I only changed a handful of things in my master bedroom bedding refresh, but the results and impact are huge!
I truly feel like your master bedroom should be a place of “retreat” and somewhere you want to escape to at the end of the day! (Or the middle of the day for a nap every now and then haha). I’ve always loved ours, but was ready to change a few things!
Easy Budget-Friendly Master Bedroom Bedding Refresh
Give your bedroom a fresh look! Simple tips for a master bedroom bedding refresh with easy layering, cozy textures, and southern style.
If you’re feeling like your master bedroom needs a little extra something lately, you’re in the right spot. I just gave my bedroom a bedding refresh, and I can’t wait to show you how easy it is to cozy things up without breaking the bank.
Sometimes all it takes is a new bedding combo—think soft layers, different textures, and a few pretty pillows—to make your bedroom feel like a whole new space. Whether you love neutral tones or want to add a little pop of color, I’ve got plenty of inspiration for you.
1. Started with Fresh Sheets
Nothing beats crawling into crisp, clean sheets. I love a classic white, but don’t be afraid to try subtle patterns or gentle colors for a little something extra.
2. Added a Neutral Quilt
Layering is key! I picked a neutral quilt as my base. It’s perfect for all seasons—cool enough for summer, easy to layer up for winter.
3. Layered on a Cozy Duvet
A plush duvet or comforter adds that fluffy, hotel-like feel. Choose something that feels good to you (and is easy to wash!).
4. Mixed Up the Pillows
Bring on the pillows! I like to start with two big euro shams in the back, then add my sleeping pillows, and finish with decorative pillows in different shapes, textures, and patterns. Mix and match to your heart’s content!
5. Tossed on a Throw Blanket
A throw blanket at the end of the bed adds instant coziness and is perfect for chilly mornings or afternoon naps.
Bedding Refresh Tips for Your Own Bedroom
- Try a new color palette: Neutrals are always classic, but blues, blushes, or even deep greens are super on-trend.
- Mix textures: Combine cotton, linen, velvet, or chunky knits for a custom look.
- Keep it comfy: Choose bedding that feels good to YOU. That’s what matters most.
- Switch out pillow covers: Easiest update ever and so affordable! (You know I have some you’ll love.)
- Don’t forget the little things: Even updating your nightstand decor or adding a cozy candle can make a difference.
My Master Bedroom Bedding Refresh
I’ll start by saying there was nothing WRONG with my current bedding. I actually love it a ton! Here’s the BEFORE!
But, I’ve had a cream quilt in there for years and was just ready for something a little different for Spring/Summer. Enter a shopping trip to target…
When I saw this sage green quilt at Target a couple weeks ago, I knew I loved it but I ended up walking away. When I couldn’t stop thinking about it for 2 weeks straight I knew it was a SIGN to go back!
It of course started a little domino effect so I could get the look I wanted in there. I got 3 big euros from there, 2 standard shams and a little vase with flowers.
Then I headed to Homegoods where I got some accent pillows and a throw! I LOVE this blue color mixed with the sage green.
When I say I’m in LOVE…I mean it! It brightened it up and just brought new life to the space!
It’s no secret I love pillows, and for a bed I love to LAYER them! So for my King bed, I’ve got 3 26×26 Euro’s in the back, 2 standard shams, 2 square pillows from Homegoods, then the little one was from Target dollar spot.
The little pillow on the bench I’ve actually had for years and the choose joy one is a pillow cover that you can find in my shop here. It went PERFECTLY with everything else!
You don’t see this side of my room too often (because it’s honestly usually piled with JUNK), but since I cleaned I thought I would share a picture of this angle too. The 2 furniture pieces are ones that I painted years ago.
I love to decorate and this brought me so much joy this weekend. In case you don’t know, I have an E-book called How to decorate your home with confidence. So, if decorating is something that doesn’t bring you joy…let me help you!
All in all, this master bedroom bedding refresh cost me under $300. I say that to say that you do NOT have to go buy expensive high end bedding to make an impact. Some places you would spend $300 on just the comforter or quilt alone! I saved money by shopping places like Target and Homegoods (and using things I already had) and I love the end result!
What do you think? Is there something you could do to your master bedroom to give it a little refresh? Remember…small changes can make a big impact!
(Disclaimer: The lighting in these pictures makes the quilt look a little more blue than it truly is. It’s a light sage/seafoam green color in real life. lol)
Until next time…

I have gotten into the sage Green color this year. I didn’t plan on it but, I started seeing decor pieces, a throw and some throw pillows with Sage color theme and before I knew it I had it in my color scheme. I just Love It ❤️
yay! it’s so pretty!
I love what you did to your bedroom! It looks fresh and bright!
I love to decorate, too! I had my husband build me shelves in my laundry room, just to store all my bedding in! I change it out for every holiday AND every season!
oh that’s great! And thanks!
I love the way you decorated your bedroom. I ordered me light teal quilt and pillows to match. Thank you for the inspiration. You did an awesome job.
You have inspired me once again! I absolutely love the blue color scheme. I would have never thought to use it with a sage color.
Love your style!
Wow!! Your bedroom looks so comfy and beautiful. If you don’t mind, I might dupe it as nearly as possible. Ok?? My husband even agrees with me for a change!! Thanks Stacey for your wonderful ideas!
It looks great! I love how the blues and greens look together!!
You have such a knack for decorating girl and right up my alley. I think a Target run for that bedspread is in order!!! Looks just amazing and cozy!!!
LOOKS FABULOUS!!!! May I ask where you got the bench at the end of the bed?
Thanks SO much!

Yes, Yes, Yes! You are so talented Stacey! Love the updated look! Thanks for the inspiration and the joy of spring!
I love you headboard!! Is you mattress on a box spring? I have 18” of clearance under by bed. So I’m looking for an upholstered headboard and close to that about of clearance. I’m tall so I’m not interested in the platform beds that is currently popular. Thanks !
I love the bench at the end of your bed and have been looking for one like it. Do you know where that’s from?

I’m on a man hunt for the throw pillows! What is the brand?! Hoping a google search will lead me to them!!!
