36 bedroom ideas to refresh tired interiors
From easy bedroom updates to redecoration ideas
Bored of the same old bland bedroom, and want some new ideas for your space to make it feel fresh again? As we all spend more time at home, it's only natural to want to make it our sanctuary - but you don't always have to completely redecorate to change the vibe of your home.
Seeing as the majority of us are in shared or rented accommodation (or both), it's totally understandable if you also don't want to commit to kitting out the whole house. Instead, focus in on one of the most important rooms of your house; the bedroom. With some new ideas for your bedroom, you can spruce things up easily. From the cosy buys you can pick up for less than £10 from your local supermarket to long-term solutions for a tidier bedroom, we've got all the ideas you could possibly need.
These days, the likelihood of your bedroom having to act as a multi-purpose space is probably quite high. It's somewhere to sleep, somewhere to work, somewhere to look after all your things... It has to have decent storage, an inviting sleeping situation and touches that make it feel like your own. You also want it to be a place you can fully relax, which means soft furnishings and serene colours. Here are 33 bedroom ideas to help you achieve just that.

Bedroom ideas: Add a rug
Add a rug part way under your bed and part way over the rest of your floor, to add another layer of interest. This works even if you have carpets, as it helps to break up the space (plus it's extra cosy under your feet in the morning.)
Bedroom ideas: use fairy lights
Fairy lights are a great way to bring ambience to your bedroom, whether strung close to the ceiling or around your whole room.
Bedroom ideas: add a bench
Whether it's for additional storage, a place to chuck your clothes or, y'know, just for aesthetics, an end of bed bench is the perfect way to upgrade your space.
