Live the Dream: 7 Sneaky Ways to Make Your Bedroom Look Expensive

2Mmedia/iStock

Of all of your home’s spaces, the bedroom might just be the most sacred. It’s your sanctuary, your refuge, your retreat—and it should feel luxurious, even if you don’t have the cash to back it up.

The good news: Tricking out your bedroom space doesn’t have to break the bank. We’ve consulted with the nation’s best design experts to uncover their top-secret tricks for creating a plush-looking bedroom without draining your wallet. Heed these tips, and then sit back and relax in your new luxe space.

1. Remove things instead of adding them

Contemporary bedroom design

Sometimes making a room look high-end is more about what you eliminate than what you add, according to Holly Bogdan, an interior designer for bedding accessories company Malouf.

“You don’t have to fill your bedroom with things to make it look luxurious,” she says. “Incorporate a mix of textures and finishes. Contrast is always good.”

Decluttering is tough, we know; we’re probably not the only ones who hide all our junk in the bedroom, where only we have to see it. But one way you can keep clutter from cheapening your space is to choose storage pieces that pull double duty.

“Add hidden storage under your bed, or bring in a bench that opens to reveal a hiding place for knickknacks, use secretaries rather than desks, or bedside sconces instead of reading lamps,” says designer Carolyn Rebuffel of Workroom C. “Clutter makes your home feel less expensive, so make sure you have an easy way to keep everything clean and clear.”

2. Use mirrors

“Nothing says luxury like space,” Rebuffel says. And in that regard, mirrors are your best friend.

Now, we’ll admit: Feng shui experts say you should keep mirrors out of the bedroom, or at least away from where you sleep. We’ll let you make your own choice on whether to use them and how extensively they should play a role in your decor. But there’s no argument that mirrors can make a small space look bigger, and add a touch of luxury to an otherwise ordinary room.

Choose a beveled mirror for optimal upscale impact, says designer Sam Jernigan.

“An oversized mirror is a splurge that can visually anchor as well as expand a space,” Jernigan says. “Especially if your bedroom has 8-foot ceilings, leaning a 5-foot or taller floor mirror in a corner will add a strong vertical line as well, which is always helpful in a lower-ceilinged space.”

If you’re crafty, Jernigan recommends the following DIY hack: Buy a mirror cut to your specifications at a glass shop, and then purchase lengths of molding from a lumber or specialty store.

“Simple mitering with a handsaw, glue, and frame fasteners are all that’s needed,” she says. “And then finish in a rich stain, metallic, or embellish with some luxurious vintage lace.”

3. Layer your lighting

For a pulled-together, anchored space, choose a variety of lighting sources. Start with a large, attention-grabbing overhead fixture, which will “instantly make a bedroom or bathroom feel more expensive,” says San Francisco–based designer Ann Lowengart of Ann Lowengart Interiors. But don’t stop there: Add sconces, task or table lighting, and floor lamps throughout the room to create a soft, layered look.

4. Add brass accents

Hugh Jefferson Randolph Architects

Brass, that decor staple from the 1970s and ’80s, is back in a big way, according to Janet Ramin, who teaches the interior design course at the New York Institute of Art and Design. If you choose the right accents, this metallic look can give instant pizzazz to a space.

“Adding a few touches will give warmth, sparkle, and elegance to the room,” she says. Her favorite tricks? Add a gold-finish sunburst mirror over the bed, or source end tables or nightstands with visually interesting brass legs or bases.

5. Layer your bedding

Traditional bedroom design

Alexander White

Resist the urge to buy the “bed-in-a-box” matched set, and select your linens carefully, Bogdan says. Choose a mix of quality sheets, duvets, and quilts to make your bed look (and feel) plush, inviting, and opulent.

“A space that looks high-end has beloved things that have been acquired over time,” she says. “Invest in really good linens, like French linen sheets, with their casual elegance, or Egyptian cotton with a simple finish.”

Ramin recommends adding faux fur, silk pillows, or an embroidered coverlet for more texture. To complete the layered look, consider folding a fluffy comforter at the foot of the bed (laid over your regular duvet cover), says Lowengart.

And above all, don’t forget about the pillows—cheap, flat ones look, well, cheap and flat.

“Good pillows hold their loft,” Bogdan says. “They don’t just look better, they feel better when you sleep on them.”

6. Upgrade your headboard

Contemporary bedroom design

Jodie Rosen Design

If a new bed frame isn’t in your budget, consider springing for a new headboard instead. It’s one of those small things that will make a huge difference in the look and feel of your space.

“For most people, the bed is the focal point,” Bogdan says. “And you don’t have to have a huge sleigh bed or elaborate poster bed for the ‘wow’ factor. You can get an upholstered headboard for $300 that will transform a plain-Jane metal bed frame into a gorgeous, modern bed.”

7. Paint your ceiling

Contemporary bedroom design

Sroka Design, Inc.

Love a pop of color but afraid to fully commit? Rebuffel recommends painting your ceiling in a light-colored lacquer. “This will add depth to your room without overwhelming it,” she says.

Pros recommend painting the ceiling in a color at least one shade lighter than the walls and using high-gloss paint to reflect light.

