20 Modern Bedroom Design Ideas

Whether it be a calm place to read or a space only for sleep, your room is a special place made just for and all about you! Here are some modern bedroom design ideas to help you keep the noise of life out, keep the clutter to a minimum, and give you space to create an aesthetic unique to you. 

1. Keep it minimal with all white

This all white bedroom keeps things clean, neat and simple. The textured ceiling and bed spread add depth to the plain white room.

5. Paint walls fully in color

Fully colored walls are often lost in modern design, but this home makes great use of saturated yellow to keep things cheery in contrast with the dark stained wooden beams and door frames.

6. Bring back ornate wallpaper

Wallpaper is back in, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing! Ornate patterned wallpaper allows you to blend styles while also adding some diversity to the room.

8. Add in an accent chair

9. Try a floating bed frame

This idea is not for everyone, but for those that are good at keeping the space under the bed free from storage, a floating bed frame is a great way to lighten up the space and really bring an airy feel to a room.

12. Decorate with shading

Black and gray are nice shades for bases and accents, but it’s always a good idea to make sure that it works for the space. This room makes great use of black as an accent from the exposed beams to the pendant lamps and artwork, and even on the bedspread.

14. Pick a color and go with it

This all-blue bedroom is a great example of doing, but not overdoing. Use different shades of the same color to add depth and transition visual moments between light and heavy.

15. Add in some extra furniture pieces

Having in room entertainment is a great way to unwind. Oftentimes televisions are oddly positioned in bedrooms, so be sure to find a credenza that compliments the length of the room and your bed.

In total, the property features four bedrooms, many of which lead directly to the backyard.

16. Use long curtains to frame windows

Curtains are an affordable way to expand the height of a room. Although this bedroom is a little tight, the long curtains direct attention to the light filled window and give the illusion of high ceilings.

17. Install a storage wall

Built in bedroom wardrobes are efficient in keeping clutter to a minimum. This full wall wardrobe is great because it encases the bed for a bit of privacy while also functionally replacing the bedside table with hidden compartments.

18. Embrace a little bit of maximalism

Its okay to have things, like your things, and want to show off your things! This room keeps things maximal while also maintaining circulation space and a peachy tonal ambiance. These homeowners have a collection of handmade, reclaimed, and vintage materials that were globally sourced that they like to show throughout the interior spaces.
