Updating your bedroom, decoration tips for a new feel


Your bedroom should be your place to relax, wind down and prepare for a healthy nights rest. When we find ourselves restless, many of us end up feeling the need to update our bedrooms just for fun! When you find yourself itching for a change of space it’s easy to make small changes in your bedroom to give it a more comforting atmosphere. Try any of the 4 ideas below to help you achieve a comfy space. 

 
1. Try moving your furniture:
A small change in furniture positioning can give your room a new feel! Try to keep the room flowing, position your bed on the furthest wall from the entrance way. Also try to be aware of windows; try not to block them so you can utilize natural light in daytime hours!

2. Lighting can make a big difference:
Nighttime lighting should be soft and subdued. Keep light fixtures near the bed to make your space appear larger and more open. Try different lamps; a simple change of a lampshade can give a bedside lamp a whole new appearance. If you can, match shades to throw pillows and blankets, this ties in the style of the room.

3. Get creative with wall décor:
Change out family photos for different ones, play up seasons; Hang photos according to season. Other ideas include using older photos, like parents baby pictures, or grandmothers wedding shots to give a more family feel. Rearrange photos on one wall, clustering and grouping are popular! Don’t be afraid to mix and match frames and colors to give a modern feel.

4. Update your bedding:
When all else fails, consider a new mattress. The difference in a good nights sleep and a great nights sleep is what you’re sleeping on. Whether it’s a pillow top or memory foam, a new mattress can give you that level of comfort you’re seeking.  Head to Hudson’s to find the best mattress fit for you and maximize your sleep comfort.
