For most of us, the bedroom is the most cherished space in our homes. On average people spend more of their time at home in the bedroom than in any other single room. One would expect therefore, that more thought would be put into design and furniture choices in the bedroom than anywhere else. In fact, people spend more time decorating living room and kitchen spaces, with the bedroom often ending up as a design afterthought. We’re here to rectify that, by summarising a variety of design styles and options to help reinvigorate your bedroom.
Modern and Minimalist Design
This style focuses on clean lines, neutral colours, and functional furniture. For the bed, consider a white double ottoman bed and make use of the extra storage if space is limited. Nightstands should be simple and floating to keep the look uncluttered. A freestanding wardrobe with a minimalist design or a built-in closet with clean lines fits well. For storage, you can use hidden solutions like under-bed drawers or shelving units. To stay on budget, look for functional, multipurpose furniture that minimizes clutter.
Bohemian (Boho) Style
Bohemian style is eclectic and full of rich colours and natural textures. Consider a low-profile bed frame or even a floor mattress with a canopy or drapes overhead for a relaxed vibe. Nightstands can be simple wooden or wicker pieces, adorned with baskets, plants, and vintage trinkets. Adding hanging lights, such as boho-style pendant lights or fairy lights, will enhance the cozy atmosphere. Rattan or wicker furniture complements the natural, earthy feel.
Scandinavian Style
Scandinavian design is known for its simple, functional, and aesthetically pleasing furniture with light woods and cozy textiles. A white or light wood bed frame with clean lines and a padded headboard fits perfectly in this style. Floating nightstands can help save space while maintaining a minimalist look. Wool throws and cushions in neutral tones like white, grey, or pastel colours add warmth and texture to the room. Practical storage pieces, such as baskets, open shelving, or under-bed storage, complete the design.
Mid-Century Modern Style
This style is characterized by retro-inspired furniture with geometric shapes, vibrant colours, and clean lines. A low bed frame with thin wooden legs and a simple, clean design fits perfectly in a mid-century modern bedroom. Retro nightstands with angular shapes, often featuring a pop of colour or metallic hardware, complement the look. Mid-century lounge chairs with wooden legs and bright upholstery add a playful touch. Geometric rugs and artwork can help tie the room together with bold patterns.
