How To Create a Cosy Bedroom Vibe

Turn your bedroom into a comforting retreat with simple, thoughtful touches

Your bedroom should be more than just a place to sleep, it should be your sanctuary. A calming, cosy space that invites you to relax, unwind, and feel completely at home. Whether you're starting fresh or adding a few finishing touches, it's easy to elevate the comfort level of your room with a little care and creativity.

Here’s how to create that perfect “cosy” bedroom vibe you’ll never want to leave.

1. Start with a Solid Foundation: The Bed

Your bed is the centrepiece of the room, and nothing says comfort like a handcrafted, solid wood frame from Get Laid Beds.

• Choose a low platform bed for a grounded, zen-like feel.

• Opt for a natural wood finish to add warmth and organic texture.

• Add a luxurious mattress and layered bedding for cloud-like comfort.

Style it with plush throws, soft linen sheets, and a mountain of cushions in varying textures to create that irresistible “just-dive-in” look.

2. Embrace Warm, Layered Lighting

Good lighting transforms the entire atmosphere of your bedroom.

• Use warm white bulbs or dimmable options for a softer glow.

• Add bedside lamps with fabric shades, string fairy lights, or even LED candles.

• Consider wall sconces or pendant lights to free up surfaces and create a clean, inviting look.

Multiple light sources allow you to shift from practical to peaceful in seconds.

3. Use Calming Colours and Natural Tones

A cosy space should feel calm and effortless.

• Stick to a palette of earthy neutrals, warm whites, or muted pastels.

• Add natural textures with wood, linen, jute, or wool.

• Don’t be afraid to mix textures: think soft throws on smooth cotton sheets, or a velvet cushion against a rattan chair.

Layering tones and materials gives your room depth and softness without overwhelming the senses.

4. Add Elements of Nature

Bringing a touch of the outdoors inside makes any space feel grounded and calm.

• Add a few houseplants low-maintenance options like peace lilies or pothos are perfect for bedrooms.

• Use dried flowers or pampas grass in a ceramic vase for a rustic touch.

• Let in natural light during the day to connect your space with the outside world.

Even a single plant on your windowsill can lift the mood of the entire room.

5. Keep It Clutter-Free (But Personal)

Cosy doesn’t mean crowded. Keep surfaces clean and tidy, but leave space for the things that bring you comfort.

• Use underbed storage (like our Ottoman or Storage Drawer Beds) to keep clutter out of sight.

• Display a few favourite books, photos, or sentimental objects on a bedside shelf or dresser.

• Add a scented candle, reed diffuser, or essential oil burner for that extra sensory touch.

Let your space tell your story, calm, curated, and completely you.
