Bedroom Interior Goals for 2023
Lose weight. Start a home business. Spend less time on social media. These are all admirable goals, but let’s be honest, they are a bit samey - the kind of goals we set and scrap after only a few months.
So, for 2023, why not start with something you can achieve immediately, like a new look for your bedroom? Or a few bedroom upgrades?
To help you out, you can find all our biggest bedroom interior goals for 2023 below. Feel free to capture them for a few quick wins.
Let’s jump in!
Save space with a divan bed.
Unless your bedroom is mahoosive, every inch of floor space counts! The best beds to save space are divan beds because the frame is the same size as the mattress, so there are no protruding legs or frame sections.
You can buy divan beds with a mattress or without (just the base). If you buy the base only, ensure your mattress will fit the base first.
Style up with a fancy headboard.
If you have a divan or ottoman bed with a replaceable headboard, you can transform the style of your bedroom with a new headboard.
We sell an enormous range of headboards for every taste, including tufted, padded, faux leather, crushed velvet, fabric, and wooden headboards.
Headboards are available in two types: floor-standing (where the headboard sits on the floor) and strutted (where the headboard fixes to the bed base). Match your base fixing type to the headboard, and you are ready.
New colour scheme
If you fancy a colour change for 2023, balancing colours is crucial to avoid confusing your space. Colours should reflect your personality but not at the expense of harmony (all elements in a room fit together).
Stick to the 60-30-10 rule for a tried and tested way to get things right. With this rule, 60% of your bedroom is a primary colour, 30% is a secondary colour, and 10% is an accent colour (you can have up to two accent colours).
Textured and embossed wallpapers
Textured and embossed wallpapers inject a real sense of character into bedrooms, and they are perfect for creating a feature wall behind your bed and hiding defects.
This Galerie Jute wallpaper (John Lewis) is a beautiful neutral tone with a chevron sisal weave texture. We also love this High Trad wallpaper (Go Wallpaper) which is deep-textured with an embossed floral design.
If you have a unique colour scheme, you can also get paintable textured wallpapers suitable for re-painting 2-3 times.
Wall panelling
Another way to dress your walls in 2023 is with wall panelling, adding character and an unbeatable sense of three-dimensionality to bedrooms.
This beautiful wall panelling makeover costs just £50, but you’ll need to budget around £400 if you want a professional joiner. We adore this Jacobean panelling (English Panelling Company) and love this half-panel idea.
Wall panelling creates a 3D contrast with flat walls, cuts, grooves, and raised surfaces catching light in exciting ways.
Declutter with clever storage
Decluttering your bedroom is the best way to start the new year, and it’s easy when you have clever storage solutions. Here are a few ideas:
- Tiered shelves for all your items
- Basket storage units for walls
- Pegboard hooks (IKEA) for small items
- Hanging shoe pocket organiser (IKEA)
- Divan beds have built-in drawers for bedding
- Ottoman beds have a lift-up base for even more storage
Embrace smart lighting
Smart lighting isn’t a fad! Smart bulbs like Philips Vue can be set up with timers, schedules, and modes to create different light schemes.
However, the real beauty of smart lighting is that you can get smart plug sockets that connect to your home Wi-Fi for voice control to activate light modes and individual lights via your smartphone or smart hub (e.g., Alexa).
Whatever goals you have for your bedroom in 2023, good luck!
