Bedroom ideas: Layer up
Layering tactile materials will add depth and interest to a bedroom scheme. This contemporary bedroom is proof of this, thanks to the dark wooden floor and black pendant light over the bed, plus scrunchy linens and plentiful cushions in hues of dove grey, white and terracotta which introduces grown-up comfort. The chunky rug gives warmth underfoot.

Bedroom ideas: Circular feature wall
For a bedroom idea that's calming but still impactful, get creative with paint to make a feature wall, like this large circular wall design. This cheery, rosy hue brings a bright burst of joy into a room. It's a delicate, refreshing shade and a great alternative to other warm neutrals such as cream or beige. Importantly, it's soft enough to flatter a multitude of looks.

When it comes to your bedroom wall colour, deep blues have always had a confident yet calm authority. This blue bedroom is balanced with the white ceiling and lampshade, plus the white chest of drawers with brass knobs which add a stylish touch.

Bedroom ideas: Grey alcove
This is a comforting grey and white bedroom scheme. Storage is often limited in a bedroom – even though clutter should most definitely be kept to a minimum – but this bedroom design makes the most of alcoves to display decor and treasured pieces.

A bedroom should be all about comfort, so invest in a tufted twist pile carpet for a fabulous feeling underfoot.
This tan-brown carpet is the perfect colour to lift an otherwise neutral, pared-back bedroom scheme. The combination of lush greenery (plants can also enhance the quality of your sleep) with grey and burnt orange soft furnishings, is the perfect finishing touch to your bedroom sanctuary.

Bedroom ideas: Vibrant pinks

Bedroom ideas: True blue
Transform a neutral bed frame with a floral duvet and pillowcases. Finish with a wool throw in a paler sky hue for an elegant look. To make your room feel larger and brighter, paint the walls in a chalky off-white or pale shade of blue. For a more dramatic statement try a darker backdrop, which will look gorgeous with bright white and inky blue linens.

Bedroom ideas: Sophisticated minimalism
If you're a minimalist at heart, look to soft furnishings to bring some texture and contrast to your sleeping area.
This rather grand bedroom benefits from tall ceilings, which makes the wall panelling a focal point here.
But to make a feature of your bed, layer crisp white cotton bed linen with a velvet midnight blue bedspread and matching cushions. With accessories, stick to organic shapes (the curved interior trend is great to tap into) and balance with wooden furniture for a sophisticated, calming bedroom scheme.

