10 bedroom makeover ideas for spring 2024

Sure, you can add a fresh coat of paint to brighten up a room, but it's easier to replace your bed's duvet cover or curtains, or add a few colorful throw pillows on your bed. And for adding new artwork, that's easy when you hang Samsung's Frame TV on your bedroom wall. 

Colorful new duvet cover: The Citizenry stonewashed linen duvet cover

Available in a dozen colors and two pattern options, these stonewashed linen duvet covers make it easy to transform the look for your bed, while giving yourself a cozy comforter that can be used year-round. 

The linen duvet cover from the Citizenry is breathable, yet warm. It's garment-washed to provide it with an airy and soft feel, while giving it an elegant look that can be coordinated with the company's bed linen bundles. This duvet cover is made from 100% French flax and is woven by a family-run linen mill in Portugal. It's Oeko-Tex certified and made sustainably in a fair-trade working environment.

Choose between a full/queen or king/California king duvet cover size. Two matching pillow shams are included. If you don't yet have a down alternative duvet insert, the Citizenry has you covered with that as well.

Upgraded bedsheets: Brooklinen organic cotton hardcore sheet bundle

A fresh set of organic cotton sheets and pillow cases may be just what you need to transform the look of your bedroom, while giving yourself a soft and more comfortable way to surround yourself in luxurious comfort while you sleep.

This 300 thread-count sheet bundle comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, duvet cover and two pillow cases. Choose between eight color options, including several that are absolutely perfect for giving your bedroom a spring makeover, like white, blue marina, vanilla, morning mauve or warm clay. 

Brooklinen offers this bundle in four sizes -- full, queen, king or California king. All are made with 100%, long-staple organic cotton that's certified to ensure the manufacturing process meets environmentally and socially responsible standards. Featuring a percale weave, these sheets are garment-washed for added softness and a relaxed look. In fact, they're designed to get softer with each wash.

Decorative pillow covers: West Elm bold center mixed stripe pillow cover

Sure, pillows can keep your head and shoulders supported and cradled in comfort while you sleep, but they can also add a touch of color to your bed. 

We absolutely love these striped pillow covers from West Elm. They're available in three color combinations, which are perfect for mixing and matching to give your bedroom a personalized look. 

Each handwoven pillow cover is a 20-inch square and made from wool, jute, viscose and linen. One side features a textured pattern, while the opposite side is solid. They have a zipper closure and are made in India.

Decorative pillow inserts are sold separately ($18.50 each) and feature a 100% cotton shell and 230 threat count with a 100% feather fill that's hypoallergenic and machine washable.

Display fresh art and upgrade your TV: Samsung's 65" Frame

For people who enjoy watching TV in bed, we recommend Samsung's Frame TV. The 4K picture quality is top-notch. And the integrated speakers can nicely fill a room with clear sound. This TV is designed to be hung on a wall. It's surrounded by what looks like a picture frame, so it adds to the decor of a room.

Plus, instead of displaying a black rectangle when nobody is watching TV, the Frame displays your choice of more than 2,000 famous works of art. Or the Frame can showcase your favorite digital images in an animated slideshow format.

Unlike most TVs, this one features a matte finish, which virtually eliminates glare. The works of art wind up looking like real paintings when viewed from more than a few inches away. And don't worry about the Frame keeping you up at night. It can easily be programmed to turn itself off anytime nobody is in the room. 

To help you perfectly match your Frame smart TV with your bedroom's existing decor and color scheme, a variety of frame designs and colors are available. The frames use magnets to attach to the TV and are very easy to change. For an average size bedroom, a 65-inch TV is typically ideal, although "The Frame" is also available in smaller and larger sizes (between 32-inches and 85-inches).

For more information about this smart TV and how it can change the decor of a room with the touch of a button or voice command, be sure to reach our full, in-depth review of the Frame, or for more advice on choosing a smart TV, read our coverage of the six best TVs for 2024.

An accent chair for a favorite corner: West Elm Viv swivel chair

You'd be surprised how simply adding an accent chair to your bedroom -- with or without a complementary side table -- can transform the appearance of an entire room. At the same time, it'll provide a comfortable place to sit and relax.

We love the timeless look of West Elm's Viv swivel chair. It's not too big, yet provides a comfortable sitting space and swivels 360 degrees. What's great about this chair is that it's available in your choice of several dozen colors. You can also choose between a flat weave or velvet fabric upholstory.

The Viv's frame is made from durable and long-lasting kiln-dried pine. It uses high-resiliency polyurethane foam for extra comfort. When ordering your chair, you can even choose its firmness. Overall dimensions are 29.5 x 31 x 29.5 inches, with a seat depth of 23.5 inches, seat height of 19 inches and a seat width of 21.5 inches.

