Small bedroom design can be tricky — you only have so much space to work with, so your bedroom styling choices have to count!
In my case, I’ve been yearning to make my apartment bedroom more stylish and more like ME for what seems like an eternity. Honestly, even though I have a ton of bedroom styling ideas, I’ve struggled with creating a cozy bedroom for myself that feels like my own personal retreat.

So if you’ve been dreaming of cozying up in a stylish, relaxing, vibey oasis of a bedroom every night and you need some bedroom decorating ideas in order to get there, watch the video!
The Vision
The vision I have for my bedroom is a dark, moody, kind of vintage-y retreat—which I know is utterly shocking and not at all predictable coming from me. 🙃
