Clear Out the Clutter

If you’re reading this, you’re probably wondering how to make a luxurious bedroom.

Considered removing things that aren’t loved, sentimental, or necessary. In other words, simplicity is vital.

The Little Things

Sometimes the most minimal changes will have the most significant impact on your room. For example, a great, yet small, way to create some class in your room would be adding a tray on your nightstand or dresser. Just a tray? Yes, a tray at the top of your dresser is inexpensive yet elegant. Use a tray to hold random items like jewelry, perfume bottles, collectibles, and other trinkets. Just like that, your room is a tad more upscale.

Lighten Things Up
