Serena Spring always feels like a time of new beginnings, doesn’t it?
For me, spring has always been a time to shake off the heaviness of winter and make a fresh start.
It’s the perfect time to give your bedroom a little makeover—nothing too major, but just enough to make it feel fresh and full of life.
This spring, I wanted to create a bedroom that felt as fresh and vibrant as the season itself.
I didn’t want a full renovation.
But just a few small changes that could transform the space into a place.
If you’re feeling that same pull to refresh your own space, I’ve put together 15 ideas that will breathe new life into your bedroom—no major overhaul required.
Ready to spring into a space that feels as renewed as you do?
Let’s dive in!
Repurpose an Old Ladder Into a Shelf or Hanging Storage
This was honestly one of the easiest and coolest things I did for my bedroom this spring.
I had this old wooden ladder sitting in my closet collecting dust, and one day I thought,
“Why not use it?”
I leaned it against the wall and used it to hang scarves, bags, and even a small plant. It adds this relaxed, rustic vibe to the room, and I love how it keeps my stuff organized yet still feels stylish.
Create a Floral Canopy Above Your Bed
Okay, hear me out.
You know that feeling of waking up under a tree or a garden full of flowers?
I wanted that feeling every day, so I decided to create a floral canopy above my bed.
I used sheer white fabric, some fake flowers (you can find them at any craft store), and a few hooks.
When I first hung it up, I wasn’t sure how it would turn out—but let me tell you, it’s now one of my favorite parts of the room.
Add a Vintage Vanity for Some Old-School Glam
I’ve always loved the idea of a vintage vanity, and spring seemed like the perfect time to add one.
I didn’t buy a fancy one—just a simple repurposed console table with a round mirror.
I added a little vase of fresh flowers, my favorite books, and some jewelry. It’s such a cute little corner, it’s now like a little spring retreat.
Hang Floating Planters Above Your Bed
This one might seem a little unconventional, but trust me, it works.
I decided to hang a few small planters above my bed.
It’s an easy way to bring a piece of the outdoors inside, without taking up any floor space.
Bring in Soft, Linen Bedding
One of the first things I did to prepare my bedroom for spring was swap out my heavy, dark blankets for light linen bedding.
I love how pastel blues, soft whites, and even a touch of mustard yellow create such a calm, welcoming vibe.
DIY a Botanical Wall Mural
I wanted to bring in more nature, but in a creative way.
So, I decided to go all out and paint a botanical mural on one wall of my bedroom.
I went with soft green vines and leaves that run along the edge of the wall, just above the baseboard.
If you’re not into painting, you can always opt for peel-and-stick wallpaper—there are so many beautiful botanical designs available that give the same effect.
Turn a Vintage Suitcase Into a Bedside Table
One of my favorite things in my room now is my vintage suitcase that I turned into a bedside table.
I’ve always loved the travel-inspired look, and this suitcase is perfect for storing things like extra bedding or books, while still being functional.
Add a Rattan Headboard for a Soft, Boho Vibe
A rattan headboard was one of the best decisions I made for the spring.
It’s soft, lightweight, and has that boho vibe that I just adore.
It fits perfectly in my bedroom, giving it a natural, airy feel. Rattan is also super versatile, so it works with pretty much any color palette or decor style, making it an easy and stylish spring upgrade.
Use Woven Baskets for Stylish Storage
I’ll admit—I’m a sucker for storage solutions that look pretty, too.
I started using woven baskets to organize extra blankets, shoes, and small items like hats and scarves.
You can place them by the door, under your bed, or even use them as side tables for an eclectic look.
Create a Cozy Window Seat for Those Spring Mornings
There’s something about having a cozy spot by the window that just screams spring.
I created a small window seat with a thick cushion, a few throw pillows, and some blankets. It’s the perfect spot to sit with a cup of coffee or enjoy the view outside.
If you have the space, I highly recommend doing this.
It’s a spot you’ll love coming back to.
Hang String Lights for That Soft, Magical Glow
This is such a simple but beautiful touch.
I draped string lights around my bedframe, and now my room feels like it’s glowing.
The soft light makes everything feel cozy and romantic, especially as the sun sets. It’s like my own little fairy-tale nook, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Introduce Soft, Warm Earth Tones
I love the idea of incorporating earthy tones into the bedroom for a natural, grounding feeling.
These tones bring a cozy, welcoming vibe, and they pair perfectly with the greenery you’re bringing in from plants.
I swapped out a few pillows, rugs, and throws to add those pops of color, and it’s amazing how much warmer and cozier the room feels.
Create a DIY Headboard with Reclaimed Wood
For a unique touch, I used some reclaimed wood to create my own headboard.
The natural texture of the wood really adds a rustic, earthy vibe to the room.
If you’re not into DIY, you can always find reclaimed wood furniture pieces or headboards at thrift stores or antique shops.
Hang a Soft Fabric Canopy for a Dreamy Effect
A fabric canopy above the bed makes it feel like you’re sleeping in a soft, dreamy cocoon.
I used sheer, airy fabric and draped it over my bed’s frame.
It’s super easy to do—just a little fabric, some hooks, and you’ve got yourself a whole new vibe.
Add a Pop of Color with Bold Throw Pillows
Lastly, I switched up my pillows for bold, colorful ones.
I mixed rich hues like deep emerald green, burnt orange, and warm coral to add a playful touch to the space.
It’s an easy way to inject some life and energy into the room without needing a full overhaul.
Turn this Spring Into your Comfort and Style
As I sit here now, looking at my freshly refreshed bedroom, I can’t help but feel a sense of calm and joy.
It’s amazing how small changes—whether it’s a pop of color, the soft glow of string lights, or the simple beauty of a potted plant—can completely transform a space.
It’s not about having the most expensive decor or the trendiest pieces.
It’s about creating a space that feels good to you, that makes you feel grounded and inspired.
As the season changes, I encourage you to take some time to make your bedroom feel like the perfect retreat.
You deserve a space that feels like a fresh start—just like spring itself.
So, go ahead and experiment with these ideas, have fun with it, and let your bedroom become a reflection of the beauty and energy that spring brings.
Here’s to creating a space that makes you feel more alive and at home than ever before.
