- selected texture of coatings (wood, concrete, chrome).
What colors are best for the bedroom?
We have already noted the importance of a calm color scheme for the interior of a bedroom in a modern style, now we will analyze it in more detail.
You can choose a monochrome palette and play with textures or show the character of a room with bright colors. For bedroom design, both light and dark dramatic shades are suitable - it all depends on the size of the room and your preferences.
White means always hitting the target. But a completely white bedroom in a modern style looks impersonal. If you choose this color for decoration, complement it with colored decor.
Gray is another base color. But remember - it is from the cold spectrum, which means it will only fit in a bedroom with southern windows.
Beige is a replacement for gray for northern rooms. It will make the interior of the bedroom cozy.
If you are planning a combination of several shades, the base one should be as calm as possible. Use the rest in dosage and choose pastel, muted colors.
Be wary of pure peach, pink, burgundy and emerald flowers - they are outdated and can ruin a modern bedroom. But yellow, blue and terracotta are perfect.
Which finish should you use?
Floor. The floor covering, with which it is impossible to miscalculate in the design of the bedroom, is natural wood or its imitation. They are versatile and can be combined with any shade, they will be appropriate even in minimalistic interiors.
Natural parquet is warmer and more durable, but in order to save money, it can be replaced with laminate. Affordable, easy to install and durable, it is perfect for a variety of modern bedrooms.
If you're looking for coziness, add a rug. Solid patterns, geometric patterns or oriental motifs will do.
Walls. Forget luxury and turn your eyes on restraint and simplicity. Plain plain wallpaper or painting is the most suitable option. For decoration, decorative plaster, brickwork, concrete or wood panels or their imitation are also used.
The choice of colors is equally important. Use light (white, beige, gray) or dark (black, chocolate, wet asphalt) as the main. For an accent wall, muted or dirty shades are suitable.
If you are planning a photo wallpaper or drawing for an accent wall, let it be abstraction or geometry.
Ceiling.This part of the bedroom is the last thing to think about - there is nothing better than a classic white ceiling! Paint it or order a tensioner. It is easy to hide under the film not only alignment flaws and seams between the plates, but also the wiring.
What kind of furniture will fit?
Before buying any furniture, remember the general characteristics: straight clear lines, simple modern design, minimalism.
Any modern bedroom starts with choosing a bed. It should be comfortable, but at the same time laconic. Instead of a wrought-iron and quirky headboard, choose a soft one. The main design element will be bed linen and other textiles, and a fabric headboard will become part of this composition.
Replace bulky bedside tables with light coasters or tables along the edges, so you can maintain visual space.
Storage systems should also be kept as simple as possible. The ideal solution is a wardrobe with glossy, mirrored or textured facades. If you need a chest of drawers, choose rectangular models without decor.
If the area does not allow placing a sleeping place and a large wardrobe, combine them. Drawers under the bed are used for storing bed and off-season clothes, pencil cases on the sides of the bed are suitable as the main wardrobe system. If you hang a narrow elongated wardrobe between them, the bed will be in a niche, and there will be more storage space.
Often in the design of the bedroom, space is also allocated for the work area. Organize a table on a windowsill or place it by a window if the sun's rays won't interfere with your chores. In sunny bedrooms, it is better to place the table against the wall, with the end facing the window opening. If the table fits only light and compact, then the chair can be both classic and nondescript, and accent.
When arranging the make-up area, abandon the oversized dressing table in favor of compact high-tech consoles. Install a rectangular or square mirror over it and take care of high-quality lighting.
Choosing stylish textiles and curtains
In modern style, they love textiles, so it should be chosen with special fondness. In addition, now it will be easy to change the design of the bedroom: new covers for pillows, blankets and curtains - the interior will change beyond recognition!
Start with a large rug or two small ones on the sides to make it easier to get up in the morning.
Blankets, bedspreads and decorative pillows will decorate the main character of the room - the bed. Place 3-5 additional bright pillows at the head of the bed, cover the bed with a blanket slightly larger than the size of the mattress, and throw a knitted blanket on top - comfort is guaranteed!
No bedroom is complete without curtains. After all, they carry not only a decorative, but also a protective function, allowing you not to wake up with the sunrise. Classic curtains for a modern style - solid and dense. Don't complicate the silhouette with draperies, just let them flow along the windows.
We select beautiful decor and accessories
Decorative objects emphasize the taste of the owners and make the space special. If you have chosen neutral tones for decoration and furniture, indulge in a prank in the decoration! Abstract images, photographs and even carpets will serve as a great addition to the interior.
In small bedrooms, mirrors are used, they will also correct the wrong layout of the room. A planter for plants or an unusual lamp can also become an art object.
The modern style bedroom dictates the rule "less is better." Don't overdo it and don't overwhelm your room with too many elements. 1-2 paintings and a couple of additional accessories are enough.
Lighting recommendations
The main lighting fixture in the bedroom design is the central chandelier.For small bedrooms, laconic and almost invisible lamps are suitable, for large bedrooms - large ones hanging from the ceiling.
The second area to highlight is the bed. Floor lamps, bedside lamps or sconces can also look simple or catchy.
If your bedroom has a dressing or work desk, consider lighting for that as well.
An interesting effect can be achieved by highlighting a dark textured surface. For example, light will perfectly accentuate the texture of a wooden, brick or concrete part of the wall. You will be able to enjoy this effect every evening before going to bed, because such a dim light is the best accompaniment for relaxation.
