The bedroom is the place in the home where you retreat, recharge, and relax. To make this happen effectively, you need the right furnishings and decor. myHOMEBOOK presents six decor ideas for a stylish bedroom.
Finding peace, relaxing, and simply unwinding: A bedroom should offer exactly that. But it’s not just about having a bed. The entire setup, especially the decor, must fit the bedroom to make it cozy and stylish at the same time. But what exactly is needed? It shouldn’t be too much, as that can make it feel cluttered and chaotic, but not too little either, as the room might then feel cold and uninviting. We’ll reveal the right decor choices in this article.
Overview
Peace and Relaxation in the Bedroom
To furnish a bedroom that is both cozy and stylish, one thing is essential: The room must not be overcrowded and cluttered. Yet, you shouldn’t skip decor entirely. It’s important not to rely on lots of small knick-knacks, but rather on items that ideally have a function, making them useful. Or, if they aren’t functional, they should at least be atmospheric and contribute to relaxation, like suitable prints on the walls.
To truly find peace in the bedroom, other factors are also important. This includes the right choice of colors. Which wall color is particularly suitable and which should be avoided is discussed in this article about bedroom wall colors.

Decor Ideas for a Stylish and Cozy Bedroom
Atmospheric Lighting
There’s nothing like atmospheric lighting. This is true for every room in the house, but especially for the bedroom. Soft light sources create a stylish and cozy atmosphere. The advantage of lights in the bedroom: They are functional but also decorative.
Small table lamps for the nightstand are particularly nice. If you don’t want to clutter your nightstand, you can opt for wall-mounted lamps. Candles also provide pleasant lighting—if you don’t want to light them for safety reasons, you don’t have to miss out. Nowadays, there is a wide selection of candles that, due to their shape, can easily pass as decorative objects.
Proper Textiles on the Bed
Of course, every bed needs a blanket and pillows, which in turn require bed linens. Technically, textiles don’t count as decor in the bedroom. However, the covers can be used decoratively, especially if you choose a special color or pattern. This makes the bed a focal point! Alternatively, bedspreads can be used. They create order and can be selected to match the color scheme.
Stools, Poufs, and More
A small stool, bench, or pouf is ideal for the bedroom, preferably with storage space. While stools and the like are more furniture than decor, they also play a decorative role in the bedroom because they are not just functional. However, you must pay special attention to the appearance and not just choose the first pouf you find, but ideally one in the right color.
A Rug for Your Feet
A rug is a must-have in a bedroom. There’s nothing worse than stepping onto a cold floor with bare feet in the morning—better to bury your toes in a warm and fluffy rug. Runners or small faux furs are especially nice next to the bed. A rug not only makes the room cozier but also allows you to subtly introduce color without having to paint the entire wall.
(Textile) Wall Decor
What works on the floor is also a highlight on the wall: This year, wall tapestries or textile wall decor are back in style. Large macrame pieces or smaller wall tapestries with abstract patterns are particularly beautiful. The texture adds another dimension to the room and creates a real eye-catcher. Those who prefer a classic look can choose suitable prints for the wall. To avoid creating unrest, select images that fit the bedroom and aren’t too bright.
Protective Curtains
Curtains are crucial for coziness in the bedroom! They give the room a warm atmosphere. They not only protect from prying eyes but can also tie in the room’s color scheme or even add great color accents. For more depth, it’s best to choose two curtains: one for darkening and one for light-filtering fabric in a soft color like cream, yellow, or light blue.
