While other parts of the house may still be strewed with holiday chaos, your bedroom can (and should) be a sanctuary for reflection. A place where you can think about everything that’s happened in the past decade, and everything you want from the next one.
If it’s not that kind of space, well then—it’s time to treat yourself to a little makeover magic before the ball drops for 2020! For inspiration, we went shopping (like we do every week) on the internet’s biggest home decor showroom, Instagram, scrolling through hundreds of posts to uncover the designs that’ll inspire your new year.
Not only are we offering a peek at what’s trending with the tastemakers, but we’ve got leads on the items you can buy to get the look yourself. So go ahead—bring that 2020 energy home already!
1. Spirit animal wall prints
This looks sooo cozy 
What do you think?

Ready to harness your inner beast and take on the new year? Then you might just want one of these gorgeous animal prints featured by @marzena.marideko.
“Indulge your inner wildness and enjoy a small-scale print that goes with anything,” says Leslie Saul, designer and owner of Leslie Saul & Associates. “Creating a space that is calm and meditative, relatively monochromatic might make a space that encourages that spirit animal to come forward! If the space feels too monochromatic, add in a few wild animal print pillows, too.”

2. Meditative candle vases
Even if you don’t plan on doing the whole “new year, new you” thing, it never hurts to have some Zen vibes flowing in your direction. That’s why we just love the chill that’s happening in this room featured by @fridlaa—especially when it comes to those extra-tall candles.
“A taller candle vase creates a warm and inviting ambiance, allowing the light of the flame to glow softly,” says Misty Molloy, founder and lead designer for The CoCreative Home. “With a push toward self-care and meditation, candles add to our environment, bringing a sense of calm and tranquility and helping us unwind, focus, and turn inward.”

3. Handmade mandala throw rug

Happy Friday everyone, make it a good one
Mandala designs seem to crop up everywhere these days, but never have they been quite so impressive as in a woven rug like this one (featured by @frankieandgrae).
“Staying in the spiritual design mode, the mandala rug builds on this natural palette trend of creating meditative spaces,” says Saul. “A bedroom is a great place to feel calm, thoughtful, and relaxed.”

4. Wide-open windows
No matter how cozy your heavy winter curtains make you feel, sometimes it just makes sense to toss them aside. Letting in more light will not only make your space feel larger (like we see in this post from @_forthehome), but it will also help your crazy-short winter days feel a little longer and brighter.
“Windows make any space better,” says Saul. “Allowing the bed to be in front of the windows makes the room feel light, sophisticated, and perfect for reading in bed. Don’t forget to buy some bolster pillows to go behind your bed pillows to keep from falling out!”
Get the look: Move your bed closer to the windows, and ditch those heavy drapes for something sheer, like these classic voile curtains from Pottery Barn.
5. All the (mud cloth) pillows

Speaking of pillows, no one expects you to become the best version of yourself without an uber-comfy bed. And what makes a bed better than having all the pillows? If you’ve seen this post from @bethsbookshelf, then you know the answer is nothing. African mud cloth, which is a traditional fabric dyed with fermented mud and plant dyes, reigns supreme here.
“Make a bold and easy update to your bedroom by simply refreshing your throw pillows,” says Sara Ford, founder and designer of Sara Ford Design. “Mud cloth pillows are showing up everywhere these days, so why not mix and match these different patterns for a whole new look? Perhaps you’ll be globally inspired by these patterns and make a resolution to travel more this year!”
Get the look: Upgrade your pillow situation with a set of mud cloth pillow covers from Etsy.
