If there’s any room in your home that you want to make calm and relaxing, it’s your bedroom. But it can be tough with the harsh overhead lighting that can come with apartments. To create a more ambient and relaxing environment, you can use soft lighting like elevated string lights or table lamps with dimmers.

There’s nothing like jumping into bed on a pile of plush pillows. Plus, they can be just as functional and comfortable as they are decorative. Throw pillows, in particular, are a great way to add fun patterns and designs in a minimalist bedroom or create more color continuity in a more maximalist space.

A bed tray is another practical and decorative piece to add to your room. When you want to sip on tea or coffee, enjoy breakfast in bed, or need an extra surface to place any of your belongings on, a bed tray can be just what you need. And when you’re not using it, you can set it aside on your nightstand or dresser to put any smaller pieces of décor on display.

Creating a little nook in your bedroom can be a place to retreat to whether you want to read, meditate, or simply relax outside of your bed. Adding floor pillows or a comfortable chair to a corner or section of your bedroom can be the perfect designated chill spot.

In addition to candles, you can use an essential oil diffuser to fill your bedroom with your favorite scents. Essential oil diffusers can also double as humidifiers, which can be great for colder months when the air is drier.

Blackout curtains can make your space as dark as possible, making them ideal for bedrooms. No what time of the day it is, you can shut out light to take a mid-day nap or relax before bed. They’re especially helpful if you live in urban areas and are trying to block out city lights that might keep you up at night.

If your apartment bedroom has hardwood floors, adding an area rug can add more warmth and softness to the space. It can be more comfortable to stand on, especially first thing in the morning, and is a great way to play with personality by picking different colors, textures, and patterns. Plus, area rugs can help absorb sound and reduce noise, perfect for apartments.

Dark or cool-toned colors may be calming but can make a small apartment bedroom look even smaller. If you’re working with a limited amount of square footage, opt for lighter colors, specifically when it comes to your walls. Keeping your color scheme light in a small bedroom can make it feel bigger and airy.

Headboards are a great way to experiment with style and more personality to your bed. You can try upholstered headboards, like a soft velvet headboard or tufted headboard, or woven styles made with leather or seagrass for an even cozier look.

A color scheme using dark or cool-toned colors like blues and greens can create a calming effect in your bedroom. You can add dark colors with accent pieces like throw pillows, blankets, picture frames, and smaller pieces of decor. Or if you want to go all out (and your rental allows it), you can paint your walls your favorite deep shade.

Thrifted or vintage-inspired pieces can make a room look cozier by adding more character to your space with well-loved pieces. Not only is it sustainable to decorate with secondhand items, but curating your bedroom with thrifted finds can give your bedroom a unique, one-of-a-kind look.

As much as we love technology, it can be distracting and not all that great for getting a good night’s sleep when we use it too close to bedtime. You can use bedside tables with enough storage to stash away your phones, laptops, and other tech gear to keep them out of sight, out of mind as you wind down from the day. And if you have two bedside tables, you can add more storage (and symmetry) to your bedroom.

15 Stylish Ways to Design and Decorate Your Apartment
10 stylish tips for small spaces |

If you’re looking for apartment bedroom ideas, it might be because there are a couple of hurdles between you and your dream sleep space.
There can, of course, be considerable benefits to living in an apartment – you may be looking to maximize a spectacular view from a high-rise penthouse, or create a cozy spot to which you can quickly retreat from the surrounding big city.
But if you’re restricted by a rental agreement, have noisy neighbors, or are in need of some small bedroom ideas to make the most of a compact space, there are myriad stylish solutions that can help make the trickier elements of apartment living a little easier.
Apartment bedroom ideas
Here, you'll find plenty of clever bedroom organizers to inject style and personality into a rental property, we’ve brought together some stunning inspiration for your sleep space, and asked the experts to share their favorite apartment bedroom ideas.
1. Keep storage behind closed doors
(Image credit: Christine Retlev/Adam Macchia)
Small bedroom storage ideas are all about keeping the space clutter free. Closed and clever storage that makes the most of every nook and cranny will allow you to enjoy as much open space as possible, and allow artwork and design statements to command more visual attention than your bits and bobs.
‘We customized the closets for maximum storage’, says furniture expert Christine Retlev , who renovated her own apartment home in Manhattan.
‘One of my favorite pieces in the master bedroom is the floating side cabinet from Rose Uniacke. We have one on each side of the bed, and they have a shelf and hidden drawer so your books, eye glasses, and phone are not visible. Since we have a bed skirt, we also bought plastic containers to stash clothing under the bed.’
2. Express yourself through bedding – but keep it manageable

