Out of all the rooms in your home, the bedroom is probably where you spend most of your time. After all, we do spend one-third of our life sleeping! Catching Zs aside, the bedroom is a haven for “me time” — that happy place where we can curl up, relax, and shut out the chaos of life (at least for a little while). And because of this, it’s more than okay to be a bit more selfish when it comes to decorating. On that note, let’s take a peek at what’s trending this year in bedrooms. Hopefully, you’ll find something that will help turn your bedroom into an ultimate sanctuary full of comfort that will welcome you to recharge any time of day.
1. Statement beds
This year, it’s all about statement beds. Specifically, canopy beds or eye-catching headboards. Canopy beds have that height that draws the eye upward, making a huge statement when you walk into the room. And, because they are becoming increasingly popular, the frames can be found in various materials, such as wood, metal, and even fabric.
When it comes to headboards, they can make a gorgeous focal point. In fact, an oversized, upholstered headboard can be as showstopping as an entire accent wall. Consider having a custom headboard made in a fabric you love and then tie it into the bedding with custom accent pillow covers in the same pattern.
2. Texture galore
In general, nothing quite stimulates the senses the way texture does. Textures add dimension and allow different elements to play off one another, keeping a room from falling flat. In the bedroom, texture is the perfect way to elevate the level of coziness. Not only do lush textures aid in a good night’s rest, but they also add beauty. For the most impact, consider using at least two different textures. An often overlooked area for adding texture is with draperies. Gone are the days of boring master bedrooms and guestrooms. Don’t be afraid to spice it up!
Keep in mind, however, that textures don’t have to be confined to the bed. For instance, textured furniture, such as dressers with fluted fronts, is incredibly popular this year. The same goes for furniture rich with textural elements including wood tones, woven rattan, and cane webbing.
3. Seating areas
If room permits, create a functional, yet charming seating area in your bedroom. Again, it’s all about texture, so focus on accent chairs made from materials that provide visual interest. This is also your chance to make a bold statement so don’t hesitate to have accent chairs upholstered in a fabric that complements the space.
4. Powerful patterns
Patterns can be a challenge for some people to embrace, which makes the bedroom the perfect place to play with them. The bedroom is private compared to the rest of the rooms in the home, so why not indulge a little by incorporating some eye-catching prints? Whether your style is big and bold or something a bit more demure, there is an abundance of patterned fabrics out there to suit.
5. Mindful lighting
Lighting is so much more than a tool to illuminate what we need to see. Lighting can set a mood, whether it’s to add drama or a sense of calm. Lighting can also change the appearance of colors within the space, and even affect the spatial aspects of the room. While lamps can certainly still be used, wall sconces are becoming more popular as they take up less space and act as the “jewelry” of the room.
