Eclectic magic happens when different interior styles and ideas are merged together to create a unique look. This creative style often features an overarching theme, such as rustic, boho, or industrial. In these instances, we witness relaxed eclectic design principles with a leaning into the dominant aesthetic. This process translates well into real homes, where much-loved items are held onto as fashions change. The eclectic style allows us our unabridged passion for pieces from long ago or from sentimental sources. This is also an aesthetic that welcomes a multicolor, multi-patterned approach from the bold and the brave. Come with us as we tour 51 eclectic bedrooms with tips and ideas to help you decorate yours.
Curtains, rugs, and ceilings. All are bold statement pieces and none have to match in color or style. If you love it, it goes.
Not all of us have a spectacular vaulted ceiling to gaze up at from our pillows, but we can all create overhead wow factor with a bedroom chandelier. In a loose eclectic aesthetic, lighting can be modern, traditional, boho, or whatever your heart desires.
Use old components or historically inspired pieces to add a little age and character to featureless modern surroundings. This modern home gains a striking headboard design from a medieval-style door panel.

Boho eclectic. Mix trendy modern furniture with boho vibes to create a relaxed bedroom environment. Think rattan baskets, handmade wall decor, and macramé pendant lights.
Say it with wallpaper. Change up a modern bedroom design with a feature wall of traditional wallpaper. This delicate print is framed wonderfully within an arched motif that is atmospherically lit around its edge.
Speaking of frames, how about this astonishing gilded framework? The traditional arched motif forms a highly ornate headboard outline for a modern platform bed and extra interest around modern wall art.
Amp up the contrast with clashing colors. In this eclectic bedroom palette, teal, red, and yellow accents crash together to make an energized look. A combination of bold patterns adds to the visual feast.
Moody modern and traditional melds. Sleek bespoke cabinetry makes a sharp statement at either side of a platform bed. Fill the contemporary cabinets with classic busts and hang old oil paintings above the bed to offset the modernity. Allow the paintings to inspire a moody decor palette that will adhere the two styles.
Statement pieces from two different ages. Counterbalance a large and traditional painting with an equally large and modern light installation to make a striking juxtaposition.
Sharp modern meets soft and mellow. This sharply perforated wooden headboard design would look at home in a minimalist setting or a raw industrial space. However, in this eclectic bedroom design, it is teamed with a much softer boho throw and an elegant pale Persian rug.
Style through the ages. Neoclassical wall panels and an art deco-inspired bed design make a gloriously decorative ensemble. You may think that houndstooth print is a relatively modern touch, but the first houndstooth check actually dates back to between 360 BC and 100 BC!
Rustic eclectic split. Split an eclectic bedroom straight down the middle with raw rustic wood tone on one side and dark gray modern contrast on the other.
The rugged room split. Eat away pristine white neoclassical panels with a crumbled edge, which dissolves into a rugged rock face wall. Add perimeter lighting above the stone wall to dramatize the textural difference.
Eclectic glamor. Use mirrors and an abundance of lights to create a sparkling eclectic haven.
Pattern play. When using a multitude of patterns in an eclectic bedroom design, it’s possible to retain a level of cohesivity with similar colors and tones.
Industrial eclectic. Hard industrial backdrops benefit from softer infusions of boho-style basketweave, bare timber, warmly glowing string lights, and a relaxed swing chair.
Whimsical and regal. A gold candelabra sheds light upon a whimsical peacock wallcovering here, establishing luxurious eclectic flair.
Create a cohesive accent color thread. Despite the confusion of color and pattern in this interior design, a blue color thread stitches together the look with effortless cohesion.
Lock in color with black outlines. A black 4 poster bed frame sturdily holds together an assortment of colorful throw pillows, whilst black picture frames neatly contain vibrant artwork.
Jarring and uber fun. A shocking pink and deep teal color combo is sure to energize early in the morning. A bolster cushion adds a flourish of leopard print onto this plush teal tufted bed for good measure.
Removable wall panels. If you’re not sure whether you want to take the plunge with a bold wall covering, apply it to artists canvases or lightweight panels instead. These can be mounted side-by-side as a feature wall that is easily removable.
Minimalist eclectic loft. Three pieces of furniture, three pieces of additional decor. It doesn’t take an abundance of items to achieve a full eclectic image.
Light layers of opulence. Allow the eye a place to rest by arranging an eclectic curation upon a purely white backdrop.
