Popular bedroom interior design styles, photos of which inspire the creation of coziness, are distinguished by the variety and originality of ideas.
What should your bedroom be like?
The bedroom is the place where a person spends a third of his life, so its interior should be cozy and pleasant for the one who rests, relaxes, sleeps and gains strength in it.
Psychologists say that the choice of style depends on what psychotype we belong to. If you're eager to learn a little more about this, then follow me.
The choice of style depends on the person's taste
So, I present to you several styles.
Storage systems
Since a private house provides more rooms for storing household items than an apartment, the bedroom is furnished to a minimum. A separate dressing room will replace a standard closet, and instead of it, a nice chest of drawers is purchased for the bedroom, into which all the items necessary for sleep can easily fit: bedding and underwear, spare pillows and blankets. A low chest of drawers will help you comfortably arrange your thoughts and bedspreads when you take them off before going to bed.
If it is difficult or unusual to discard a closet, use built-in structures or sliding wardrobes. Both options help save space with a large capacity.
Classic
An ideal bedroom for conservatives and people with high status. It is generally accepted that people choose the classic style:
- with wealth, who know how to value stability and honor traditions;
- who do not like change, do not chase fashion;
- choose a calm, measured life without haste and fussiness.
Features of classic interiors
The classic bedroom is made in light shades. Walls, ceilings, and other surfaces are decorated with beautiful decor. Expensive furniture with regular geometric shapes is used to furnish the interior.
Calm tones in all details
Light walls and ceilings
The classic style interior has light walls covered with plain paint, expensive plaster or wallpaper in light beige, light milky, cream or soft peach shades.
High ceiling with voluminous stucco molding
The high ceiling of such a room attracts the eye with voluminous stucco with floral or regular geometric patterns. The decor does not have to be made of plaster; it can be replaced with moldings made of modern polymer material. This will save time and money.
Exquisite textiles
Curtains or lambrequins for such rooms are selected from expensive heavy fabric that drapes beautifully and lies in voluminous, even folds and creases. Thick fabric with :
- overflow;
- shine;
- golden brocade.
Curtains and drapes to match the entire room
The bottom of the fabric and tiebacks are often trimmed with fringe. This makes the curtains look expensive and festive.
Curtains, drapes or drapes should match, but not blend with, the bedspread and other items in the room.
Solid wooden furniture
The furniture chosen is massive, made from expensive wood . For style, it is unacceptable to choose ergonomic furniture. It will introduce dissonance into the interior and significantly dilute the style. A bulky wardrobe and a heavy chest of drawers or a large cabinet are chosen with decor and a luxurious, rich look.
Solid wooden furniture for a classic style
A bedroom with a classic design must have:
- large bed with a high soft or carved headboard;
- large wardrobe with cornices and mirror;
- bulky chest of drawers for linen;
- dressing table with ottoman;
- bedside tables.
Large bed with soft headboard
If the size allows, then such a room can be supplemented with an ottoman or an easy chair.
Advice It is necessary to ensure that the furniture does not overload the interior and looks organic!
Look appropriate in this interior:
- antiques (paintings in wide carved frames, figurines, vases, candlesticks);
- fireplace;
- columns;
- chandeliers, sconces made of crystal or with lampshades made of plain textiles in light shades;
- flooring made of marble or expensive parquet.
The presence of a fireplace as decor
Advantages:
- The classics always remain relevant.
- It is comfortable, cozy and has an important, respectable appearance.
Flaws:
- Style requires a lot of investment.

- Heavy curtains should be replaced with lambrequins made of thick fabric.

