5 Tips for Creating a Cozy and Chic Bedroom
Here at Micah & Co. we believe that your bedroom should not only LOOK good but also FEEL good. Creating a cozy and comfortable bedroom retreat is a great way to ensure that you wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day ahead. In this blog post, we'll show you how to make your bedroom the most cozy place in your home while keeping design in mind.
The Preakness Project
Tip #1: If you read our blog last week, you already know that we recommend splurging on good bedding and pillows! Investing in high-quality bedding is a must when designing your bedroom oasis. Soft and luxurious sheets, a warm duvet, and fluffy pillows will not only feel good but also look good - and a bonus is that it will last longer than cheaper bedding! Look for natural fibers such as cotton or linen for the ultimate comfort.

Tip #2: Choose a Neutral Color Palette: One of the best ways to create a cozy and comfortable bedroom is to choose a neutral color palette. Soft colors such as beige, cream, and soft greys create a relaxing and calming environment that will help you to unwind after a long day. We personally love to add black as an accent color to create depth and a bit of edge. You can add pops of color with accessories such as pillows, throws, and artwork.
Just remember, these are just suggestions. Make your room feel like YOU! If all blue everything is your jam and calming for you, then your bedroom should reflect that!

Tip #3: Layer your bedding! Layering is a great way to add depth and interest to your bedroom while also creating a super comfy place to hang out and lay your head at night. You can layer your sleeping pillows with several decorative pillows. We suggest the pillows be layered in this order: sleeping pillow, then European shams, then decorative shams in the size of your bed, and finally with smaller accent pillows. You can also layer your bedding! Invest in good sheets, a high-quality duvet, and possibly a blanket cover at the foot of your bed.
The Novara Project
Tip #4: Add a rug! Adding a rug to your bedroom is a great way to create a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. A soft and plush rug will feel great underfoot and add warmth to your space. Look for a rug that complements your color palette and adds a touch of texture to your room.

Tip #5: Incorporate Mood Lighting! Soft lighting such as bedside lamps or beautiful wall sconces can create a relaxing and calming environment that will help you to unwind. These will also elevate the design aspect of your room. Dimmer switches are a great way to adjust the lighting to your preference.