‘An easy and simple way to uplift your bedroom and make it your own personal sanctuary is by treating yourself to quality bed linen,’ say Jenna Choate and Mariana Ugarte, founders of Interior Fox .
‘When planning your soft furnishings, think about how much time you want to spend making the bed in the morning. If the answer is not too long, then you don’t need to overdo it on the scatter cushions. We recommend a less-is-more approach. A soft textured throw at the foot of the bed will introduce texture, whilst an edited selection of cushions in a contrasting pattern will finish the look effortlessly.’
‘We aren’t suggesting that you have hundreds of bedroom cushions – nobody wants the hassle of arranging lots every morning,’ adds John Smigielski, marketing director at Linwood , ‘but one or two beautiful scatter cushions can transform apartment bedroom ideas’
This is also a great strategy to consider for box room ideas – if you’re limited on wall space, add interest to a room through statement patterns on the bed.
3. Make the most of a view with mirrors

If you’re in a high-rise apartment with an impressive view, consider ways that you can enjoy it from more than one angle.
‘We love to enhance the view from an apartment bedroom by adding some strategic reflective elements, even a mirror,’ says interior designer Stephanie Brown . ‘For instance, flanking a full-height headboard with mirrors on either side – behind the nightstands – gives the illusion of more space, and tricks the eye into seeing a greater expanse of that stunning view.’
When you’re thinking about how to arrange a small bedroom , using mirrors is also a great way to make the space feel bigger than it is.
4. Display artwork in wall-preserving ways

Renting from a strict landlord? Hanging artwork can be a dangerous endeavour.
‘Rented apartments can be challenging to decorate because of everything you can’t do,’ says Annica Wallin, executive creative director of Desenio . 'However, with a creative mindset, there are always ways that you can add beautiful apartment bedroom ideas while staying within the rules of your rental agreement.
‘If you’re not allowed to drill nails, there are still so many rental-friendly options. Consider going for a low-key, artsy feel by applying posters to the wall or a corkboard using washi tape. Alternatively, you can use wall-safe hanging stickers if you want to feature art prints in frames.
‘A chic look that is trending right now is choosing an extra-large print to lean against your wall or place on your sideboard. This way, you can be flexible and rearrange prints whenever you feel like a change.’
When thinking about how to decorate a guest bedroom , making it easy to swap frames in and out means that you can use a lesser-frequented room to store artwork you don’t feel like having in main spaces at this time.
5. A padded headboard will jazz up bedtime

If hanging frames is a no-go, turn your bed into a work of art with creative headboard ideas . ‘Here at Linwood, we are great fans of the padded headboard,' says Smigielski. ‘For a few hundred pounds you can transform any bedroom with a hit of glorious color or pattern.’
Regardless of whether you’re renting, a statement upholstered headboard helps bring a little grandeur to any apartment bedroom ideas. ‘As with a fireplace, a headboard gives a room a focus and it has the added benefit of coming with you to your next home. When choosing fabric make sure you pick something that is hard wearing and stain resistant, such as our Kami printed velvet.’

