Ensure your bedroom has clear walkways and a good flow without furniture, decor or decor clogging windows or hallways.
Colours are a big part of bedroom design. Use colours that are cool and calming to get the best results.
Kavanaugh also observes an uptick in a move toward hotel-like designs in the home — four-poster beds, for example, or upholstered headboards.
Minimalist Chic
Minimalist decor demands that accent items be chosen wisely. Rugs, throw blankets, furniture made from various fabrics — they all do a critical role in making a bedroom cozy and interesting without looking stuffy.
All minimalism has to have is neutral color schemes. Palette pinks or blues for accents, taupe, olive green and terra cotta for natural touches without crowding out the space with dramatic hues.
Minimalist bedrooms have the room for some statement pieces that can make the bedroom stand out, while staying true to minimalism. Black frames in a photograph from Kara Mann’s minimalist bedroom.
Matching Patterns
From geometric wallpaper to big stripes on sheets to boho throw blankets and boho prints, pattern mashups can make any bedroom design stand out visually and personality-wise. When you have different scales of pattern, pair them up in ways that make sense of each other – the chevron paint chip design in this Kelly Wearstler bedroom set fits both zig-zags from the woven blanket and the fabric lamp shades and rug!
: With wood-toned bedroom furniture sets such as these old dressers and nightstands, use different colours as long as the shades go hand in hand with one another. Hence it is a great idea to carry wall-color samples with you when shopping for furniture, so that you know how each piece will look as part of the design.
One Wall
It doesn’t matter what your style, there is nothing wrong with a one feature wall in your bedroom to inject some style. Just pick your favourite colour and go hog wild with murals, wallpaper or paint-and-stencil of any kind – the easiest way will be to cover just the wall behind your bed’s headboard (the path that the eye takes) but you can also go for partial accent walls, wallpaper a corner or opt for two-tone effects.
If you don’t like painting, frame your favourite art prints and photos instead. Make sure you pick frames with the same finish or theme – such as this room by Jessie Ruane – so your look is consistent. Also, throw on informal wool rugs for some more class in every room you design!
Texture
Blend in fabric and other materials to create some dimension and warmth in your bedroom décor. Combine super smooth velvet with ultra-soft boucle and natural linen; throw on your bed a super soft tasselled wool throw at the end of the bed – you’ll fall in love with your texture bedroom.
Minimalist bedroom decor includes straight lines and simple furnishings, while still including wood furnishings, woven rugs and linen drapes. With a simple color scheme and wood furniture, woven rugs and linen curtains included in your design, texture will really be the star of your room!
It can be used in a dark paint color and dark decor in a moody bedroom that can still be offset by using blue throw and green pillows. A geometric area rug will give the space visual interest and texture can be created with some rattan furniture or baskets and trays.
Storage
Do not litter your bedroom with imaginative bedroom storage designs that make the most of the space, such as custom shelves or modular units. Loft beds bring in the challenges of taking up all the available space to sleep on; to take full advantage of that potential space saving.
Use a bed with hidden storage at the headboard to store books, alarm clocks and art pieces in this bedroom decor design — great for a kids or teens bedroom!
Keep lightly used clothes and other linens under your bed in roll-up or canvas bins that roll if you have to access them. This will help you get quickly to what’s in it if you need it.
Make the most of your closet space with custom drawers for clothes and accessories. These storage solutions make a great replacement for nightstands, and they are available in several sizes to fit different types of clothes; they are also a great space-saving solution for shoe storage and children’s toys!
