The interior design of a house in general and a bedroom in particular is not only a reflection of the owner’s lifestyle and taste preferences, but a certain compromise between the limitations of the living space and the desire to create an environment for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. It is clear that when arranging a country house, you can initially think through the correct layout of the house and place the bedroom away from noisy rooms - the living room and kitchen, but for residents of metropolitan areas everything is much more complicated.
Unfortunately, bedrooms in apartments in multi-storey buildings are located next to the living room and usually occupy rooms of no more than 12-15 square meters. m., where it is not very appropriate to decorate the interior, for example, in a classic style with chic baroque inserts. But this does not mean that it is impossible to create a stylish bedroom using original decoration, the right furniture and unusual decor. Knowing a few design subtleties, you can visually enlarge a small room and create the room for sleeping and relaxing of your dreams.Color scheme in bedroom design 2022
Choosing the color of the bedroom is one of the main tasks in creating a comfortable place to relax. And this is one of the easiest ways to improve your interior.
In 2022, in parallel with the black and white ensemble we love, which for several years has prevailed over other color schemes, other colors will also be fashionable. The trend is emerald, lemon, burgundy, red, gold tones and their shades, but do not forget that bright colors should be used spot-on, as accents that set off the main pastel and calm tones.
You can wallpaper your bedroom walls or paint them. There are several ways to use wallpaper in a bedroom interior:
- Wallpapering a room with wallpaper of the same color. In this case, it is better to choose wallpaper that is calm and more austere in color.
- Using wallpaper companions. For example, wallpaper with stripes is glued to two walls, and with a floral pattern to the other two.
- Decorating an accent wall. Most often this is bright wallpaper or photo wallpaper, but you can also make a panel of fabric or sheathe it with wood (usually the head of the bed is placed against such a wall).
- The wallpaper flows smoothly from the wall to the ceiling, at the head of the bed. In this way you can visually raise the ceiling.
- Wallpaper with a subtle geometric pattern or without a pattern, abstraction. Suitable for a bedroom in a minimalist style.
- Combined wallpaper. It is better to use shades of the same intensity. Experiment, combine not two, but three types of wallpaper. The first should be accent, the second with a pattern that matches the color of the details of the first, and the third should be neutral wallpaper.
- Use of photo wallpapers and posters. Thanks to modern technologies, photo wallpapers have acquired a new lease of life. After all, with their help you can create a unique atmosphere in the room. You can use ready-made photo wallpapers, or order them from a specialized workshop. Now even any photo you take can be transferred to photo wallpaper. Modern technologies for making such wallpaper make it possible to visually experiment with space (this could be a path going into the distance, a seascape that expands the space, a long arched corridor, or a road going into the distance). A great option is to place images of trees or a flowering meadow, printed on self-adhesive film, above the head of the bed.
When choosing the color of the walls in the interior design of your bedroom, pay attention to the color of the furniture, because if the furniture is light, light wallpaper will look best, especially if the room is not too large. Preference is given to white, beige, blue and light green colors.
And if the bedroom has dark furniture, then shades of warm colors are perfect - various options of brown, beige, green and sand.
It must be remembered that to create a harmonious interior, you need to select warm-colored materials for warm shades, and cold-colored materials for cold shades.
Take the choice between painting and wallpaper very seriously, since today there is a large selection of paints for interior decoration of rooms, and there was a period when they already began to displace wallpaper from their positions in the interior. But in 2022, fashion moves away from strict regulations and makes it possible to use both painting walls and wallpapering them on equal terms, and perhaps even a combination.
You probably have the feeling that bedroom interiors are in fashion today only in a neutral and environmentally friendly style, but it has also become fashionable to return to natural motifs and bright splashes of color schemes; the use of yellow, purple, blue, and their shades characteristic of 60s – 70s last century.
Wallpaper with metallic embossing, velvet, viscose, embossed silk-screen printing and other textile materials are suitable for decorating the bedroom. The richness of fabrics can fit perfectly into a modest interior design, adding a little elegance, a certain sophistication and at the same time comfort.
