9 Cozy Bedroom Ideas You Can Try This Holiday Season
Turning your bedroom into a warm, cozy space where you can relax and unwind after a long day is easy and achievable if you know the basics. Here are simple, relaxing bedroom ideas you can try this holiday season!
Tip #1: Start with color
Color makes a big difference, and it’s what people first notice when they enter a room. Use muted tones like beige, gray and white. Alternatively, you can try garden hues like olive green and earthen brown as these colors relax the eyes and induce a sense of calmness.
Tip #2: Layer your bedding
Layered beddings lend a feeling of comfort and relaxation to your bedroom. ettitude’s CleanBamboo® Signature Sateen Sheet Set has a silky-soft sateen weave that’s smooth and relaxing. Pair it with the CleanBamboo® Comforter and the CleanBamboo® Signature Sateen Duvet Cover for a layered look that exudes warmth and luxe.
Tip #3: Use good lighting
Soft lighting sets the mood for a relaxing bedroom. Use warm light and avoid bright, white light. A simple bedside lamp and a reading light work wonders. We love dimmer switches, as they give full control over how bright you want the light to be. Pair them with warm bulbs, and see your bedroom transform from plain to awesome.
Tip #4: Add texture
Texture gives your bedroom its personality and lends a strong sense of warmth and comfort. Invest in cozy room decor like throw pillows, oriental rugs and ettitude’s CleanBamboo® Vegan Cashmere Woven Throw Blanket. Better than cashmere, it has a plush feel and dreamy drape.
Tip #5: Breathe life into your bedroom with plants
Bring the outdoors into your bedroom by placing plants on your windowsill, bedside table and just about anywhere you feel needs a touch of mother nature. There’s nothing more beautiful and relaxing to look at than an actual, oxygen-releasing plant in a cozy bedroom. If you’re a newbie, stick to basic plants like succulents.
Tip #6: Use aromatics
Smell goes a long way, and a pleasant-smelling room relaxes the senses and eases tension and stress. Smell is a powerful agent that can easily set the mood of your bedroom. You can choose from aromatherapy, scented candles and essential oils. If you’re easily overwhelmed by a strong smell, you can use potpourri or fresh flowers for a more subtle, fleeting scent.
Tip #7: Avoid clutter
There’s nothing more relaxing than an organized room. Chaos invites tension and stress, so the first thing you want to do is to organize your room. Getting rid of old stuff you don’t need and sticking to the essentials will save you a lot of space. Use Nordic baskets as storage solutions for knick-knacks.
Yes, it's a chore tucking sheets and folding blankets after sleeping, but entering a room and seeing a nice, made-up bed waiting for you is priceless.
Tip #8: Follow your heart
Spruce your room with what makes you comfortable and happy. This can be anything and everything from placing your favorite books on your bedside table or hanging your treasured painting on the wall. Stick with what brings you joy and serenity like ettitude’s CleanBamboo Hemp™ Linen+ Quilted Coverlet, a unique combination of CleanBamboo® and hemp. Its crisp and light texture brings a sense of deep relaxation.
In a nutshell
We may not realize it, but we spend a big part of our time in our bedroom. It’s where we unwind, recharge, and prepare for the next big day. Turning your bedroom into a place of serenity is achievable. Just think of what will give you peace and calm your senses, and go for it. Use good lighting, color, and texture to create a unique oasis you can call your own.

If you’re a hot sleeper, try cooling bamboo sheets like ettitude’s Sateen+ line which quickly whisks away sweat and moisture. If you easily get cold, ettitude’s CleanBamboo® Comforter is best. Although light and breathable, its fabric shell and bamboo fiber filling are dense and insulate well.
