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.

Bedroom ideas: Midnight blues

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.

Bedroom ideas: Elegant harmony

Dark grey walls with a dusky pink velvet bed, combined with rich timber tones and brass finishes on furniture, make for a wonderfully dramatic and sophisticated bedroom. The bay window offers an abundance of natural light and the hanging chair provides an alternative spot to sit.

Bedroom ideas: Simply rustic

A limited neutral colour palette is key to this rustic bedroom design. A bespoke panelled headboard cleverly opens out to enclose the bed or folds flat against the wall. Coastal-inspired artwork adds interest.

White is the perfect foil for a pairing of yellow and pink, allowing the colours to sing out. A steel-blue upholstered bed acts as a cool contrast. Soft plaster pink works to sooth any brash tones for an overall calming bedroom.

Bedroom ideas: Soothing pink & grey

If you ever needed proof that pink and grey are a match made in heaven, then this is it. A stunning fabric depicting a mass of blowsy peonies provides a gorgeous backdrop for a bedroom scheme. Bedlinen and throws in soft, muted colours ensure the wallhanging has maximum impact.

Bedroom ideas: Serene uplift

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

A striking mural will create visual impact in a bedroom. Abundant floral designs feel smart and contemporary when paired with luxurious velvet, gold and marble. Mirror the pattern on just one cushion, keeping surrounding bedlinen plain and light so the mural can take centre stage.

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: French style

This French country style bedroom is easy to achieve. Combine minimalist, pared-back furniture, layer tactile furnishings, and add a touch of luxury. The ornate headboard and soft silk bed linen (which is widely recognised for its inherent beauty benefits) exudes a timeless elegance and adds a sense of grandeur. Team with wooden accents and raw, exposed materials (as seen here with the exposed ceiling) to create a rustic look.

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.

27

Beach Escape

Douglas Friedman

For this Miami Beach getaway, designer Lee F. Mindel fused modern and Pop Art sensibilities. The headboard, in a Chapas Textiles fabric, and bench are custom, the nightstands are by Atelier Prelati, and the vintage Max Ingrand pendant is by FontanaArte.

28

Modernist Accents

Thomas Loof

When it came to an apartment in a TriBeCa skyscraper, designer Richard Mishaan aimed for a sense of adventure. From stimulating hues to rich textures, there's no shortage of visual interest throughout the space, especially in the main bedroom. 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

Designer Lee F. Mindel isn’t afraid of color, and this modern Miami Beach getaway is proof. In the guest bedroom, which Mindel brought to life with panels in Benjamin Moore’s Cool Aqua, the headboard, in a Link Textiles fabric, matches the wall panels. The bed is dressed in custom linens by E. Braun & Co., the Oluce lamps are from MSK Illuminations, and the nightstands are from Design Within Reach.

30

Monochromatic Look

Tim Waltman

31

Minimalist Dream

32

Warm and Cool

Robyn Lea

This spacious primary bedroom—crafted by fashion designer Lisa Perry—unites warm and cool colors to create a clean, contemporary balance. Here, a Callum Innes artwork brings a citrusy appeal to an otherwise cool-toned space.

33

Industrial Cool

Dylan Lim Suarez

In the Brooklyn apartment of blogger Natalie Lim Suarez, custom sliding-glass doors lead into the bedroom, which maintains a pared-down appeal with minimal furniture and a monochromatic palette.

34

Monochromatic Oasis

Richard Powers

Sex and the City creator Darren Star’s New York City bedroom is a lesson in the peacefulness of monochrome and features a headboard in a Cowtan & Tout fabric, sconces by Gubi, and nightstands by Room & Board.

35

Beachside Modernity

Douglas Friedman

In a striking retreat in Miami’s Surf Club designed by Delphine Krakoff, the guest bedroom maintains modern beach vibes with a sculptural side table, rounded headboard, and statement artwork.

36

Modernized Antiques

Stephen Kent Johnson

With accents like a 1960s wall sculpture and antique French tole clocks, this bedroom manages to exude modern elegance. Thanks to a palette of rich grays, a layering of textures, and clean-lined silhouettes, the space has an overarching sense of modernity.

37

Pale Hues

Emily Andrews Photography

A Chelsea home’s main bedroom relies on just a few statement pieces to reflect a serene and modern aesthetic. The custom walnut bed, matching dresser and side table, and coordinating artwork give the minimalist space a modern feel.