Don't want to change the color of your walls, but want to keep up with the times? There is a great way: just change the color of curtains, pillows, bedding, and you can play with light.
Combining wallpaper with furniture
Since furniture is an integral part of the design, it is important to think about how to combine it with wallpaper.
Wallpaper for a bedroom with an interior in dark and strict colors looks elegant.
Light furniture in the bedroom. For small rooms and light-colored furniture, it is recommended to select light-colored finishes; this will visually expand the room and harmonize with furniture of similar tones. In a large room, you can experiment with dark wallpaper tones; this will highlight the furniture more and emphasize its design.
Dark furniture in the bedroom. Both dark and light wallpapers can be combined with dark furniture; the main thing is not to combine warm and cold shades in the same bedroom. Combine warm shades with warm ones, and cool shades with cold ones.
Lighting in bedroom design.
In 2022, in the bedroom interior, preference is given to metal products, complemented by gold structures and at the same time the use of natural and environmentally friendly wood elements.
Therefore, when thinking over the details of lighting, keep in mind that in the coming year the following varieties are relevant:
1. Metal or glass decorative chandeliers (should not be the main light, but should act as decor).
2. Built-in lamps (used as main lighting).
3. Color-changing LED strips not only create the necessary atmosphere, but can also change the look of the bedroom, giving it a varied color palette.
4. Sconces, table or pendant lamps: Table lamps can be changed at any time and there is no need to make holes in the walls or ceiling.
Pendant lamps have become fashionable in recent years and have replaced table lamps and sconces.
5. Floor lamp. It is still in fashion today. Especially if there is a corner for an armchair in the bedroom, next to which there is always a floor lamp. You can play with it in many ways, make either a metal frame, or fabric upholstery, or make something original with your own hands.
Curtains in the bedroom interior, trend 2022
People are often interested in the question: what is the best way to hang a cornice, right above the window or closer to the ceiling? Designers advise hanging it as close to the ceiling as possible, even on a small window; with this technique you will visually increase the height of the ceilings of your bedroom and the composition of textiles from ceiling to floor will look more stylish and complete. One of the convenient options for attaching curtains in this way are curtain rods, which are installed directly on the ceiling.
This 2022, designers recommend choosing curtains in light colors made of silk, cotton and linen fabrics; it is this combination of texture and color that will visually enlarge the space and give the bedroom a feeling of lightness, cleanliness and airiness.
Blinds and roller blinds installed on the window itself will help protect your sleep from the bright morning sun.
Typically, curtains are chosen based on the textiles used, the style and color of the bedspreads and furniture upholstery. A well-chosen design of curtains in the bedroom interior will make the room warm, comfortable and harmonious.
Wake up beautiful! How to decorate the ceiling?
The ceiling is the part of the room that we see last when falling asleep and first when waking up.
To avoid “spitting on the ceiling” at night, you can hang a TV on it. Moreover, modern ultrathin plasmas are quite suitable for this. And waking up to your favorite TV shows or videos will be much more pleasant.
However, there are many other options for decorating the bedroom ceiling:
- Dropped ceilings
- Plasterboard multi-level structures
- Decorative panels
- Stucco molding
- Wooden beams
- Stretch ceiling
- Photo ceilings
The choice of one option or another depends on:
- Ceiling heights (for example, structures made of plasterboard or beams are not suitable for low ceilings, but stucco or decorative panels will look good)
- Depending on the style of the room (stucco molding for baroque, beams for country, suspended ceilings for high-tech style).
Well, did you wake up in the bedroom of your dreams? Let's get up!
Read below what the floor should be like for a comfortable climb.
Choosing a layout and arranging furniture in the bedroom
The main element of the bedroom is the bed, and its proper placement guarantees a positive result. Therefore, it should not create an obstacle while moving around the room. The distance from the bed to any furniture or wall should not be less than 60 cm.