Clients include; Vogue, i-D magazine, Twin magazine, Time magazine, Porter, GQ magazine, Culture Club, POP, Marc Jacobs, Dazed & Confused, Nike, Valentino and many, many more.

This agency is vastly different to the others I have researched, this agency covers many more categories within the creative industry and a large amount of artists, so it will be interesting to see how they represent themselves online due to the high amount of representations, meaning a large amount of viewers and clients.

CLM (UK) office are currently looking for a Producer to join their team, again, I examined the responsibilities so I have further insight into the roles of an agent / producer as well as understanding further what skills I need to have and what I should improve upon;

Responsibilities:

Assisting team on all production; organising travel arrangements, booking flights, hotels and cars etc

Liaising with artists directly or through their assistants to produce their shoots

Managing the artist’s diaries

Creating estimates, managing budgets, negotiating fees/rates with the help of agent

Producing budgets and jobs, keeping within the allocated budget

Billing, wrapping jobs after completion and signing off invoices

Managing the scheduling and booking of all talent (model, hair, make-up, etc) for shoots where required

Developing travel schedules and call sheets where required

Maintaining and updating of artist’s portfolios, websites, eBooks, iPad portfolios, agency book

Maintaining artists online and tear sheet archives

Managing the ins and outs of portfolios being sent to and from clients

Handling the monthly division meetings, creating agenda’s and ensuring that the minutes are shared internally and with the US office

Managing the divisions newsletter and ensuring that this meets the company’s standards

Requirements:

At least 2 years’ experience in the fashion/photographic industry, preferably within an agency environment

Must have excellent communication skills, pro-active and sense of responsibility

Must be extremely organised and able to manage personal time whilst working well under pressure and within tight deadlines

Existing relationships with production companies, peer agencies, model agencies, etc. is essential

Computer literate, including basic knowledge of Photoshop

Existing knowledge and interest in the fashion industry

Language skill added advantage

I already have some of the above skills, and with time, working as an intern and gaining work experience within an agency environment, I can gain these requirements which will enable me to become a producer / agent.

Website; http://www.clm-agency.com - the CLM homepage has a large brand of ‘CLM’ on the page, introducing and highlighting the brand strongly. The homepage illustrates the news for the represented artists, showing images, the photographers name and shoot (client). I find this interesting as the images are shown in both single and double format which gives variety to the images as well as a increased aesthetic, defining the creative company.

This is something to think about, whether to use a duo of images to create more of a variety as well as show design with compositional work - makes you focus on the details of the work. Having the news on the from page also gives the viewer an idea of what the artists are doing and who they are shooting, enticing them to explore the site and artists further. In regards to the menu, it is hidden under a circular button. The first menu title you see is the artist page, which when clicked on, the images that represent the artists are in a square format - again quite a structured format, however for my own preference, I prefer a more compositional design that feels more contemporary at this moment.

When clicking on the artist page, featured images appeared, followed by other categories laid out in a line, including; editorial, beauty, still life, landscape and personal work. Again, I feel as though I prefer a more juxtaposition layout as it creates more of a thought out, creative skill that represents the company. The information included in the photographers bio includes; their focus, their process, their vision, what practices they work in, clients and where they are based. Again, very similar to many other agencies which confirms further what myself and Sam should include within our site.

There is also a search bar where you can search both photographers and clients, which is helpful for the audience to find a certain person quickly, creating further easy navigation and access. CLM also have a newsletter which people can sign up for, which is useful for the audience as it gives the audience updates on the company as well as making the company interact easily with the audience, this is something myself and Sam should think about for the future, updating the audience on what is happening in the company. The contact page has the telephone number, and address of both locations of CLM, however there are no email addresses to contact. There is also no information about the company. As a viewer I want to be able to read about the company and what they stand for, and seeing this makes me realise that I want to include what myself and Sams company is and stands for. Another element I disliked about the website was that I was unable to find any social media links. I think that displaying your social media links is highly important as it gives the viewers something to interact with as well as being able to see more of your company and what the company is doing. For myself and Sam site, I want to display the social media on a page so that the viewers can access it and find out more about the company and who we are.

Twitter; CLM didn't have a Twitter page, which was unusual as this is the first agency I have researched that does not have a Twitter page. I want to use Twitter as this is a good platform to use to update the viewers on what the company is doing, what the artists are doing, it is a feed for news and promotion and is something that is valuable, and expands both the company and the audience following.

Instagram; - https://www.instagram.com/clmagency/ - The instagram is much like the other agency instagrams, the profile image is the text of the CLM logo, highlighting who they are. The instagram does not have a structure like some of the others in regards to triptychs etc, although it does have a curated approach, all images work well together and represent the bold and fashionable agency that it is. I think it is important in the social media to represent who you are as an agency, and to do this by curating and sequencing images carefully, of which CLM does in regards to their brand. This is something myself and Sam must think about, thinking carefully about how we curate our Instagram to represent our company and our values.

CLM has improved my knowledge within agencies, and have given me further insight into using online platforms to promote a company, and showed me what I do and do not like design wise, making me closer to understanding what I want to present for myself and Sams company website.
