The holiday season is the perfect time to give your bedroom a fresh, inviting makeover. Whether youβre hosting guests, preparing for a well-earned break, or simply wanting to start the new year feeling organised and rejuvenated, small updates can make a big difference. From upgrading your bedding to refreshing your furniture layout, a holiday bedroom makeover helps create a cosy, calm environment ideal for rest and celebration.
Hereβs how to transform your bedroom into a festive, comfortable retreat this holiday season.
Declutter and Create Space for a Fresh Start
Before adding new dΓ©cor or furniture, start by decluttering your bedroom. Clear surfaces, bedside tables, and closets to create an open, airy feel. A tidy room instantly feels more relaxing and allows your holiday styling choices to shine.
If you need extra storage, consider functional furniture pieces like those in our
Chest of Drawers Collection.
Upgrade Your Mattress for Holiday Comfort
If your mattress is showing signs of wear β such as sagging, lumps, or morning aches β the holiday season is a great time to upgrade. A supportive mattress not only enhances sleep quality but also elevates the entire feel of your bedroom.
Whether for yourself or for a guest room, a fresh mattress creates an immediate comfort boost. Explore supportive, Australian-made options in our
Mattress Collection.
Refresh with Holiday Bedding and Textures
Seasonal bedding is one of the easiest ways to update your bedroom for the holidays. Consider adding:
- Soft, warm quilts or comforters
- Festive colours like deep greens, warm reds, or gold accents
- Textured throws and plush cushions
-
Crisp, breathable sheets for summer holidays
Layering textures not only looks luxurious but also adds practical comfort for varying holiday temperatures.
Add Warm, Festive Lighting
Lighting transforms atmosphere. Replace bright white bulbs with warm, soft lighting to create a cosy holiday glow. Consider:
- Soft bedside lamps
- Fairy lights along the bedframe or windows
-
Candles (real or LED) for ambience
Warm lighting helps your room feel peaceful and welcoming.
