A sanctuary of rest and well-being, the bedroom is now one of the most important rooms in the home, particularly when it comes to d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n

While decorating trends<\/a> keep evolving, some ideas remain classic and timeless. The bedroom is no exception: photos in all kinds of styles abound on the web.<\/p>\n

But in this wide range of artistic expressions and atmospheres, you are bound to find ideas for decorating your<\/em> bedroom that you can make your own.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s look at 9 tips for decorating your bedroom.<\/p>\n

1. Keep your bedroom simple<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Decluttering the space helps declutter the mind<\/strong>. Simple d\u00e9cor in your bedroom will highlight comfort and elegance with small touches.<\/p>\n

To make it easier to move around, it is a good idea to leave at least one metre between the bed and the side walls or large furniture, and at least one metre between the bed and low furniture such as tables and dressers.<\/p>\n

If you have to walk around the bed to get from the closet to the bathroom, think about how you could move the bed.<\/p>\n

Furnish your bedroom with the essentials<\/strong>. A bed, one or two nightstands, a dresser and a good rug are indispensable. Rugs have become one of the must-haves of interior design in recent years, and there are many reasons to buy a rug<\/a>. If you have the space, learn how to dress the room by choosing the right rug size<\/a> and adding a dresser, for example.<\/p>\n

The idea is not to give in to clutter. By trying too hard, you could end up with heavy d\u00e9cor that weighs on the mind more than anything else. After all, a bedroom is first and foremost for resting<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

2. Choose your rug carefully<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

As an expert carpet store in Montr\u00e9al<\/a>, you didn\u2019t really think we would leave rugs off our list, did you?<\/p>\n

A rug will automatically add much more warmth<\/strong> to your bedroom. Not only does it protect your feet from the cold when you get out of bed in the morning, a winter rug in the home<\/a> also reinforces a cozy atmosphere<\/strong> and defines the focal point of the room. If comfort is your top priority, you can also opt for wall-to-wall carpeting<\/a> in your bedroom, so you never have to worry about the morning chill when you get up.<\/p>\n

That is also why it is often recommended to place your rug under the bed, so that it extends beyond the sides and acts as a bedside rug.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, two rugs, one on each side of the bed, will highlight it and add to the comfort of your bedroom. Positioning a rug in a bedroom<\/a> is an art in itself, so think it through carefully. Feel free to discover all our advice in our dedicated article on how to choose a rug<\/a>. You will learn all the best practices for making the right choice!<\/p>\n

3. Make the most of the headboard<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

The headboard is also a major element of bedroom d\u00e9cor. If your bed already has one, you won\u2019t have much choice when it comes to customizing it.<\/p>\n

Still, don\u2019t hesitate to repaint<\/strong> your headboard if it is made of wood, or to decorate it with small pots and bouquets of dried flowers, or even string lights.<\/p>\n

And why not make it yourself<\/a>? If that sounds like too much work, hanging frames, canvases or a large macram\u00e9 on the wall will do the job just as well.<\/p>\n

4. Surround yourself with green plants<\/h2>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

When it comes to bedroom d\u00e9cor, green plants are a lovely solution.<\/p>\n

Depending on the size of your bedroom, you won\u2019t need many, unless you want to build the atmosphere around your plants.<\/p>\n

Their benefits? Green plants contribute to our good health<\/strong>: some act directly on stress, and all of them improve the humidity of air that our household appliances can dry out. They also absorb CO2 and help purify the air. What\u2019s more, their beautiful colour is said to be synonymous with rest<\/strong>\u2026 Perfect for a bedroom!<\/p>\n

Which plants are suited to a bedroom<\/a>? Aloe vera, gardenia, spider plant, jasmine and ivy, to name just a few! Don\u2019t forget to air out your bedroom every day<\/strong> to refresh the air and help them thrive.<\/p>\n

5. Take care of the walls<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

In a bedroom, the walls are your number one playground. Be bold with wallpaper, be bold with mouldings. More and more people are making their own mouldings by gluing on strips of wood and painting them.<\/p>\n

As for colours, instead of bold primary colours, choose soothing shades and a restful palette of monochromatic tones.<\/p>\n

Remember colour theory: soft shades of blue, lavender or green are considered calm and serene<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Rich shades help create an atmosphere of comfort and intimacy<\/strong>. These can be warm browns, deep pomegranates or topazes.<\/p>\n

Use toned-down versions of your favourite colours in the bedroom. This might mean choosing mauve instead of eggplant, or pumpkin instead of tangerine.<\/p>\n

A tip: still use these colours in small touches or as accents<\/strong>, and let your walls catch the light with mostly light tones<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

6. Don\u2019t overlook the bedroom ceiling<\/h2>\n

\"This<\/p>\n

The ceiling is like the fifth wall of a room. When you lie in bed, do you see a bland white surface? Then add a subtle pattern or a soft colour.<\/p>\n

Paint the ceiling a slightly lighter shade of the wall colour. This will visually lower the ceiling and give the space a feeling of comfort and intimacy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For a more luxurious touch, a silver-leaf ceiling, a canopy or a tent bed with a ceiling-hung drape can bring a renewed sense of sensuality and warmth, especially since you can choose the texture, design and colour of the ceiling. You can add beams, a medallion or a crystal chandelier to bring colour<\/strong>, pattern<\/strong> and texture<\/strong> to the ceiling.<\/p>\n

7. Choose a canopy bed<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Speaking of which! A true symbol of charm and refinement, the canopy bed comes in many styles, from baroque to bohemian. A linen sheer will add a touch of tenderness and freshness to your bedroom d\u00e9cor and, above all, will not block the light.<\/p>\n

If, on the other hand, you want a canopy bed to filter the light, blackout curtains will be more useful\u2026 but perhaps less attractive!<\/p>\n

In any case, a canopy bed is a very charming way to enhance a bedroom, especially if the room is full of character, with a brick wall for example.<\/p>\n

8. Make your storage a decorative element<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

You have two options for storage in your bedroom:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To add to the sense of serenity in the bedroom, store things out of sight.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The room will look calmer and more spacious if everything is neatly put away. In that case, pay attention to the quality and look of your dressers, or use mirrors to minimize the space your closet might take up.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Repurpose your storage system by turning it into a decorative element.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      As shown in the photo, an open wardrobe<\/strong> with the colours arranged in order will add a lot of charm to your bedroom. Use a piece of driftwood hung from ropes, or an industrial clothes rack, and the result will be stunning.<\/p>\n

      Whatever you choose, here are a few rules to follow when it comes to bedroom storage:<\/p>\n
