I don’t know about you, but my bedroom is my sanctuary. I always want it to be super cozy as well as super trendy like all those stunning bedrooms you see on Pinterest. I am a firm believer in the school of DIY, especially when I don’t have the cash to use the services of an uber fancy stylist. If you’re in the same boat as me, recreating those Pinterest style rooms is possible even without the help of a stylist.

Here are 5 ways to help you get on your way to that Pinterest Style room of your dreams. Let’s go!

1. Create a mood board on Pinterest

If you’re going to decorate your place yourself and still come up with a kick-ass design, then you need to widen your mind. And when you’re trying to get a Pinterest style bedroom, where better to start than at the home base itself: Pinterest!

Try getting fresh ideas from different internet sources. Pinterest is one of the great platforms to get ideas for any DIY project you take up. There are thousands of people sharing their ideas through pictures and videos.

Create a mood board on Pinterest and add all the pictures you like to it. This would help you get a fair idea of what you want your room to look like and what common themes and features you see pop up. So the next time you go shopping, you know what to look out for.

2. Decide on a palette of about 2-3 colours.

If you’re anything like me, you’d be conflicted about what colours you want to use and before long, you start trying to justify a room with pink, yellow, green, and red. Yeah, not really.

Take a leaf from trees of prominent stylists and stick to few colours. Having fewer colours makes designing your room easier and keeps everything cohesive. The general rule of thumb is about 3 colours. Choose three colours for your room, one for your decor, one for furniture and a neutral colour to balance things out.

3. Store all Your Clutter Away Neatly

Clutter is never in trend. But what do you do when you want a trendy space but have stacks of stuff to sort through? Easy. Kill two birds with one stone. Invest in furniture that also doubles up as a storage space.

Beds with drawers and sofas with hidden drawers. This furniture can make your home look good as well as help you de-clutter your space. Easy peasy.

4. Make Sure Everything is Matching

You know when you’re flipping through a catalogue, and you see a picture of a room that you just love? Well, a lot of the time you can replicate that exact look in your space by purchasing an entire package.

Packages are created by furniture retailers’ grouping together products from the same range, or similar styles, and selling them for discounted rates. 

Packages are an awesome way to ensure that all your furniture will match each other, and thanks to the package discount, you’ll usually save some big bucks in the process. 

You could makeover your bedroom in seconds with a little bedroom package like this:

There’s something about a room that has a matching set of bedsheets drapes and rugs. Everything looks great at the end of the day. If you love that trendy and quaint look, go for matching bedroom sets. Browse some here! Handy!

5. Small Details Help Make Your Room Pop

It’s always the small details that do it. Pay attention to little details like throw pillows, pot plants and quilted throw blankets. These small items are usually the ones that push a room from okay to spectacular. While shopping, look out for those trendy throw pillows and brass lamplights.