Bedroom in a modern classic style
Color spectrum
Calm shades of design will be the most suitable for decorating the room. After all, its main purpose remains to create comfortable conditions for relaxation of the whole body, eyes and brain.
The optimal colors remain white, beige, and sand shades. Similar tones look equally good in large rooms and bedrooms that are not very spacious.
For larger bedrooms, you can use darker colors to add extra elegance to the room. These can be shades of hot chocolate, bitter coffee, graphite.
Natural colors will perfectly resonate with the view outside the window, turning the bedroom into a continuation of the natural landscape.
Examples of a beautiful bedroom in the house will clearly demonstrate this statement.
Country style. A bedroom with a simple and comfortable interior, for connoisseurs of comfort
Light, cheerful people choose a country style design for their bedroom. Almost every country has its own rustic style. The French call it Provence. In the USA - Country.
American Country and French Provence have similar features, namely:
- They are environmentally friendly and comfortable.
- Wood, textiles, and ceramics are used to decorate room surfaces, create decor and furniture.
- Ceilings with wooden beams are not covered with boards or slabs.
A lot of wood and textiles in the bedroom interior
- The rooms often have fireplaces.
- The furniture is heavy and heavy.
- The items are aged, have noticeable wear and tear.
For decoration it is used:
- natural;
- often coarse textiles (linen, calico, cotton fabric);
- patchwork style blankets (patchwork);
- embroidered towels;
- napkins;
- lace pillows, handmade blankets.
Patchwork style blanket
Design features in Provence style
French country style is done in cold, desaturated shades. This choice is justified by the location of the area where it originated. The south of France “delights” its residents with warmth and hot sun most of the year, so they built their houses from natural materials (wood, stone, clay, ceramics) and used light, cool shades for their decoration. This creates a comfortable, cool environment inside the room that relieves the heat.
Cool purple in Provence style
Light solid wood furniture is used for furnishing. Bedroom furniture in such spaces is often painted white or a muted light color. It is made of solid birch, ash, and other wood. Has carved legs. The wooden headboard and foot of the bed are decorated with plank milling or paneling.
There are also metal models with forged elements. The wardrobe, chest of drawers, preening table, rocking chair with a simple design and squatness combine harmoniously with each other.
The combination of all furniture in one style
Textiles are only natural
Notable for the Provence style is textiles made from natural fibers. Pillows of different sizes (from 2-5 pieces) with pillowcases made of thin woven lace and chintz with small floral patterns are laid out on the bed. The bedspread is made from scraps or natural fabric with a thick floral pattern.
Curtains for the bedroom are chosen from light textiles with dense floral patterns . They are decorated along the edge with a contrasting plain or lantern ruffle. For convenience, wide tiebacks are used on the sides, sewn from the same fabric as the ruffles.
A lot of pillows are inherent in this style
Light plastered walls and floors
The walls are covered with white plaster or light paint. Wallpaper is rarely used for decoration. If the dimensions allow, then the walls can be decorated with glazed brick masonry or plaster, and also create abrasions and decorative cracks there.
The floor can be tiled. In apartments of multi-storey buildings, it is worth using a heating system for this solution, so that the bedroom is more cozy and comfortable in the off-season. The style is characterized by white wooden doors and window frames.
Plaster on the walls, tiles on the floor
Features of Country style
In contrast to Provence, the American country style is furnished with bulky, squat furniture made of stained wood.
You can see clear patterns, knots, cracks or abrasions on the wood. This fills the bedroom atmosphere with warmth and a light woody aroma.
Note: The surfaces of objects are also finished with wax. This preserves its appearance for a long time and makes it environmentally friendly.
Massive and slightly rough-looking models look squat and heavy. Therefore, to ensure that the interior is not overloaded, only the necessary items are installed in the room (bed, closet, chest of drawers, cabinets, etc.). If the dimensions allow, then you can install a dressing table or comfortable soft chairs there.
Bulky furniture for this style
Several wall finishing options
They can be:
- covered with light paper wallpaper with a thick pattern;

- covered with wooden panels or boards.
Wall paneling with wood panels

- striped fabrics;
- in a cage;
- or with a floral pattern.
Textiles with floral patterns
Tip A country-style bedroom will be made comfortable by soft natural rugs. They can be knitted from wool, woven from coarse natural fibers or woven from textile tapes. Natural skins, such as sheepskin, also look appropriate.

