Make Your Bedroom More Grown-Up*

When you’re living in a proper adult home, you should have an adult space. As you transition from living with your parents and sharing with other people to having your own home, you might feel like your space doesn’t really belong to you. Making your bedroom more grown-up can turn it into a space that you’re worthy of, with the adult touches that really show who you are. If your bedroom still looks childish or it’s just kind of boring, you can easily give it more personality. Here are some of the things that you can do if you want to make your bedroom more grown-up.

Choose a Coherent Style

To make your bedroom more suited to an adult, start by choosing a style that you want to follow. As you grow up, you can end up collecting an eclectic range of furniture and home accessories. They were probably cheap, but they don’t exactly all go together. The way to solve this problem is by picking a theme to use for your decor. Take inspiration from the 1950s and ’60s and look at mid century modern beds and matching bedroom furniture. Or be inspired by Scandinavian style, minimalism, industrial style, or whatever takes your fancy.

Get Rid of Clutter

Not all adults are very neat and tidy, but keeping your bedroom neat is one of the ways you can try to make it more grown-up. A cluttered bedroom may not only look disorganized, but it can also make it somewhere that’s not that conducive to sleep. Keeping your bedroom tidy and removing clutter while also making it stylish is an important way to ensure it looks and feels more adult. Try not to have too many items floating around the room and make an effort to pick up after yourself. Good storage can help you.

Age Up Your Bedding and Drapery

It might seem like a small change, but some grown-up bedding can make a real difference to your bedroom. Instead of buying the cheapest bedding you can find or getting something with a silly pattern on it, try to choose something that’s more suited to an adult decor style. Of course, being an adult doesn’t have to stop you from being fun and playful. But investing in good quality sheets will help your room to look fantastic while also helping you to sleep better by making your bed more comfortable.

Add Artwork

Adding artwork to your bedroom will give it more personality. It will ensure it doesn’t just look like a dorm room or an undecorated place that doesn’t belong to anyone. You can hang artwork on the walls that suits your tastes and style so your room doesn’t just look like it belongs to an adult but also that it belongs to you. If you want to make any art look sophisticated, even if it’s a band or movie poster, framing it can make a big difference.

You can make your bedroom more grown-up with a few changes so that you can have a more adult space that feels like you.
