Bedroom Design Ideas
1. French Touch In Antique Bedroom
This antique cast-iron bed is dressed up with a Martha Stewart Collection cable-knit throw and a French Laundry Home duvet cover.
An Anthropologie teacup light sits atop the turned-leg nightstand for a graceful, elegant touch.
2. Focus On Organic Texture And Raw Material
Keep the palette neutral and emphasize organic textures like plenty of linen and rope.
Use natural materials like metal, wood, and stone to maintain the laid-back ambiance of country superstar Ronnie Dunn’s Tennessee barn house.
Above the tufted burlap headboard in the master bedroom, an antique barn door track is repurposed as a picture rail.
3. Go For Muted Tones

Behr’s Pure White was used on the ceiling, and Sherwin-Williams’ Latte was used on the walls.
4. Make Your Bedroom Breezy
Custom linen drapes frame waterfront vistas in this Cape Cod home’s main bedroom. Benjamin Moore’s Patriotic White was used to paint the walls.
5. Get A Murphy Bed
Imagine being like a boutique hotel when decorating a tiny bedroom. The plush towels, reading lights, and wait, is that a pull-down bed?
Your far-flung friends—a.k.a. air mattress devotees—will appreciate the fluffy towels, reading lights, and wait, is that a pull-down bed?
6. Add Golden Accent To Your Bedroom
The centerpiece of the master bedroom in this Arizona ranch home is a 1950s brass Hollywood Regency headboard that the homeowner found at a local antique store.
Its metallic finish was the inspiration for the room’s other golden highlights, which ranged from the campaign details on the nightstand to the 1960s tufted yellow bench.
7. Display The Art
Instead of editing down a big collection of artwork, this California homeowner developed a gallery wall that spans from the crown molding to the baseboards.
This approach allows for every prized possession to be displayed.
8. Get a Traditional Bedroom
Warm white chenille blankets and pillows warm up 1920s Czechoslovakian sheet-metal beds, against milky walls.
9. Go For White Minimalist Bedroom
A mid-1800s spindle bed, frequently called a Jenny Lind after the famed Swedish singer of the time who toured America in a P.T.
Barnum production feels complete in this bedroom inside an upstate New York mansion. A plant stand can be repurposed into a side table.
10. Bring Nature Into Your Master Bedroom
The singer-songwriter Holly Williams’ bedroom has a foggy grey ceiling with pine cladding.
The room’s centerpiece, a Restoration Hardware wrought-iron canopy bed, matches an antique bed that belonged to her maternal grandmother.
Holly added a rustic leather club chair and a modest pine chest to the feminine space. Brass sconces provide a pleasant glow while keeping tabletops free of clutter.
11. Use Salvaged Headboard
Matthew Gleason, a stylist, turned a salvaged door on its side to create a distinctive headboard.
To make installation easy, attach the door directly to the wall and couple it with a simple platform bed.
12. White And Blue Bedroom
As seen in the master bedroom of this rural Connecticut farmhouse, patterned linens offer dimension to light, bright areas.
The impression is nevertheless modest, despite the homeowner’s use of numerous patterns—windowpane plaid, vertical and horizontal stripes—due to the uniform palette.
13. Modern Guest Bedroom With Rustic Feel
Rustic, wooded homes get a new lease on life with fresh, white decor.
An L.L. Bean plaid blanket draped over an iron bed from Bear Mountain Mercantile adds color and pattern to a guest room.
14. Go For Gray Bedroom
Neko Case’s upholstered bed is dressed with an Ikea duvet, an Eileen Fisher blanket and shams, and an Urban Outfitters needlepoint dog cushion.
In London, she bought the wallpaper from Cole & Son in the United Kingdom.
15. Use Spindle Furniture For Bed
While this inviting bedroom gets a dose of character from multiple patterns, the real showstopper is the bed frame’s bold spindle design, a classic country style of furniture that’s making a comeback.
16. Cottage Bedroom
The ancient wrought-iron beds in one of this Nantucket cottage’s bedrooms are adorned with century-old quilts in Pinwheel (left) and Bear’s Paw patterns.
The Weaving Room’s new rag rug was weaved by local craftsmen, and the demijohn lamp came from an antique shop.
17. Be Color Passionate
Martyn Lawrence Bullard, the designer, isn’t frightened of color, and neither should you.
A vivid blue blanket and patterned wallpaper go wonderfully with a seafoam green four-poster bed.
18. Bring The Outdoors In
While the brown, black, and grey accents of this lake home’s master bedroom may appear quiet, the neutral palette allows the stunning view outside the windows to take center stage.
19. Rustic White Bedroom
In this rustic bedroom, railroad trestles were used as beams. A flea market oil painting guards the old iron bed, which is draped in a Pottery Barn fisherman-knit blanket.
20. Use pink Accent In Kids’ Bedroom
An Aero cotton throw and a quilt from Thomas O’Brien’s first Target line liven up the 19th-century iron bed. Pottery Barn Kids made the slip-covered rocker.
21. Try Layered Pattern
Don’t undervalue the importance of a soft-spoken accent. In this blue-and-white bedroom, soft pink pillow shams and glass knobs play an essential supporting role.
Accessories in slightly brighter tones of pink (a book, a basket, and a blanket) add a little extra oomph to the outfit.
22. Mix The Patterns
Start by painting your walls and trim a bright white for a pop-up bedroom, like this Texas guest room. Then, using a rug and an upholstered headboard, introduce graphic motifs.
Adding all-white linen to the top of the bed helps the patterns stand out even more. To keep the style fitted and classy, choose pieces of incomparable colors.
23. Have a Cozy Treehouse Gateway
The space around this iron bed, which was once in a guest room in the main home, was designed by the owners of this Nashville treehouse.
The pillow’s material, barkcloth, is fittingly called considering its surroundings.
24. Be Classic

