How to Style a Big Bedroom So It Looks and Feels Cosy

While having a large master bedroom is undoubtedly a benefit, it can also pose certain decorating challenges. Specifically: How do you cover all that space without going overboard with design?
How to Decorate a Large Bedroom Space?
The secret to creating a bedroom that feels and looks cosy without turning it into a dusty museum showroom is to design visually cohesive yet unique areas. Above all, the space should be peaceful. So, without further ado, here’s how to turn your bedroom into a sophisticated, light-filled, yet comfortable room.
Go Big
Only large bedroom furniture pieces can do your oversized bedroom justice. So think big and scale up your furniture and decor, starting with the most obvious – the bed.
Being the focal point of any bedroom, choosing a king-sized or super-king-sized bed is an excellent place to start. Most people can only dream about placing a giant bed in their bedroom, so think of your spacious bedroom as an ultimate blessing, allowing you to indulge and escape at the end of a long day.
When browsing the range of king beds in modern styles online, look for high-quality options that exceed traditional design standards. You get to create a relaxing sanctuary out of your large bedroom, so make it right! If the bed is your starting point in the whole design process, you can pick a style that’ll set the tone of the entire room. Imagine your final bedroom look and opt for a contemporary king bed to help you achieve that.
While simple, minimalist designs blend well into any interior style, a statement king headboard makes your bed seem special and grand. When looking for king beds modern designs made of smooth timbers can complement any colour combination you would like to implement later.
Buying furniture for your home, including a modern king bed for your bedroom, is a great way to reduce your environmental footprint. Shopping from eco-friendly companies supporting sustainable manufacturing processes and materials can help the Earth while you’re adorning your home with furniture that looks amazing and lasts for generations.
Create Zones Within Your Spacious Bedroom
Creating different areas or nooks within the bedroom is a great way to adorn it without making it look and feel overwhelming. One way to achieve that is to make a separate sitting space for reading or watching TV with a sofa, chaise lounge, or two chairs. The change can mean switching from a king to a queen-size bed if more floor space is required.
Check if the space between different furniture pieces is as wide as a doorway to guarantee flow around it and any additional furniture. If your room is square, set aside a comfortable area with a big armchair and ottoman, a side table, and a floor or table lamp for relaxing.
Another excellent way is to incorporate a makeup station or office nook into your layout to make your bedroom work harder. I would modify the study nook to allow you to turn it off when not in use. A clever way to have the best of both worlds is with a movable wall or door that can be closed off. Additionally, it’s simple to tuck away work-related clutter so that when you return to your desk, you can continue where you left off and the space doesn’t feel cluttered.
Work With the Space Around the Bed
There are many ideas on what to do with the extra space around the bed, but two are favourites among design experts.
Place a Plush Ottoman at the Foot of the Bed
Consider an upholstered bench or ottoman at the end of your bed, with or without storage, if your master bedroom is too small for a seating area with occasional chairs. This ottoman bench can be used as a single unit or as two separate pieces, depending on where more seating is required, like in the living room.
Convert a Big Bed into a Four-poster Bed
Four-poster beds are now more common and available to everyone, although they were once exclusively found in presidential and royal suites. They can also lessen the impression of space in your bedroom design. A four-poster bed makes a big impression and looks amazing in a bedroom with high ceilings.
I’ve always wanted one because four-poster beds are unique in Australia. The height creates a dramatic effect that instantly makes the bed feel cosy. First, measure the height of the ceiling. It’s better if the bed is taller, a room may appear smaller if the poles are too close to the ceiling.
Cover the Bed with Plush Sheets
Start with a marshmallowy quilt, a ribbed jacquard quilt cover, and crisp white linen bed linens. That can result in a look that’s easy to wear with almost anything and is soft and carefree. I use throws and cushions to add texture and pattern for an additional layer of cosiness. Experts typically recommend using two display cushions and four sleep pillows, maybe with a throw, for a minimalist look on a king bed. Stack two sleep pillows with two Euros and four decorative cushions for an opulent coastal look.
