First up, the bedroom!

  1. A low profile bed is a great way to create that cozy feeling in the bedroom.

  2. Lot’s of layered blankets on the bed and varying textures!

  3. Bring in warm wood tones through dressers, night tables or wall accents

  4. Plants! A lot of people skip plants in the bedroom but for us, they are a must! Opt for air purifying options like the Lady Palm, Crispy Wave, Boston Fern or Spider Plant. These are all pet-friendly options as well, so no need to worry about your furry little friends!

  5. Add a textured rug! A lot of people skip a rug in the bedroom but it is a great addition to the space. It adds comfort and warmth, while muffling sound and grounding the room.

  6. Add soft lighting and different task lighting options.

  7. Candles! Scent is so important in creating a calm, comfortable living environment. Opt for something soothing and not too overpowering.