Wall decoration
A bedroom in a wooden house will look great with natural materials: logs, panels or clapboard.
Stone or brick walls will be an excellent option for creating a country, loft or classic bedroom.
However, it is not necessary that all the walls in the bedroom look the same. The emphasis can be placed on one wall, usually it is located at the head of the bed or opposite the bed.
For lovers of strict ancient design rules, you can use plaster or more attractive decorative plaster. For them, using paint or wallpaper remains a good option.

Unusual location
New designs suggest making a bedroom on the attic floor and creating a room with a view of the sky, starry or impossibly blue, gray with a dash of raindrops or cozy with snow.
An interesting option would be to locate the bedroom on the first floor, where the window faces the garden. In this version, the window opening, if properly designed, will become a kind of picture that will change with the changing seasons.
Minimalism. A universal solution for small apartments
Minimalism is a fairly popular style. It is chosen by people who do not like excesses and do not accumulate things.
Comfortable and versatile minimalism
Minimalist interiors are laconic and modern in appearance. No unnecessary parts are used for their arrangement. All elements are distinguished by the absence of complex decor and functionality. They are not decorated with rich decoration, carvings, paintings or complex multi-color designs. In the interior there are monochromatic colors and colors that are in harmony with each other.

There is no one style. For a bedroom with a laconic, minimalist design, the base is chosen, and this can be:
- eastern (Japanese, Chinese);
- modern (high-tech, loft);
- traditional (classical, English, French) style.
The basis of the minimalist style is hi-tech
Bedroom minimalistic style
Thus, in the bedroom, low beds are often installed on a podium, and it is important that, like other pieces of functional furniture, it blends in color with the walls. The choice is not bulky, but light-looking furniture without carvings or patterns.
Furniture without carvings or patterns
Advice If you choose a bed with a headboard, then order models with smooth leather or substitute upholstery. The color of the material should match the color of the curtains or carpeting.
Instead of bulky wardrobes, closed modular sets are installed in the bedroom. In addition to the bed and wardrobe, the interior can be complemented with nightstands and cute decor. If the design is based on classics, then the lighting fixtures and accessories used are the same as in a classic interior. Multi-arm chandeliers with lampshades or shades, candlesticks, antique figurines and paintings.
If the bedroom is made in Japanese or Chinese style, then this interior is complemented with ethnic decor.
Bed
The main element of furniture will be the bed. Usually it is installed with the head against one of the walls, but so that the person lying down can see the door to the room. For ease of use, convenient passages are left on both sides of the bed.
If the bedroom is designed for one person, the bed is moved sideways to the wall.
Bedside tables are installed next to the headboard.

Oriental style is distinguished by its laconic design. This allows us to safely call it minimalistic. Eastern countries (Japan, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and others) have a rich culture and therefore the decoration and furnishings of their houses surprise with their unusualness and originality.

Historical style. Expensive Victorian bedroom for connoisseurs of luxury
The Victorian bedroom impresses with its spaciousness and rich decoration. This design is chosen by wealthy people who value sophistication in everything, as well as lush decor and soft shapes in the interior.

