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

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

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

36
Modernized Antiques

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

Advantages and disadvantages of modern style in bedroom design
With the development of new technologies in the field of building finishing materials and furniture production, painting of plastered walls and floors is a thing of the past, expensive, labor-intensive, and complex in the care of parquet, bulky bedroom sets and heavy curtains. They were replaced by textured plaster, creative wallpaper, suspended ceilings, laminate, carpet, modular furniture, blinds and roller blinds. They are easy to install, practical and easy to maintain. Panoramic windows add light and create a sense of space. nine0005
Natural wood furniture is at the peak of popularity, and can consist of separate modules that are easily transformed, swapped, creating an exclusive composition each time. With their help, the space of a modern bedroom becomes not only functional, but also stylish.
Along with environmentally friendly materials, when filling the bedroom, MDF and plastic furniture is also used to reduce the cost.
By observing the harmony in the color scheme, it is possible to get a single sleeping space from disparate objects that meets the new trends in decoration. The boundaries of modern styles are in close contact with each other, the stylistic direction is sometimes captured only by the accents of the furniture and decorative details used in the design. nine0005
Space zoning can be achieved using modular systems, through the use of organically integrated lightweight sliding partitions, decorative structures, screens or curtains.
Dressing rooms, bathrooms and offices, as well as boudoirs can be moved outside the bedroom, or vice versa, if the area allows, be part of it,
or a continuation in the attached loggia or balcony.
To visually divide the space, designers also actively use podiums, raising part of the floor surface of one zone relative to another by several centimeters.
nine0005
Another of the planning solutions for highlighting conditional boundaries is the use of ceiling beams and consoles, which do not interfere with the arrangement of furniture and the passage of light, but only visually highlight part of the room.
To highlight the bedside area in modern design, textured wallpaper or plaster, wood, leather and stone imitation, or open shelving can be used.
Modern bedroom interiors are easy to make stylish and fashionable, using a variety of materials and combining them with different lighting options. nine0005
The colors of finishing materials and furniture must be determined in advance, they should not cause negative perception. The interior of a modern bedroom can and should be thought out in such a way that it is psychologically comfortable.
The smaller the area allocated to the bedroom, the lighter the palette used, the use of pastel colors visually expands the space.
Shades such as yellow and cream, blue, peach, olive, light green and mint will help you get a positive charge.
nine0005
For expressiveness of the interior of a modern bedroom, you can add a few details of a more saturated color to these shades. Excess should not be here, congestion of bright colors does not contribute to a restful sleep.
After choosing the right background shade, you can emphasize the modernity of the bedroom design with the following interior solutions:
- by combining materials;
- bright lighting;
- large multifunctional furniture of simple shapes; nine0036
- accents based on contrast;
- using glossy wall surfaces;
- creating relief forms and volumes.
Modern style implies a minimum number of decorative elements and household appliances, since the main task of a proper modern bedroom decor is to create a cozy environment.
The main trends in modern bedroom design
Modern bedrooms have recognizable features and noticeable differences. It became possible to systematize them according to certain criteria in the use of materials, forms and accents.
nine0005
Modern trends include:
- Modern classics;
- Modern;
- Minimalism;
- Loft;
- Scandinavian;
- Techno;
- Hi-tech;
- Eastern;
- Provence;
- Country.
Modern Classic
Classic interiors suggest opulence with sophisticated luxury in modern lines. Massive furniture, simple in form, gives fundamentality and significance to the look of the bedroom interior, large patterns on the surface of the walls, textile accessories and soft lighting make the room a little pompous and elegant. nine0005
Decorative accessories are selected from patterned textiles or velvet in the form of stylish pillows and similar curtains.
Art Nouveau
Catchy and bold, somewhat aristocratic and sophisticated style suggests smooth, curved lines. They are used in the silhouettes of furniture, repeated in the contours of the stretch ceiling, door and window openings.
Fine wood of the elegantly curved legs and sides of the furniture can be combined with marble inlays and glass surfaces. It is absolutely unacceptable to use "cheap" materials in modernity, it will look tasteless. nine0005
Stained-glass windows in doorways are the most recognizable element of Art Nouveau, the light flowing through them will add mystery to the room.
Minimalism
Minimalism is the best choice for decorating a small modern bedroom, but it can also be used in a large space if desired.
The most necessary pieces of furniture, literally a bed and a bedside table, the complete absence of draperies and trinkets organize the sleeping space without the effect of clutter. nine0005
Loft
Sometimes you want to combine the incongruous, that's what it is, the loft style! Home comfort and street design elements organically interact with each other, creating the most open space with a well-organized seating area. An ideal room for embodying the loft style would be a spacious and bright bedroom.
Steel lamps and blinds will perfectly complement the interior of the bedroom.
Scandinavian
North European interiors stand out from other styles with a minimum of color. Such an option as white on white (white walls, white ceiling and white floor), or with the addition of warm shades (laminate under light oak, walnut or maple). Textured wood and textured stucco - that's what can create a unique look, allow the interior to be elegant, and contrasting color spots - not boring. nine0005
Eco-friendly wood and natural fabrics will promote sound and healthy sleep and pleasant awakening. The photo perfectly shows the combination of wood and soft fabric.
Scandinavian style advocates a minimal amount of decorative items, but allows for a few posters or photographs on the walls.
Techno
The techno style was originally conceived for the appearance of facades and office premises, a bedroom in this style looks not only unusual, but also uncomfortable, it is more difficult to equip it than to apply other styles, and such bedrooms are most often chosen by teenagers or bachelors .
