Interior Designer Shares How to Make Childhood Bedroom Look Better

Dark colors and layers are important elements for upgrading my bedding.

To balance out the light, neutral base of the room, Horton recommended accenting the space with dark colors like deep green, purple, or blue.

“Make sure the bedding incorporates layers and accent pillows to avoid the room feeling flat,” she said. On a queen bed, this means having two Euro sham pillows against the headboard.

She also pointed to elongated lumbar pillows, especially “options that incorporate a touch of your bedding, but a unique pattern.”
