How to Pull off a Modern Bedroom Design
Pulling off a modern style in your bedroom isn’t at all difficult. In fact, it might be the easiest design you can have. It’s also comforting, and, isn’t that what a bedroom should be?
Here are ten steps to create a modern bedroom and take some time to relax and soak it all in.
Open Spaces
Modern style is all about open spaces. You can have all the modern designs in terms of art and furniture that you dream of, but, if there isn’t open space, you’re just crowding things in and creating clutter.
The key is to have the bed on one wall and other furnishings across the room, perhaps with an accent piece on one side, maybe by a window. You can make a small space look larger with mirrors and rugs.
Natural Light
Modern style homes that are built today include lots of windows so the natural light can shine in as you rise in the morning. If you have the option to build your home, try facing the main window in the bedroom toward the east or southeast so you can have bright light shining through all day long.
Lighting
If you don’t have a lot of windows in your bedroom, you can offset this by incorporating ample lighting by way of overhead lights and lamps. The key to bedroom lighting is soft and elegant, no matter the style, but with a modern room, you’ll also want some lighting that touches all corners of the space.
Natural Materials
When it comes time for the bedroom decorations, think natural. That’s woods, metals, and other natural elements like water. You can place a small fountain or fish tank on one side of the room while decorating with wood or metal vases and wood and metal furniture.
Cozy Textiles
Textiles are those little things often forgotten when it comes to decorating a bedroom, but, the truth is, this is the most significant action you can take to make your bedroom appear with a modern style.
Textiles are things like rugs and bed linens; things that make your bedroom what it should be – cozy and warm. Look for deep-pile rugs and high thread count linens to make everything stand out with charm.
Bright and Neutral Colors
Neutral colors first, but make them bright! This will play in with your natural lighting and other lighting so make it count. Blues and light hues of white or tan are always nice but if you feel like being a little bit funky you can use shades of orange and green with structured accents such as your bedspread and curtains.
Subtle Accents and Hues
The same goes for accents even if you use neutral colors. You can use accents that are bright and bold as long as they’re subtle and small. If you have technology in your bedroom, such as a TV or entertainment center, keep the lines simple and lest we say, modern.
Feature Wall
The most modern thing you can do in a bedroom is to create a feature wall. This can be a statement that sets the room apart from the rest of the house or simply makes a statement in the room itself.
If you’re using neutral colors in the room, consider a bold color on one wall. Or, if you’re using bright colors, consider a wall with textured wallpaper that stands out. We recommend the wall behind the bed so that it doesn’t detract from the rest of the room and linens.
Stylish Bed Build and Furnishings
Your linens are important as they really add the finishing touches to a bedroom space. At the very least, if you can’t invest in high thread count sheets, splurge a bit on the comforter. If you don’t have a bed frame, get one, and find a matching dresser and end tables to tie the room together.

Keep It Simple
The best way to decorate a bedroom is to simply, well, keep it simple. This is the most modern thing you can do in a space like this and it saves on the pocketbook, too.
In terms of simple, we mean simple lines, simple colors, simple accents. You don’t need a gigantic bed or other furnishings, just the furniture you have with a little spice, not too much!