Fitting every feature you want in small apartment bedroom ideas can be tough – and you may find that storage concerns battle with aesthetics. The end of the bed is a great place to fit in unobtrusive (and often freestanding) storage that can double up as either a seating space or a full blown design feature.
‘In effort to preserve wall space for the family’s art collection, we opted to have a custom cabinet made to house the television out of sight but easily accessible in the master bedroom,’ says interior designer Alexis Hughes , who orchestrated a storage-smart refit of a family’s apartment home in Manhattan. ‘We mounted a bronze sculpture atop the motorized lid of the cabinet to disguise its true function.’
7. Soft furnishings will help with noise transmission
(Image credit: Future/Damian Russell)
One of the biggest banes of apartment living is proximity to your neighbors – and their noise.
‘There isn’t a lot you can do about noise from the upstairs neighbors (fortunately, ours are very considerate!), except to install as many soft surfaces as you can, such as rugs and window treatments,’ says Retlev. ‘This cuts down on noise and makes the room feel softer and quieter.’ Soft furnishings are also a great option for cozy bedroom ideas .
‘We also thought about our downstairs neighbors, especially since we have a young son. When we renovated the apartment, we installed GenieMat under the new flooring. This gives the floor a slightly more resilient feel and significantly cuts down on noise transmission.’
8. Use open shelves for decorative displays
(Image credit: Future/Paul Raeside)
Open shelves aren’t ideal for hiding away the clutter, but they are an excellent vehicle for bringing a little personality into apartment bedroom ideas.
‘If there are shelves in place already, try using them as a way to feature artwork, flowers, and other ornaments,’ says Wallin. If you’re renting, shelves offer an alternative way to display decor other than nailing it to the wall – tall units will allow you to put decor at eye level, and if the apartment doesn’t have any installed, it’s easy to bring in your own freestanding unit.
If you’re looking to mix and match useful storage with decor, Choate and Ugarte recommend keeping to a strategy. ‘Use the top and bottom shelves as storage, using stylish wicker baskets for storing items out of sight, leaving the middle shelves where the eye naturally falls for an area of decoration.’
In this apartment bedroom, a built-in shelving unit is used to display artwork, as well as a choice selection of books and sporting paraphernalia.
9. Show your floor some love with a rug

Too busy worrying about your walls? Don’t forget your floor. ‘Use colorful plush rugs to inject character into a room,’ recommend Choate and Ugarte.
‘Rugs are a great way to add personality to often drab flooring in rental properties, and they are also a chic solution to protect them from wear and tear and potential damage.’
10. Built-in beds help make the most of space
(Image credit: Turner Pocock / Alex James)
When designing an apartment bedroom from scratch, think about what your bed can offer other than a comfortable place to sleep.
‘Another trick for making the most of apartment bedrooms is to do a built-in bed, rather than furniture pieces,’ says Brown. ‘This can be really helpful when working with a smaller space, and can include lots of unique features such as drawers or a lift-mechanism under the mattress, to capture every inch of storage space.’
How can I decorate my small one bedroom apartment?
When thinking how to make a small bedroom look bigger – or indeed, an entire apartment – storage really has to come first.
‘When we approach any project, no matter how large, we always do so with the preservation of space in mind,’ says Hughes. ‘With a new build, we love to reclaim overlooked nooks for storage, but it is never as important as when building in the city where every square foot is at a premium.’
Once you know you’ve really made the most of the space you have, thinking about scale should be your next concern – and there are plenty of visual ruses you can use to trick the eye into feeling like a room is bigger than it is.
‘When decorating a small bedroom with art prints, color and print size should be carefully considered,’ says Wallin. ‘Art prints in neutral tones and muted shades will bring more light into the room and help it feel more spacious. Choosing several smaller-sized prints instead of a single large print will help to create the illusion of a larger room.’
How can I decorate my apartment bedroom?
‘Designing an apartment bedroom is often different than within a house, in that the footprint is typically more compact, and very restrictive in terms of where the bed can go’, says Brown.
‘Use of space becomes paramount, such as clever built-ins, barn doors, and touches of mirror or other reflective elements to expand the space. We try to keep smaller apartment bedroom ideas lighter in tone, but they can still feel rich and luxurious by adding layers of texture such as wallpaper, rugs, pillows and throws.’