54 Inspiring Modern Bedroom Ideas
1
Mirrored Walls (Not Ceilings)
Stephen Kent Johnson
The bedroom of Apparatus’s Gabriel Hendifar New York City apartment is an object lesson in how a mirrored wall—long considered a relic of a bygone era—can be just what a modern bedroom needs. The custom brass bed is topped with a bedcover and bolster in Zak+Fox fabrics.
The pendant and nightstand are by Apparatus.
2
Sinuous Accent Chaise
Ty Cole Studio
As much as you may want your bedroom to be a quiet sanctuary, the presence of a dramatic piece of furniture, like this sinuous rocking chaise by Igor Rodrigues in a 2Michaels townhouse project on the Upper West Side, won’t keep you up past bedtime.
3
All Out Aubergine
David Land
There is no more sophisticated shade of purple than eggplant, as evidenced in this Brooklyn family residence designed by Danielle Fennoy of Revamp. The bedroom walls are covered in Farrow & Ball’s Brinjal paint. The custom bed’s headboard, beneath an artwork by Stan Brodsky, is upholstered in a Romo print, and the throw pillow is in a Dedar fabric.
4
Haute Tension
Stephan Julliard
If your interior aesthetic swings contemporary but the architecture is antique, it’s always advisable to preserve some original elements to then mix with modern furniture pieces.
In the Paris apartment of Hugo Toro, the stained-glass window in the bedroom is original to the apartment. The chair is by Timothée Musset, and the curtains are from Silva Paris. The carpet and the leather bed frame are custom.
5
Repurposed-Door Headboard
Frank Frances Studio
A headboard doesn’t need to be upholstered, tufted— or a headboard at all, for that matter. In a Brooklyn brownstone designed by Ishka Designs, carved wooden doors from Morocco make a perfect decorative headboard. The pouf is from CB2, the pendant light by Workstead. The carpet is from Nourison, and the curtains are from the Shade Store.
6
Better Together
Peter Murdock
Where is it written that two beds need two discrete headboards? Answer: nowhere worth mentioning. After seeing this custom bed arrangement in a Long Island house by Joe Nahem, consider the argument Q.
E.D. The table is by ModShop, and the lamp is from Allied Maker. The artwork is by Jessi Reaves.
7
Hitting the Tube Lights
Read Mckendree, from Workshop/APD Homes: Architecture, Interiors, and the Spaces Between, Rizzoli New York, 2022.
Bedside lamps can be nice, but they take up room on the nightstand. In a Workshop/APD project in Manhattan, these Orion tube lights by Lee Broom from the Future Perfect provide an exceedingly chic solution. The headboard was upholstered in a Pierre Frey fabric, and the curtains are by Cowtan & Tout. Underfoot is a custom Medina rug by Eskayel.
8
Lower the Pendant
Francesco Dolfo
In Milan, anything goes. Case in point: Designer Paolo Castellarin installed a Flos pendant to hover next to the pillows. Some might have an issue with this, but stylishly irreverent is something we should all aspire to be.
The Vico Magistretti bed from Flou is topped with Loro Piana throws and Fornasetti pillows. The wall paint is RAL Pale Brown, and the window paint is RAL Green Beige.
9
Maximum Botanicals
Shade Degges
There’s botanical wallpaper, and then there’s botanical wallpaper. This example from Lizzo in a Malibu home designed by Martha Mulholland is an impressionistic visual feast that will keep you close to nature, even if the view from your bedroom window is of a brick wall. The vintage pendants by Bruno Chiarini for Stilnovo hang down on either side.
10
Mixed, Not Matched
Marni Epstein-Mervis
The throw has nothing to do with throw pillows, which have nothing to do with the headboard. And yet, everything fits together perfectly. It’s sprezzatura for the bedroom in an Oakland, California, house by Duett Interiors, and it’s oh-so-appealing.
11
Timber Trifecta
Stephan Julliard
Rattan and pine and mahogany! Oh my! Who says brown is dead? Jacques Grange proves that tired conceit wrong with this calmly sophisticated bedroom in a Comporta, Portugal, house. A pendant from Loja de Cá hangs from a soaring pine ceiling. The rattan screen and floor lamp are both from Paris flea markets; the vintage Mozambique mahogany cabinet is from Santa Maria Velharias. The artwork is by Ophélie Asch.
12
Blue Is the Warmest Color
Isabel Parra
Very few colors can bring both a feeling of joy and moodiness to a bedroom like this shade of blue from Farrow & Ball used by Perifio in a house in Hudson Valley. The throw on the Lulu and Georgia bed is from Missoni Home, the Verner Panton chair is vintage, the side tables are from &Tradition, and the sconces are from Lighting NYC.
