January 15, 2021

Minimalist or not, we stand by the universal truth that bedroom décor should always be straightforward and simple. That’s the beauty of the bedroom—you don’t really need much of anything to make it feel special and noteworthy. In fact, you can actually count the list of bedroom essentials needed on one hand. From bed frame basics to seamless side tables, these are the foundational elements to ground your space in.

Invest in the Best

The cornerstone of bedroom décor starts and ends with three words: made for forever. Whether it’s a bed frame, accent piece, or light fixture, invest in classic furniture that you can take with you from space to space by focusing on high-quality construction, enduring design, and refined simplicity. Think of each investment piece as a core part of your room’s canvas—by anchoring your space with bedroom essentials that work well with anything, switching up the smaller details seasonally is easy.

Know Your Neutral

The key to a bedroom that’s tranquil and inviting? A neutral color palette. From your duvet cover of choice to the paint that graces your walls, sticking to muted hues is a surefire way to keep your space feeling timeless and elevated with ease. Enhance your color scheme with textured pieces such as cozy sheepskins, linen pillows, a jute rug, and decorative throws for an added element of cultivated comfort.

Find Your Sidekick

For the final foundational element of the bedroom, look no further than functional accents. Think structured side tables to hold a candle or carafe and benches for blankets at your bed’s end. For smaller spaces that are short on square footage, try a new take on the side table with a Cedar Stump. Focusing on purposeful pieces to round out your space will keep clutter in check and make sure your bedroom is nothing short of an oasis.
