An awkward layout. Layout is so important because it affects how the space feels, and in turn, how you use it. You should be able to walk freely and comfortably around the space. If you can’t, your layout might be wrong. Give it a refresh by placing your bed on the longest wall and reevaluating the size of your furniture.

Improperly sized nightstands. If your nightstands are the wrong size, your furniture will look out of proportion. A bed with a thick mattress and tall headboard needs large nightstands. Often referred to as “Bachelor’s chests”, these nightstands are the size of a small cabinet and are made for large beds and bedrooms.

No place to sit besides the bed. Avoid extra wear on your mattress and keep your bedding clean by sitting somewhere else. You need a place to sit and read, take off your shoes or just relax with a drink. Add a chair to a corner of your bedroom for a cozy and comfortable spot.

Not decorating the foot of the bed. Decorating the foot of the bed has so many benefits. It gives your bedroom a designer look, provides a spot for extra blankets or pillows that aren’t being used at night and offers a place to sit if there’s no room for a chair. Try a bench or a pair of pretty ottomans to give this space an instant upgrade.

Non-layered lighting. Multiple light sources are a must for a relaxing bedroom. Overhead lighting is only the start. Add lamps or sconces for winding down at night. Don’t forget appropriate window coverings to keep out or let in light when needed.
