The Complete Bedroom Essentials Guide for Guys

Your bedroom should be your sanctuary. However, most men probably don’t give their bedroom a second thought. You want to be able to enter your bedroom and feel relaxed and be able to get a good night’s rest. 

If your bedroom looks less than desirable and has things like laundry in baskets or on the floor instead of in a dresser, a mattress on the floor instead of a bedframe, and sheets that could probably walk themselves to the washer, you’re in the right place. 

Read on for some bedroom essentials for guys to upgrade your space. 

A Real Bed Frame

No more throwing your mattress and box springs on the floor. It’s time to invest in a real bed frame with a headboard. A real frame and headboard aren’t that pricy and you can get decent mattresses for a reasonable price too. 

If you’re not in college anymore, it’s time to elevate your bed. 

Decent Bedding

While we’re on the topic of a grown-up bed, take the time to pick out some matching bedding and nice sheets. You don’t have to spend a ton of money to get a matching bedding set that can elevate your whole room. 

Don’t forget to wash your sheets often as well. Ideally, they should be changed every week. Your sheets accumulate dead skin, body oil, sweat, dirt, pet hair, etc. If you can’t commit to washing them weekly, you can stretch it to every two weeks, but that’s the absolute longest you should go. 

An Attractive Alarm Clock 

The clunky, black clock radios of your youth have been replaced by sleek alarm clocks that look like art pieces. Invest in a nice alarm clock that works with your room decor so you don’t have to rely on your phone alarm anymore. This way, you never have to worry about forgetting to plug in your phone, resulting in a dead phone and no alarm. 

A Bedside Lamp

Overhead bedroom lights are often bright and unflattering. If you want to lay in bed and read or watch TV, a bedside lamp on your nightstand can provide softer light, which is especially important to help you wind down before you go to sleep.

Artwork, Pictures, or Other Decor 

Give your room some personality that makes it look like a human being actually lives there. Artwork, family photos, and other touches that fit your personality can help make your room inviting. Ditch the band posters from college and opt for framed artwork and pictures in frames.