Loud and electric. This solid red bedroom scheme receives a jolt of electric blue in the form of an unusual tiled headboard treatment.
A raw backdrop. Bright colors and contrasting styles work well against a laconic raw concrete background.
Just two contrasting colors is enough to fashion an eye-catching palette.
Open shelves and art walls. Arrange eclectic vignettes upon bookshelves and curate intriguing art walls to bring your space to life.
Neon clash. Even a beige backdrop can be made colorful with limited resources. A new duvet, curtains, scatter cushions, and a piece of textile art builds a cool neon clash here.
Surf’s up! Create a beachy, cool bedroom design with brightly painted surfboards as wall decor, mounted right up alongside abstract art.
Geometry meets botanical decor. Use monochrome gridwork and leaf prints to fashion a structured celebration of nature.
Allow dominant art colors to bleed from the canvas onto the furniture. Even a small splash of color will completely change the aesthetic of a dull bedside cabinet.
Asian eclectic boudoir. Utilize exquisite oriental-style panels to pattern a unique headboard design.
Neoclassical smash. The masterful neoclassical spirit of this relief art wall is broken down by a wall of modern closets and industrial style lighting.
Muted and metallic. A meld of muted hues is brought to life with a sprinkling of beautiful brass hardware and light fixtures.
Three starring colors. A deeply impactful, color saturated aesthetic is achievable with just a few shades.
Botanical and bold. Beginning with a mural of botanical motifs, build up the color palette shade by shade to reach a bold conclusion.

It’s all about the bed. No matter what decor is applied to a bedroom, where we sleep is the main event. Make your bed stand out from the rest of the crowd with a punchy paint finish.
Stunning skies. Ceilings are rarely the star of the show in a home interior but eclectic ceilings are different. From floral wallpapers and color-blocked applications to color-washes and cloud effects, eclectic ceilings shine.
Minimalist boho. Succinct and nature-kissed.
Sophisticated eclectic is achieved with high-end pieces and meticulous placement.
Modern art lover’s eclectic is all about big statements.
Yellow ochre overture. Begin your design with an earthy ochre backdrop that leads into intricately patterned pieces and handmade arts.
Let nature be your guide. A green panoramic view inspires many things. Let it inspire natural materials in your eclectic bedroom design, contrasting warm tints and metallics, and a sense of connection with the earth.
Neoclassical trimmed industrial decor. Deep, decorative crown molding counteracts a wall of exposed brickwork to create a strong and intricate setting.
A journey of discovery. After the instant attraction of a color-blocked wall, take the eye and the mind on a journey of discovery around the room with well-placed patterns and unique objects. This sage green bedroom design features framed areas of pattern instead of full wall coverings.
If heavily patterned and colored eclectic ceilings aren’t your thing, then how about a visually warming wood clad finish?
Just a few select pieces. Artwork, statement lighting, and a unique radiator design is all that’s needed to fashion a standout scheme.
Carve out your own contours. If you lack interesting nooks and architectural arches, create your own with curvaceous color-blocking. This colorful headboard design becomes one with the wall stucco.
Another hand painted headboard wall, this time with the addition of a metallic gold sunburst to brighten each morning.
Reclaimed gems. Scour thrift stores and yard sales for long lost gems to set within your scheme.
The statement floor. Paint stripes, swirls, or diamonds to give exposed floorboards new life.

Boho decor is a fun way to add relaxed character and cosiness to a bedroom design. The boho style is adaptable to many different kinds of base decor too, so you can always add a twist to a pre-existing Scandi-style space or a cool urban scheme. Despite its plethora of accessory options, the bohemian interior style is even suitable for minimalists. It only takes a few small additions to add a hint of bohemian flavour. Think natural materials, such as wicker baskets, rattan pendant lights, jute rugs, and wooden furniture. Add softness through an assortment of accent cushions and throws. Here are 51 boho bedrooms with ideas, tips and accessories to help you design yours.
Boho relief art. Whether raised from a canvas or created directly onto the wall, 3D relief art goes hand-in-hand with the textural bohemian aesthetic.
Spread boho style accessories evenly. If you don’t wish to go too deep with layering then space key pieces at regular intervals around the room. Handmade art over the headboard, a wicker pendant light, a boho bedroom chair, and a rustic planter are enough to instil a subtle essence without going overboard.