nine0005
So that the techno-style bedroom does not look like a state institution, it is better to add at least a few details from the loft to it.
Hi-tech
Hi-tech, as a follower of late modernism, includes the introduction of new technologies in interior design. Bedrooms in this style are functional and comfortable. Here, designers actively use modular and multifunctional furniture, which is easy to fit into any, even very unusual, room configuration.
Silver - blue, metallic - gray, blue - that's the color palette that is inherent in high-tech style. Combining them with beige or white will refresh and bring a fresh touch, and one or two paintings with abstraction will balance and make the interior complete. nine0005
Oriental
Oriental refers to Japanese and Turkish styles, the former will be completely devoid of frills, this is not just a stylization of the traditions of Japan, but a whole philosophy in red, black and white.
Materials used are wood and bamboo, curtains are always made of silk, porcelain and stone as accents.
The Turkish style is also oriental and involves the use of canopies and light, flowing fabrics.
Provence
It can be considered one of the varieties of rustic style, it always uses pastel shades and natural materials with floral motifs. nine0005
Lots of knick-knacks and potted flowers, chintz curtains and light-coloured furniture make the bedroom light and airy, despite its size.
Country
Country is another subspecies of rustic, associated with hunting lodges and American ranches, but it is, first of all, an eco-friendly style, as close as possible to nature. The design concept is the use of natural materials in open structures and finishes. Such bedrooms are most often equipped in country cottages. A fireplace, the facade of which is made of raw stone, can become a wonderful accent here. nine0005
Features of the bedroom decoration
The direct purpose of any bedroom is to give you the opportunity to relax, sleep, rejuvenate.
Based on these needs, its design should promote relaxation and soothing, so the interior is created balanced and harmonious.
Walls
The main criterion for vertical surfaces is their clear geometry and perfectly aligned walls.
Wallcoverings can be both glossy and velvety, the former will meet the requirement of cleanliness, while the latter will emphasize the purpose of the room for relaxation. Unlike the walls of the living room or kitchen, bright, flashy colors are not used in the bedrooms at all, preference is given to pastel calm shades, soothing and relaxing. nine0005
Frescoes and textured finishes are also an up-to-date solution for wall decoration, while transoms and door inserts can decorate stained-glass windows.
Modern design allows for the presence of raw stone and non-plastered walls in different styles, if the designer's idea requires it. Wood trim at the head of the bed is also a significant accent in the space of the room.
Ceiling
For all styles, except for techno and country, the ceiling of the bedroom should be open, without overhanging beams and slats, the only accent here would be a beautiful chandelier.
nine0005
Modern trends make it possible to make the ceiling two-layered, as an option, with a mirror surface, which is drawn in by a special curtain on rollers - rails, which is controlled by mood at the touch of a button. Multi-layer plasterboard ceilings are a thing of the past, but stucco rosettes for chandeliers and high cornices continue to be successfully used in decoration.
Floor
Wood, cork or laminate - these are the main modern floorings that meet the requirements of cleanliness and comfort. For an additional feeling of comfort and softness, the use of carpet is allowed. nine0005
Furniture and lighting
A bed and bedside tables, a wardrobe or chest of drawers, various ottomans should be, first of all, comfortable and practical. If the bedroom is not large, then the closet or wardrobe can be taken out of it, but for convenience, if there is free space, it will still not be superfluous to fit a wardrobe into the interior of the room, built-in furniture will also be an ideal option.
Mirrors will add mystery and visually push the boundaries of the walls, and mirrored cabinet fronts make massive furniture almost invisible. It has become a fashionable trend to use glass bedside tables instead of the usual cabinets. nine0005
When installing lighting, you can use:
- floor lamps;
- table and bedside lamps;
- ceiling chandeliers.
Decor and accessories
Excessive focus on small details leads to congestion, does not allow you to enjoy a comfortable rest and does not allow your eyes to relax.
Decorative panels and murals with popular themes of urbanism, abstraction or macro photography can be used as the main accent on the walls, they will also be appropriate on furniture facades, imitation of brick or stone, wood trim is also suitable. This will make it possible to highlight the bedside area. nine0005
Curtains in the bedroom can be unusual, bright filament, in the form of a mesh with a large mesh, roller-type curtains with a print matched in the same style as the furniture.
Potted plants or bouquets in vases are a wonderful refreshment.
Walls can be made less boring with clocks, built-in lighting, framed photographs or paintings, modern graphics and lightweight glass or plastic shelves.
Spots of color add variety and compensate for the lack of color, they can easily become blankets and pillows, bedspreads and paintings. nine0005
Design options for a small bedroom
Small bedrooms, oddly enough, are more comfortable than large and spacious ones. Most often they are found in apartments with a typical layout. The easiest way to arrange them in a rustic style. Natural materials used in the decoration of such rooms give a feeling of warmth and security.
If rustic styles are not acceptable, high-tech options can be considered. Keeping the balance and not overloading the already cramped space, you can get a cozy and stylish bedroom. nine0005
Modern loft means large areas, but modern will be very useful. Modern is universal, furniture in this style is simple and does not clutter up the room, it can even be built-in.
Regarding lighting, Art Nouveau has no special requirements, so this style is appropriate for any area, the main thing to remember is that the fewer items in a small bedroom, the visually it looks larger.
For a bedroom with an area of 12 sq.m, all of the above options are suitable, and here, as in the case of 8 sq.m, pompous classics with elaborate baroque elements will be out of place, but it’s already easier to decorate the room under country, Scandinavian style or minimalism. nine0005
If there are large windows, it will be enough to “play” with the texture in the design of white walls and a white or light floor, adding furniture of the same color to the composition, and a soothing Scandinavian interior will appear.
Rotatable headboard lights can completely replace overhead lighting in a small bedroom, while built-in wall niches can replace bedside tables.

