10 Bedroom Décor Ideas to Make it Look Luxurious 

Who wouldn't want a bedroom that looks like it belongs in the glossy pages of a home décor magazine? However, most people's budgets refuse to cooperate with their big dreams.

If this describes you, don't give up on creating the bedroom of your dreams, or at least a close approximation of it. It is possible to add a touch of style to your room that does not appear expensive.

Here are bedroom wall art ideas to add a touch of luxe. Let’s dive into the methods. 

1. Zhush your pillows 

Plump, overstuffed pillows are the gold standard in upscale hotels, so replicate the look at home. Stylists accomplish this by purchasing inserts that are slightly larger than their pillow covers. Throw pillows are a great way to add a bit of style and comfort to any room. From classic florals to modern geometric designs, there is something for everyone. Trendy Throw pillows are a great way to add a bit of luxury and texture to any room. Here’s a look at some of the trendiest throw pillows around.

Buy 20-inch inserts if you have an 18-inch square pillow. And when it comes time to replace your sleeping pillows, look for ones that are as thick and lofty as possible. Also, don't skimp on the number of them. 

You don't have to pile sleeping pillows on top of each other, but hotels usually dress their beds with two pillows per person.

2. Bring in a tray 

Trays instantly elevate a space, especially when filled with unique trinkets. If you want to put one on your vanity, fill it with pretty perfume bottles, favorite creams, and jewelry. 

All you need for a small tray on your nightstand is a candle and possibly a carafe-and-water glass combination.

3. Keep the floor empty

Granted, this is more of an organization and cleaning tip, but don't let that detract from its significance. A cluttered bedroom never looks luxurious, so keep the floor clean and orderly—no stacks of books or piles of extension cords.

4. Minimalism wall art

Minimalist wall art exemplifies simplicity, high quality, open space, clean lines, and a lack of clutter. Combine a neutral decor (think grey, stone, or beige) with a contrasting color element, such as a work of art, furniture, or feature wall.

An accent element is like a surprise in a room, and it does not have to be garish. For example extra large canvas wall art is simply a great way to draw attention to something extra special rather than having it get lost in the crowd.

5. Choose nightstands with bling

Nightstands are essential pieces of bedroom furniture. However, many are utilitarian in terms of style, and they can become cluttered with your necessities.

First, declutter your nightstand to give your bedroom the royal treatment. Remove all unnecessary paperwork and possessions, leaving only lighting, a book, and possibly a tiny vase of flowers.

Next, replace your current nightstand with one that has a luxurious finish, such as a mirror or shagreen. Choose a piece with reflective hardware, such as crystal or brass, for a more subtle look.

6. Make a blanket statement

A thick, luxurious throw blanket instantly transforms the foot of your bed. Forget about the cheap microfleece throw; it’s for cuddling on the couch while watching TV. But it won't make your room look expensive. 

Choose a throw blanket made of fuzzy wool, velour, silk, velvet, or even faux fur instead. Stick to a solid color, an animal print, or a subtle design instead of going crazy with a pattern. Your bedroom now looks nice, and your tootsies are warmer at night.

7. Abstract wall art

Abstract wall art is also a great way to show off your favorite pieces of art. It's an art form that deviates from traditional representations of drawing art. The goal of abstract art is to experiment with form and color.

Surrealism, Dadaism, Cubism, and Fauvism were all abstract art movements. Suprematism, Art Informel, Neo-Plasticism, and De Stijl are examples of other abstract art forms.

8. Add some texture 

Textural elements can add a layered and visually rich feel to a bedroom. You can add some coziness or a sheepskin rug on the floor next to the bed. If you want a boho-luxe look, bring in rattan baskets and look for a fun woven light fixture. 

Pom poms and tassels are incorporated into the mix on embellished blankets and pillows. Everything you do will make your space more exciting and inviting.

9. Style your nightstand 

Don't let your nightstand devolve into an open-air junk drawer. Empty your drinking glasses regularly and remove items like hand creams and dog-eared paperbacks from the surface. 

Make a concerted effort to style out your nightstand to make your room feel more opulent. Select a cute lamp, add a plant, and consider hanging something small in the empty wall space behind the tabletop.

10. Upgrade your mirror

If you're still using the plain mirror you got in college, it's time to upgrade. Consider an antique-inspired brass mirror or something curvy to open up space. You can also find a model with a shelf, which adds some vertical storage space to your purchase. 

Mirrors can be costly, so begin your search on Craigslist, a flea market, or a garage sale. You can get a great deal on used items. Be as specific as possible with your search terms on online marketplaces for the best results. If you find a shape you like but dislike the finishing, all you need is a can of paint to fix it.

11. Showcase a special piece

You probably have at least a few hobbies, and with those interests comes stuff. As wall decor, use decorative collections and unique pieces, such as an acoustic guitar, and your space will look instantly bespoke. 

This decorating move had an unintended but pleasant side effect. You also get things off the floor, so your sleeping area appears less cluttered as a result.

12. Shine a light on it

Do you want a luxurious-looking bedroom? Then, instead of the cheap ceiling fixture, opt for a stylish hanging light. Your lighting options include a small chandelier, pendant, or drum-shade fixture. 

Just make sure the light is proportionate to the rest of your room and complements the rest of your furnishings.