Create one focal piece. An archway acts as the perfect jumping-off point for boho wall decor. Paint the architectural feature in a warm beige colourway to contrast with a pale grey or white decor scheme, and hang a handwoven element at its centre.
If a new architectural feature isn’t in the budget, then consider a surface-mounted arch.
A hand-painted archway is a cheap and efficient way to hit the trend. You can accessorise with an arch-shaped mirror too.
Buy into the botanical theme. Indoor plants make perfect companions for the earthy boho look. Alternatively, you can opt for leafy art prints and wallcoverings.
As light as a feather. Boho decor schemes work well under all sorts of colour schemes, from dark and dramatic to colourful and joyous. However, there is something so very calming about a white, pale grey, or greige boho bedroom. This one employs feather decals to give the scheme an ever lighter, airier look.
The joy of jute. When it comes to boho rugs, it’s all about texture. A round jute rug makes a fitting natural base for the aesthetic whilst also complementing a curvaceous arched motif.
The power of the pendant. When choosing a light fitting, go large with a Bell wicker pendant to achieve visual impact.
If your budget won’t stretch to a large light fitting, a group of small wicker pendants can be easier on the pocket.
Hang a rug. Whether on the floor or the wall, a handwoven rug can instantly transform a boho bedroom colour scheme.
Thnk outside the wicker basket. Just because wicker pendants are leaders in boho bedroom decor, that doesn’t mean you can’t opt for a more chic bedroom chandelier. This tasselled light fixture works elegantly with understated wooden furniture and pretty botanical prints.
Anything goes. Industrial accessories, rustic feature walls, or farmhouse ceilings. Anything goes in the world of boho.
Uber chic with boho sprinkles. This elegant bedroom design merely hints at the bohemian trend. Indoor plants soften the focal wall between contemporary pendant lights, whilst wooden tables add character around a modern floor lamp.
Nearly neoclassical. This boho bedroom scheme is layered against panel moulding to give it a classical elegance. A dark green paint finish beautifully ties the two aesthetics together.
Make sunshine with yellow ochre accents. This warm hue makes cheerful contrast with natural greenery and black anchors.
Slats and stripes. The wood-slatted interior trend melds easily with the boho natural material palette. Add a striped bedroom rug to exaggerate the linear effect.
Take it to the floor. A low-level platform bed or floor bed design conveys a relaxed look.
Raw and rustic. You may think that raw concrete decor is synonymous with the industrial decor trend but it’s a friend of boho too, Team with rustic light-fittings and furniture to warm the visual.
Of course, you’re not limited to only raw wooden furniture with this trend. An upholstered bed has a softening effect on the scheme – and won’t hurt so much if you walk into it at night!
Feel free to exaggerate. It’s not always nice to exaggerate but when it comes to statement light fittings then we’re all about it.
Reshape a Scandi-style space. Clean-cut Scandinavian decor schemes make great vessels for layering in the boho look.
In this minimalist boho Scandi setting, it’s all about the plants
A stage for awesome finds. This split-level bedroom design forms a plinth on which to display a bright bed set and boldly underline a set of incredible bedroom pendant lights.
Black boho bedrooms. Out of the comfort zone for some, the black bedroom aesthetic is dramatically dreamy. You don’t have to go all-out though. Just pick one or two accent walls to turn up the intensity.
Pieces with personality. Source handmade or shapely items to give your space a unique personality, like this extraordinary end of bed bench.
Layer stripped wood floors with a multitude of rugs in different sizes, comfy floor cushions, and woven poufs.
Don’t miss an opportunity to add texture and detail. Even a simple bed throw becomes elevated with a tasselled edge.
Renter-friendly boho decor. If you’re renting your home, you might be limited from putting up wall decor and changing light fittings. Instead, source lightweight pieces that can be mounted with Command strips, or bring in a boho screen for a freestanding solution.
Fairy lights can make almost any space into a cozy bedroom. Wrap them around the headboard, a mirror frame, or string across the ceiling for instant magic.
Blue boho. Break out of the land of neutrals with a royal blue focal wall. This deep hue makes a rich companion for natural wood, cane, and wicker furniture.
Sky blue accessories make a soothing combination alongside cream stucco walls.
A masterful master bedroom. Create a commanding presence with colossal light fittings. These pendants are paired with corresponding coloured bedside tables, creating a white pairing on one side of the room, and brown-black counterparts on the other.
