your bedroom. You can do this with materials, objects, and colors that reference the outside world, or with things that are actually from nature.
Consider adding potted plants or fresh flowers to bring a burst of life and a touch of tranquility into your space. Lavender is an excellent seasonal choice as its soothing scent can even aid your sleep. Good Housekeeping curated a list of the “20 Best Bedroom Plants for Cleaner Air and Better Sleep” and lavender was also among their recommendations along with aloe, bamboo, and lady palms.
Natural materials like rattan or wooden furniture can evoke a sense of the outdoors, creating a harmonious blend between your interior space and the rejuvenating energy of spring. This simple addition not only enhances your bedroom style but also contributes to a more relaxed and peaceful environment.
If you’re looking for a more permanent refresh, wallpaper is back in a big way, and the options are endless. There are a plethora of beautiful, fresh nature inspired papers that can enhance your space, even if just as an accent wall. To keep with the creation of a serene sanctuary, we recommend this subtle cloud inspired wallpaper from Cole & Sons or this textured tree paper from Burke & Co.
Idea #3: Add Some Color
Injecting color into your bedroom is a powerful way to revitalize the space. Consider painting an accent wall in a soft, nature-inspired hue, such as mint green or sky blue. We are loving muted green hues and are using it not only as wall color, but on wood trim as well. Homes & Gardens magazine lists “earthy green tones” as the best color for a bedroom because it is ideal for creating a “relaxing bedroom sanctuary.”
Alternatively, experiment with vibrant accessories like colorful curtains, rugs, or artwork to infuse energy and personality. Integrate a cohesive color scheme that reflects the vibrancy of spring, creating a visually appealing and harmonious atmosphere in your bedroom.
By following these three bedroom style refreshes – swapping out bedding, bringing the outside in, and adding some color – you can effortlessly transform your space into a spring haven. Embrace the season’s renewal by infusing your bedroom with a sense of freshness, tranquility, and vibrant energy. Your sanctuary will not only look visually appealing but also become a welcoming retreat where you can unwind and embrace the beauty of spring.