A bedroom in a modern style is a great option for those who appreciate comfort, coziness, as well as minimalist aesthetics. Today we will analyze in detail how to bring it to life. nine0005
Style Features
Modern style reflects current design trends and is not limited to a strict set of expressive means. He is in contradiction with the classics, denying its penchant for decorativeness, strict adherence to a certain composition, as well as established canons.
The direction is built around the concept of a comfortable, cozy, functional living space, in which every detail is a logical addition to the space.
It is characterized by minimalism - it is reflected in a laconic set of expressive means and focusing on lines, shapes, texture or texture. At the same time, the style will become an excellent “canvas” for interesting design experiments, as well as bright inclusions, harmoniously balanced by other objects. nine0005
To think over the design of a modern bedroom, following several principles that emphasize the balance of aesthetics and practical content will help:
- As already mentioned, clear lines and shapes should be visible in furniture, decor or ornament, which create visual harmony in the room.
- The use of accessories and a variety of decorations is allowed, but they must be as practical as possible, and also consistent with the design concept.
- Comfort in the "contemporary" means a lot of light and space for movement. However, it perfectly adapts to interiors with complex geometries, helping to hide imperfections. nine0005
- The discreet color scheme consists of natural, pleasant tones that can set off bright fragments.
- Emphasis on the texture of coatings: deep wood grain, decorative plaster structure, stylish matte or futuristic gloss.
When designing a bedroom, it is recommended to pay attention to current trends and modern materials that will emphasize the room's belonging to today.
Colors
nine0004 Colors in the interior are not just an artistic component that evokes certain emotions in the audience. They form the atmosphere of the home, mood, even affect the activity of the household. Therefore, in choosing the main palette, it is better to put personal preferences in second place, and leave the features of perception and decorative possibilities in the first place. We have identified several solutions that will definitely fit into the modern style.Modern white bedroom
Interior in white tones is a kind of classic design that will never go out of style. Color can completely dominate the palette or be used as a universal background for other solutions.

