For a fun, funky look, try mixing two completely different materials when choosing bedroom sets. A night stand from a yard sale with a faux fur duvet, or hang a funky Art Nouveau sketch above the bed. Keep the colors light and fun, and don’t be afraid to add unique little items like the bright yellow skull pictured. Keep a vase of flowers next to the bed for vitality and a fresh aroma, and choose throw pillows in a variety of different but complimentary designs. While some designers believe that all bedrooms should have a uniform, symmetrical look, sometimes the coziest spaces are ones with unique, funky contrasts.

2. Elegance in Black and White

Elegance in Black and White Bedroom Designs

Black is a color often underused in bedroom decor, but it can add a dignity and depth to the room. Contrast black detailing on the bed with a gleaming white rug and white drapes. Another way to add depth to black bedroom designs it to choose lighting fixtures that are also black. As pictured, the overhead chandelier and twin night stand lights have black shades, adding a muted but warm ambience at night. These bedroom colors can also be enhanced by adding a royal gold or silver tone as an accent color, perfect for wallpaper or slip covers. The strong black highlights in this room add a masculine tone while the heavy brocaded drapes and recessed ceiling lighting keep this bedroom from feeling too aloof.

3. Lofty Designs

Lofty Bedroom Designs

It’s quite fashionable to convert old lofts or industrial spaces into more intimate bedroom spaces. Bedroom decorating ideas for converted buildings include keeping some of the original stenciling on the wall, while adding a few color-matched prints. With generous natural light to work with, keep the secondary bedroom ideas in light earth tones, such as the pictured bed and rug. Add a splash of color with fresh flowers, and a matching flowery duvet. Instead of trying to work against the commercial look of the space, work with it instead, adding a soft whitewash to the brick and matching with complimentary colors for the bed and accessories.

4. Quilted Elegance

If strong color contrasts designs for bedroom sets don’t appeal to you, keep your colors focused on neutral cream and brown tones. An elegant quilted bedspread looks great with matching cream and white furniture. The subtle but powerful look of the crystal chandelier adds a nice touch to this bedroom design, while the gold sunburst mirror frame and white bedroom bench give this bedroom a queenly look. While this look may be a little too understated for some, sometimes adding matronly elegance to a room can add quiet appeal. Note the use of drapes above the headboard, which add a nice vertical element to the room. By removing carpets and/or rugs, bedrooms like these are easier to clean and keep in pristine condition.

5. Irregular Shapes Add Depth

Irregular Shapes Add Depth

As pictured, the unique wallpaper design and oddly-shaped headboard add unique depth and character to this bedroom set. Unvarnished, natural wood flowers elegantly compliment the chocolate brown and cream colors of the bed and bedroom furniture. The telescope makes excellent use of open windows, while the oversized prints add a splash of color and vibrancy to this bedroom design. The large circular rug adds a secondary geometric element to the bedroom and helps add intimacy to what is otherwise a very large space. Note the ceiling mounted lamps, which help draw the eye downward and convert a high ceiling to a more intimate bedroom setting without adding visual clutter. Placing a comfortable chair near the large windows gives better use of the space, encouraging you to use the bedroom for more than just sleep.

6. Use Light and White Together

The secondary colors are pleasant earth tones, with a chocolate dressing bench and natural wood paneling on the ceiling. Note how the ceiling is recessed to reduce the overall verticality without sacrificing airiness and space, with tiny spotlights adding a nice accent at night.

Some funky white coral wall sconces and a single aquatic-themed throw pillow will help you enjoy a deep sleep every night in this bedroom.

A great way to start crafting bedroom sets is to choose a non-conventional bed. As pictured, this unique bed made from unfinished wood adds a delightful earthy look to the room. Continue on with whitewashed walls and ceiling, making the bedroom feel rustic yet modern at the same time.

Pink, and its cousins mauve and chartreuse, are often overlooked when coming up with bedroom design ideas.

An old wooden box or steamer trunk can double as furniture, while the cloakroom style hooks break up what would otherwise be a sterile wall.
