A good night’s sleep is so important. I’ve always been a girl that looooves her sleep. I prefer to go to bed early and get up early-ish. I love to read in bed every night and make a routine of settling in for the night to ensure a good restful sleep. Setting up your bedroom for coziness is a sure way to have a good night’s sleep!
Here are some examples of great bedroom’s that are not only cozy but stylish too!
Here are my 5 steps on creating a cozy bedroom for a good night’s sleep
1.Cozy Bedding
First you need to start with cozy bedding. And throw pillows and throw blankets always make the bed look more luxurious!
Studio McGee decorated this bedroom and the bed could not be cozier!
2. Cozy Lighting
Reading helps me to fall asleep so cozy lighting is a must. I love to buy lamps with USB outlets in them to lessen all the cords.
Amy Peters decorated this gorgeous bedroom and I love the pottery lamps.
3. Decluttered Room
I don’t like to have anything else around in the bedroom that can look cluttered so keeping everything else clear keeps distractions to a minimal.
Caitlin Flemming is the best at creating cozy and minimal at the same time. Just stunning!
4.Blackout Curtains or Blinds
I’ve sewn blackout curtains for every bedroom in every house. I usually sew them from scratch in one of my most popular posts but this time I sewed blackout lining in store-bought curtains and it was definitely easier than sewing from scratch.
Christina Cole and Co. created a cozy bedroom with the best blackout curtains. This room would be a dream to sleep in!
5. Cozy Rug
Having a rug in the bedroom muffles sound and keeps your feet warm when you first step out of bed. I have carpet in all our bedrooms but if I didn’t, I would definitely have a rug in each room.
Amber Interiors is the best at putting together rooms with gorgeous rugs.
Here are a few more cozy bedroom examples to share with you to give you more inspiration!
House of Seven Interiors made this bedroom into a cozy dream with the mix of new and vintage and a high level of coziness!
Halfway Wholeistic has the magic touch for neutrals and coziness.
And Becki Owens masters tasteful spaces with just the right amount of coziness.
I hope this has helped you get inspiration on how to create your own cozy bedroom!

How to Sew Blackout Lining to Store Bought Curtains

I really like your curtains. Can you please share where you got them? I have to have blinds on my windows…. street lights and business across the street shine right in my windows. I plan to trim them this winter and may put up some curtains. I like yours a lot. Thanks for your tutorial on sewing in blackout fabric. Great idea.
Hi Mary,
I got them at Soft Surroundings! They are balloon panels but I cut them off at the bottom as I have baseboard heaters under each window. Here is an affiliate link: http://rstyle.me/n/cvhwinb82i7

I love your bedroom too and love to change the look for spring/summer and fall/winter. I’m not sure by the picture what size your bed is, but mine is a king and I was wondering, have you ever seen or do they even make throws for a king size bed? I can’t seem to find any and feel a throw should hang down on each side. Ideas? Thoughts? Thankyou!
Hi Colleen,
Yes my bed is a king. I’ve seen throws in the bedding section for king size at Home Sense and Bed Bath and Beyond. Most aren’t labelled a throw but a coverlet or king size blanket so it’s just a matter of looking in the section where the comforters are carried.

SoOOO pretty, Jamie. It looks serene and comfortable to me. Beautiful! Have a great weekend. xo Diana
Thanks Diana! You too!

Jamie – your bedroom looks so cozy and serene. You’ve motivated me to declutter my master for that minimalist look while still feeling cozy. Thanks for sharing the tips re: the black out lining on store bought window treatments and the source for the material. Your blog is one of my favs – I like your design style and all of the DIYs!
Aww thanks Teresa! I’m so glad you found this helpful! Thanks so much for being here.
Hugs, Jamie
I like your place. It looks wonderful. I have always been sewing and changing something in my house (at least dreaming about it!), and it is important not to go too far. Your tips can help a lot, thanks.
Thanks Karolina!
Hugs, Jamie
