Making over the bedroom is a continuous journey, and you improve as you move on. Once the bedroom is free from clutter and you have clear visions, start rearranging the bed.

This will make the bed an excellent focal point. Now update the bedding. White is always a safe proposition. However, you may use light color bed sheets that complement the color of the room.

You should not also forget to paint the ceiling while painting the walls. Paint it in matching colors for a great view. As an example, you may paint the walls in blue with a darker tone for the border. Combine it with soft white or light green ceiling for a nice ambiance.

The bedroom is a sacred place to retreat and relax every day. This makes the comfortable lighting in the bedroom essential. It must have a tranquil ambiance as well, for a calm and quiet feeling. You may have overhead pendant lights or a chandler. But, switching these off and using as decorative pieces will yield better results. Instead, have lamps on the walls for ambient lighting.

Alternatively, you may use a decorative table lamp. Use accent lighting to highlight the features and art pieces in the bedroom.