Bed on the podium
This unusual option is perfect for bedrooms located on several square meters. You can arrange a spacious storage area on the podium. A podium bed can become the highlight of your bedroom, adding additional space and practicality to it (drawers, shelves, beds, tables are built into the podium) and all this is convenient to use. The podium can perform several functions: zoning, increasing the functionality of the area, and also adding expressiveness to the interior design of the bedroom.
Sliding partitions
Separate the bedroom area from the rest of the space. Convenient to place and easy to install - a good alternative to completely reorganizing the space. This option is suitable for both owners of spacious premises and small one-room apartments. Sliding partitions are a simple design that makes tangible changes to the overall appearance of the room, while perfectly combining stylish decor with the necessary practicality.
Return of the sofa bed
Fashion dictates practicality in everything. A sofa bed can fit into almost any interior. Its modern versions are varied in terms of folding mechanism and you can always choose something suitable just for you. The main thing when choosing is to make sure that the sofa bed is comfortable and easy to open and fold.
Built-in bed
This is an unusual solution, with oriental notes. All shelves in this version are located vertically. And the bed itself is, as it were, “recessed” into the niche of the floor podium. Its location should correspond to the level of the false floor, which is raised above the main floor by several tens of centimeters. And the rest of the podium area can be used as storage space.
Zoning of a sleeping place
You can divide one area into several small but comfortable rooms, dividing it with partitions. Partitions are distinguished by texture (lightweight or monumental) and size (solid or partial). Plasterboards are most often used; they look light and do not weigh down the interior.
Open plan
Although this layout is more common in the West, it still entered the trend of 2022. This is a bedroom that is not limited from the rest of the living space. This bedroom is suitable for people who crave space and freedom of movement throughout their apartment or house.
Placement in a niche
Suitable for small bedrooms, but it is advisable to leave the rest of the room free. A niche will create the feeling of a small bed, but it may not be one. It can be equipped with drawers for things and complemented with a variety of accessories. A good option for privacy, where you can sit comfortably and watch a movie on your laptop or read your favorite book. A niche in bedroom interior design looks quite original and attractive.
Wide and spacious beds, with comfortable mattresses and a richly decorated headboard, are now popular. If possible, it is better to opt for just such a bed. Discreet decorations on the walls will complement the picture. And the central focus of the design will be the bed itself.
Photo wallpaper
Using photo wallpaper in the hallway is a very common design technique.
Photo wallpaper consists of paintings and drawings of various sizes, which adds brightness to the new renovation and allows you to visually divide the space. This simple solution will give the most ordinary room a presentable look.
Using photo wallpaper in a small hallway allows you to create the impression of a larger space, but it is recommended to choose the most laconic design.
The following types of wallpaper are available to the buyer: printed on paper, vinyl, fabric, non-woven.
Headboard Ideas
Want a beautiful headboard? Today fashion offers a wide variety of options.
Fabric-covered headboard : a luxurious addition to any bedroom, its cozy soft support will give the bed a complete and sophisticated look. Pay attention to textiles such as velvet, it is trendy this year. Presented as upholstery for beds, chairs or sofas. The presence of velvet can also be emphasized by accessories, a blanket or a bedspread. It is possible to make such a headboard even on your own, with desire and perseverance.
Leather and textiles : an unusual combination of leather and textiles at the head of the bed can be a wonderful addition to the overall interior of the bedroom, filling it with chic combined with comfort.
Carved metal frames : decorating the head of the bed with forged metal will look harmonious in any style. Forged elements painted white will add warmth and comfort to the bedroom, and will also look impressive against its contrasting background. The combination of leather and metal will bring a special atmosphere to the bedroom interior.
Wood : also remains in demand. The classic combination of dark brown wood and green textile inserts will create an atmosphere of peace. Can be used in finishing furniture and finishing other elements of the bedroom. And headboards carved from wood with a clear pattern will look advantageous in any interior. For example, if it is a geometric pattern, then its shapes can be used as frames for photographs or colored decorations.
