The bedroom is a private space in which a person should feel as comfortable as possible. After all, it is in the bedroom that people can truly relax, restore strength after a working day, and be alone with themselves. Therefore, it is very important to create a cozy atmosphere in this room, conducive to a restful sleep and a pleasant stay. To create a beautiful, practical and functional bedroom design, you should study fashion trends and take advice from experts.  

Bedroom interior: design rules and design ideas

With the onset of each season, new trends appear in interior fashion - this also applies to bedroom design. Here are a few fashion trends that are at the peak of popularity in the spring of 2023:

• Compact furniture. Modern fashion is abandoning the use of bulky furniture in the bedroom in favor of compact poufs, coffee tables and squat beds. Laconic, low-rise furnishings will be especially appreciated by owners of modest-sized rooms who want to add light and volume to the room.
• Bedroom tinting in the “Sepia” style. A popular method among photographers for processing photographs, allowing them to imitate antiquity, inspired design specialists to design original interiors. In the interior a la sepia, the central place is occupied by aged surfaces, vintage decorative items, muted shades - as a result, the bedroom will resemble a luxurious boudoir depicted in an old photograph.
• Black and white color ensemble of the bedroom. Currently, monochrome design in the bedroom is regaining its former popularity. The amount of black and white should be approximately the same. To soften these active colors, it is worth adding a couple of accents to the bedroom interior in warm, eye-pleasing colors, for example, a pink lamp, beige bedside tables.
• Soft bedroom walls. Those who love original details in the bedroom can refuse to decorate the walls with plaster or wallpaper, giving preference to 3D panels coated with textiles. This solution will create coziness in the bedroom, and the wall panels fit into the style of the modern room.
• Combination of textures. Fashion 2023 welcomes the combination of different materials and textures in the bedroom, even those that have always seemed incompatible. Terracotta brick and frosted glass, industrial concrete with cold metal, tactilely pleasant fabric and embossed plaster - the more courage and imagination the owners show, the more interesting the bedroom interior ensemble will look.

Another significant point is the decoration of the bedroom. To give your bedroom a complete look, it is important to choose the right decor for it. Fashionable elements of modern bedroom decor include moldings - volumetric strips of different sizes, often white, reminiscent of stucco. Placing moldings in the bedroom allows you to show your creativity: you can paint them, decorate them to your liking, and create various panels. In addition, with the help of moldings it will be possible to visually delimit the functional areas of the bedroom, mask surface flaws and emphasize the advantages of the layout.

When arranging the interior of the bedroom, it is recommended to take into account a few more rules:

1. The bedroom should be easy to breathe, so don’t clutter it with unnecessary things. Maximum of free space, light, visual lightness - exactly what is required for a comfortable and complete rest.
2. Particular attention should be paid to the choice of geometric shapes for the bedroom interior. The angular layout harmonizes perfectly with soft flowing lines and non-standard silhouettes. Round-shaped furnishings are also good in the bedroom: oval tables, bean bags, radial cabinets equipped with open and closed storage systems.
3. Ornaments and patterns in the bedroom should be on those items that you don’t mind getting rid of too much. Examples of such items are decorative pillows, rugs, and blankets. If you get tired of the pattern over time and want to update the bedroom interior, it will be enough to replace the textiles with something more modern.
4. An abundance of decor is not the best option for a comfortable bedroom. In the bedroom, it is enough to limit yourself to a few items that really create coziness: a fluffy blanket, a couple of paintings depicting abstraction or peaceful rural landscapes, a vase with a composition of artificial flowers or a bouquet of lavender, which will fill the bedroom with the aroma of summer and an atmosphere of carefree happiness.
   

   
   

5. The quality of bedroom lighting is also extremely important for a comfortable sleep. Unlike the living room, the bedroom does not necessarily have central lighting. If you still need a ceiling color, it is better to choose spotlights. Chandelier lovers should abandon outdated crystal models, replacing them with a compact chandelier of non-standard geometric shape. But what you really can’t do without in the bedroom are cozy metal and glass sconces, textile bedside lamps, floor lamps with a stand on which there is room for your favorite book and a glass of water.
6. Placing a mirror opposite the window will help add light to a darkened bedroom. The mirror surface will reflect the sun's rays, which will best reflect the bedroom interior.
7. The bedroom is one of the few rooms in which there must be a place for a carpet. The choice of carpet is limited only by the size of the bedroom and the canons of style. In a small bedroom, you can get by with a bright bedside rug, while an impressively sized bedroom can be decorated with a light carpet covering the entire room with medium-length pile. The configuration of the bedroom is also important. For example, asymmetrical products with an abstract pattern are suitable for square bedrooms, and a round or oval carpet will fit into the interior of an elongated bedroom.