How to decorate the bedroom: 20 decor examples
Don't know how to make your bedroom brighter? We will show 20 interesting options - many of them will definitely appeal to you.
If you are wondering how to decorate your bedroom, in this article you will find the answer. We have collected for you the brightest and most unusual ideas that are suitable for a bedroom of any size and stylistic direction. Watch and be inspired!
1. Paintings
It may seem that this is the most banal way to decorate a bedroom: you take a picture, hang it on the wall, and everyone is happy. However, this is not the case, because it all depends on how you approach the process. Choose canvases made in extraordinary techniques, or focus on an unusual frame. Moreover, the picture can not only be hung, but also put on the floor - large canvases are suitable for this. For creative hosts, there is another option: paint a picture directly on the wall. Not vandalism, but beauty. nine0003

2. Decorative pillows
Pillows in the form of hearts or unknown creatures will not surprise anyone, and there is nothing interesting here either. But textiles, which depict paintings by famous artists, are a very interesting option. You don't have to buy dozens of pillows. We advise you to purchase covers and simply change them depending on your mood: with embroidery, fringe, pom-poms and other decorations. A little bit of ethnic notes will also be in the subject. nine0003

3. Wallpaper
To freshen up a room and make it look glossy, re-paste the wallpaper. Today there are so many models that the eyes run wide! You will definitely find something for yourself. Marble wallpapers, with flying birds, with reproductions of famous paintings - whatever you want.

4. Bedside tables
A bedside table is an effective element in a designer's arsenal. Not only will you get a practical piece of furniture, but also a cool accent piece. We urge you to abandon the usual square monochrome nightstands in favor of something more interesting. What exactly? For example, a stump-shaped bedside table made from a real log cabin is a great option for a scandi or country style. Or a bedside table painted in Gzhel, which can become both a chair and a mini coffee table. Multifunctional pieces of furniture are welcome everywhere. nine0003

5. Bedspread
Another piece of textile, the choice of which is often not approached very responsibly. To spruce up your bedroom, look for lace or knitted bedspreads that will add an interesting texture to the room. Particularly interesting are the interiors, where snow-white lace bedspreads are laid on colored bed linen and vice versa - a contrasting color scheme is obtained.

6. Canopy
For dreamy and gentle natures, the bedroom can be decorated with a canopy. This decorative detail is not only beautiful, but also practical: it helps to protect the bed from drafts, sunlight, dust and provides a comfortable sleep even during the day.

7. Lamps
Lamps can also become a full decoration of the bedroom. But only if you choose extraordinary models. It is not necessary to buy super complex lamps, it is enough to focus on one thing: on the base or on the lampshade. nine0003

8. Wall mural
For those who are bored with wallpaper, panels and tiles, there is another option: wall mural. With its help, you can bring any idea to life: draw at least flowers with birds, at least repeat a Van Gogh painting. It is better to entrust such work to a professional, then the result will exceed all your expectations. Remember: if the walls are with a bright and often repeated pattern, the rest of the bedroom decor should be kept in neutral shades. nine0003

9. Mirror
Where would a room be without a mirror? That's right - nowhere. Let it be not only functional, but also beautiful. For classic trends, mirrors with massive frames, which are decorated with carved elements, are perfect. In natural styles, irregularly shaped mirrors with a wooden frame will look good.

10. Curtains
Properly selected curtains for the bedroom are already half the battle. And properly decorated curtains are a whole victory. For example, in the style of minimalism, where the decor is not very welcome, it does not hurt to add a couple of small details that would decorate the room. You can choose curtains with a subtle pattern or with the addition of lace, which will cast beautiful shadows in sunny weather. And you can sew fringe or tassels to the fabric. nine0003

11. Carpet
With neutral walls and furniture, a bright carpet will help enliven the atmosphere of the room. You can focus either on saturated colors, thereby creating contrast, or on the original drawing - abstraction or geometric patterns will do.