Another extraordinary pendant light design, this time descending from a ceiling of exquisitely aged wooden beams.
A journey of discovery. The boho aesthetic encourages loose layering and meandering layouts. This bedroom design incorporates a lounge area and open plan ensuite, broken apart by low-hanging lights and decorative screening. The effect is bemusing, intriguing, and sublime.
High-end hotel vibes. Deep emerald green accents with rich wood wall panels and a symmetrical layout creates a luxury getaway.
Polished concrete floors and a built-in bed forms a fluid layout.
Moroccan moments. A detailed Moroccan bed design makes a decorative addition for a boho backdrop.
Calm and controlled. In this relaxing modern bedroom scheme, boho influences enter two by two.
Restrained and restful. A pared back colour palette and limited accessories fashion a restful decor scheme. Add just a dash of visual interest with a patterned rug or floral display.

A bedroom you’ll never want to leave. Take cosy throws and oodles of cushions, add a library wall, and you may create a bedroom that you’ll never want to leave.
Boho bedroom sets. Not all furniture has to be mismatched or upcycled to fit this laid-back theme. Wood and cane bedroom sets fit the profile too. You can always add a little relaxed asymmetry with a strip of wall panelling, wood-slatting, or a large macrame wall hanging.
Another sophisticated boho theme with symmetry. This time with dainty pedestal side tables, mini bedroom pendant lights and wall art.
Curate a colourful gallery wall with abstract pieces…
Or, fashion an elaborate art statement with 3D elements.
Hammocks and swing chairs hit the easygoing look just right.
Tell a creative story with standout moments, such as this unique bedroom pendant light, extra-chunky tasselled throw, and extraordinary plants.
Create boho glamour with reflective wall treatments and mood lighting.
Small and succinct. Plants, wicker baskets, macramé, a cosy throw, and a plethora of cushions are all you need to succeed in a compact space.
If you are not a naturally tidy person, then a boho bedroom could be your friend. No one is going to notice that you didn’t tuck in your bed clothes under layers of throws. And, belongings don’t need to be organised onto shelves when there are a bunch of baskets to throw them into.
Create boho vignettes. A wicker chair with a canopy over top or a vintage chest stacked with books, magic lies in small moments.

Dark, mysterious, and dreamy, this huge gallery of 51 dark bedroom design ideas is filled with interior inspiration, tips and accessories to help you design yours. We’ll explore a large cross-section of black and dark grey bedroom decor schemes that set a stylish stage in the deep shadows, across a selection of neoclassical, modern, baroque and industrial aesthetics. With that said, dark doesn’t necessarily mean colourless or neutral. We also bring a selection of darkly coloured decor schemes across the deep blue and green arena, along with some luxe golden accents. You’ll find inspiration for unique headboards, eye-catching feature walls, spectacular bedroom lighting, and showstopping bedroom furniture too.
Super-size it. This dark bedroom design not only goes bold on tone with a moody mural headboard wall but the bed gets scaled up with a super wide platform base. The combination achieves a luxurious aesthetic that oozes confidence.
Black opulence with a side of mood lighting. This textural black headboard wall is atmospherically lit by a ribbon of LED light, which subtly stripes around the edge of a deeply wood-clad window reveal.
Teal dreams. Take a walk on the dark side with a base of rich teal and muted aubergine accents to create a sumptuous sleep space. A gold wall light and matching floor lamp splice in bright lustre.
Turn up the texture. When opting for a dark backdrop, consider introducing deep texture to add interest. This fabulously 3D headboard feature wall makes a tactile statement, whilst a handmade bedroom pendant light drops rustic vibes over top.
Another unique bedroom statement wall, this time with large format tiles in a series of vertical and horizontal orientations that catch the light differently.
The illuminated headboard line. A shallow slab headboard can be brought to life with a recessed ribbon of LEDs to create an uplifting bedroom feature.
Black and white distinction. Turn contrast up to the max by pairing your black bedroom features with crisp white elements. Keep accessories simple to attain a striking minimalist effect.
In this high-contrast black and white design, a statement lighting installation loops a tangle of highlights above a casually styled upholstered bed. Intriguing black and white artwork lines the walls.
Light strip series. This dark bedroom design features a series lighting strips to accentuate and define. One provides safe passage across a split level floor, two draw along the edges of a custom cut bedside mirror, and the final beam is an eye-catching oblique installation that is as much decor as it is reading light.
