Another must-have for a nicely curated room is the bedding! Its colour, texture, and size play a huge role.
In K-dramas and YouTube videos, we can get a good feel of the person's character just by looking at the colour scheme of the room. Therefore, cozy bedding that reflects your personality is essential in decorating your space!