12. Bright colors
The bedroom can be decorated not only with textiles or decor items, but also with bright colors. Look around. See a lot of white spots and boring textures? So, it's time to change the interior for the better! Let the walls be not beige, but soft pink or peach. Replace old furniture covers too: choose delicate textures, such as bright purple velvet or corduroy. nine0003

13. Marble notes
Marble is a unique stone that can bring a touch of chic and sophistication to any room and style. It can be wallpaper with a characteristic pattern, furniture covers, decor items (dishes, lamps, paintings). The main thing is to know the measure, because a large amount of marble decor will not benefit the interior.

14. Symphony of patterns
To create such an interior as in the photo below, you need good taste and design flair, since it is very difficult to combine different patterns. However, look how stylish and gentle the bedroom looks. For example, to create a monochrome interior, select all items with different shades of the same color (blue, ultramarine, cornflower blue, cobalt). As for patterns, stick to one theme, such as botanicals. Let the carpet, wallpaper and furniture have a floral pattern of approximately the same size, but of a different composition. nine0003

15. Animal skins
This decorative element will make the design of the bedroom more luxurious and richer, becoming its bright accent. Animal skins will look appropriate not only in ethnic styles, but also in many modern ones, for example, in eclecticism or art deco. To achieve the above effect, it is not necessary to purchase real skins, artificial ones are also suitable.

16. Neon colors
Neon colors are starting to come back into fashion: many fashion designers come up with collections of incredible beauty in neon shades. They also penetrate into the field of design. Decorate the bed with bright pillows or a blanket, matching decor items in color for a whole picture. nine0003

17. Live plants
Live plants are a real salvation for the bedroom interior. They not only make the design more dynamic, but also bring great benefits: they purify the air. If the room has a large area, look at massive plants, if the bedroom is small, smaller plants will do. Focus on pots and vases. Not enough floor or shelf space? Attach plants to the ceiling or walls using cute planters. nine0003

18. Decorating the ceiling
We need to decorate not only what is under our nose, but also what is above our heads. Be sure to pay attention to decorating the ceiling. Tiered structures, laminate finishes, and a floating ceiling are cool options that will transform the look of your bedroom.

19. Vintage items
If there are old things lying around in the closet, do not rush to throw them away - maybe there is something unusual that will decorate your bedroom. Old chests, shabby suitcases, vases and much more will turn out to be a full-fledged decorative element of the room. Such things can be found in flea markets. nine0003

20. LED installations
Want to add decor that resembles nightclubs? LED installations - what you need. Such an accessory will look especially appropriate in loft and pop art styles, complemented by bright textiles and textured wall decoration.