The walls are in Inchyra Blue from Farrow & Ball.
13
Infinite Headboard
Stephen Kent Johnson
Where does a headboard stop and a room begin? That’s not easy to answer. Ashe Leandro provides a new twist in an Upper East Side apartment with one that wraps around the periphery of the room. The custom nightstand is by Rob Pluhowski, the sconce is from Lites on West, the bed linens are by Matteo, and the throw is from Area Home.
14
A Hint of Yellow
silvia foz
What’s that peering through from behind the creamy bedding? It’s all our eyes can see. Is it...? Why, yes. That’s a dollop of mustard in a New York City bedroom by Carly Cushnie, as strong in appearance as Colman’s is to taste. A collage of vintage saris adds another splash of yellow above the bed.
15
One Big Dark Room
Nick Glimenakis
Don’t underestimate the calming qualities of an all-black room.
Delia Kenza went for it here in the main bedroom of a Brooklyn townhouse. Verdict? Worth the risk!
16
Frey All Day
Joanna Maclennan
Every house should include some Pierre Frey fabrics. They’re chic, they’re classic, and they’re extremely well made. Patrick Frey, of Pierre Frey, just went all out in his use of the family product in his house in the south of France. The bedcover, canopy, and pillows are all in Pierre Frey fabrics. The rattan trunk is vintage, and the rug is by—you guessed it—Pierre Frey.
17
Statement Bed
Douglas Friedman
A stunning lacquer-and–silver leaf four-poster bed makes a statement in this Palm Beach house. An Art Deco floor lamp is paired with a tufted window seat. The art is by David Hockney.
18
Bright Blue Accents
William Waldron
Two iridescent glass pendants flank a blue artwork by Caroline Sardi.
The Nicole Fuller Collection side table sits next to a low-profile platform bed by Poliform. Rich velvet curtains match the cobalt hue in the rug from the Rug Company in this townhouse in New York City’s Greenwich Village.
19
Wood-Beam Bedroom
James Merrell
An iron four-poster bed sits on top of an antique parquet floor in this Jacques Grange–designed apartment. The wood-beam ceiling is an original and striking detail. Custom bronze mirrors face the bed, and a 1950s floor lamps adds a pop of color.
20
Modernist Details
Roger Casas
Concrete walls are softened with flowing blue window treatments in this Marina Del Rey, California, house. Wood furniture adds warmth, and the tufts of the bedspread align with the tie holes in the concrete wall behind the bed.
21
Rich, Colorful Accessories
Trevor Tondro Photography
This Montecito, California, bedroom by Kim Alexandriuk is gorgeously filled with gray textiles and accessorized with pops of rich color.
Blue table lamps by Ryan Mennealy flank a bed covered in a George Spencer Designs velvet. A midcentury aluminum bench covered in a green jacquard by Lauren Hwang is placed at the foot of the bed, and the subtle and glamorous rug is by Jorge Pardo for Christopher Farr. A pendant by Philippe Anthonioz makes a statement in the center of the room.
22
Modern Glamour
Gianni Franchellucci
Shades of gray create a chic palette in this London apartment. A custom lamp with a charcoal shade by Liz Marsh Designs sits on top of a nightstand by Oliver Bonas. A large black-and-white photograph hangs above the cream-upholstered bed.
23
Minimalist Decor
Erik Undéhn
Stark white walls are a crisp canvas for furniture and accessories in this modernist bedroom. A black Volante occasional table by Pierre Guariche is paired with a Pivotant wall light by Charlotte Perriand.
A painting by Hans Hedenström hangs above a low wood headboard.
24
Warm Tones
Brittany Ambridge
A blue-and-orange color scheme adds richness to this New York City bedroom by designer Danielle Colding. An upholstered bed is topped with blue velvet throw pillows, and a pendant hanging above a cobalt side table makes for an unexpected bedside lamp.
25
Oxblood Accents
Eric Piasecki
Walls covered in a Holland & Sherry fabric create a creamy canvas in this New York City bedroom. An oxblood wallcovering from Castel is a dramatic break in the wall. The custom bed by interior designer Gideon Mendelson is flanked by two open-shelf nightstands.
26
Hamptons Living
David Benjamin Sherry
An East Hampton bedroom relies on a sleek white backdrop punctuated by a colorful Dhoku rug, artwork by Richard Aldrich, and vintage sconces by Gino Sarfatti.
The bed features Frette linens.

