The weather is cold, the days are short, and all signs indicate it’s a perfect time to be focusing on improving the coziest spot in your home: your bedroom. It’s one of the best times of year to declutter and do all that you can to make your room feel like the haven you’ve always dreamed of.

This week’s trending Instagram looks feature five irresistibly dark and moody motifs that can each be had for less than $200. In fact, many of these designs show something you can re-create by yourself at home—with nothing more than a little crafty prowess and a weekend afternoon.

Read on for five stylish bedroom inspiration photos worth bookmarking, as well as expert advice on how to get the look.

1. Off-black painted walls

The best way to bring that moody, cozy aesthetic into your bedroom is to paint your walls in an off-black hue like the bedroom seen in a post from @houseliftdesign.

“This trend has been gaining popularity in recent years, and for a good reason,” says design editor Chloe Hughes, of Foter Magazine. “Off-black walls offer a sophisticated and elegant look that can add depth and drama to a room. They’re an excellent option for those who want to create a cozy and intimate atmosphere but are hesitant to go for full-on black paint.”

Get the look: Set the mood in your bedroom with a couple of coats of dark-color paint like Moments by Magnolia Home.

2. Botanical-inspired chandelier

A botanical-inspired accent, like this chandelier from @cozywonderspots, looks fresh in a bedroom filled with otherwise dark and heavy decor.

“This trend is all about bringing the outdoors in, and it’s a great way to add a touch of nature to any space,” says Hughes. “Whether a delicate, vinelike chandelier or one made of woven branches, these light fixtures can add a unique and organic touch to any room.”

3. Medieval tapestry

Swapping out your wall art is a great way to freshen up your bedroom decor. We love the idea of filling an entire wall with a medieval-inspired tapestry like the one seen in this post from @maison.cotidiano.

“Medieval-inspired tapestries are also having a moment in the design world,” says Hughes. “These tapestries, which often feature rich colors and complex patterns, can add a sense of history and elegance to a room. They can also be used to add warmth and texture.”

4. Ornate fabric headboard

If over-the-top floral luxe is your thing, then you might just like the ornate fabric headboard seen here from @michaelaiduss.

“A bed is the perfect place to mix and match both color and pattern, and by going with a patterned headboard, you can then work with more neutral bedding to balance it all out,” says designer Devin Shaffer, of Decorilla.

5. Chunky handmade throw

You can never have too many blankets this time of year, and this chunky handmade throw from @ouredwardshome is doing double duty with a rustic style that’s as comfy as it looks.

“These throws are often made with thick, textured yarns, and are perfect for adding a cozy and rustic feel to a room,” says Hughes. “They’re an excellent option for those who want to add a DIY touch to their space, as they can easily be made at home.”
