10 Natural Bedroom Ideas

I’ve recently been working on my bedroom, which is quite a big project as it needed a complete overhaul. I’ve been trying to think of ways to make my room as natural and peaceful as possible.

I love the idea of a natural bedroom. A room that is a calm oasis, free from technology and a place where I can read, write and meditate.

I’ve been searching for natural bedroom ideas and I’ve come up with a few things that I think would really make a difference to my bedroom.

If you’re looking for the same kind of thing, here are some natural bedroom ideas to inspire you.

1. Incorporate Natural Light

We’ve all heard about how important it is to get enough natural light in your bedroom, but it’s worth repeating.

Not only does natural light make a space feel bigger, but it also has a positive impact on your mood and sleep cycle.

If you can, place your bed near a window and opt for sheer curtains that will let in as much light as possible. If you don’t have access to a lot of natural light, consider adding a skylight or two to your space.

2. Use Natural Colors

The most obvious way to create a natural feel in your bedroom is by using natural colors. This can be done in a variety of ways and doesn’t necessarily have to mean just sticking to white.

You can create a soft, neutral color palette by using colors found in nature, such as soft greens, blues, and grays. Or, stick to a white color palette and layer in lots of different textures and patterns to keep things interesting.

3. Bring in Natural Materials

The bed is the obvious focal point in a bedroom, so layering it with inviting textures is a great way to bring those natural elements into your design.

Start with a large headboard, then layer in soft bedding, and add a throw blanket. If you have hardwood floors, try layering in a rug to add even more texture and warmth to the room.

Natural materials to consider include:

• • Wood
• • Linen
• • Cotton
• • Wool
• • Rattan
• • Seagrass
• • Jute
• • Leather
• • Stone
• • Marble

Mixing and matching these materials will help you create a more dynamic and layered look.

4. Add a Plant or Two

You knew it was coming, and we had to include it: adding a plant to your bedroom is the easiest way to bring in a natural element.

So many houseplants actually thrive in the conditions found in a bedroom, so you have plenty of options.

Plants don’t just bring a touch of color and texture, they also help to purify the air, too.

And if you are not a green-fingered goddess, faux plants can have the same effect.

5. Choose a Great View

If you are lucky enough to have a bedroom with a view, make the most of it. Position your bed so that it looks out of the window, and if you can, position the rest of your furniture to face the view too.

You can then add some houseplants to bring in some extra greenery and give the space more of a natural feel.

If your view is of a garden, even better, as you can then create a connection between the inside and outside spaces.

6. Use Organic Bedding

The average person spends about 26 years of their life sleeping. With that in mind, it’s important to make sure your bedding is as healthy as possible.

Organic bedding is made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or bamboo, and is free from harmful chemicals and dyes.

This means that you won’t be exposed to any toxins while you sleep, and you’ll wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Organic bedding is also better for the environment, as it is made with sustainable materials and is biodegradable. So, if you’re looking to create a natural bedroom, be sure to invest in some organic bedding.

7. Keep Electronics to a Minimum

The bedroom is a place where we should be able to unwind and relax. But if you have a TV, laptop, or tablet in your bedroom, you might find yourself checking emails and watching TV shows instead of getting some much-needed rest.

Try to keep electronics to a minimum in your bedroom. If you need an alarm clock, consider getting an old-fashioned one that doesn’t have a screen.

If you like to listen to music or podcasts while you get ready for bed, you can use your phone for that, but be sure to put it on airplane mode.

If you have a TV in your bedroom, try to keep it hidden behind a cabinet or in an armoire. This way, you can close the doors and not have to look at it when it’s not in use.

8. Create a Relaxing Space

It’s a classic for a reason: the bedroom should be a place of relaxation.

And if you are going for a natural look, then the bedroom is the space to really indulge in those calming, neutral colors.

Match your wall color to your curtains, your bed linen and even the furniture for a cocooning effect.

Want to add a pop of color? Choose a soft, muted shade like the sage green used here.

9. Add a Pop of Color if You Need To

If you are loving the idea of a neutral bedroom but are worried it might look a little, well, boring, then the answer is to add a pop of color.

This can be done in lots of different ways, but we have chosen to add in a bright, bold cushion. Not only does it add a pop of color, but it brings in a touch of pattern too.

10. Don’t Forget the Windows

Don’t forget to let in some natural light. Not only can it increase your mood, but it also helps to reset your body’s internal clock for a good night’s sleep.

As the sun sets, your body releases melatonin, a hormone that helps you sleep. In the morning, the light helps you wake up.

If you want to block out the light for better sleep or add privacy, try layering your window treatments. In this bedroom, a woven shade is layered with sheer white curtains.