I would also like to dwell on those things that you should not skimp on when arranging your bedroom. Firstly, these are the windows. 

Drafts and noise from the street will not allow you to get a good night's sleep, so it is worth installing high-quality double-glazed windows with reliable fittings and a good seal. 

Good window textiles are also necessary. These can be practical and easy-to-use Roman blinds or, for example, dimout fabric that blocks up to 70% of the light flux. If the bedroom is quite dark, the ideal choice would be weightless tulle in combination with cotton curtains.

What furniture is needed for a bedroom and how to choose it correctly

The key to comfort in the bedroom is well-chosen furniture. Stucco molding and elaborate decorations are inappropriate in the bedroom interior, but you can safely experiment with shapes, colors and textures.

Among other pieces of furniture that are indispensable in the bedroom, it is worth highlighting:

• A closet in which clothes, bed linen and various small items will be stored. If the bedroom is not large in size, a full-fledged wardrobe will successfully replace a chest of drawers. The furniture market offers a wide selection of wardrobes and chests of drawers for the bedroom, the main thing is that the storage furniture matches the overall concept. Many models of wardrobes and chests of drawers are equipped with mirror surfaces - a great opportunity to save on purchasing a free-standing mirror and free up space in the bedroom for more necessary pieces of furniture.
• Bedside tables and poufs in the bedroom. The purpose of the cabinets, which should be in a harmonious color scheme with the bed, is storage and easy access to things, which should always be at hand. Poufs are wonderful because you can not only sit on them or stretch your legs after a busy day, but also put a blanket, robe, or bed linen on them before making the bed. Some models of poufs have internal compartments - things are usually stored there for which there is no place in the closet.

If the space of the bedroom allows, it is worth complementing the interior with other pieces of furniture. Nice hanging shelves, banquettes, consoles, dressing tables will decorate the bedroom, and you can’t deny the functionality of such furniture elements.

Some people cannot fall asleep peacefully without watching TV before bed. You can place the TV in the bedroom on a bracket, a hanging cabinet without legs, or a low tabletop table with several drawers and internal sections. Their design in the bedroom should be laconic: carved nightstands are best left for the living room or other rooms.

The main requirements for bedroom furniture are environmental friendliness, functionality, calm colors, and the absence of sharp corners. For compact bedrooms, transforming models that perform several functions at once are indispensable. For example, a transforming wardrobe will turn into a full-fledged bed at night, and on a chest of drawers with a pull-out tabletop you can arrange a small romantic dinner before bed.

Color solutions in the bedroom interior

The color scheme also sets the desired atmosphere in the bedroom. There are no special restrictions when choosing colors for the bedroom, even if the owners like bright, saturated shades, it is quite acceptable to use them. However, some rules still need to be followed. You shouldn’t introduce a dozen colors into your bedroom interior at once - it will be difficult to fall asleep in such a flashy interior. It is much better to choose one loyal tone and dilute it with a couple of shades. It is advisable that the selected shades be close to each other on the color wheel, but you can also play with contrast.

The following are worth highlighting as universal color solutions for the bedroom:

1. Colors belonging to the light range: soft peach, beige, milky, ivory. These tones are good both for creating the main background of the bedroom and for accenting. White color is also successful, but to avoid the effect of sterility, it will have to be diluted with other shades: blue, lilac.
2. Neutral tones. The neutral group includes brown and all shades of gray, combined with both light and rich tones. Brown color schemes in the bedroom are, first of all, wood. It can be found almost anywhere: in furniture, decor, accent color panels located behind the head of the bed. Designers recommend choosing intermediate shades of brown (for example, walnut) for the bedroom.
3. Dark shades - blue, black, graphite. These colors are especially appropriate in well-lit bedrooms. But in any case, they must be present in the bedroom in doses, otherwise a lovingly furnished bedroom will look like a dark closet. Today, bedrooms are often decorated in somewhat unusual shades: chocolate, dark green, burgundy. Light colors will be good companions for such deep colors.
4. Bright shades: yellow, orange, turquoise, fuchsia. Each of them has its own advantages. The predominance of yellow in the bedroom has a positive effect on the psyche, and orange relieves nervous tension. So if household members love these colors, they can even be used as the main ones.
