8 Steps to Designing Your Dream Bedroom

Some people might get tripped up on this step, especially with so many prepackaged bedroom sets available on the market. And while your personal style may lean on the more matchy-matchy side, Shelly encourages you to mix it up! She says, "Don't be afraid to mismatch pieces, wood species, or colors and finishes."

Carrie, too, agrees: "I advise people not to buy matching bedroom sets. Instead, mix materials and styles to create a more interesting and textured room."

So while you may be a bit hesitant, don't let that stop you from getting creative with it and really making this special space your own.
