Want your bedroom to look more expensive without completely redoing it? 👀 Here are 5 Merry’s tips that instantly make a bedroom feel more high-end.
1. DITCH THE MATCHING NIGHTSTANDS.
The days of matchy-matchy bedroom sets are long gone! Instead, try coordinating nightstands or even an oversized bachelor’s chest. Mixing things up creates a much more curated look and adds visual interest to your space.
2. LAYER YOUR BEDDING — AND MAKE IT PLUSH!
A flat bed is a boring bed. 😉 Think volume, texture, and layers! Start with a thick, fluffy comforter or duvet, then add euro shams, decorative pillows, a bed scarf, or a beautiful throw blanket. The goal? That “I want to crawl into that bed” feeling.
3. PROPERLY SCALE YOUR LAMPS.
One of the biggest mistakes we see- Lamps that are too small. Your lamp needs to have enough height and presence to balance the scale of your nightstand and your bed. When in doubt, go bigger! When you’re sitting in bed, the bottom of the lampshade should ideally be around shoulder height or slightly above. This keeps the light comfortable and prevents the bulb from shining directly into your eyes.
4. ADD A PLACE TO SIT.
Every beautiful bedroom benefits from a little seating.
Try a bench at the foot of the bed, or add a comfortable chair to an empty corner. It makes the room feel more finished — and gives you somewhere to sit while you put on your shoes!
5. FINISH WITH ART + A QUALITY RUG.
This is where the magic really happens. The right piece of artwork can bring all of the colors and elements of your room together, while a beautiful rug adds warmth, texture, and that cozy factor. Those finishing touches are what can truly make a bedroom feel collected, layered, and luxurious.