Get ready for the light show. This colour-changing light installation is made more impressive by a textured backdrop that scatters the glow.
Matching motifs. Inside this dark brown and black bedroom design, a piece of bedroom wall decor is made to match a wooden storage unit at the side of the room. Behind one of the bedside cabinets, wall stripes are added to echo the striped nature of the veneer.
Decorative zoning. Headboard feature walls are regularly used to define the sleeping area, but how about installing a custom ceiling treatment to mark entry into an ensuite bathroom or a bedroom courtyard?
Open plan bathtub areas and glass wall ensuite bathrooms allow dark bedroom designs to feel more spacious, which combats the oppressive nature of dark tones.
Panel your perimeter. Elegant panel moulding is a golden ticket to creating an effective neoclassical bedroom design, which looks phenomenal under a silky matt black coating. Add in a stunning bedroom chandelier for ultimate splendour.
Black baroque. Is there anything more fitting for a black bedroom backdrop than the intricacies of baroque design?
Dark blue and balanced. Dark blue is brought out of the shadows in the modern bedroom treatment with vibrant sunshine yellow accent pieces.
This dark bedroom concept takes the ‘dark’ side a little literally with a sombre reminder of how many days of life there is left to live. Of course, nobody really knows how long they have on this rock, so always live for today!
Green says go. Black canvases make a strong anchor for brighter elements, like these fresh and energising green bed accents. A green desk chair adds zest to a cool home office area that’s fashioned behind the headboard too,
Whitewashed boards make a breezy feature across a grey bedroom, which stylishly amalgamates the bed with a bedroom workspace.
It’s all in the details. When decorating in dark colours, it’s fun to add just a couple of colourful accessories to shake up the visual, like these eye-catching tinted glass vases.
Paint with light. Use bedroom pendant lights to fashion form and colour against black bedroom walls. Think of your light fixtures as jewellery for your bedroom.

In this imaginatively lit space, the ceiling light is a simple perimeter strip, which leaves an artistic grid lamp to steal the show.
Glamorous goals. Utilise high ceilings to install towering works of glamorous art, a colourful accent wall, and sculptural pendant lights. This dark bedroom features tall bespoke bookcases too, which add their own colourful accents and draw the eye up toward the rafters.
Double height darkness. In this double height bedroom, dark finishes help to visually unite a first floor sleep space and a mezzanine dressing room. Black coated ceiling beams strike a bold industrial aesthetic through the space.
Gothic vibes. Fans of goth music and fashion will revel in the darkness of a black on black decor scheme with skeleton art. A lighter floor will prevent the room from feeling too boxed in.
Gold standard. Placed against a cool concrete grey setting, this metallic headboard design looks like a giant bar of solid gold.
Slip through the cracks. Clever cutaways are illuminated with LED light to create a bedroom accent wall with artistic appeal. A black jute rug adds texture to the floor.
Glowing glass closets. In a dark bedroom setting, you can really play around with highlighting your favourite parts of the layout. Consider backlighting glass closets to showcase a treasured fashion collection. Use full length mirrors to reflect the light show.
Dark and floral. This impactful wallcovering brings the beauty of nature right to the pillow, along with two graceful bird themed pendant lights.
Mirrored optical illusions. When a space is darkly decorated, it pays to make the most of natural light sources with the help of reflective surfaces. In this dark grey bedroom, mirrored panels have been fitted from floor-to-ceiling to double the light and the sense of space.
A hint of pink softens a dark scheme. Introduce just a flush of blush across pillows, art and accent lighting.
Wireframed wonder. Without taking away from the dark blue decor of this space, a thin wireframe bedroom chandelier drops in a cool sculptural outline.
The power of a vertical garden wall. Inside a dark bedroom scheme, the lush green palette of nature is all the more touching.
Tonal elegance. Combined with clean white interludes and warming wood tone, black decor contributes to an elegant tonal palette.
Black zoning. Within a white perimeter, this solid black focal wall, bed comforter, and rug draws the eye to the sleeping area, whilst a black desk chair makes a home workspace.
Cosy up a dark decor scheme with a soft and light textural rug and glass pendant lights.
A 4 poster bed is commanding. Let this dominating piece take the lead and fashion the room to accentuate its glory.
