Decorating your bedroom isn’t just about figuring out where to place your bed and making sure your curtains block out enough light. You also have to think beyond what’s fashionable in design trends to create a bedroom that suits your personality. After all, you need to be able to sleep, dress, and possibly work in your bedroom. Comfortable isn’t just a word that describes your mattress, it’s how you want to feel when you’re in your bedroom.
Cool Colors in Calming Shades for Introverts

One of the hallmarks of introverts is that they like to spend time alone to recharge. If you’re an introvert, turn your bedroom into a calming oasis where you can escape from the stresses of the day. Cool colors in soft tones, especially blues, are best for creating a tranquil environment. Consider mixing blue and heather gray for a serene environment. Pop in a few patterns in other cool colors with throw pillows or a bedspread, but keep it to a minimum so the room doesn’t get too busy.
Jewel-Toned Accessories for Creatives
Painting the walls a jewel tone might be a bit overstimulating for a bedroom. If you want some mental inspiration without making it hard to sleep at night, jazz up your bedroom’s accessories with jewel tones. A comfortable chair in jade green, a sapphire area rug, or a lamp with a ruby shade are great starting points if you’ve got a creative mind and want your room to reflect your vibrant personality.
Monochromatic Bed Linens for Mathematical Minds
If you like order and prefer looking at things analytically, you don’t want sheets, blankets, or a comforter with busy patterns. A mathematical mind will find too many distracting elements in patterned or bright bed linens. Stick with neutral monochromatic colors, like white, blue, black, or brown. You may even find that having a carefully designed mattress cover helps you sleep better. This Leesa mattress review talks about Leesa’s attractive striped mattress cover, which is made of soft, thick fabric and looks nice enough to be a bedspread.
Textures and Neutrals for Pragmatic Personalities

If you’re the kind of person who recognizes how impractical it is to change your décor to fit the trends, then you probably have a pragmatic personality. You’ll want to stay with neutra and natural tones when decorating your bedroom. To keep the tans, whites, and browns from getting boring, vary the texture. Different woods and fabrics will add an interesting dynamic to your bedroom without requiring you to replace elements that go out of style. Think of creative ways to add texture as an accessory, too, like a vase of dried branches or even the shadow cast by a light.
The bedroom décor perfect for one personality will drive a different kind of person crazy. Pick colors, textures, and furnishings that make you happy and suit your personality. Then build your bedroom design scheme from there by choosing complementary colors and accessories.