A massive low chest of drawers is suitable for such a bedroom. It is also used as a dressing table. To do this, hang a mirror in a carved wooden frame above the chest of drawers. relaxinfo
The interior is particularly luxurious due to its multi-level chandelier with crystal pendants and sconces.
Normal location
For those who do not want to change the standard location too much, the traditional place will be a room on the second floor. Such a dislocation will help rid the bedroom as much as possible from sounds from the street or smells from the kitchen. A bedroom on the second floor will become a warmer room than the room located below.
For older people, the best option would be to have a bedroom on the first floor, where they will not have difficulty walking up stairs. In this case, the bedroom is moved to the maximum distance from the front door and kitchen area.
The ideal location of the bedroom would be the southwest side of the building, and if the windows face the courtyard, then the bedroom can be called an exemplary place.
It is this location that will provide the opportunity to lie in bed longer on a fine day, without squinting from the sun, and protect those sleeping from the noise of the street. At the same time, a fairly large amount of light will penetrate into the bedroom.
Scandinavian style. Practicality for those who like spacious rooms
Scandinavian style bedrooms are very bright. Such a practical design is appropriate for small rooms, because it makes them cozy, bright and functional. It is chosen by practical and easy-going people.
A real outlet for lovers of minimalism
What is the difference?
The Scandinavian style is very recognizable because it has a number of distinctive features, namely:
- There is a lot of white in the interior. The walls and ceiling, and sometimes the floor of the room, are painted white.
- Looks a little eclectic. Practical furniture with a modern design, rough-hewn wood models and antique items are used to furnish the bedroom.
- Practical. A bright interior does not look pale and faceless, because furniture with colored upholstery has an attractive design.
Light design with color accents
Attention to bedroom lighting
To make the bedroom interior look bright, just white color on the walls and ceiling is not enough, so lighting plays an important role in the interior design. Moreover, I’ll immediately clarify that decorative lighting is rarely used or not used at all.
Lamps, sconces and floor lamps are designed to illuminate and fill a room with light, which is why ordinary incandescent lamps are often found in Scandinavian bedrooms.
Incandescent lamps for a Scandinavian style bedroom
Advice For those who want to dilute the interior with color, you can use a chandelier painted in bright or unnatural colors.
The windows can be hung with light curtains in light colors or with colored patterns, or replaced with roller blinds. A bedroom without curtains will make the room even brighter.
The complete absence of decoration on the windows will not preserve privacy. If this is important to you, then you should take care and choose curtains or roller blinds.
Lighting
Bedroom lighting includes central, local (working) and decorative. A ceiling chandelier is installed in small rooms; in large rooms it is better to replace it with several lamps in each of the functional areas. Decorative lighting is represented by spotlights around the perimeter of the bedroom. Soft, diffused light will add elegance to the room. This option looks especially beautiful in attics, where the ceilings have an original shape. Local lighting is represented by sconces or floor, table lamps above the bed, near mirrors or in the reading corner area.
Strict English style - for conservatives
If you want the interior to be elegant and slightly restrained, then you will like the English style. This design is chosen by people who do not like to change anything in life.
Features of the English style
- Details in the interior are selected carefully.
- Expensive natural materials are used for finishing.
- The furniture installed is good quality and bulky.
Bedroom
The bedroom space should be distinguished by severity and grace at the same time. The walls of the room can be finished with wooden panels, as well as paper wallpaper of a single, discreet shade or with a small, dense pattern.
Strictness and grace in the English style
A large high bed made of dark wood can have a high headboard with carvings or be equipped with a canopy. A lot of pillows are laid out on top of a bedspread made of soft, pleasant-to-touch fabric. It is also appropriate to place woolen checkered blankets on it.
High large bed in the interior of the room
In addition to the bed, the bedroom can have bulky wooden chests of drawers, a wardrobe and bedside tables. It is important that they are made in the same color and match each other.
Fireplace
A fireplace will look harmonious in the interior; if there is no opportunity (or desire) to install a real one, then you can use bio- or electric fireplaces or make a fake fireplace.
Electric fireplace in English style
To summarize everything written above, it is worth recalling that comfort in the bedroom is often created from cute details. They are the ones who emphasize the style and fill the atmosphere with warmth. But in the process of finishing and selecting these details, the main thing to remember is that they must please you and bring you pleasure.
A color scheme
Monochrome interior will be a desirable, but optional way to create a cozy room.
If desired, the monochromatic finish can be diluted with pleasant tones from a more cheerful palette.
Blue, green and olive colors will remind you of hot summer and a charming meadow or strip of lake.
Yellow, sand, and mustard colors will add optimism to the room.
Lilac and purple inserts will attract you with their charming mystery and mysterious tranquility.
