The Christmas tree is back up in the loft, chocolates have long since been eaten, and presents are put away in their places. It can all only mean one thing...
2025 is behind us, and it's time to welcome the new year with open arms.
For many of us, there's no better time to reinvent ourselves than the start of a new year, and if you’ve been scouring Pinterest for the latest bedroom ideas, 2026 should be the year you bring your visions to life.
Our TV Bed experts share their top tips and favourite bedroom trends to help you create your dream sleep sanctuary, and how one of our TV beds can help you achieve the ultimate cosy vibe.
Have a good declutter and deep clean
The first steps to creating a relaxing sleep space are having a good declutter and deep clean of your bedroom. It’s not just general advice, but scientifically backed: a study from the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin found that higher levels of clutter in homes meant higher levels of the stress hormone, cortisol, compared to those with clearer spaces.
Starting with a clear space sets you up for success, so get rid of anything – from clothes and accessories, to trinkets, books, and other items – that no longer serves you. Create keep, sell, donate, and toss piles to make this process easier.
Once you've sorted through everything and found a place for items you're keeping, you can get to work cleaning.
Leave no inch untouched – scrub from ceiling to skirting and make sure to give your floor a good hoover or sweep and mop to ensure everywhere is fresh for the months ahead.
The end result? A space that helps with healthy sleeping habits thanks to the restful energy post-cleaning brings.
Upgrade bedding and lighting
Investing in new bedding and upgrading your lighting are two of the quickest, yet most effective, ways to achieve a fresh look in 2026.
One of the biggest trends last year, which looks set to stay this year, was mismatched bedding. It may sound unorthodox, especially in a world full of ultra-modern, minimalist design choices, but it presents the perfect opportunity to add depth, character, and a sense of comfort to your bedroom without the need for major, expensive renovations.
Complete the change with soft furnishings, like throw blankets and cushions, and you’ll find yourself all the more comfy!
Rechargeable lighting is another thing that's gained immense popularity this year, for its portability, flexibility, and energy efficiency – offering cordless convenience not just in the bedroom, but everywhere around the home.
Create a feature wall
There are many different things you can do to create a feature wall, and by far the easiest – but by no means least impactful – is to go for a fresh coat of paint, in a contrasting colour.
If the entirety of your space is painted a basic, neutral colour, like white or beige, opting for an earthy colour, like olive green, taupe, or an earthy brown shade behind your bed will instantly create the cosy vibe your space needs.
You can also incorporate mirrors to reflect natural light and make your space feel larger, or create a gallery wall of your favourite photos of family, friends, and pets for more of a sentimental touch.
Invest in a new bed
If you're looking for a way to treat yourself in the new year, what better way to do it than with a brand new bed?
One option that combines comfort and technology is a TV bed that houses a television in the foot of the frame. This can be raised at the press of a button when you want to watch your favourite shows, play video games, or listen to music videos, and lowered just as easily when it's time to hit the hay!
A TV Bed, we stock a selection of sizes, colours, and styles – including surround sound TV beds and gaming TV beds – that are the perfect addition to any bedroom!
Not only do TV beds help modernise your bedroom, though, but they're also the ideal choice for multi-functional spaces, too. The perfect blend of entertainment, storage, and space efficiency, a TV bed is sure to transform your room into a versatile haven for relaxation, work, and leisure, without adding clutter.
Upcycle outdated furniture
If you've got old furniture lying around that's still in good condition and too good to part with, you can get creative with a little upcycling project.
Whether it's a chest of drawers, bedside tables, a wardrobe, or a dressing table, don't underestimate the power of adding a fresh lick of paint or varnish and replacing the knobs/handles.
It’s the perfect way to achieve a whole new look on a budget, and is guaranteed to make your space feel fresh for 2026!
