This Scandinavian-inspired toddlers’ room is filled with airiness, comfort and calmness. This is what a toddler room should feel like to balance their learning striving and emotional chaos.

Especially in a shared boy and girl room, it is important to make their dedicated space look special. The easiest way to do it is to add wall art pieces that are customized to their current hobbies or dreams.

Use the bed linen or decorations placed around the bed to create contrast and interest in the bedroom. Of course, the color of this decoration should match the existing interior and create a much-needed relaxing vibe.

Linen and burlap in their natural colors create a homely feel. Add them with pillows and a throw blanket on the bed.

You can make yourself a pair of framed art with these materials to enhance the rustic touch.

5. Add Nautical Touches

Coastal style elements also make the bedroom ambiance more relaxing and inviting. You can add this style with fabric prints and small pieces of furniture.

This bedroom decor features a rattan table repurposed into a nightstand. The fabric print of the lampshade and the pillows on the bed easily relate to the ocean theme.

Highlight the sanctuary of the bedroom with a photo collage of your favorite and dear memories.

Candle lanterns are very suitable decorations for the bedroom. The light motif is related to coziness and warmth, so is the bedroom ambiance.

Make yourself a customized candle lantern from frames from the Dollar Tree. For a nautical look, add sand and seashells to the bottom, pine tree branches to match the Christmas theme, or a more universal arrangement.

9. DIY Practical Mirror

If your bedroom is small, you can use such a functional mirror.

The top end of it continues with a narrow shelf where you can place boxes with jewelry, cosmetics, or small decorations.

@manda_themama

There are flower varieties suitable for the bedroom ambiance and even helpful for a good night’s sleep and the purity of the air.

Although the number of decorations we usually display in our bedrooms is small, each is important for the overall look and impact this space creates.

We suggest that you use rattan pots or baskets to hold the bedroom plants, which will add a warm touch to the relaxing atmosphere.

11. DIY Wall Garland

This seasonal bedroom decor is gorgeous. To make it, get a bunch of faux flowers, transparent cord, or white paper tape.

You can arrange the flowers in separate garlands and then hang them on the wall or seal each flower on the wall on its own with painter’s tape.

12. Utilize Space

Odd bedroom corners can be convenient for customized shelf units like the one shown in this bedroom decor inspiration.

The floating shelves are made from solid wood and stained a gorgeous dark color that matches the bedroom base.

Despite the size of each shelf, you can accommodate small decorations and a few books and declutter the bedroom.

13. Add A Canopy

Canopies were once a functional addition to the bed. Nowadays, they are a means of making the bed area more private, romantic, or delicate.

Canopies are also suitable for a girl’s room decor. Instead of buying one, you can make one yourself with an embroidery hoop, fabric of your choice, and a hook.

14. Customized Bench

Add faux fur fabric to the bench seat to give your bedroom a luxurious feel. You can also get a fur rug from the Dollar Store and repurpose it as a cushion cover.

15. DIY Modern Floating Shelves

@craftscentralafrica

Bed space is usually limited, so books or decorations can be stored on vertical shelf units. What about modern floating shelves like these?

The sleek, glossy texture of the shelf itself will fit any existing interior. The metal consoles can be chosen in black for an industrial touch, brass or gold color for a retro hue, or silver for a more neutral look.

16. DIY Box Shelves

Or you can make yourself open wooden boxes for storage on the wall. Make them in different sizes to create interest and enable storage of items of various sizes.

The combination of white and wooden colors is great for a more neutral, Scandinavian-inspired bedroom.

17. DIY Light Headboard

@theroomdecor_

If you want to make your bedroom dreamy, create a headboard from strings of lights.

If there isn’t a wall support to hang them to, you can attach them with painter’s tape. Stretch them down to create a light curtain that will make the ambiance at night so romantic.
