3-Step Bedroom Upgrade

February 16, 2016

It's crazy to me to realize that Josh and I have been living in our apartment now for almost three years! Time has flown and we have truly come to make it feel like home. We're still a few years away from owning a house. Originally that made it difficult for us to decide what to spend money on in our apartment, since we knew it wasn't ours forever. We finally feel like we've achieved a balance where we're spending on some things we know we'll really enjoy now or that we'll want to keep in our future house as well, and then saving on the rest. We've been applying this process throughout our house and are slowly but surely making our way throughout all our rooms. We've recently tackled our bedroom and I'm excited to share our progress with you. We're not interior designers, and this room is by no means finished, but we're figuring out our style together and having a lot of fun in the process. 3 Step Bedroom Upgrade Her Heartland Soul

Headboard c/o

1. Get a headboard

Wow, Josh and I have never had a headboard before and it makes SUCH a difference!! Now that we have one, I'd describe a headboard as the wrapping paper on a present. It doesn't really serve a purpose, but it ties the whole room together. I'd argue that if you can only make one change to your bedroom, a new headboard will have the biggest visual impact. Our new headboard is from DEQOR. I love how beautiful it is, the fact that it's well-made, and is also super affordable! 3 Step Bedroom Upgrade Her Heartland Soul

Bedskirt

2. Add a bedskirt

I do not know how some people do not use bedskirts. They add a finished element to your bedding set and hide whatever random assortment of stuff you're storing under your bed! I recommend getting one that is opaque and just skims the floor. While bedskirts run the gamut in price points, I prefer to get a cheaper bedskirt and invest the money I save into other bedroom pieces. Our bedskirt is less than $25. 3 Step Bedroom Upgrade Her Heartland Soul

3. Invest in quality bedding and linens

You sleep on your bed every night. I believe the sheets, the pillows, the blankets, and the bed should be comfortable and conducive to good sleep. While quality bedding and linens don't necessarily look a whole lot different when upgrading your bedroom, they will definitely upgrade how you feel in your bedroom. DEQOR recently sent me these beautiful sheets and I love how they add a fun pop of color to the room. Can you tell I'm obsessed with teal? I want to sleep on fabrics that are smooth and won't itch, scratch, or irritate my skin. These sheets are made of 100% organic cotton sateen and feel fabulous! I've also been in the market for new pillows. The cheap, crappy ones I've been using have been leading to me using my penguin stuffed animal as a pillow. (No joke.) I figured this probably explained the sore neck I've been waking up with some mornings and I began my search for good quality pillows that would support my neck and back throughout the night. Let me tell you guys, memory foam pillows are where it's at! I can notice such a difference in how my head rests on the pillow, how the pillow feels, and how I wake up in the morning. It's incredible! 3 Step Bedroom Upgrade Her Heartland Soul

And there you have it, my three quick and easy tips for a bedroom upgrade! This post was not sponsored, but I did receive some items from DEQOR that are featured in my bedroom. If you've never heard of DEQOR before, you're not alone. I hadn't heard of them until they reached out to me via email! Now that I've thoroughly explored their website and worked with them I can say I'm a huge fan! In a nutshell, DEQOR is a new online retailer with a fresh approach for helping people shop for home furnishings. Their customer service and concierge team is made up of interior designers that are available to help you with design advice and product questions while you upgrade your own room. One of the things I love most about DEQOR is that their line is pretty extensive, with an assortment of products curated for quality and always well-priced. My next project to tackle in our bedroom is figuring out what to put above our bed. I currently have two paintings Josh and I painted at a couple's art and wine class from when we first moved to Omaha. While it brings back a sweet memory, my art skills are not the greatest and I think we can use the space better. I think that will be a perfect opportunity to reach out to DEQOR's designers and get some advice about what to do!
