No matter whether your bedroom interior design style leans toward traditional or more contemporary aesthetics, following some key ideas will ensure a successful experience. Consider mixing textures and patterns harmoniously so as not to overwhelm the space.
Small rooms require minimalist solutions; keep wall art simple and implement functional storage solutions like built-in shelving for optimal effectiveness. Don’t be afraid to play around with color!
Colors
No matter if it’s rustic country bedroom decor you crave or soothing white sanctuary, color schemes are essential components of achieving your ideal space. Choose a palette that reflects both your mood and style before adding accent pieces that match its hues.
Soft blue hues evoke calm and relaxation, especially when combined with crisp white accents. Pale greens also help create an ambient vibe, while orange is known to trigger sexual desire and passion.
Decorating with monochromatic colors for an elegant look requires taking advantage of tonal shades that can easily change with the seasons and create a refined, contemporary aesthetic. Kara Mann of Connecticut made this bedroom stand out with its streamlined bed frame and window treatments that frame their windows for added elegance and tranquility. Plus, adding unique decor pieces like vintage laundry rack and candelabra gives this refined space coziness while at the same time add visual texture with its tufted upholstered bench seat and pattern bedding!
Furniture
Simple furniture solutions tend to work best in bedrooms. If a total bedroom redo isn’t on the horizon, consider switching out bedside tables for slim shelves with decorative brackets or wire magazine racks and stack books on top for an attractive nightstand, adding an eye-catching lamp as the finishing touch.
If your room boasts beautiful windows, make the most of their stunning views with proper window treatment ideas. Light-catching fabrics like lace, net or light linen work well for this.
Bedrooms used as dressing rooms often benefit from having a built-in wardrobe; however, if space is limited a custom-made clothes rail may make an attractive alternative when painted to match walls and ceiling.
Lighting
Bedrooms can be challenging spaces to furnish successfully; knowing exactly how much furniture to have can be challenging. Furniture size also has a direct effect on how a room feels; too many pieces in a small space will only serve to diminish it further; keeping bedroom pieces proportionate with other parts of the room can help it appear larger.
Lighting can play an essential part in creating the ideal bedroom space – not only does it set the atmosphere and add style, but it can also become the focus of attention in your room. Look for low hanging lamps such as this stunning design from Original BTC that provide warm illumination alongside your bed while remaining stylishly elegant.
Showcase walls remain popular in bedrooms, and interior designers are taking full advantage of maximalism with bold murals and ornate wallpaper designs to achieve a luxurious effect. To maintain an upscale appearance with this trend, duvet covers or scatter cushions should replicate its patterns to achieve an inconspicuous and cohesive appearance.
Accessories
Even when decorating with neutral bedroom ideas and minimalist furniture, adding accessories can bring the room together. For example, decorative pillows and throws should complement both your paint color as well as any fabric used in an upholstered headboard or curtains.
If your room features a feature wall, use it as the centerpiece of your bedroom interior design. Christy of The Christy Blog suggests matching its pattern to duvet covers or bed linen in order to achieve an integrated look.
If your bedroom features windows, consider incorporating window seats to add extra living space. From simple benches to dressing up shelves with some gorgeous coffee table books or flowers – blogger Emma from Style Your Nest for Less did just this in her bedroom. Repurposing old wooden crates may also provide storage solutions; check out Style Your Nest for Less for inspiration on that front!