28
Modernist Accents
Thomas Loof
When it came to an apartment in a TriBeCa skyscraper, designer Richard Mishaan aimed for a sense of adventure.

The design scheme features a custom bed and sofa, both in a Maharam mohair, from Mishaan’s line for Theodore Alexander. The bed linens are by Matouk, the armchairs are by Holly Hunt, and the Plexiglas cocktail table is by Charly Bounan.
The brass pendants are by Roll & Hill, and the Willy Rizzo floor lamp is from Flair Home Collection.
29
Pops of Color
Douglas Friedman

interesting ideas and how to implement them
interesting ideas
Stylish bedroom design projects are so numerous that we can easily choose the most suitable one. Of course, adjustments to our taste and realities are inevitable even with the most successful such option, so let's consider how to decorate the bedroom with our own hands in order to fully reflect our inner world in a room that belongs exclusively to us.
First, we will present our favorite color palette, then we will organize good sound insulation, we will select compact furniture. But only decorative elements will give the room an attractive personality, decorate it inimitably. Without them, the bedroom is boring and inexpressive. nine0003
An interesting and trendy décor will emphasize the peaceful and intimate mood of the environment.
Decorate the walls and ceiling
The walls completely frame the entire interior of the room, so when deciding how to decorate the wall in the bedroom, choose the most appropriate way.
Wall painting is a complex but accessible decoration for everyone: all kinds of stencils will make up for our lack of artistic skills.
Decor options
Wall decoration should be in harmony with the whole interior. nine0003
There are simple and specific tips on how to decorate your bedroom wall with your own hands.
- The walls in a Japanese-style room are always invisible and plain . Therefore, their colorful decoration is not appropriate, only a branch of sakura over the headboard will become a sophisticated accent, and wall fans will luxuriously highlight the headboard.
- Above the bed we can hang a photo, a painting . Moreover, we will take a large picture in a thin frame - so it does not look bulky. nine0024
Canopy creates the illusion of airiness and romantic mood.
- Applications are the best answer to the question of how to decorate the wall in the bedroom .
We will make an interesting pattern with wallpaper stickers for the bedroom walls: we will make an original pattern out of them and stick it on the wall.
Tip!
Framed wall patterns can be made from printed fabrics similar to bed linen colors.
All colors and prints must match perfectly. nine0003
We admire the charming island of rich nature all year round.
- Wall murals with high quality large format prints will perfectly decorate the bedroom wall . Their huge selection (from abstractions to landscapes from all over the world) will satisfy absolutely all our personal preferences.
Mirrors of different diameters - a stylish solution to the problem of how to decorate the wall in the bedroom above the bed.
- Mirror - a traditional attribute of the bedroom interior . It will beautifully expand the space: just set it so that a well-lit object is reflected there.
Multi-level stylized ceiling will adequately decorate the bedroom.
- Bedroom ceiling lighting not only looks romantic, but also emphasizes the spectacular interior.
Lighting decor
Lighting is the main decoration of the interior.
Instructions from designers list many advantages of lighting decor. nine0003
And the main ones:
- interior lighting;
- style accent;
- color play;
- creating chiaroscuro.
The latest LEDs and spotlights will provide us with an illuminating morning light, a joyful day even in bad weather.
Furniture and accessories
Sleek, modern furniture, perfect for decorating a room.
Designers are sure to highlight the original center of the interior, which immediately forms an assessment of style. nine0003
We decorate furniture
We decorate a window, headboard, pillows, table with one cloth.
- We can make a new headboard from hardboard or plywood, and simply unscrew the old headboard and restore it with a beautiful fabric or leatherette over foam rubber, fixing it with a furniture stapler.
- It is easy to make patterns on the headboard with decorative cords and other finishes - beautiful and original, and the price is minimal.
- Curtains above the bed on the ceiling cornice will give us a comfortable sleeping island. (See also the article Canopies in the bedroom: features.)
- Stylized decor in national or oriental traditions will require non-standard, exotic ornaments. And custom-made prints in a design firm are a simple solution to this issue.
- All reflective objects increase the volume - glass, mirrors, and wall lamps highlight them even more. Therefore, we cover the facade of a large closet with a mirror - it is now invisible, and the room is spacious.
Decoration with accessories
In the photo: decor emphasizes individual style - and the design becomes much more interesting and original. nine0003