Brick wall : is becoming increasingly popular in creating an interior for the head of a bed; it makes any style more restrained. There is a large selection of imitation brick walls. It is important to opt for neutral tones.
Shelves : an excellent and practical option to adapt the head of the bed as shelves for various necessary things, as well as place your favorite books on them.
A new take on a classic
Fashion is fashion, but classics have always been, are and will remain eternal, especially for wealthy fans. However, here too, designers are trying to rethink the old and add modern accents. It’s worth noting that they do it quite well and very organically.
The aristocratic touch in the design of this bedroom plays a dominant role. A bold decision in wall decoration goes perfectly with elegant vintage furniture, as if the owners inherited it.
One way or another, the trends of 2018 - 2022 are only ideas that can only push you to create something special and unique for your bedroom. In any case, follow only your personal preferences in design. After all, the bedroom is not only about fashion and style, it is about your comfort, coziness and mood!
Indispensable elements in the bedroom interior
Nightstands : in this age of modern technology, you can see a tablet or phone on the nightstands. Ultimately, you need to put a glass of water on something. It is important that the height of the cabinets is at the level of the bed. With a thoughtful choice, they can become a bright and extraordinary accent in your bedroom. Square or round, avant-garde or classic, wooden or mirror. In various designs: from light ones, made of simple materials, to heavy painted ones. Any materials are suitable for making bedside tables. They should be with or without drawers, this is an individual matter. The main thing is to fit them organically into the overall space of the bedroom interior.
Bedside pouf : don’t forget about the bedspread, clothes and robe that we take off before going to bed because all these accessories need to be placed somewhere. Today, poufs are once again gaining popularity, serving as an aesthetic tool in bedroom design, while also providing practical properties. Based on quality, shape and finish, you can choose an ottoman that will “fit” into your interior. Due to their size, poufs take up little space and also serve as seating.
Floor hanger : very functional, it is convenient to hang things taken off before going to bed on it, especially since at any time you can move it to any free space because it is light and compact.
Walk-in closet : A great storage option if you have room for it in your bedroom. It should be taken into account that you are going to change clothes in the dressing room, so the space allocated for it should not be less than two square meters. A corner or a place along the wall is perfect for a dressing room. If you have it, you can safely abandon the chest of drawers, dressing table and other accessories that serve the function of storing things.
Sliding wardrobe : in the absence of a dressing room, this option is the most acceptable; do not forget about the drawers and availability, which you need to think about in advance. A sliding wardrobe can also play an important role in the interior design of a bedroom, since the design of the doors can perfectly complement the main style: in the form of ordinary mirrors, or with an original pattern applied to them (visually increasing the space), as well as decorated with any print, up to floral ornament.
This filling of the bedroom is ideal for a room area of 10-12 square meters. However, if you are lucky enough to have a large bedroom, then a soft armchair with a floor lamp and a dressing table with a chair will be a nice addition for women. You can also take note: the cabinets can be replaced with open hanging shelves, which will look very modern.
Bookshelves can be an interesting addition to the 2017 bedroom interior. It’s no secret that the bedroom often becomes an office, where, sitting comfortably, you can delve into reading your favorite book.
But where should I place the books, and perhaps some personal documents? It turns out that finding space for bookshelves is not such a difficult task. The space around the window opening, or a self-created niche, is perfect. But oddly enough, full-wall shelving is in fashion; if you allocate the right place for them, they can become a decoration in your bedroom design.
It is desirable that bookshelves have an open, breathing, inviting look. To avoid bulkiness, they are decorated in white or trimmed with light wood.
An unusual combination of materials is on trend for 2022
Fashion in the interior design of a bedroom dictates its own rules, which, fortunately, are not difficult to follow. Wood coverings, natural fabrics and a variety of environmentally friendly materials are becoming fashionable again. The trend is to use natural materials in eco-style in the bedroom. The combination of materials such as brass, marble and leather is welcome; it is quite bright and unusual and may become popular this year. However, not everyone can afford natural materials (they are not cheap), but you shouldn’t be upset, since they can be replaced with polymer compounds that imitate marble, as well as eco-leather. The main thing is to stick to the chosen color scheme and style.
