Stylish Bedroom Designs You’ve Never Dreamed Of

Stylish bedroom designs are all about a well-chosen color scheme. And while furnishings can certainly make it appear more well-designed, its canvas – the background – sets the tone for it all. This choice can be difficult, but once you’re settled on the hues, the rest is a matter of layering up.

Dark Contemporary

White works wonders both on its own as well as with other colors – dark, neutral, or bright. Modern designers like to create dynamic with a contrast between white and usually dramatic dark shades of grey, black, and navy. It works amazingly well, and requires little help from other decorations.

There’s a lot of drama in dark color alone, so you really don’t need much to pull off the stylish sombre look. Though velvet upholstered bed frames and fur throws do help.

You have to balance dark shades and light tones so that the room doesn’t look too dark and boxy or indecisive.

Pale Serenity

Stylish bedroom designs often come in one color or a monochromatic color scheme. It looks good. There is simply no way around it. White walls amplified by daylight invite all kinds of design solutions from bold contrasts to gentle neutrality.

All of these rooms have one thing in common – plenty of daylight. A boxed-in white bedroom sans windows may often look a bit hospital-like.

You can really work on a blank canvas. Even if you don’t have a lot of experience decorating, a white room is easier to turn into something stylish.

Grey Area

Grey is another easy color to work with. It is important not to overdo it, but there is a big chance of success with a monochromatic grey color scheme. Balancing it out with white is simple and easy, and black only punctuates the fluidity of this stylish neutral hue.

There are a lot of ways to use grey in bedroom design. There is a popular choice in an upholstered bed frame, but you can go further to make it more interesting.

Ann Lowengart picked a great wallpaper design to accentuate an entry wall, which in itself is unexpected and fresh.

Bright Accents

Most stylish bedroom designs don’t avoid color completely. There are always a few accents in view, but utilizing color power is only rational, if you prefer the energizing look in place of a soothing atmosphere. Punchy hues can bring plenty of character and style to the interior, you just have to figure out what works best for your design.

Bright stools, end benches, armchairs, and poufs have the most favorable look when done in brights. Upholstery texture adds depth to those colors, preventing blandness and flatness.

Printed rugs and bed linens, on the other hand, are more dynamic and playful. They aren’t as expensive, and can give you ideas for more cool accents.

Stylish Bedroom Designs in Eclectic Style

Eclectic style is very popular right now, as enthusiasm for home decor skyrockets. It’s a perfect solution, when you don’t know which style to choose or simply don’t want to make that choice. Contemporary elements mix very well with Art Deco, Moroccan, and rustic styles.

Modernism looks updated and fresh with contemporary elements in the picture. There is no wrong combination of style, there may only be the wrong combination of things, colors.

Stylish Color Play

Color play doesn’t have to be super contrasting. It can mild but stylish still. Muted brights and faded dark shades look like a match made in heaven. Equally, muted brights and pale neutrals is a whole other venue for you to play in.

The main perk of the contrasting muted brights is that they can extend around a room, and not overwhelm it. You can also throw in stronger accents there.

Neutrals can often seem boring, but with the colors of slightly stronger intensity, they may shine like you’ve never expected.

Focal Points

A bedroom is one big focal point. Since it often only has a bed and a nightstand, bedroom doesn’t get a proper focal point in the room. Change that up by opting for a strong focal point like a headboard or a cool bed frame.

It can also be a painting, a feature wall, or a window, but there better be something, if you want your design to shine.

The easiest way is, of course, painting the feature wall, but there are many other solutions like the one by InArch, for example.

Stylish Bedroom Designs

There is a lot to learn from modern bedroom designs. They are all about amplifying your bedroom’s advantages, and minimizing downsides. Got exposed brick walls? Paint them to give them more pop. Low ceiling? Forget chandeliers, and opt for a ceiling fan.

Simplicity is one of the latest trends we love in bedroom design, so no need to sweat over the budget on this one.

Stylish bedroom designs can look really different. Scandinavian simplicity is just as impressive as luxurious fashion centrism, if done correctly.
