Cool Modern Bedroom Decor

Warm neutral bedroom

Rich cream and gold accent tones give this small bedroom a cosy and intimate feel. The bird print wallpaper and floral curtains add femininity. 

 

Black-and-grey bedroom

With soft grey in the background of this bedroom, bold black accessories - the bedspread, the rug - create a sophisticated, rather than dark look.

 

Caramel bedroom with fabric walls

Fabric walls and a deep-pile silk carpet give instant glamour to this relaxing neutral bedroom. The caramel colours bring a real sense of warmth and luxury to the room. 

 

Nude-coloured bedroom

Layers of texture give this neutral bedroom palette depth and warmth. The buttoned headboard gives the bed real presence, and adds to the classic feel of the room. 

 

Chic bedroom headboard

Reveal the glamorous side of linen by choosing a glossy finish to upholster a headboard - in a plain colour, the soft sheen is chic, not chintzy. Up the glam factor with buttoning and by taking the headboard up high.

 

Arts and crafts bedroom

Walls in an elegant grey provide a soft backdrop for a mix of original arts, crafts and retro details in this bedroom. Soft white bed linen and neutral accessories complement an original marble fireplace. The bright soft furnishings, like the cushion and throw, lift the colour scheme.

 

Modern urban-style bedroom

Cream walls and a white leather headboard, matched with a black throw and mirror, create a modern look in this bedroom. The earthy cushions add a shot of colour. 

 

Modern bedroom headboard

A statement bed needn't be pricey or upholstered. A spectrum of colours painted in geometric shapes to create the illusion of a headboard, gives this divan bed base impact.

 

Nature-inspired bedroom

Pale wooden furniture, tree motif bedlinen and 'bird' lights give this room a nature-inspired feel with a modern edge. These clever slide-in shelves are perfect for keeping bedroom clutter hidden when not needed. 

 

Soft white bedroom

Off-white walls, a cream headboard and personal wall art, which reflects the colours in the bedlinen, give this modern bedroom a warm and inviting feel. 

 

Rustic bedroom side table

A ladder-style bedside table is a practical way to keep bedroom essentials close by, and creates a rustic feel. The soft grey walls and heavy knitted throw keep the look warm.

 

Holiday-inspired bedroom

Dress the bed with striped covers and tropical cushions for a holiday-inspired look. Hang a breezy voile canopy above a four-poster bed and tie with faux peony flowers. 

 

Vibrant bedroom

The sunset shades of the spectrum (pinks, oranges and yellows) could jar with each other, but pale-grey flooring and a dash of black keep them grounded in this bedroom. Using big blocks of colour, rather than bitty pattern, prevent the look from feeling overloaded.

 

Red and pink bedroom

A red quilt and pink cushions transform the look of this bedroom. The false wall behind the bed was built especially to create extra storage and display space. 

 

Statement bedroom

Bedlinen in different colours or with a contrasting reverse pattern adds impact. Make patterns pop by surrounding them with pieces in solid colours.

 

Lilac bedroom

The soft lilac colours of the bedlinen and cushions are made all the more vibrant by the dark wood of the bed. A mixture of textures and shades add a warming touch. 

 

Fresh lilac bedroom

The panel behind the bed has been painted in warm lilac to match the brightly coloured bed linen, giving the bedroom a fresh look. The wall art in a deeper colour contrasts with the panel to create a focal point to the room. The scheme is finished off with simple accessories placed symmetrically on tables next to the bed.

 

Luxurious bedroom

A metallic bedspread and matching cushions give this bedroom a glamorous feel. The headboard is covered in taupe fabric to match the button-back chair. Dusty pink silk curtains add colour to the scheme.

 

Brick walls bedroom

Make a feature out of bare brick walls. Raw finishes like these create an eclectic mood when combined with sleek contemporary fittings like this simply stylish four-poster bed. 

 

Light, bright bedroom

This room balances the appeal of simple, neutral colours with classic glamour. An ornate armchair upholstered in cream fabric and painted white offers comfort and style, while flashes of black in the form of patterned cushions, a lamp and ornament create dramatic contrast. A modern wallpaper works well here as it is a subtle design in the same colours used in the rest of the room.

 

Sophisticated bedroom

This bedroom has a tranquil feel to it, created by a combination of pastel colours and soft, sumptuous textiles. Large scatter cushions in pretty fabrics pick out the green inn the bedlinen and the cream shades of the walls and bedposts. Rustic wooden bedside tables and blanket box give the room a homely feel.

 Cheerful bedroom

Punchy pinks and sizzling oranges tempered by the fresh tang of lime green will give any room a cheerful look. Add a shell trim to an oversized lampshade for a summer feel. 

Fifties bedroom

Sexy, warm deep olive walls are offset by neutral accessories like bedlinen, curtains and lampshades. Striped cushions in rich colours echo the walls and add extra colour, and a flat-screen TV is a luxurious touch. 

 

Natural bedroom

White walls and cherry wood floors are teamed with simple accessories. A low bed uses a wall as a headboard and is dressed with white linen. Throws and cushions in natural colours add texture and subtle pattern. Lamps with bamboo shades and metal legs, an ethnic figure, pictures with over-sized frames and roses in a glass are decorative touches.

 

Bedroom with ensuite bathroom

A giant leather bed balances the large room, layered with Deschamps and wool throws from Ede & Nia. An Indian armchair in wicker and wood sits next to a glossy dark wood chest, which displays ceramics and books. In the bathroom, the contemporary look continues with accessories like the chrome towel rail, curved mixer tap and rich wenge-veneer vanity unit.

 

Monochrome bedroom

Mix and match timeless rose prints, but stick to a black and white palette to give your room a cool, contemporary edge.

 

Palm Springs-inspired bedroom

For grown-up glamour, use flashes of feather-boa pink in sophisticated ways – a soft wool throw or lamp shades with classic print and a subtle sheen – against a white background. 

 

Silver patterned bedroom

Stylised naturalistic designs, both printed and embroidered, provide discreet elegance in soft neutral shades.

 

Monochrome bedroom

The striking black and white toile pattern on the bed linen makes the bed instantly stand out in this bedroom, and a chic headboard has been made out of two black panels. Matching grey side tables and lamps gives the room a more formal look, while hanging picture frames above the bed add a more personal touch. Blankets and clutter are kept out of sight in stylish vintage-style storage cases.

 

Bedroom with statement art

A panel of hand-painted Chinese wallpaper hanging above the bed gives this room a striking focal point and sets the tone for the bedroom's colour palette. 

 

Dark and dramatic bedroom

Team dark furniture with a dramatic wallpaper in charcoal and burnt orange for a contemporary look. Keep the other walls and flooring pale to add light, and accessorise with similarly toned cushions and a throw.

 

Bold bedroom

Layers of sensuous fabrics mixed with North African-inspired shapes, motifs, and just enough colour for impact, create a bedroom that's romantic as well as relaxing. A stunning headboard takes centre stage against the pale backdrop, while an eye-catching stripy bedspread adds another layer of comfort.

 

Contemporary bedroom with brown wallpaper

Choose calming colours and soft fabrics for a bedroom.

 

Modern bedroom and bathroom

The open-plan layout of this bedroom and bathroom allows light to permeate the area from all directions. Wood furnishings, in a pale tone, create a warm feel that is still light. 

 

Atmospheric bedroom

Soft blue walls add colour in this black and white bedroom. Two carved panels with fairy lights poked through is an eye-catching alternative to a headboard and provides atmospheric lighting. A wall light saves space and is ideal for bedtime reading. A mix of patterns completes the dramatic look.