At home in the mountains. If you’re a natural in the wilderness, then a black stone feature wall will have you dreaming of your next adventure.
Flexible accent colours. A dark bedroom design makes a perfect base to accommodate changing accent colours. Confine to bed throws and budget-friendly art for a swift and inexpensive swap.
Hail the hero piece. In dark surroundings, a bright hero piece of art or lighting stands out superbly.
Dark effects. A dark paint finish visually pushes away this bedroom accent wall from the neighbouring floor bed design.
Under the spotlight. Directional lights fall upon specific features in a shadowy bedroom design to make dramatic vignettes.
Hello halos. A backlit round mirror creates a heavenly halo on a black feature wall.
Where there is darkness, there is light. Sandwich your sleep space between a dramatic black backdrop and a sunlight filled courtyard to achieve a tranquil balance.
Layers of luxury. A golden accent column, a designer wall light, and deeply textural stone cladding combine to achieve a show-stopping focal point.

- Visualizer: Basel Ahmed & Mahmoud Salah El-Sa3idy
Links of light. An impressive modern chandelier, chain link bedroom pendant lights, and an illuminated headboard shelf make a bright connection from top to bottom.
A dark wonderland. With vines covering soaring arches, this dark bedroom concept speaks of fairy tales and castles from long ago.
Slats and stone. Two trends make up this extraordinary feature wall, where slats of different length fashion a cityscape-like silhouette against a polished stone panel.
Geometric focal point. The recessed headboard shelf behind this 4 poster bed is picked out in an eyecatching geo print that makes busy contrast with the rest of the calm grey room.
Slatted ceiling lights. Brighten dark rafters with a series of bright strip lights between slatted beams.

Large and spacious bedrooms might be luxurious but small bedrooms can cosily and succinctly provide us with all of the comforts that we need. This huge collection of 51 small bedroom design ideas comes with tips and stylish accessories to help you design yours. We’ll gather exciting inspiration for small sleep spaces from open plan interiors divided by split level floors and graceful portieres. Inventive studio apartment layouts show off some glass wall bedrooms, compact sleeping cubes, and lofted bed solutions. We’ll also discover a plethora of ideas for bespoke bed structures that expertly navigate the confines of space and provide useful storage spaces to boot.
Choose multipurpose bed bases. In small spaces, furniture should ideally work double duty. This bespoke bed base includes a staircase that gives rise to a row of wall mounted units. There are also deep drawers inside the base, headboard and footboard to maximise limited storage opportunities.

The studio sleep cube. When faced with the zoning challenges that an open concept studio space presents, a custom-built cube provides a cosy and practical solution.
Split level floors successfully communicate zoning too. This studio bedroom space is raised onto a luxurious stone slab to establish a clear divide in function from an adjacent lounge area.
Glass wall bedrooms supply sleep spaces with a comfortingly protective barrier, whilst still benefiting from natural light-share.
Glass wall rooms also allow the line of sight to pass through unobstructed, which makes the whole apartment feel larger.
Partitions can make or break a small layout. Use partial partition walls to visually mark the change in function without fully cutting off the floor area.
The Murphy bed. When a small room has to function as several different things, such as a work space or a lounge, a fold-away Murphy bed makes the ultimate space-saving solution.
Floating desks and vanities. When floor space is restricted, desks and dressing tables are best raised off the floor to avoid the clutter and tripping hazard of support legs. Better yet, combine both functions into one piece with a long work surface and a wall mirror.
Internally situated small bedrooms. This bedroom has no windows or natural light sources of its own and so borrows light from sliding glass doors on each side. Recessed perimeter lights help to brighten the overall look.
Shared TV viewing. So, you have a small studio apartment but look on the bright side, you only have to buy one TV! Aligning the bed behind the sofa gives both an optimum viewing angle. A simple portiere can be drawn around the bed when it’s time to rest.
A shallow attic space can be turned into a snug bedroom for a book lover with a few custom-cut wall shelves and a simple floor bed.
Pack and stack. Long, narrow homes require creative planning with modules and interlocking blocks. A bedroom nook can be lofted above storage space or even into void headspace above a bathtub or toilet in a neighbouring bathroom.
This lofted bed hovers above a stylish home workspace. Skylights give the homeowner a view of the stars at night and a bright wakeup call in the morning.
