Okay, so confession time.
Last year, I walked into my bedroom and literally felt nothing.
Like, it was just… there.
Beige walls, boring bedding, zero personality.
And I remember thinking, “How am I supposed to feel like a baddie when my room looks like a hotel lobby?”
So I started scrolling through Pinterest at midnight (as you do), and something clicked.
The baddie aesthetic isn’t just about following trends—it’s about creating a space that radiates confidence, and I realized my room needed to reflect the energy I wanted to embody.
Fast forward a few months, and my bedroom is now my favorite place on earth.
It’s bold, it’s cozy, it’s unapologetically me.
And honestly?
Walking into it every day genuinely makes me feel like I’m that girl.
So if you’re ready to transform your space into a baddie haven, these are my ideas that actually work.

Your walls are literally the first thing anyone sees when they walk in.
So why not make them unforgettable?
The moment someone walks into your baddie bedroom, their eyes should land on a wall that makes them say “wow.”
I’m obsessed with the idea of creating one accent wall that’s just pure drama.
Think peel-and-stick wallpaper in deep burgundy, or maybe a textured option like faux marble.
If you’re feeling creative (and I know you are), you could even do a custom mural or hang oversized art that speaks to you.
Removable wallpaper in rich colors like emerald green, deep burgundy, or midnight blue can transform your space without committing forever.
And honestly?
I love that flexibility.
When I did my accent wall last spring, I went with a geometric pattern in black and gold, and it completely changed the vibe of my room.
It went from blah to bold in like, two hours.
My tip: Start with the wall behind your bed—it’s the natural focal point and requires less wallpaper than you think.

Listen, your bed takes up the most space in your room.
So it better look incredible.
Your bed occupies the most visual real estate in your bedroom, so investing in high-quality bedding isn’t just about comfort—it’s a statement piece.
I’m talking silky satin sheets in jewel tones that catch the light just right.
And pillows—so many pillows in different textures and sizes.
Layer different materials like velvet, faux fur, and chunky knits to create dimension.
When I layered my bed with a faux fur throw over rose gold satin sheets, it instantly felt more expensive.
More me.
Mix patterns if you want—contrast is your best friend here.
The whole point is creating something that looks amazing in photos but feels even better to sleep in.
Because let’s be real, the ultimate baddie move?
Prioritizing your own comfort and rest.

Okay, so this one is non-negotiable.
Lighting literally makes or breaks the entire baddie vibe.
Install RGB LED strip lights along your ceiling edges, behind your headboard, or under your bed frame for that TikTok-worthy glow.
I installed mine behind my headboard and under my bed frame, and the soft glow at night?
Chef’s kiss.
You can change the colors based on your mood—pink when you’re feeling flirty, purple when you want something moody, blue when you need to chill.
It’s like having a whole new room with the click of a button.
Personal hack: Get the ones with a remote or app control so you don’t have to get out of bed to change the vibe.
Trust me on this.

Get the Book NowJewel Tones That Scream Luxury
If you want your room to feel expensive, you need to think rich colors.
Deep emeralds, luxurious sapphires, and regal rubies—these rich jewel tones are a staple of the baddie aesthetic, evoking a sense of opulence.
And I’m so here for it.
When I added deep purple velvet curtains to my room, it immediately felt more intimate and luxurious.
These colors create this cozy, sophisticated atmosphere that’s perfect for relaxing.
You can incorporate them through bedding, accent pillows, rugs, or even a statement chair.
The trick is not to be scared of boldness.
Too much richness?
Not a thing in the baddie world.
My variation: If deep jewel tones feel too dark for you, try mixing them with metallics like gold or rose gold to lighten things up while keeping that luxe feel.

