Easy bedroom makeover ideas

Your bedroom is more than just a place to sleep—it’s your personal space that should reflect your style and comfort preferences. When it’s time for a change, you don’t need to completely renovate to achieve a fresh new look. At Shackletons, we understand how simple changes can dramatically refresh your bedroom.

Assess Your Space

Before starting any bedroom makeover, take stock of what you currently have. Consider:

• Which elements of your bedroom work well?
• What aspects feel outdated or no longer suit your needs?
• How does the flow of the room feel?
• Are there any storage issues that need addressing?

Taking measurements is essential—particularly noting ceiling height, window positions, and door swings. This preparation ensures any new furniture will fit perfectly in your room.

Simple Changes for Big Impact

Update Your Bedding

One of the quickest ways to transform your bedroom is with new bedding. Fresh sheets, pillowcases, and a duvet cover in coordinating colours or patterns can instantly rejuvenate the room without significant investment.

Rearrange Furniture

Sometimes, simply changing the layout of your existing furniture can make your bedroom feel completely different. Try positioning your bed against a different wall or rearranging side tables for a fresh perspective.

Colour Makes All the Difference

Pantone Colour of the Year

Incorporating the Pantone Colour of the Year Mocha Mousse is a brilliant way to keep your bedroom looking current. For 2025, consider adding accents of this trendy shade through cushions, throws, or even a feature wall if you’re feeling bold.

Paint and Wallpaper

A new coat of paint or a striking wallpaper can dramatically alter the mood of your bedroom. Consider calming blues and greens for relaxation, or warm neutrals for a lasting appeal.

• Consider dimmer switches to adjust the brightness according to the time of day
• Choose warm-toned bulbs for a cosy, relaxing atmosphere
• Position reading lights precisely where you need them
