Over the past year, my Instagram timeline has slowly transitioned from a montage of street-style photos to lust-worthy bedroom makeover images. It’s not that I’m following different people; it’s more about the shift in their interests. Once it was all about showing off what’s in their closets. Now what’s in their homes is just as important. 

It only makes sense, especially since we’ve all spent more time at home than ever recently. It’s where most of us eat, sleep, work, and play. So why wouldn’t you want to make it your own little haven? 

Instead of always lusting after those beautiful bedroom inspiration photos, we’ve set out to find a way to make those dreamy bedrooms a reality. Whether you’re a maximalist who can’t get enough of Missoni’s fun prints or a minimalist who lives for Brooklinen’s white cashmere sheets, ahead you’ll find six inspiration photos from the Vogue archives along with a few items to help transform your own bedroom into a photo-worthy space.

It doesn’t matter if you live in a castle in Tuscany or a humble abode in Brooklyn, here you’ll find more ways to jump-start your bedroom makeover.
