10 Bedroom Ideas to Inspire The Space of Your Dreams
We spend a huge portion of our lives in our bedrooms—whether we're sleeping, relaxing, or just enjoying a lazy Sunday. So, it only makes sense to devote some time and energy to making our bedrooms the perfect escape, whatever that means for you. Whether you love to keep your spaces dark and moody or light and bright, there's a bedroom design idea sure to suit your style.
According to Decorist designer Sharon Leigh Copeland, creating a dreamy retreat is as easy as one, two, three.
"Making a bedroom relaxing and cozy takes three things: color, layers, and light," Copeland tells MyDomaine. "Cool grays, dreamy blues, and even luxurious lavender set the tone for blissful sleep and romance."
The other pieces of the puzzle include layered bedding and smart lighting.
"Layers are important because when you are in your bed, you want to feel the weight of a good pillow and softness of good bedding," Copeland explains. "Italian sheets, a soft duvet, and a textured accent throw really help you fall asleep. Layers of light are also important in any room. You need task light for reading, ceiling light for overall everyday light, and ambient light for those times you want to set the mood."

01 Think Vintage
Throw it back to your favorite decade with a design that feels effortlessly classic. This showstopping bedroom from Anne Sage makes use of art deco-style wallpaper and a DIY leather headboard straight from the 70s.
02 Play With Primary Colors
Take a cue from Maite Granada and follow the color wheel. Primary colors (blue, yellow, red) are a great starting point for your design. Granada uses blue and yellow to create a colorful bedroom that still gives off relaxing vibes.
03 Add Greenery
The secret to a relaxing night's sleep? Plenty of plants. Sara Toufali from Black and Blooms filled her bedroom with snake plants and pothos plants, filling the space with life and color. Be sure to choose plants based on the amount of light your bedroom receives.
04 Use Soothing Earth Tones
Terracotta is having a major moment. Cathie Hong Interiors filled this bedroom with calming tones reminiscent of Earth's beauty. If you love the look of an all-white bedroom but crave more color, this is the next best thing.
05 Don't Limit Yourself to One Layout
There are no hard and fast rules when laying out a bedroom. This bed fits perfectly between two windows, letting in so much light.
"I love the classy suit-stripe motorized roman shades, too," Decorist designer Luz Perez Brown of Willow and Jax says. "With the touch of a button, the shades rise in the morning and flood the room with beautiful natural light."
06 Create a Cozy Reading Nook
Every bookworm needs a dedicated reading spot. Follow Tate's lead and fill a corner of your bedroom with a cozy chair, adjustable light, and artwork.
07 Keep It Uncluttered
Organization is key to a zen bedroom. Cathie Hong Interiors only keeps the necessities on this side table. When everything is in its rightful place, you'll be able to rest easy.
08 Invest in a Luxe Headboard
A statement headboard makes a difference, even in the tiniest of bedrooms. This luxe green velvet headboard instantly elevates the small apartment bedroom, which was designed by House 9.
09 Let the Light In
While we prefer darkness to sleep, letting natural light in the bedroom in the mornings can help us wake up more easily. Hang breezy curtains like these used by Katie Hodges Design to make sure your bedroom gets plenty of light.
10 Consider a Warm Palette
If you want your bedroom to feel welcoming and homey, a warm palette might be the answer. Colors like pink, red, yellow, and orange bring out happiness, positivity, and energy, all useful vibes to experience first thing in the morning. If those aren't your favorite colors, consider adding a few touches of the palette, as Katie Hackworth Design has done here, to bring about the same effect.
