Here are some décor ideas and practical tips for designing your bedroom — especially if you plan to get furniture from ARV Furniture in Mississauga. I tailored them to match the kinds of furniture and style guidance ARV offers.
🎯 Decorating Principles & Style Ideas
Pick a consistent theme or vibe. ARV recommends choosing a style like modern, contemporary, or classic — then sticking with it across bedding, furniture, and décor. Neutral colors (beige, grey, pastel blue) work especially well to keep things calm and stylish.
Use texture + layers to add depth. Combine soft throws, velvet or linen cushions, rugs, and bedding to make the space feel cozy and rich. This avoids a flat “just white walls + wood bed” look.
Create a focal point — make the bed the star. A bed with an upholstered or tufted headboard, LED headboard lights, or interesting silhouette becomes the centerpiece of the room. Especially useful if the rest of the room is minimalist.
Keep décor minimal, but thoughtful. Avoid clutter. Use a few curated accessories — a piece of wall art, a houseplant, a mirror, a lamp — instead of crowding surfaces. This creates a clean, relaxed atmosphere.
🛏️ What to Consider When Buying from ARV Furniture
Since you’re looking at ARV Furniture, here’s how you can make the most of what they offer:
Storage beds are smart for space-saving. If your bedroom is compact or you want to reduce visible clutter, a platform or storage bed with drawers (or lift-top storage) is ideal. ARV carries such beds.
Match bed size to your actual room size. Don’t oversize — pick queen/king only if your room dimensions permit comfortable movement. ARV themselves advise measuring your space first.
Consider full bedroom sets vs. mixing pieces. Their sets — bed + dresser + mirror + nightstands — ensure design cohesion and help avoid mismatched furniture.
Think about functionality + comfort: padded headboards, dressers with drawers, nightstands, good-quality mattress support — all matter for long-term usability
🖼️ Specific Design & Décor Add-ons to Try
Accent wall or art above bed. Paint one wall a different color or add wallpaper / large art to create a focal point without overwhelming the room.
Mirrors to expand space. Especially helpful if the room is small — mirrors reflect light and make the room feel larger and more open.
Warm, layered lighting. Combine overhead light with bedside lamps (or LED headboard lights if your bed supports it) to get cozy, relaxing vibes.
Add greenery or natural elements. A few plants or some natural wood décor add freshness and a calm, earthy feel.
Mix soft textures — rugs, throws, cushions. This enhances comfort and warmth; especially useful in colder months or in minimalist-style rooms.
🧰 Tips for Planning Before Visiting ARV
Before you go to ARV’s showroom at 5925 Tomken Road in Mississauga — or browse their catalog — it’s helpful to:
Measure your bedroom space (floor dims, door clearance, closet & walking paths) so you know what bed size and furniture will fit.
Make a list of what you really need — bed only, or full bedroom set (bed + dresser + nightstand + mirror, etc.).
Pick a style direction first (e.g. modern minimalist, cozy contemporary, neutral pastel, etc.) so all your chosen pieces match in mood and tone.
Think about storage needs & daily use — if you have limited storage space, go for storage beds, dressers with drawers, nightstands with drawers or USB/wireless charging (some sets at ARV include that).
