The Total Bedroom Makeover Guide: Upgrade Your Bedroom From Top to Bottom

Lighting

We’ll start at the top of your room with your lighting. What type of light fixture is installed? Is the light dimmable? Are your lightbulbs soft or bright? Do you like the color of the lighting or would you like a change? Follow your instinct and consider these tips:

When thoughtfully planned in layers, lighting can truly transform a room. Here are the types of light you may be utilizing in your bedroom:

  • Task lighting assists you directly with specific focused tasks that you may perform in your bedroom like reading, writing, etc.
  • Use Accent lights to showcase special items in your room.
  • Your general light or ambient light should light up your entire room, as sunlight would.

Next question: do you have a ceiling fan? If you don’t have a fan, that’s an upgrade that we recommend when living in the Hawaiian islands. Adding a ceiling fan to your bedroom on Maui can improve tranquility at night by cooling the room and adding increased air circulation. Bedroom fans might help you sleep better at night.

Curtains

We’ve written about the benefits of blackout curtains before, and we’ll mention it again — they’re great for supporting sleep day or night. Blackout curtains come in a variety of colors and materials now so there’s no excuse for using thin or sheer curtains that let in light while you’re sleeping. Some folks use a two-layer curtain so they can enjoy sheers during the day that provide nice soft filtered light, and still benefit from the blackout curtains at night or as needed for daytime naps.

Your bed is one of the most important items in the room. It needs to fit the space and also be large enough for you to sleep comfortably.

Furniture

We’re biased but we love bedroom sets! When you commit to a bedroom set, you’re really making a statement. Not only does your bedroom look incredible with all the matching pieces, but it truly feels better. According to Feng Shui, matching furniture can be especially harmonizing. The theory also suggests using a solid headboard. The headboard is thought to connect the two partners who share the bed, and it can provide stability between feminine and masculine sides.

Rugs

Finally, consider adding an accent rug or a few rugs to bring color to your space and complement your furniture and decor.