Rules, nuances of decorating the bedroom
A cozy bedroom is needed in every apartment - the quality of sleep is above all. In this space, sound insulation is important - in panel houses you have to do it yourself, since the walls are thin. To protect against noise, high-quality double-glazed windows are installed, interior doors, walls, floors, and ceilings are finished with soundproof materials. nine0003
Original furniture can act as bright decorative elements
To make the atmosphere in the room calm, relaxed, it is desirable to avoid sharp corners, sharp contrasts, broken lines.
If the space is small, then unnecessary items should be discarded, leaving only the necessary ones - a bed, a wardrobe, a dressing table.
Which bedroom decoration option to choose?
Before decorating the walls in the bedroom, you should decide:
To create a harmonious design, choose an accent zone in the room. This will be the sleeping place itself, its headboard, ceiling area, a place around a TV screen hanging on the wall, a window opening or a desktop.
Well-chosen accessories and decorations can radically change the interior of the bedroom
Decorative elements should be closely related to the character of the owner of the bedroom
Tips for decorating the interior of the bedroom
Textile draperies, indoor plants, paintings on a natural theme will be a suitable decoration for any bedroom. But there should not be too much decor - even with daily cleaning, it collects dust, which adversely affects the health of a person who spends at least 8-10 hours a day here. nine0003
Some will be satisfied with a small shelf above the bed for their favorite photos and souvenirs
Others will like a high upholstered headboard
canopy and valance.
It is allowed to hang a mirror in the room, but only one, preferably round or oval. The presence of several mirror objects of a “broken” shape will create excessive glare and cause inexplicable anxiety. nine0003
Bedroom interior design styles
The practical design of bedrooms in modern apartments depends on their location relative to each other, size, lighting. In an apartment where only one room or bedroom is connected to a walk-through hall, the sleeping space is decorated in the same style as the rest. When there are two or more separate bedrooms in a dwelling, it is permissible to decorate each of them in its own unique style, combining only with separate “overlapping” elements - the texture of the flooring, the color of window frames, and wall decor. nine0003
It is customary to use elements characteristic of a particular style to decorate a bedroom. For example. in the loft it is brickwork
Classic
Refined and sophisticated wall decor in the bedroom is a classic style. All objects are arranged symmetrically here, the materials used are mostly natural, the colors are warm. The floor is decorated with piece parquet, the walls - with wallpaper with monograms, on the ceiling - a volumetric crystal chandelier and stucco with gilding.
Paintings are a traditional decor element of a classic interior
The walls of the bedroom in a classic style can be decorated with artistic painting
Scandinavian
Scandinavian interior is a room filled with air and light, light warm colors, natural wood and natural stone, simple shapes of objects. There are woolen striped blankets, a cozy fireplace or its imitation, bright accents in the form of floor lamps, ceramic figurines, flowering potted plants.
On the one hand, unusual decor items are welcome in the Nordic interior
On the other hand, the most ordinary objects can cope with the role of decorative elements
Minimalism
Bedroom decor in the minimalist style suggests a complete lack of decor, pure shades, smooth draperies. The furniture here is of the simplest form, there are usually no curtains, there are flat built-in lamps on the ceiling, and “night lamps” in the form of cylinders or cubes on the bedside tables.
Today it is fashionable to decorate the wall with soft upholstery with leatherette or fabric
The laminate panel placed over the head of the bed will look impressive
Provence
It is also quite possible to decorate a bedroom beautifully, as in a French countryside. This does not require modern furniture - an old, slightly shabby one is preferable. All shades seem to be faded, there are valances and canopies, floral chintz curtains, and embroidered bedspreads. On the floor - boards, on the walls - light paper wallpaper, the ceiling is white, decorated with a chandelier with a wooden carved shade. nine0003
The Provence-style bedroom has a cozy and sensual atmosphere
The Provencal interior is characterized by floral decor, both with floral ornaments on wallpaper and textiles, and fresh flowers in vases and baskets hi-tech idea. Here there is a mirror wardrobe, a metal coffee or dressing table, a simple-shaped bed on high iron legs. Cold colors are used, draperies are shiny, and silver blinds are on the windows. The wardrobe is decorated with LED strip. nine0003
Decorating a high-tech bedroom with photo wallpapers
An example of an effective lighting that has become the main decorating element of the bedroom interior
Colors, materials in the interior of bedrooms
For a bedroom in an ordinary apartment, materials are used that create comfort in the room. Wood is preferred as a floor covering - it is warm, environmentally friendly, has a beautiful texture. Ceramic tile is not desirable - it is cold, and moving on it causes excessive noise. nine0003
The color range of finishing materials must match the chosen style solution
Light water-based paint is used for the ceiling, and tension structures contribute to maximum sound insulation. The walls are often covered with wallpaper in discreet colors, and on one free one they place photo wallpapers on a natural theme. Less commonly, the walls are painted, decorated with natural wood, partially laid out with stone, decorated with plaster moldings.
Perspective wall murals visually enlarge the space of a small bedroom
