7 Warm and Cosy Bedroom Ideas

1. Go overboard with soft and tactile surfaces

If you want a cosy bedroom, then why not? Get that sinking feeling, literally, with ultra-soft fabrics and deep cushions. This is the ultimate in cosy bedroom ideas.

It can start with the bed itself. Look for upholstered beds, covered in gorgeous fabrics and available in a selection of colours. Or maybe go for a simple metal or wooden bed frame, but paired with a lavish headboard – we have gorgeous buttoned, panelled and winged styles to choose from. Other furniture, from armchairs to footstools, can be upholstered in soft material such as velvets and silks.

Of course, the way you accessorise a bed can add to the softness. Look for a high-quality Tempur mattress with memory foam, or perhaps a mattress topper, for serious sleeping comfort. Then go crazy with cushions in all shapes, sizes and colours. Finish by adding some extra luxury with faux fur throws.

3. Start with a white colour scheme

White has a sense of purity about it – a starting point from where anything is possible. Weave white into your cosy bedroom ideas for a nuanced, sophisticated effect.

Pick a white double bed, then add to the look with a matching chest of drawers and wardrobes. Choose bed sheets and accessories, or a wall colour, that is slightly off-white – maybe cream or a pastel shade to stop the look feeling sterile.

Keep the room all-white, or use it as a blank canvas to introduce some warming pops of colour through accessories such as cushions or vases. Blend in some oak bedroom furniture, and a white bedroom can easily start to lean towards a relaxing country or coastal theme.

5. Warm, cosy bedroom colours

If you’re craving more warmth in your bedroom, try including rich colours – think reds, oranges and yellows – as welcoming and warm bedroom ideas.The degree to which you apply them is up to you. Be bold, or maybe introduce a tropical or floral theme. Otherwise you could start with a neutral for the furniture, like grey or white, and work in warm colours with a yellow rug or orange cushions. Metallics can be warming too, so try copper lighting or a gold mirror.

Colour makes room feel cosy as long as the tones are warmer rather than cooler. A darker shade on the walls will help, so if you’re looking for cosy bedroom ideas try a bold grey or moodier scheme, complemented by soothing greens and blues. A grey bed frame with white bed linen will look good next to a wall of a similar shade.

7. Vary textures to add interest

Something that will make a bedroom feel both warm and cosy is an array of varied textures. Think chunky knits, velvets, linens, leather and suede, and any other fabric you can get your hands on. Include as many as you can to give your cosy bedroom ideas a boost.

Upholstered beds or a velvet chair might be a good place to start. Dress them both up with blankets, throws, cushions and quilts. Stick to a particular colour scheme, but mix up the textures as much as you can. Warm neutrals with soft textures works particularly well. And who can resist a deep pile rug that’s soft and comfortable underfoot when you get out of bed in the morning.
