5 Ways to Amp Up Your Sleep Space
Summer is officially winding down, and as the days begin to get shorter, it might be time to cozy up your sleep space. The good news: A bedroom upgrade doesn’t have to break the bank. Keep reading for some simple and stylish top interior design ideas that’ll keep your primary suite cozy, cute and effortlessly refreshed this season.
Keep It Minimal
Your bedroom should be a sanctuary of rest, comfort and calm. Embrace a design that transforms your sleep space into a true mental retreat, with a neutral palette, minimal distractions and soothing tones. Think layered textures, gentle lighting and serene accents.
Seize the Space’s Strong Points
Whether it’s expansive windows that flood the room with natural light, a striking overhead lighting fixture or a spacious walk-in closet, choose a feature or two to highlight. You might use an artful statement mirror in the closet to make it feel larger, or incorporate intentional design elements that draw the eye upward to showcase your lighting or elegant curtains that frame the windows beautifully.
Green Is a Go
Sustainable never goes out of style, especially since the homes at Wendell Falls meet ecoSelect standards! Leaning into the green, a trend gaining momentum this year is “biophilic design,” aka design with nature elements at the forefront. Whether you want to fudge the line between indoor and outdoor or add a few plants, water features or hang up some nature-inspired artwork, these elements bring a sense of calm, freshness and connection to the natural world right into your home.
Head(boards) Up
A simple update many are making in 2025 is investing in a one-of-a-kind headboard as the primary suite’s statement piece to communicate the character of the room. From bold colors to standout materials to creative shapes, the headboard can take a simple bed into an attention-grabbing focal point.
Make It YOU
What’s the most stylish design choice you can make? Leaning into whatever you like! While trends are always evolving, make sure to freshen up your space with touches that allow you to truly express yourself. Showcase individual flair through adding a cozy reading nook, springing for some sconces or another accent piece you love, or taking on a DIY project to refinish that bedside table or reupholster that chair in the corner.
