Five Ways to Refresh Your Bedroom for the New Year
The beginning of every year is an opportunity to reflect on the previous one and refresh what may not have worked for you, whether that be certain habits or your bedroom décor! After all, we spend approximately one third of our lives sleeping, so it’s important for us to have the perfect space every night. If you’re in need of a bedding refresh this year, these are our 5 coziest tips!
Tip #1: Revamp your color palette!

When you’re a kid, one of the most common questions you get asked is, “What’s your favorite color?” As we get older though, our tastes change, including our color preferences. Your favorite color may have changed during your adult life as you revamped your wardrobe or your home décor, learning which colors match with each other and which suit your unique personality and tastes best. If your room’s had the same general color palette for a while, consider changing it up this year! Whether you choose to order some new bedding to match your walls or repaint your walls altogether, you won’t be disappointed with the result!
Tip #2: Give your bed a fun little skirt!

If you’re anything like me, you probably have some storage containers underneath your bed. While it might be convenient, those containers can totally throw off the whole room’s decor. If you find yourself wanting to hide them, then a bed skirt might be ideal solution for you. A bed skirt simply hangs off your bed from underneath the mattress, neatly tucking away whatever you store underneath your bed. Our Cozytown bed skirts create a simple, timeless look perfect for any interior design.
Tip #3: Swap to a duvet!

Most sleepers have a comforter on their bed, but have you ever thought about swapping your comforter out for a duvet? A duvet performs the same function as a comforter, but it has one key difference; instead of being a single quilted piece (like a comforter), a duvet consists of both an insert and removable cover that allows for both style changes and easy washing. If you’re looking to swap out comforters during different seasons, consider opting for a duvet instead! Your washing machine will thank you.
Tip #4: Add a mattress pad!

Maybe one of your New Year’s resolutions is to build better sleeping habits; maybe you often find yourself struggling to fall asleep at night because of a lack of comfort. If that’s the case, then you need to get yourself a mattress pad! A mattress pad is the perfect way to add some additional cushioning to enjoy your nightly rest. They can be especially helpful when staying in a dorm. For more information, check out our own Cozy Cloud Mattress Pad!
Tip #5: Get some waterproof protection!

You know the saying, “Don’t cry over spilled milk”? Well, that saying wouldn’t exist if things never spilled. Accidents happen; they’re a part of life. We can’t always prevent those spilt beverages. However, we can minimize the damage they cause when they do inevitably spill, and that’s where waterproof protection comes in! Waterproof mattress protectors and pillow covers are an essential part of minimizing damage when coffee spills and the like occur while you’re just trying to enjoy your morning. If you find yourself constantly having to clean up spills, then these items may be just what you need to enjoy worry-free mornings in your new year!
There you have it! Those are our top 5 tips for refreshing your bedroom in the new year; which one was your favorite?