A more comfortable (and elegant) sleep: Beautyrest Hungarian white goose down comforter

If you're looking for a soft, easy-to-care for, all-season goose down comforter, we think you'll love this option from Beautyrest. It comes in twin, queen or king size. You can easily cover it with your choice of duvet covers to give it a personalized look.

The comforter itself is made from 100% U.S.-grown cotton and has a 500 thread count. It's both soft and breathable, thanks to its baffle box design. This comforter is filled with Hungarian white goose down with 750 fill power to keep you warm in the winter, but comfortable during the rest of the seasons.

To accompany this down comforter, we highly recommend the Beautyrest Harmony Lux pillows ($219). These plush, king-size pillows are made using responsibly sourced feather-down that simultaneously cradles and supports your head for maximum comfort.

This Beautyrest Hungarian white goose down comforter is one of our top picks in our coverage of the best gifts for husbands.

Better sleep, prettier windows: West Elm European flax linen blackout curtain

In a bedroom, you want curtains that look light and airy by day, but can block out all light at night so you can sleep soundly. That's exactly what these European flax linen blackout curtains offer. 

They're available in your choice of 10 colors and come in six size options. The panels can be purchased individually or in pairs. Each panel offers a dual top treatment, so you can decide how they'll be hung, and a sew- in blackout liner to block unwanted light.

These curtains not only look elegant, but they're easy to install and can quickly change the look of an entire room. Each panel is made from 100% European flax, with a blackout liner that's white and made from 100% polyester. You can use your own curtain rods or choose from many rod designs offered by West Elm that you can install yourself.

Make your room look bigger: Balsulto rectangle LED wall mirror

To add a modern appearance to your bedroom and the functionality of a full-length mirror that lights up, check out this Balsulto rectangular LED wall mirror that's available from Wayfair. 

The mirror can be hung vertically or horizontally. It measures 65 x 22 inches (which is large enough to serve as a full-body mirror). One feature we love: You can adjust the temperature and brightness of the LED light strip that's built around the mirror's frame. 

On the surface of the mirror are easily accessible touch controls that allow you to choose between 10%, 50% or 100% brightness and between a white light or yellow light. Meanwhile, on the back of the mirror, you'll find a hook hold design for easy installation. The mirror can be hardwired into your home's electricity or plugged into an electrical outlet. 

Smarter ambient lighting: Philips Hue Iris smart table lamp

One of the easiest ways to transform a bedroom is to add color-changeable LED smart lighting. Philips offers a vast ecosystem of smart lighting options, including bulbs that can replace the traditional bulbs in your light fixtures. Use the Hue smartphone app or voice commands to change the color and brightness of each light individually or as a group.

Beyond just smart lightbulbs, we're fans of the Philips Hue Iris smart table lamp. Place one on each of your nightstands, or strategically place one or more in your bedroom to serve as a primary light source or to bounce colored lighting off a wall or ceiling.

To use any of the Philips Hue smart lights, you'll need a Hue Bridge (which is sold separately for $54). It also comes bundled with the Smart Light Starter Kit that includes three traditional-size light bulbs ($176). You only need one bridge to control all of the Hue smart lights.

Use the Hue smartphone app to create colored light designs for ambience and animated light sequences. Or set timers or schedules for the lights. The Iris displays more than 1 million colors, including multiple temperatures of white light. Its brightness can be adjusted between 0% and 100% using the mobile app, optional smart dimmers, or voice commands. 

Smart device controller and smart switch: Brilliant smart home control plug-in panel

For fans of smart home technology, this one device can serve as a hub and control it all -- smart TVs, lights, music, you name it -- from one location.

Put the Brilliant smart home control plug-in panel on any wall in your bedroom and then plug it into a standard electrical outlet. Pair it wirelessly with all of your home's compatible smart home gear. If you install this home control panel next to your bed, you can easily and wirelessly control any of your smart gear without needing access to your smartphone. 

For example, using Brilliant's smart home control panel, you can adjust the lighting in a single room or throughout your home, turn on and stream music, adjust the temperature, or activate your home's security system -- all without getting out of bed. 

This home control panel is compatible with Ring, Sonos, Philips Hue, Google Nest, Wemo, SmartThings, Apple Home Kit and any device that's controllable using Amazon Alexa. The panel itself has a five-inch, full-color, LED touchscreen along. It also has two touch-sensitive slider switches that can dim lights, control the volume of wireless speakers and more.
