Lai Bertodo's Cozy Green Bedroom: A Lesson in Comfort and Calm
"I wanted my place to look like my place”
A cozy room doesn’t happen by accident—it’s built through small, intentional choices. For Lai Bertodo, comfort starts with color, texture, and a touch of calm.
“Before, my room was giving hospital bedroom,” Lai admitted. “I wanted to make my space somewhere I’d look forward to coming home to.”
And so she did. With soft lighting, lush green tones, and thoughtful textures, her bedroom now radiates the warmth and serenity she always envisioned—a true reflection of comfort and personality.
The Design Journey / Vision Behind the Space
When Lai Bertodo first moved into her apartment, the bedroom lacked warmth. The white walls and minimal furniture made it feel sterile—far from the inviting, restful retreat she dreamt of.
Her solution was bold yet simple: paint one wall a deep, earthy green to instantly add depth and coziness. “I painted the room dark green because I wanted it to feel extra cozy,” she explained. “I ordered the green sheets to match and tie everything together, and now it just feels calm and grounding.”
So how did she do it?
With warm wood tones that add natural depth and a grounded feel.
Layered fabrics that bring softness and visual warmth to the space.
Golden lighting that casts a gentle glow, creating a peaceful, inviting atmosphere.

Bringing It All Together
For Lai, the goal was simple: to make her space feel unmistakably hers. “I wanted my place to look like my place,” she says—a vision that shaped every design choice.
While the dark green walls set the tone, it was the finishing details that completed the transformation. “The bedsheets definitely made a difference—silk smooth, and I love that they’re double-sided. The room looks completely different just by flipping the blanket.”

FAQs
How can I make my bedroom feel cozy without spending a lot?
You don’t need a full makeover to create a cozy vibe—focus on layering. Start with soft bedding, add a textured throw, and use warm-toned lighting instead of harsh overhead bulbs. Even small swaps—like matching pillowcases or a bedside lamp—can completely change the mood of your room.
What colors make a bedroom feel relaxing?
Earthy, muted tones are your best friends for calm energy—think sage green, beige, dusty blue, or warm taupe. These colors mimic nature and naturally lower visual “noise.” Pair them with natural textures like linen, wood, or rattan to make the space feel balanced and restful.
What’s the difference between cotton, silk, and TENCEL™ bedding?
Each fabric has its own charm. Cotton is breathable and durable, silk feels ultra-luxurious and smooth, while TENCEL™ offers the best of both worlds—it’s silky-cool, eco-friendly, and gentle on sensitive skin. That’s why we love using TENCEL™ in our Adeline Pastel Silky Cooling Sheets—it feels indulgent but stays kind to the planet <3