A variety of textures, shapes and interesting light sources will help to avoid the effect of sterile space. You can go in the direction of minimalism or add decorative items, which proves the variability of the usual white.
Modern style black bedroom
Stylish color that will help outline the room, creating a feeling of intimacy and comfort. The characteristic gloom that many are afraid to use black can be avoided by fitting it correctly into the bedroom. nine0005
In homes with a large area, you can choose black for finishing one or more walls, and in small spaces, limit yourself to a few objects - for example, a bed in the center of the room, emphasizing the overall composition.
Modern gray bedroom
Gray is perfect for a modern style bedroom that needs a discreet, calming environment that promotes sound sleep. The choice in the direction of not saturated shades will allow you to activate attention on the subject content of the room, and the interweaving of several bright objects will create an interesting visual effect.
The alternation of dark and light tones will give more volume to the interior. nine0005
Modern Beige Bedroom
One of the most optimal solutions for the bedroom is beige - gentle, calm, pleasant to perceive and varied. You can choose a palette of milky, nutty, caramel, coffee shades, play with the contrast of warm or cold tones, combine with other natural varieties, decorating the bedroom with a natural, comfortable atmosphere.
Highlights
The colors listed above are neutral options, which means that they go well with many bright colors, balancing them gently. nine0005
For example, colorful landscapes look good against the background of white walls. They balance yellow, orange, red, which look too colorful on their own in the interior. Warm tones can be adjacent to black, and gray will highlight their saturation.
Bedroom finishes
Modern style tends to natural, high-quality, practical materials that can adapt to the microclimate of the room.
In the case of the bedroom, there are no special requirements, except for environmental friendliness: harmful coatings in the space where a person rests can adversely affect health. In addition, you can pick up unusual options, for example, a brick or concrete wall. nine0005
Floor
It is rare to find a carpeted floor within the direction. Most likely it will be a small rectangular carpet that highlights a certain area, but does not hide the imperfections of the surface.
You can also turn to the usual parquet or laminate - other types in the bedroom will look out of place. These options offer a wide range of shades and textures that will fit into any gamut.
It is recommended to pay attention to the cork floor - it is pleasant to the touch, soft, has good insulating properties. Unfortunately, the coating is susceptible to deformation from high loads or friction, so it is worth buying it for bedrooms that are used exclusively for relaxation. nine0005
Walls
It is much more difficult to decide on the choice of material for the walls, since many types will fit into the style.
It can be traditional paint, breathable wallpaper, decorative plaster, brickwork or wood paneling.
If the plans include decorating the walls with bright finishing textures, it is better to enter them in the form of separate fragments. For example, a floral wall murals can decorate the side that adjoins the bed, while others can be painted in a neutral shade. The combination of different finishing coatings is also characteristic of the modern trend. nine0005
Ceiling
The decoration of the ceiling in the bedroom should be the most minimalistic - a fairly flat surface, painted white. Any flaws can be hidden behind suspended structures - they are also perfect for mounting fixtures.
Furniture
The key object of any bedroom is the bed - it is around it that the whole composition of the interior is usually built. This piece of furniture will either stand along a wide wall if one person lives here, or at the opposite end of the room, leaving room for movement.
nine0005
The bed has a simple design and construction. The emphasis is on pastel linen, and not forged elements, as in the classic style.
If the bedroom area allows, you can add a small sofa and an armchair. Often the room includes a work area with a table.
For a dressing room, it is worth giving up bulky chests of drawers, giving preference to popular wardrobes, which take up little space and visually expand the bedroom with the help of plain facades. A floor rack for clothes will look modern, showing the most beautiful things from the owner's wardrobe. nine0005
Decor and lighting
Modern style bedroom accessories and decorations are functional items or art objects that emphasize the character of the room. Neutral walls make a great backdrop for abstract canvases, posters, or family photos, which are often the brightest component of a space.
It is worth paying attention to textiles - curtains, the smooth silhouette of which will outline large windows and bring a sense of comfort even to a white minimalist bedroom, beautiful pastel linen, pillows or sofa upholstery.
By choosing a rich shade for such details, you can diversify the “sterile” interior. nine0005
Mirrors, "carelessly" placed against the wall, will add volume to the room. Figured flower pots will enliven the bedroom.
It is recommended to consider multilevel lighting. In addition to the central source, which is used during the active time of the day, local lamps will create subdued, relaxing lighting, and will also serve as decorative objects if you choose stylish models with interesting shapes.
Small modern style bedroom
nine0004 Of course, it is preferable to design spacious rooms in a modern style, but it can adapt to any layout, turning even a small bedroom into a cozy place to relax. To do this, you just need to follow a few simple rules: 1. The color scheme should consist mainly of light, neutral shades. It is better to leave bright colors for decoration or paint one wall with their help - for example, to correct the geometry of the room.
2. Matte finishes are preferable to glossy ones, and one large mirror will create the effect of “continuing” the bedroom. nine0005
3. It is necessary to confine oneself to a simple set of furniture: a bed, a closet, several bedside tables. The workplace should be compact, but comfortable. A small table can be placed on a protruding windowsill or combined with another item. Transforming models, furniture sets and two-story structures are relevant within the framework of the style.
4. Since the decor visually divides the room, you should limit yourself to a few bright details, focusing on the practical content of the bedroom. Thanks to its compact size, even a laconic interior will seem cozy and interesting. nine0005
