ou put a lot of care into curating your bedroom, but these 
days, it may look more like a gym or an office than your 
sleep sanctuary. In fact, Stanford News points to several 
nationwide surveys, which found that more than half of Americans 
now working from home are doing so from their bedrooms.
To help reclaim your bedroom, Joy Cho and Corey Damen 
Jenkins, interior design experts who work with Stearns & Foster, 
have identified the following design tips and trends to inspire your 
bedroom design.

RELAX WITH COLOR
For a fun and easy weekend project, Cho recommends adding a 
fresh coat of paint to give new life to your bedroom space. Consider 
painting an accent wall behind your bed, choosing a color that ties 
into other areas of the room using accessories, throw pillows or art.
Often, people assume they need to start from scratch and then 
feel overwhelmed while making their bedroom seem more inviting 
and cozy. Instead, Cho encourages thinking about color like layers 
— adding pops of a varying shade in small areas or using easily 
changeable items. Start with a limited color palette and utilize pat-
terns to add depth to your space.
“The proper color palette is essential for creating the best sleep-
ing sanctuary,
” states Corey Damen Jenkins, interior designer at 
Corey Damen Jenkins & Associates. in Birmingham. “Certain color 
combinations may seem amazing in theory, but in application, dis-
rupt sleeping patterns. It’s important to know what works for you.
”

MAKE IT PERSONAL
Decorate using objects with stories to tell, such as family heirlooms 
and items picked up from travel. “Pieces that are collected and well-
worn add meaning and therefore end up looking much more inten-
tional and thoughtful,
” affirms Cho.
As for nightstands, Damen Jenkins says there are countless 
options to match your personal style and he encourages people to 
“think beyond the box,
” especially in smaller spaces, as unusual 
alternatives such as a martini table can sometimes fit a space better 
than a traditional nightstand.