Cotton, leather, linen and wood will also be relevant. It is better if their texture is as natural as possible, that is, less susceptible to industrial processing and retains natural shades. In general, as you understand, the use of natural materials and natural colors is at the peak of relevance.
New decor and comfort
Modern residents are increasingly turning to natural decor, handmade accessories, one-of-a-kind items and antique jewelry. It is these original things that help fill the house with comfort and warmth; they are what we miss so much “for the soul.”
New trends in bedroom decor - exotic fusion. An unusual display on the wall can be transformed at any time and take on absolutely any format - it can be a chic shawl or a luxurious evening dress.
Modern solutions in a luxurious shabby chic style: a deep, unobtrusive blue shade of the walls combined with natural beige, elegant forms of furniture, natural textures and natural artistic decorative motifs.
Unusual solutions and bold ideas always cause delight and attract the attention of others. But even such eccentric decor as tiles with an interesting mix of patterns at the headboard can very delicately complement a calm atmosphere and pastel palette.
Some more great bedroom design ideas
Floors
The best choice for finishing floors is wood, parquet boards, laminate and wood-look linoleum are also welcome, creating a natural effect. But a little warmth and sound insulation, in the form of small bedside rugs or one large one, won’t hurt; on the contrary, it can add a bright accent to the interior of the entire bedroom. You should avoid using carpet; this is a very impractical, dust-collecting covering, more suitable for office space.
Ceiling
Huge possibilities open up in choosing the design of the ceiling. Thanks to new collections of vinyl films, stretch ceilings remain an excellent option for the bedroom; an alternative to this is a multi-level figured ceiling. The advantage of these options is that they hide defects in the original ceiling.
Of course, no one has canceled the usual painting of ceilings, especially since the choice of paints is huge and you can choose both glossy and matte in different shades. Also, it is very important to use wooden inserts on the ceiling, which can be an independent decorative element or be a continuation of the pattern and texture of the walls.
Textured finish
A real discovery of recent years and a fashion trend for 2022 has been the use of a brick wall in the bedroom interior. It fits perfectly into the overall picture and can serve as an unusual backdrop for furniture and decor, even in small bedrooms. The textured finish can have a natural look, or, if it is too flashy, you can paint it white or some light shade using water-based paint.
Fireplace
Who hasn't dreamed of a fireplace in the bedroom? Today there is a wide range of choices for this much-loved decorative element (from actual to imitation). But if you still decide to place it in your bedroom, then you must take into account that the space around the fireplace must be played up by creating stonework, most often an imitation is used, which is not inferior in appearance to the natural one, and is also easy to install, not heavy and not fussy to use.
Wall decoration with wood
Decorating one wall with wooden panels, which should match the flooring or the decoration of the bed, will look very unusual and natural. If the house is large, then the wooden finish of the bed can smoothly transition to the wall and ceiling, becoming their continuation. Wood inspires, brings naturalness and nobility to the house, and creates a comfortable atmosphere in the house filled with natural light.
Live decoration
Since this year one of the most important indicators of a successful bedroom interior is environmental friendliness, you cannot do without fresh flowers, which can serve as a wonderful decoration for the room and bring a touch of freshness (one large flower or several medium-sized ones).
Wooden design elements
Oil or watercolor paintings, especially those depicting landscapes, will add an element of naturalness. Having wooden photo frames or unusual, stylish flower vases or dried arrangements can help make your bedroom fashionable.
The best wallpaper for the living room
The living room is the most versatile room in terms of decoration. Wallpapers of both calm tones and bright patterns are suitable here. Nowadays it is fashionable to combine colors and textures on different walls of the same room. So a common room is the best option for experiments.