25. Use Neutral Texture
Designer James Farmer used a relaxing grasscloth for the walls in this Georgia bedroom, then added further levels of texture with a woven headboard and a wall arrangement of rattan basket trays.
26. Try Modern Pattern
The walls of this bedroom are covered with painted chalkboard stripes. On top of the Room & Board bed, a Ratzer checkered blanket provides texture to Nancy Koltes’ linens.
Oilcloth is used to cover an estate sale bench.
27. Go Neutral
At night, white, khaki, and light blue shades provide the impression of a larger space (a particularly welcome touch in a shared room).
Layer patterns inside the scheme to add interest.
28. Use Waverly Wallpaper
The owner of this Washington property decorated the master bedroom walls with inexpensive Waverly wallpaper she bought online.
A $89 Target duvet cover on a Thomasville bed is paired with $127 in Pottery Barn cushions.
29. Use Cozy Materials
Ashley wanted this space to have an “all-in, cocoon-like vibe.”
The master bedroom of this Alabama cabin feels warm and is lived in, with long drapes, a tufted headboard, comforting bedding, and a range of soft hues and patterns.
30. Go for Floral Print
The owner’s parents bought the oak bed in England in the 1970s, and it’s a handsome counterpoint to the room’s frill factor, consistent with the little home’s overall aesthetic.
31. Give A Touch Of Blue In Your Mater Bedroom
The master bedroom of this New York farmhouse is charming thanks to a mix of salvaged materials, antique furniture, and vintage artwork.
Blue accents—the painted vase, printed pillows, and striped quilt—continue the color thread that runs throughout the house, creating a unified, peaceful effect.
32. Go for Country Blues
A large wash of blue can feel as if it’s raining. The large-scale print on the headboard acts as a jumping-off point for the room’s striking mix of patterns.
The comforter’s tiny checks look coherent, not clashing, in a smaller scale and lighter hue. The bed’s double dosage of white-painted walls is balanced out by ornately patterned pillows.
Carr of @dreamywhiteslifestyle knows a thing about how to style an all-white space.
The master bedroom in her light-filled California home is saturated with white tones, from white-painted planked walls to a white slipcovered chair to layers of soft and lovely white bedding.
She replaced the original closet door with a natural wood salvaged door, installed black oak herringbone flooring, and added a rustic pine bench to break up the sea of white.
Maria just hung an antique monogrammed tapestry as a simple and romantic bedroom starting point.
33. Make Your Bedroom Spring Dreamy
A vibrant blend of patterns and hues will liven up a drab environment.
A fun bedspread (Tatiana by Kathryn M. Ireland) serves as a springboard for other design elements, such as a chippy vintage whitewashed bed, which adds character to the room while keeping feminine designs from looking too prim.
The bold textiles stand out against the neutral wood paneling, and unexpected details like an antique hat mold on the lampshades give the area a unique atmosphere.

This room is a great example of blending old and new: A Martha Stewart for Macy’s cushion covers a 1940s mahogany four-poster bed, while an Ikea throw drapes across a set of 1920s English oak corner chairs.
The lamps on the turn-of-the-century side tables are from Home Goods.
37. Build Bedside Bookcase
If you have a small bedroom, consider replacing a floor-sucking bedside table with a narrow recessed built-in bookcase.
