Design tips for decorating a cozy style primary bedroom

Here’s how to achieve the cozy aesthetic room of your dreams.

What’s the best way to design and decorate a cozy primary bedroom?

Whether you are designing for yourself or someone else, primary bedrooms should be cozy and comfortable, providing a space to unwind, recharge, and escape the chaos of the world. Even if your typical design style is more maximalist, primary bedrooms usually lean more minimalist to offer a serene backdrop for a good night’s sleep. Primary bedroom layouts are also more simple. The square footage of your primary bedroom and size of your bed frame will typically dictate the best layout.

Whether you're in the process of a primary bedroom remodel or looking to makeover your existing one, these are the key elements to include in your design:|

  • Paint or Wallpaper: Bedroom walls set the mood for the space. Select a color or pattern that complements the cozy style you want to achieve. We are partial to covering walls, ceilings, and trim in a uniform paint color to create a cohesive look. Or consider an accent wall to serve as a focal point.
  • Bed: The bed is the centerpiece and typical focal point of any bedroom, providing a comfortable and restful place to sleep. It typically includes a mattress, bed frame, and headboard. Your cozy style can really shine by selecting bedding (sheets, duvet covers, and pillows) that match the aesthetic.
  • Nightstands: Nightstands (or bedside tables) are small tables or cabinets placed on either side of the bed. They provide a convenient surface for placing bedside lamps, alarm clocks, books, and other personal items. Pro tip: Bedside tables should be placed 2-4 inches from the bed frame and no more than 24 inches deep (any deeper and it can be pretty uncomfortable to get in and out of bed). If you choose to add a table lamp or a sconce, keep in mind the depth of the light to ensure you have enough space on the bedside table.
  • Area Rug: It’s common to include an area rug in a bedroom for extra warmth and coziness. There are three common layout options for rugs in the bedroom. Option 1, place the bed and nightstands entirely on the rug. Option 2, place ⅔ of the bed on the rug, with 24 inches extending beyond the sides of the bed. Option 3, place two runners along each side of the bed (the runners should be wider than the bedside tables, if possible).
  • Decorative Lighting: Combine task, ambient, and accent lighting for a layered lighting scheme. Typically in a bedroom, you’d want a flush surface mount or chandelier on the ceiling and wall-mounted sconces or table lamps on each side of the bed. Consider the placement of lighting fixtures to eliminate shadows and evenly light the space. Dimmer switches can adjust the mood.
  • Curtains or Blinds: In bedrooms, window treatments are not just design statements. They help promote a restful sleep environment, while also adding a layer of privacy and warmth. Opting for blackout or heavy, lined curtains can enhance these effects, making them perfect for ensuring comfort and tranquility. Don’t forget a curtain rod!
  • Cozy Bedroom Decor: From accent pillows and throw blankets to bedside table lamps and wall art, bedroom accessories should be both functional and decorative. Coordinate the color and pattern with the overall bedroom color scheme and cozy style to bring your design vision to life.

What materials and home decor should I use to achieve a cozy primary bedroom design?

Cozy interior design is all about comfort. If you want your primary bedroom to feel extra cozy, focus on soft lighting, plush textiles, and comfortable furnishings. A cozy space is one that evokes warmth and promotes relaxation. Think: big, comfy cloud couches, soft rugs, chunky knit throws, and lots of cushions and throw pillows (cozy maxing, anyone?). If your space is larger, try to create more intimate seating areas that encourage conversation and connection. Choose a color palette that is warm and soothing. Neutrals are most common for cozy spaces, but if you want to add color, consider earthy tones, soft pastels, or rich jewel tones.
