Whether your style tends towards boho or modern, we have 8 designer tips and tricks to quickly raise your bedroom without tearing down walls or racking up a high bill. These pieces and ideas cover everything you need to create your most comfortable, luxurious and personal bedroom ever.
Bedrooms can be a challenge for those of us with a slightly modern aesthetic. How can a space that is essentially full of pillows and soft bedding also be a masterpiece of design? Fortunately, its not an impossible dilemma: these modern bedrooms will give you all the inspiration you need.
1. A STATEMENT BED FRAME
Give your personal space some glamour with a statement bed frame. From four-posts to platforms to dramatic curtains, the options for a chic piece of furniture are endless.
2. CREATIVE HEADBOARDS
If you grow tired of things easily, using a statement art piece as a creative headboard lets you update your room to fit every season and mood. The bright monochromatic art piece stands out beautifully against illuminated walls in a dark finish.
3. LAYERED BEDDING
Layering is key to a beautiful bed. It gives your space an instantly glamorous upgrade, plus you'll be beyond cozy in the wintertime.
4. CREATIVE STORAGE
The end of your bed is a perfect and unsuspecting spot to fit in more storage. A vintage clothing trunk steals the decor spotlight while also giving you much-needed space and serving as a nightstand.
5. A VARIETY OF TEXTURES
When you think of textures you may think on your plush bedding or fluffy rug, but don't forget the rest of your room. This room incorporates texturized wallpaper, ceiling and door moldings, a quilted headboard, different fabrics for seats, cushions and bedding and even for the accessories such as the lamps and flower base.
6. DESIGNATED WORK AREA
Although most designers would advise against working in your bedroom, that's not always a reality. Designate a specific work area in your room, preferably as far from your bed as possible, so that you don't feel guilty for finishing up paperwork.
7. MONOCHROMATIC LOOK
Sticking to one light color is an easy way to make a small bedroom feel less claustrophobic. One thing to remember about a monochromatic color scheme is that it doesn't have to be the exact same shade repeated over and over throughout the room. In fact, it's much more effective if you use one color in different shades, textures and fabrics.
8. A SEATING AREA
A good spot to sit down will serve you well when you're reading, need to have a conversation, or just to have an area to unwind.
