15 Bedroom Design Ideas

Looking for bedroom design ideas? Your bedroom is a place that should resemble your personal style and that makes you feel comfortable and happy, right?

Sometimes it can be hard to find bedroom ideas that do not only fit with the rest of your home but your personality as well.

In this article, we will give you some tips to help you find the best decoration for your bedroom.

1. Create a soothing retreat

If you’re in need of a bedroom refresh, think of your room as a blank canvas. What colors make you feel relaxed? What patterns do you love? What furniture pieces do you need?

If you’re not sure where to start, think about how you want your bedroom to feel. Do you want it to be a cozy, intimate space? Do you want it to feel light and airy? Do you want it to feel like a retreat?

This bedroom by Emily Henderson Design is the perfect example of a soothing retreat.

The blue and white color palette is serene and calming, and the patterns and textures add interest to the space.

The modern, clean-lined furniture pieces keep the room from feeling too traditional, and the gold accents add a touch of warmth.

2. Add a touch of romance

If you want to create a romantic atmosphere in your bedroom, consider using a color palette of soft pinks and grays. This bedroom designed by Arent & Pyke is a great example of how to do it right.

The soft, feminine color scheme is balanced by the use of more modern furniture and lighting. And the use of pattern and texture in the bedding, rug, and window treatments adds a sense of coziness to the space.

3. Choose a color scheme

It’s no secret that color can have a big impact on how we feel in a room. And in a space where relaxation is the aim, it’s crucial to get the color scheme right.

If you’re struggling to choose a color scheme, a good place to start is with a neutral base. This will create a calming backdrop and give you the freedom to add in pops of color where you want to.

You could also choose a more traditional bedroom color scheme, like blue and white, or go for a calming, monochromatic look with different shades of the same color.

4. Use a patterned wallpaper for a feature wall

If you are a little hesitant about using pattern in your bedroom, a feature wall is a good place to start. You can add just a subtle hint of pattern or go bold and embrace a really vibrant print.

We love the combination of the soft, subtle wallpaper in this bedroom, paired with the more dramatic, dark blue.

The clever layering of the two patterns creates a lovely focal point in the room and the dark blue really makes the soft pink pop.

5. Add a splash of color

Colorful bedrooms are one of the top trends of the year, and with good reason. They are a great way to add personality and depth to a space, and you can choose just how bold you want to go.

You could keep the walls a calming, soft color and then bring in brighter shades in the bed linen and accessories.

Or, if you like the idea of a more vibrant space, choose a bold color to be the main focus and decorate the rest of the room in complementary colors.

6. Use a large mirror to create the illusion of space

When you are working with a small bedroom, it’s important to think about how you can make the space feel bigger, and one of the simplest ways to do this is to add mirrors.

Not only are they a practical addition, but they will also reflect light around the room, making it feel bigger and brighter.

You could go for a large mirror that sits against the wall, or choose a mirrored wardrobe or chest of drawers.

7. Create a cozy reading nook

We all need a little space to escape from the world. If you love to read, design a reading nook in your bedroom. All you need is a comfy chair, a table, a lamp, and a bookshelf.

If you have a large bedroom, you can create a separate reading nook. If your bedroom is on the smaller side, you can still create a cozy reading nook by placing a chair and a small table next to your bed.

8. Get creative with your headboard

If you want to make a statement in your bedroom, a headboard is a great place to start. It’s a focal point in any bedroom, so it’s a great place to get creative.

You could go for something bold and colorful, like the one in this bedroom, or even create a feature wall behind your bed.

You could also use a gallery wall as a makeshift headboard, or even drape fabric from the ceiling to create a canopy effect. The possibilities are endless!

9. Add a pop of color with your bedding

If you have a mostly neutral bedroom and want to add a pop of color, consider using your bedding to do so.

The best thing about using your bedding to add color is that you can easily change it out with the seasons or when you feel like you need a change.

If you’re feeling really bold, you can even mix and match different colors and patterns to create a fun, eclectic look.

10. Use a color scheme in varying shades

Using a color scheme in your bedroom is a great way to create a cohesive look. You can use this color scheme on the walls, with your bedding, in the art you choose, and even in the furniture.

In this bedroom, the color scheme is a soft, dusty blue. The walls, bedding, and furniture all use the same color family, but in different shades. This creates depth and interest in the room without using a lot of color.

11. Add a touch of luxury

A bedroom is a place where you can really go to town with the luxury, and it doesn’t have to cost a fortune. It’s all about layering up the soft furnishings and adding in textures and patterns.

In this bedroom, the headboard is the focal point, with the velvet fabric adding a touch of opulence, which is then balanced with the more simple bed linen.

The mix of patterns in the cushions and the throw add a softness to the room and the large rug adds an extra layer of comfort underfoot.

12. Create a bedroom with a view

If you are lucky enough to have a bedroom with a view, then make the most of it! Position your bed so that it’s the focal point of the room and frame the view with your furniture.

If you are designing a bedroom from scratch, then consider the layout of your space and where you would like the bed to be. Bedrooms with a view can be designed in a way that makes the most of the natural light and the view outside.

13. Add a touch of glamour

We are seeing a trend in bedroom design for more glamorous, luxe looks. You can keep the overall color scheme simple, but then add in those more opulent touches to take the space to the next level.

A great way to do this is with gold. Gold details look stunning against dark colors and are a great way to add a touch of glamour to the room. You can easily add gold by picking out a statement light or a bed with gold features.

14. Create a bedroom with a sitting area

If you have the space, consider creating a bedroom with a sitting area. This bedroom design idea is perfect if you want to create a cozy space to relax and unwind. It’s also a great option if you’re not sure how to fill a large bedroom.

In this bedroom, a sofa is positioned at the end of the bed to create a separate seating area. A small coffee table and a pair of floor lamps complete the look, creating a relaxing space that’s perfect for reading or watching TV.

15. Use pendant lighting

Pendant lighting is a great way to add a sense of occasion to your bedroom. Not only does it look pretty, but it’s also a practical option for a bedroom as it frees up space on bedside tables and adds a lovely, soft glow.

You can hang pendants over bedside tables, or if you have the space, have them in the middle of the room to create a statement lighting idea. Pair with a dimmer switch so you can adjust the light to suit your mood.
