When decorating a simple bedroom, the main principles to keep in mind are simplicity, functionality and aesthetics.
Simple decorations don't have to be overwhelming, in fact, with a minimalist approach, the room will feel more organized, comfortable, and pleasant.
Choosing the right decorations can give a refreshing impression without having to fill the room with a lot of stuff.
It's also important to utilize space efficiently. Bedrooms often have limited space, especially if you live in an apartment or boarding house.
Choosing decorations that don't take up much space, such as wall shelves or mirrors, can give you more freedom to move around and make your room feel more comfortable.