🎯 Grab Your Copy Now!Mirrors Everywhere (Yes, Really)
A full-length mirror is an absolute must.
A mirror with lights is a must for outfit checks and selfies.
But beyond that practical reason, mirrors make your space feel bigger and reflect all that gorgeous lighting you just installed.
I have a full-length LED mirror leaning against my wall, and it’s honestly become the most-used thing in my room.
You can DIY one by adding LED strips around a plain mirror—it’s easier than you think.
And if you have the space, add smaller mirrors in cute frames on your walls or vanity area.
They catch the light and add this glam factor that’s so baddie.
My tip: Position your mirror across from a window or light source to maximize natural light and make your room feel more spacious.
A Vanity That’s Pure Glam
If there’s one piece of furniture every baddie bedroom needs, it’s a vanity.
If there’s a furniture item that should be featured in every baddie bedroom, that item is a vanity mirror.
This is your space to get ready, to feel yourself, to channel that confidence.
I set mine up with a Hollywood-style mirror (the ones with the bulbs around it), and it makes me feel like I’m backstage before a show every single morning.
Keep your makeup, jewelry, and beauty products displayed—it’s part of the aesthetic.
There’s no better way to let your materialistic side shine.
Add a cute chair or stool, maybe in velvet or with a faux fur seat cover.
Make it a spot where you actually want to spend time.

Get the Book NowTextures That Beg to Be Touched
Texture is what takes a room from looking good to feeling amazing.
Play with textures to add depth to your space.
A faux fur throw or a velvet cushion can elevate your room instantly.
I’m obsessed with mixing materials—velvet pillows next to satin sheets, a chunky knit throw over a faux fur rug.
It creates this visual interest that makes the whole room feel more expensive and intentional.
When you layer textures, you’re basically telling the room, “I know what I’m doing.”
And that confidence?
That’s the baddie energy we’re going for.
Don’t be afraid to mix and match until you find combinations that feel right to you.
Personal favorite combo: A velvet headboard, satin pillowcases, and a faux fur throw blanket.
It’s tactile heaven.
Bold Color Combos That Match Your Energy
Colors in a baddie bedroom aren’t random—they’re chosen to match your personality and energy.
In a baddie bedroom, colors aren’t just picked to look pretty, they’re chosen to match your energy.
These shades are bold, strong, and full of life.
Want something fierce and flashy?
Go for hot pink, black, and silver.
Prefer calm but still stylish?
Lavender, gray, and gold—it’s chill but still gives off boss energy.
I personally went with a combo of blush pink, white, and rose gold because I wanted soft but glam.
It’s girly without being too sweet, you know?
Think about the feeling you want when you walk into your room and choose your colors based on that vibe.
My advice: Pick 3-4 colors max and stick with them throughout the room for a cohesive look.
Wall Collages That Tell Your Story
This is where you get to be creative and personal.
Fill a wall with magazine clippings, trendy TikTok art, or printed selfies.
Use washi tape or clips for a raw, edgy feel.
I created a whole collage wall above my desk with photos of my friends, concert tickets, magazine cutouts, and motivational quotes.
It’s messy in the best way possible.
Every time I look at it, I’m reminded of good memories and things that inspire me.
That’s what makes it feel authentic and not just Pinterest-perfect.
You can switch things out whenever you want—that’s the beauty of using washi tape or clips instead of frames.
Pro tip: Print your favorite Instagram photos or screenshots from your camera roll.
It makes it feel so much more personal than random stock images.

Get the Book NowNeon Signs for That Extra Edge
Want to add some personality with literally zero effort?
Neon signs.
A really cool way to help create that baddie mood is to utilize neon and LEDs—and they’re customizable so you can switch up the color.
I have one that says “Bad Vibes Don’t Go With My Outfit” above my vanity, and it makes me smile every single time.
You can get custom ones made with your favorite quote, your name, or even just a fun shape like a heart or lightning bolt.
They add this edgy, confident energy that’s quintessentially baddie.
Plus, they double as a light source for those moody late-night vibes.
Budget option: LED light-up letter signs work just as well and are usually cheaper than custom neon.
Furniture That’s Sleek and Modern
Ditch the bulky, traditional wooden furniture.
The more modern (yet minimalistic the better) because the individualistic touches will shine through with the decor.
Think acrylic chairs, mirrored nightstands, or sleek white dressers with gold hardware.
When I swapped my old wooden dresser for a white one with rose gold handles, it immediately looked more cohesive with the rest of my baddie aesthetic.
The furniture should be a backdrop that lets your personality shine through the decor and accessories.
Keep it clean, keep it modern, keep it simple.
That way, all your textures, colors, and personal touches become the stars of the show.
Thrift hack: You can paint old furniture white or black and swap out the hardware for something more modern.
Instant upgrade.