Fully utilise all nooks and alcoves. This small nook is just large enough to hold a double bed. However, by raising the bedstead up onto a mid-level platform, there becomes a huge storage space underneath. The elevated floor also facilitates access to a high recess, ideal for clothes storage, which would otherwise have been wasted.
Now you see it, now you don’t. This TV wall moves on an ingenious track system that slides closed in front of a Murphy bed, allowing the homeowner to enjoy a much larger living room or a divided layout.
Room for a friend. This small space accommodates two sleepers with basic, built-in bed bases and ample storage. A hammock outside makes room for one more!
Framed to perfection. A frame of book shelves, decorative nooks and a single wardrobe makes an attractive and practical containment unit for this small bedroom.
Fully-fitted. Sleek lines improve the appearance of a small bedroom. Fully fitted furniture can be fashioned to flow as one sleek piece around the room, like this headboard, bedside unit, window seat and modern desk combo.
Build a bed block. Wall-to-wall and fully stocked with storage, this wooden bed block is fully bespoke to the space. During the day, scatter cushions make the large bed into a comfy hangout spot. Two modern wall sconces serve the head of the bed with practical reading light.
Concealed storage and uplifting colour. Deep drawers serve as a concealed wardrobe in the base of this bespoke bed design. Brightly coloured cushions and throws make the small room appear cheerful and warm in the midst of a grey city panorama.
Tear up the rule book. Your home layout can be anything you want it to be. This floor bed butts up against a floor sofa to create a low-level, low-impact arrangement.
Blend with the backdrop. The bedroom goes almost undetected in this long layout, thanks to a built-in floor bed design that tidily frames the window.
Cubed and concealed. Solid wooden doors can be closed around this sleep cube to fully conceal it from the rest of the studio space during the day or when visitors are expected.
With a bedroom cube this pretty, you might not want to tuck it away.
Very small bedrooms can sometimes feel dingy and claustrophobic. A light colour scheme of fresh white and pastel accents will go a long way in producing a pleasant airy atmosphere. Linear wall lights cut a simple source of illumination.
Play with spatial perception. Geometric paint effects mislead the eye to produce space bending results.
Two-tone wall treatments produce successful space altering outcomes too.
Light permeable room dividers. Open wooden slats allow light to be shared through this thin room divider, both from the window and from a chic bedroom chandelier.
Looking for wall decor inspiration? You’ll never find yourself running late when getting dressed in the mornings with a large wall clock like this elegant modern piece.
In contradiction to small bedroom constraints, oversized headboard panelling can actually increase the sense of space.
In small bedrooms, wall art with big subjects can open the mind.
Another art idea that instils a sense of “space”.
Small bedrooms that are situated under the eaves may leave some people feeling a little closed in. Combat the effects of a low roofline with a sloping skylight.
Create contrast with opposing wall colours. The contradiction will build added dimension.
Boho style decor makes small spaces into cosy, colourful, and creative dens.
Embrace oddly shaped interiors with custom-fit closets.
Camping at home. This twin bedroom niche has a fun tent-like appearance, which ties in beautifully with its woodland view.
Communicate dual purpose with contrasting wall textures, no matter how small. The reading nook in this clean white bedroom is defined with a narrow frame of exposed brickwork, which completely transforms the aesthetic.
Another industrial inspired mini makeover, this time with a half-height room divider to achieve subtle separation from a lounge area.
Disrupt small spaces with a slice of unexpected colour.
Rise to the occasion. This bed base is designed with a rise on one side to encase a radiator and to create an inviting window seat.
Step inside. A solid wood chamber fashions a room within a room.
Double-sided dividers. This small interior is sliced by a double-sided bookcase design that forms the wall of a narrow bedroom. Behind the partition, a split level floor forms seating for a home workspace and an elevated bed base. More images here.
This 18 square meter living space features an L-shaped kitchen and desk combo to make a single fluid line around the perimeter. The white and black-framed bed design cohesively coordinates with wall cubbies that store the kitchen and office supplies.
Even though this headboard is inches from the sofa, the bedroom feels entirely separate thanks to a slatted screen and a raised floor. Window shutters smartly mirror the lightweight partition.
Is it a headboard or a dining bar? It’s both, and it provides great views of the TV.
Room width may be tight, but elegant bedroom pendant lights and eye-catching wall art provide a wealth of style.
Make slimline statements. A basic black electrical wire draws interest up and over this headboard area without eating up any precious space.
