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.

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.

Serene circles and collected curves. A huge globe pendant light hovers like a full moon from a domed ceiling rose. A round bed reflects the outline of the rose, whilst a circular rug, ottoman and racetrack-panelled headboard accentuate the curved shape theme.

Indulge in high-end wallpapers without breaking the bank by fashioning framed wallpaper panels. This bird and botanical print makes a graceful addition to either side of a stylish contoured headboard.
Gorgeous greys. Charcoal and shades of pewter create areas of light and shade in this moody bedroom decor scheme. A modern linear suspension light illuminates the darker section of the room, where it highlights a pair of tiered side tables.
Creative contours. These unique wooden wall panels feature a cracked, contoured surface effect. Cosy throws add ripples across the bed and an end of bed bench.

Feathery final touches. Dried white pampas grass makes a soft bedside adornment, whilst a feathered pendant light shade adds soft illumination at the opposite side.
Faux brickwork panels and a concrete create an industrial bedroom. Glamorous gold light fixtures and a sophisticated wingback chair take the look upmarket.
