Whether you adopted a trend that no longer feels fresh or you're simply tired of the same old space, there comes a time in most interior design enthusiast's lives when a bedroom makeover is in order.

Fortunately, bloggers and designers are pros when it comes to this sort of thing, offering plenty of inspiration for your next update. To get you started, we're highlighting the best bedroom makeovers we've seen lately and they're nothing short of stunning.

Before

This bedroom was pretty bland, with almost no décor or personality. The bones, however, are promising: Lots of windows and hardwood floors point toward good things to come.

After

Talk about impact. This bedroom from The Design Daredevil started off as a humdrum space and became a daring, glamorous showstopper. Painting your walls black makes a big style statement, while an animal-print rug adds a glam-factor. We love the candles in the fireplace—it helps add a soft glow to the room and brighten it up.

Before

This bedroom lacks color, texture, and visual interest. The open bookshelves are unkempt, and the clutter in the corner makes the room feel chaotic.

After

The power of wallpaper is undeniable. Here, designer Emily Henderson used a textured cream-and-gold pattern to upgrade drab walls while still maintaining a neutral and sophisticated color palette. The moss green and coral hues give the space an upbeat feel with a hint of retro flair.

Before

This bedroom feels devoid of personality and life. Simplicity can be awesome and make a major impact, but not if the result is lifeless. Needless to say, this room was calling for a dramatic makeover.

After

This renter-friendly primary bedroom makeover only includes elements that blogger Joanna Goddard could take with her on her next move. With the room kept white, the impact here comes from personality-packed pieces, like the tufted headboard and patterned pillows.

Before

Walls in bold shades of burgundy, cobalt, and mustard can be pretty hard to work with, especially for a Scandinavian design aficionado.

After

Take one room in varying shades of mismatched jewel tones, add a fresh coat of white paint, and voilà: You have a clean slate for your Scandinavian dream bedroom. We love the cool gray color palette the blogger behind Avenue Lifestyle used, which is warmed up with natural wood accents.

Teetering piles of clothing and papers are never chic. Meanwhile, bare walls make the room seem forgotten and the dark paint makes it feel lifeless and drab.

After

This under-$500 makeover by Southern Revivals proves just how powerful a new paint job and a thorough decluttering can be. Simple styling with a few pops of color transformed this room from drab to striking.
