These are the 11 hygge inspired amazingly cosy bedroom ideas, that are totally to *sleep* for!
Is there anything more appealing than relaxing in a cosy room? Your room is your place to relax and unwind at the day so making it as cosy as possible is a must. Having shared a small bedroom for the first *twenty-two* years of my life, I am used to making the most out of my space. Therefore, whether you have a small or big bedroom, there are loads of cosy bedroom ideas in here for you.
Let’s get cosy…
1 | CANDLES
Now this one is bit obvious, candles are a staple cosy piece. They add warmth and instantly make a room calm and cosy when lit. I love lighting my candles in the evening whilst I finish off some work or just have them on whilst reading… it really creates a nice, cosy mood. Recently, I have taken to having them on whilst working from home and its quite nice.
However, I am quite picky with my candles. I used to buy my candles from all over the place but I absolutely hate it when candles tunnel despite burning for 4hours + (Aldi candles are the worst at this!) I do still buy some from Primark as you can see in the picture because they burn quite quickly and I have them on for a while so no tunnelling occurs. The only candles I know which don’t tunnel are my Yankee Candles and I love them so much. These are the scents that will make your room nice and cosy:
If you would like cheaper scents, definitely check out Dunelm and Primark!
2 | Wax Melts
These are so gorgeous! If I know I’m not going to be burning my candle for long enough, I use my wax melt. My wax melt burner is from Poundland (definitely check them out if you are in the market for some cheap ones.) I like this burner but I don’t love it as there are way prettier ones elsewhere. The one below is one I am thinking of purchasing this payday as it will throw really pretty light patterns on the wall. These make your room smell lovely INSTANTLY, which is great. They also use tea-lights so I think you could get away with using them in halls or rentals.
3 | Wall Plug Ins!
If you are not allowed any sort of open flame in your bedrooms or you just do not like candles, definitely think about investing in a wall plug in. They come in so many scents, it’s just about picking the one that’s most appealing and calming to you. This way you are still achieving the cosy vibes.
4 | Chunky / Fleecey Throws
One way to instantly make your room more cosy is introducing throws and blankets to your bed or on a chair. These throws exude warmth and can be taken with you to the living room or be wrapped around you during your wfh days. I absolutely love wrapping myself up in my throw whilst watching netflix or reading during the middle of the day when it’s not acceptable to get back into bed.
5 | Pillows
The phrase I associate with pillows is: the more the merrier. Really, the more pillow you have the more cosy and inviting your room is. Look how amazingly cosy Lily’s bed looks!
I love purchasing my pillows from supermarkets and Primark!
The great thing about the cosy bedroom ideas I have mentioned so far is that the only space they require is on your bed and a little space on your desk/ windowsill.
6 | Art Prints
Having shared a room for most of my life, I was never able to put anything onto the walls because my sister had to like it, too and we are very different. Therefore, nothing went up on the walls. However, now, I am still stuck in that void where I have nothing on my walls. That is about to change, though. I have so many ideas where I want to put things up in my room and I KNOW it will make my room automatically more cosy.
I’m going to be printing out a bunch of prints from my Etsy shop (LazyPeachDesigns) so definitely check those out if you’re in the market for some prints.

7 | Warm lights
To add some cosy ambience, stick up some staple warm fairy lights around your space. A perfect solution to not have to put up any prints or photos and cover a blank wall is to get some fairy light wall lights. We had some of these in our university living room and they made everything immensely cosy and nice.
8 | Books!
I could not write a post about cosiness and miss out on some books. I don’t know what it is about books but they automatically make a space more cosy and personal. Having a book shelf or maybe even a small stack of books, or even one book on your nightstand will automatically make your room more cosy.
9 | Comfy dressing gown/ Robe on the door
I recently bought a ‘over the door hook’ system and I love it! I had one of these in all of my uni bedrooms but I only got one for my own bedroom this year. Hanging up some cosy robes and jumpers will add a personal and cosy feel to your space.
10| An aesthetic mug/ pot
A lovely mug/ plant pot (with a nice plant) will again add a cosy feel to your room and make it looked lovely a lived in. I love putting some pens/ bookmarks into my plant pots and mugs. You can even put your makeup brushes/ diffuser into it.
11 | An area rug
If you have wooden flooring, definitely invest in a rug that will make your room nice and cosy.
Be careful with the sizing of your rug; don’t buy too small or too big as it will look really weird.
